Well there has always been a situation when you need your phone to be restored to its factory settings or even sometimes when some odd things start happening in your phone and simply restoring it to factory settings isn’t helping then you look to do a hard reset (aka format) your phone which actually gets the things fixed. So being a phone, Nokia N9 is same in nature that you will want sometime to get it reset or hard reset whatever the reason could be.
If your phone is not working properly, you can reset some settings to their original values by using this method. “Restore settings” loads and saves the default settings or configuration of the Nokia N9 to its factory state without affecting user content, messages or contacts. for more extent “Restoring settings” will not deleted or change following content/data on your phone such as: Contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Documents, Music, Bookmarks, Accounts, Security codes or passwords.
To Restore Settings, do the following:
“Clear Device” is a new term I saw in Nokia N9. Previously Nokia has used different term for this “Delete data and restore” in Symbian^3 devices. This method is actually the “Hard Reset” we normally use when talking in general. You use this method when nothing else helps fixing the problem with your phone.
Note: To avoid any loss of your data you are highly recommended to take back up of your data and files prior to proceed with “Clear Device” method.
To Clear Device, do the following:
This process may take up to 15 minutes depending on the data stored in the phone. You may need to wait for the process to complete. The phone will switch off and then on again.
If you have already cleared your device without taking backup of the original factory content, pictures, music and videos or even the default set of wallpapers and now wondering about where to get those original media files. You can download the original N9 content and media from here and restore onto your N9.

Hey !
I've got a problem. Nokia Ovi store on my N9 stopped working. Everytime when I click download it says: ''Caution! Before you can continue the corrupted app must be deleted''. I click ''agree''. It starts downloading, but every god forsaken time the setup or/and download fails!
Every single time!
I've reset my N9 five times today and it just won't work! Even my e-mail stopped working
What should I do? Please help me ASAP =(

@Sonya Shah
Clear device actually formats the phone..
if it didn't help then you should take it to Nokia Care as this issue is not well known
Dude!! I had the same problem!! :D
I must have reaet my device for like 10 times. In my situation the problem was occurred because the device couldn't switch the dev-mode off.
So what I finally did was this.
1. Go to Nokia's website and search for the software called "software updater"
2. Download and install it on your computer
3. Connect your device to your computer
4. Open the Nokia Software Updater
5. Follow in the instructions showed on your computer
6. Reinstall the software on your N9
7. Wait for the process to finish!!DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR N9 DURING THE PROCESS OR YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PRECIOUS N9
8. Say hello to your "new" Nokia N9
All this takes about 20 minutes.
Please comment if you need any help.
Ps. Check out my videos on Youtube. My profile is MrGuitarrica :-)
