Wipe blackBerry Smartphones

Can anyone help me by explaining what exactly is a wipe and how is it useful?

There are two types of "wipes".  If you are talking about the security wipe options > Security Options > General settings, then it just erases the data user and 3rd party applications if you want while leaving the BONES.  It basically makes it "out of the box."

If you are referring to using javaloader or "JL_Cmder" to wipe the device which means remove everything, including the operating system.  We need to reload the operating system of the device after a javaloader wipe.

    Hello

    Everything you need to meet your exact application is here:

    However, it is unlikely that you have a virus. There are zero viruses documented for BBs. zero. However, regardless of the problem, a wipe and reload your operating system can be useful. You must also make sure that you are on the latest OS for your model of BB. You can see that different carriers download pages through this Portal:

  • Contacts of preservation for a "wipe" blackBerry Smartphones

    Having brought my 'old' unit into a new company, I want to assure you that my hundreds of existing contacts on the 8830 are not lost during erasing that is required for activation by the server of the company in the new company.  I used the Desktop Manager (version 4.7) to save the data to my 8830, so I now have a '.ipd' file on my computer.  Can someone tell me how to use this file to add my old contacts to new contacts that will be implemented after activation on my 8830?

    After activation, you open the ADDRESS BOOK and you go out under reconciliation to the ADDRESS BOOK wireless options.

    Then, connect to the DM, > restore > advanced and when given the option DM will find your last backup IPD file OR you might need access to the IPD file to show the right pair (except the RPI with a date in the name of the file, it must do this by default).

    Then, highlight the ADDRESS BOOK on the left and click the arrow to the right (to move that back up data to the device) and follow the prompts.

    Don't forget to reactivate activation wireless on your address book later.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com/

    The JVM 102 error occurs when one or more files COD, either from an application or the operating system itself, are damaged as a result an immediate stop of all processes in the BlackBerry Smartphone is generated, preventing the loading of the operating system boot sequence.

    The BlackBerry software should update the phone.

    Search and download your OS and everything above applies

    By sdgardne 

     

    However, here's what I propose...

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. (It's probably debatable given the errors you have... it is likely that your data are already parts of your device, which means that you must now rely on a backup you took before that happened.)

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    Based on your description, I would recommend a full reload of the operating system. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Congratulations! Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.

    Simply select the model of the device in the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.
