A Virus creeped into my phone one day, and hell he changed the whole language of my phone to hebrew. Also any programs didnt open. I could see that software installed on my cell in the Application manager. I tried to uninstall but it didnt work, it still remained.
Last thing i wanted to do was Reseting my phone. Still i went for it as no other trick worked for me. I did a SOFT RESET :
By dialing : *#7370#
A more powerful Soft reset can be done by dialing : *#7780#
Everything came to normal- the theme, empty phonebook, empty messages
Except the Virus still remained in the phone memory installed !
My phone still remained in hebrew language.
Creating a backup of phone memory, reseting and restoring backup also didnt work as it reinstalled the virus.
The last option that worked for me was HARD RESET
It can be done in following ways :
1)Turn off ur phone
2)Press and hold the following three buttons (At once)
-Call Answer button (Green)
-The * button
-The 3 number button.
3)With all these 3 keys pressed Turn on the phone (Press Turn on button and leave it when phone starts but dont leave these 3 keys until u get a message saying "Formatting")
4)You will see the progress in formatting and when it becomes 100% the phone will restart.
5)Now it will be a all new showroom piece :)
After this hard reset the phone became all new with no vulnerabilities in it.
