    I'm considering doing a security wipe, and just want to make sure I understand what it will do before pressing the button.

    1. I'm not running the original os that came with my 8320 (4.5.0.81); I've upgraded to 4.5.0.174. Will the wipe do anything to the os? Such as, reverting to the original os (can't see how, but just checking)?

    2. Do os settings such as bookmarks, font prefs, etc get deleted too?

    3. Will it delete 3rd party prefs backup files, such as with quicklaunch?

    4. Will it delete 3rd party themes along with all the other 3rd party apps?

    Thanks

    1. I'm positive the OS will remain unchanged.
    2, 3, 4. I'm pretty sure you will lose these as well.

    Make a regular backup, as well as a third party backup (BBSAK, or 3rd party backup procedure here on CB) before doing the wipe.
