Is there a way to REALLY WIPE your device?
I bought the BB 8703e used and it still has the email accounts on them and even after I did a wipe device, it still has the email accounts of the previous owner.
Is there a way to really reformat this device? Or does anyone have any tips to get the email accounts out? |
1. Download and install Desktop Manager 4.2 from here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22 (Be sure that the BB is not connected during install.)
2. Download and install to your PC, the latest OS for your device from here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-...ry-device.html 3. Delete the file "vendor.xml" located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader. 4. On your PC, install JL_CMDER, located here: (http://www.blackberryforums.com/atta...der-v1.8.3.zip) Connect the device and use iJL_CMDER to wipe the device. Be sure that Desktop Manager isn't running when using JL_CMDER. When finished your device should display a 507 error. 5. Open Desktop Manager and run Application Loader. The Desktop Manager should then detect the device and load the new OS. That should give you a clean, out-of-the-box device. |
thanks...but at what point do i actually connect the BB to my computer? in step 5 you said connect it but before that nothing?
Also, how do I use JL_CMDER to wipe my device?' EDIT: Sorry I got stuck on step 4 but I found out that you click on JL_Cmder and then follow the screen. I clicked on JavaLoader.exe and it caused me confusion. I also clicked on Install.cmd and everything wiped out from what I unzipped from the JL_CMDER zip file...does that do anything? |

Application loader problem
What would I do if the application loader does not find the operating system. I tried to add it but comes up with an error. Thanks
|
did you delete the vendor.xml as described in step 3?
|
When I reinstalled the OS, I don't have a browser nor do I have an icon for "email settings"
Is there something I did wrong? |
Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table >Register Now....
|
Which one? There are a bunch of different selections...
There's Verizon [240] Verizon [71440] Verizon [4d440] Verizon [55c40] and A LOT more... |
doesn't matter which one....just do the register now.
|
It doesn't matter. Click the wheel and select Register now.
|
While it's connected to my computer?
|
Does this use the data service?
|
No...it doesn't need to be plugged in. make sure you have wireless data coverage and just Register now....
|
How much data does this use? I don't have a data package right now...
The reason I ask, is because I'm on the phone with the lady right now...and I'm wondering if she puts on the data package is it worth it, or do I just use the 44.99 and pro-rate that. |
no data plan? No browser, no setup internet mail, etc....sorry.
|
Well, you're right I don't really need that right now because I'm waiting on something to go through so I can get the Unlimited Data with Verizon for (44.99).
|
Once you get the data plan straightened out just do the Register Now. They may even push it to you but Register now will take care of it.
