2. Connect your Nokia 6131 device to your computer using a USB cable.

7. Your device should now be reset to its factory settings.
Method 3: Using a Recovery Image
If your Nokia 6131 device is brick (i.e. it won't turn on) or if you've installed a custom firmware, you may need to use a recovery image to restore your device to its factory settings. Here's how to do it:
1. Download the Nokia firmware for your device from the Nokia website.
2. Connect your Nokia 6131 device to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the firmware.

6. In recovery mode, select "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm your selection.
Note: Before using a recovery image, make sure you have enough knowledge on how to use it and that you are following the instructions correctly. Using a recovery image improperly can void your device's warranty or damage it permanently.
