How to erase a blackberry 8100 - how to delete all data

>>>>>>> .r7754

I had a problem, and spent some time looking for a solution. Since it was a pain to find out how to erase all my data (hard reset) on a Blackberry 8100 from t-mobile, I thought I would post the process here and save someone some time.

  1. In the device options, click Security Options.
  2. Click General Settings
  3. Press the Menu key.
  4. Click Wipe Handheld.
  5. Click Continue
  6. Type blackberry

Good luck!

    Thank you so much for this, I have been searching for days online, and through cingular. I was in the AT&T store today and 0 of 11 associates could tell me how to do it (2 hours later) I just left.

    BRAVO!!!

    Wow - thanks for the info. I need to exchange my Blackberry 8300 and was looking for a way to mass-delete everything. Works perfectly and is great for Mac users that don’t use the Desktop Manager.

    Hi, I wiped out my BB 8100 but now it is as though I have version 0.1 of the OS. How can I update the BB’s OS? I already tried using the desktop manager but nothing….
