I have 7100g (cingular) and am having trouble with the Browser (most likley due to the ammound of crap I have loaded on it). Does anyone know of a way to blow a new Image (factory) to the 7100?

A multiple step process...

1) Back up your BlackBerry
2) Download the latest Desktop Manager (from www.blackberry.com) and the latest Cingular handheld code for the 7100g (Cingular's web site points you to the appropriate RIM download area)
3) Get a copy of "Javaloader" - it is downloadable from several threads here; search for it
4) Connect the BB (shut down Desktop Manager). Open a DOS prompt, go to where you installed Javaloader and type

javaloader -usb wipe

That will completely wipe out the BB. It will now show a box with a 507 in it. That means no OS.

5) Execute the downloaded Desktop Manager AND Handheld OS code to install them

6) Connect the BB and start Desktop Manager - the reload can take up to 20 minutes

7) Restore the data backed up earlier.
