User Installed Applications

Hello

I am trying to restore my Blackberry 9780 to its factory settings.

I went to Security Wipe, but the option "User Installed Applications" is disabled (faded) and i cannot select it. I can only select "Emails" and "Media Card".

How can i select this? I really need to remove everything on the phone. Is there another way or how can i fix this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You can wipe the device using BBSAK, then reinstall the OS to your BB.

This way, you will have a brand new 9780 again :D

what is the process exactly using this BBSAK? and from where do i download the OS?

Sorry but i dont know the process.

1) Download BBSAK 1.9.1

2) Run BBSAK then click on WIPE DEVICE, when asked to enter a password, leave it blank incase you don't have a password on your device.

3) Wait for a few seconds till you get the confirmation that it was done.

4) Now your device has no operating system and you should see a white screen on the BB

5) Download OS 6.0.0.480= Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

6) Install the *.exe file you just downloaded.

7) Navigate to Computer >>> C: >>> Program Files >>> Common Files >>> Research in Motion >>> Apploader

OR to Computer >>> C: >>> Program Files (x86) >>> Common Files >>> Research in Motion >>> Apploader (if you have a 64-Bit Windows Operating System)

8) Delete the file named vendor.xml

9) Connect your BlackBerry through the USB port

10) Run loader.exe from that same folder then proceed to installing your OS.

11) Follow the on-screen instructions and enjoy. (Incase you were given 2 choices whether to leave the applications intact or to downgrade them to the original versions, choose the 2nd option which is to downgrade them, this will ensure you have a completely fresh installation)

Thank you very much for the very informative response!

Using Desktop Manager is a lot simpler thou... As far as removing apps goes.
