The procedure of getting back the OVI Store is little bit technical and time consuming .
Keep in mind,you have to keep the following stuff ready before you start !
1. Nokia Qt Package from wiki.forum.nokia (consist Nokia Qt 4.6 and Nokia Qt 4.7) – do a free download

Have you updated your Nokia N8′s firmware to PR1.1 – the latest release ,if not please do it,that automatically brings you OVI store back(no need to follow this hard steps) and the same problem will not happen again(as Nokia realized the problem and solved in in the latest firmware ) ! Cheers !

Hey Guys,
I am using Nokia E7-00 and I did the same mistake of hard resetting the phone n as a result “ovi Store” stopped working since it uses QT to get started n due to the reset QT was deleted. So I tried following the above mentioned steps, though I didnt go to all of them as the basic QT Package didnt get installed on my PC, but still, OVI store is now working on my phone.
The given steps works…. Thanks a Lot…!!!

i have qt sdk but where do i find qt 4.7 and 4.6.
can u please send me the link.

Thanks for the info. For my E7-00, it was a little different as I did not install QtMobility. I did the following:
1. On phone: restore factory settings
2. On PC: download Qt SDK from the wiki at http://www.developer.nokia.com
3. Qt SDK (takes loooooong time!)
4. Connect phone to PC
5. On PC: Start / QtSDK /Qt473 / “install Qt473 for S^3 on device”
6. … “install QtWebKit for Qt473 for S^3 on device”
7. Disconnect phone from PC
8. On E7, start OviStore, follow installation instructions.
9. Done!
Another way is go to http://www.swf2go.com/downloads/qt/
where you can download the two required files to run directly on you E7 instead of downloading the SDK:
- qt_473.sis
- qtwebkit_473.sis
Don’t know why, but it did not work for me. Perhaps it was b’cos it was not from a fresh reset (I had tried many other things before running the 2 .sis files). Good luck!
