Can anyone tell me how to completely wipe the Operating System of my 8100 and reinstall it again as i'm having a few problems with it and want to do a clean install

Thanks in adavance

Download Jl_Cmder (It's in my sig) and wipe the device...

Everything OS included is gone in a flash

if you have any 3rd party apps or ota apps you don't want to lose i made a quick guide in windows how to save that stuff before you wipe...

you can find it at Kradest.com

Good advice form krad...

Once you wipe it with Jl_Cmder who will need Desktop Manager and the Handheld OS installed on the PC.. Connect the BB after it reboots (white screen) and open Desktop manager... Then Application Loader and install the OS...

This usually works for me http://www.blackberryforums.com/search.php

Thanks for the info guys, I did a search but couldn't find what was looking for, I was probably spelling it wrong

Getting hourglass now after reistalling the os ?

It will take a LONG time to boot... it's normal...

You're right, i actually just realized it, moderator can you delete my post? Again, sorry NOT my intention and i think this is actually my first unintended hijacked thread, lol.

I meant to PM him and not post it here.

sorry

It's all good!

We all have hijacked before with off topic stuff

Phew! thanks for this. i just put on .71 and its been loading for like 5 min lol. was ready to jump the gun and do somethin bout it.

Could take 10 to 15..... But this is just for the 1st boot, after that it boots normal....

Pfffttt!!!!

great. thnx :]

ps: is this for every OS install? or just the newer ones?

Success!

it loaded :]

i hope .71 fixed the standby issue where if u put it on standby (pearl), half the time a call came in.. i couldnt pick up because the phone wouldnt let me answer. was like the keys were locked.

Awesome!

hmm.. seems all my bookmarks and emails i had setup didnt transfer over. im assuming i have to set those up again?

If you have a previous backup, just restore them in Desktop Manager, if not you will need to add everything back....

ALWAYS a good idea to backup, especially if formatting a disk (which is *basically* what Jl_Cmder / javaloader) does....

ah yea. just got that. restoring the databases.

i was hesitant at first because i thought it would replace my entire new build i put in (.71), but its just restoring my old data :]

Thanks!

No problem, glad to be of some assistance!
