Blackberry noob looking for some info
- Brand new to blackberry's and loving it so far. Just got myself the new bold 9700 with t-mobile and have a couple of questions. I'm new to blackberries but I like fiddling with my new toys.
I'm interested in wiping the device and reloading the OS, I'm assuming that half the things on here are t-mobile added and I'd rather have it as clean as possible. I'm assuming I have to get it unlocked before it will accept anything but a T-Mobile released OS though, is this right?
I'm also a wanting info for returning it to current state. If I mess it up whatever as long as I can reload the OS if I dump t-mobile release onto it it should be back to how it was when I received it correct?
Basically I guess my question is "How do I reset my device to the setup before my carrier got their hands on it? And how do I put it back when I realize that was stupid?"
Thanks in advance!

Your provider will push lots of stuff. Can't be removed. Hide the unwanted stuff or move to a new folder and hide the folder.

The only thing you need to do to install a new OS, it's to delete vendor XML file, install the OS on the computer, and upgrade using Desktop menager.
Visit the treads for more info
Note: install a non-tmobile OS will not remove stuff from yout carrier. Those things are ''pushed'' in your device by the network...12-20-09 11:46 PMLike 0
