hello guys

i jus recently bought a bb7230 and had it set up by vodafone for my email account but the problem is i can't recieve the service book everytime they send me 1 and its on gprs instead of GPRS, they have told me to delete all the info or the bb because the bb keeps info on it's first set-up but how do i do this?

How do I format it so its back to factory default, cause WIPE does not remove the application and my blackberry is crashing...

The application I want to remove dont even figure in the option - applications menu...

Need a way to restore to factory default with NO user data or Application data...

Locate a copy of "Javaloader" on these forums.
Download and unzip it.
Connect the BB, open a DOS prompt and type

javaloader -usb wipe

That will wipe out the OS and data completely. Nothing left at all. Then you have to completely reload the handheld operating system.

Need a way to restore to factory default with NO user data or Application data...Download JL_Cmder from the link in my signature. This will format the BlackBerry. No software, no OS, no nothing except an 505/507 error. Use the instructions provided HERE (http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871) to download the latest OS and reinstall it. When the application loader says its finished, the BlackBerry still has 15-30 minutes to go. In other words, be patient.

Huh? You opened up an 18 month old thread and wrote that.
Let's try again. In a complete sentence and without cursing. Please.
