The scrollwheel on my 8700g broke off and into my blackberry. Just got my replacement one today and before shipping off the busted one, I want to wipe the memory clean, but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

Do you have a password set on the device? If so, let it lock and then put in the password wrong 10 times in a row. That'll wipe all the data.

If that doesn't work you may want to use JL_Cmder to remove the OS and all the data. It's in my sig.

Ooohhh...Good call. Forgot about that one.

Nope. Don't have a password set. Lemme give that app a shot.

The device will have no OS and should display a circle with 3 icons and error 507.

Having problems installing the app. Does it not install on Win ME?

Also if your on a BES you can send out a lock and wipe device.

Any luck with the app

No kidding?!? I might have to try that. What about using Desktop Manager, and then going to Backup and Restore, Advanced, and then deleting all the Device Databases? Is this the same thing?

Edit: Actually it may, I'm not sure. I've never tried it that way before

Have T-Mobile and no BES. Still can't get the app to install either. I just went the way of using the Desktop Manager to erase all the various databases on my 8700g. Can't seem to think of any other way to do this.
