System might be damanged,

You can hard reset the phone (Factory Settings)
This will reinstall the operating system inside the phone back to how it first was.
(internal memory gets formatted then the rom reloads the os back)
(Solves all kinds of problems.)

Switch the phone "OFF"
Hold "3" (button) + "Green Call" (button) + "*" (star button)
Switch the phone "ON" while holding the above three buttons.
Continue holding for about 20 seconds then let go.

Please note this will format all the saved information stored in phone memory. including phonebook numbers (if not stored on SIM card).
Try to make backups first.
You have been "Warned".

Best of Luck.

2 press and keep down the keeys green/talk + '3' + '*', - power on the phone at the same time
3 release the keys when the formatting starts.

SOURCE: when i switch on, it

Do this trick 100% ok I have tested to many...........
Press and hold 3 keys i.e. Green, dial key, *, Star key, no. 3 , key on keypad and then press the power on/off to switch on the phone.Examine the battery backup of your phone. Remember, do not let go the 3 button i.e * + 3 + green just press and hold keys until you see a formatting word screen shown........But in N series don't release the three button until the time set shown . original system and factory setting has also done automatically.There is no guarantee coz it might not work with some phone.............................................Try and Enjoy

When i try to put on the phone it tells me the star-up has failed i should contact the retailer

Yes, you should. Or before that you can check whether it is your battery problem by reinserting your battery and switching on your phone. Or checking if it is your sim card error, by reinserting your sim card into the phone. Start-up failed usually is related to software and hardware, thus bringing your phone back to the retailer for servicing would be the best option.

Nokia c7-00 When switch on the phone, it displays : "Phone start-up failed Contact retailer."

Hi, it should be a hardware problem, and just bring it down to your nearest service provider or nokia customer care center and they would probably give you a replacement set.

Message comes up PHONE START UP FAILED. CONTACT

This is usually caused by corruption of the phones firmware. You will need to take the phone to a reputable mobile phone engineer or Nokia Service Point for repair.

Nokia 3230 start-up failed

have you tried reformatting it??

try this

12345 is a standard code and 00000, but if you change it and you have forgotten your unlock code, you'll just have to reformat it

key combination which is used to hard reset the phone (similar to #*7370). It is useful in some cases, for example when the phone cannot reboot.

The trick is
Switch off the phone.
Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, * button, and ‘3′ button
While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone
When the message ‘Formatting’ appears on the screen, release all of the buttons...


reformatting your phone will delete all your data and also will restore all the defaults of your phone, and any corrupted application will be reinstalled, but if the formating doesn't work, you'll just have to re flash it, the safe way is to go to a near repair shop of your phone and have then to re flash your phone,

Samsung sgh-a707....camera and video features no longer work...error message says camera failed....

Solution: Bring it into your retailer. Mine did the same thing in 2008 (I'd open up camera and it would just freeze). AT&T gave me a brand new phone, save the sim card, battery, and battery cover.

P.S. I'd back up all your photos/videos/ringtones/etc. to and SD card so you don't lose them all like I did. Contacts saved to sim card stay.
