How, Reformatting & Restoring N86???

[showmak]

What is the best and safest way to Reformat & Restore the N86 as it was fresh out from the box, with all the applications and widgets restoration, and this is both for phone and mass memories

BTW, I have did the back up of the phone for both phone & mass memories when first time I switched on the phone with using Nokia Ovi Suite.

The reason for doing this, is because I want to give it to a friend but I want it to be as a fresh out from the box phone.

Please write down an adequate tutorial on how to proceed.

I did the hard reset successfully, I got back all the preinstalled applications,except NGage, Youtube and Facebook.I did not do the restore to the previous backup I made,I thought I might bring some settings or files from the previous software that might effect the new one.The phone is totally fresh now and gained extra spaces.I am happy with my phone now,and I updated the software to v21.006 and I will see what improvements has got.

Hack your phone before update it will remain hacked update by OTA.
