Bricked N95

[m4rt1n5]

Earlier today I used Nemesis to update the version of my N95 8GB to 0558086 which gave me a firmware v20 and all was well the first time it re-started it booted ok and I disconnected it from the cable. However I may have bricked my phone because I went to restore my back up using content copier to retstore my memory and it may have had a phone specific settings in it??? Because once it restored it booted and it came up
"Phone start-up failed contact the retailer"
Can someone help or do I now have a very expensive brick not covered by warranty?

Perform a full reset, it will then boot up ok, just restore your contacts not settings.

Sorry for being silly how do I do that ?

I did not mention I cannot get past the screen which is frozen with the contact retailer message so I cannot perform the *#7370# reset option so is there any other way? Tried throwing against the wall, bounces but doesnt reset.....

I did not see the three key start up reset option there previously, You have to be a contortionist with the slider open but it worked fine many thanks!!!!

See m4rt1n5 post prior to yours prixxx, you will see he managed to do just this.

Yep, its a bit of an effort doing it, but doable (I did it quite a number of times with my N95-1).
