Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. I have Blackberry passport security wipe stuck at 99% of more than 2 weeks. Is there anything i can do to install the OS on it again so i can bypass this security wipe?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I read something similar... one moment...

Try doing a hard restet and re-attempting the wipe. After 2 weeks at 99%, you can safely say that there's an issue.
Try plugging you device into Link and reloading the OS.

This happened to me on a Z30 too, so I tried to reset the phone with the volume up and down keys. Still nothing.
Plugged the phone into my laptop and used BlackBerry Link to reload the software. Boom, fixed!

Use Blackberry Link and do it now.. I let mine go for 4 days and I had serious screen burn-in! It seems to be gone now, but I was in a panic when I saw it.

Two weeks? Are you mad!? Do a system restore then wipe again.

What's BlackBerry thinking when they decided that 'security wiping time' should be put on Guinness World Records...

You are very patient man...

Wait another month, maybe it'll finish.
As other members pointed rightly use the link to restore the OS.. I fixed this on my Z30 and it works for sure.

I've done countless security wipes on too many BB10 handsets to count. I've never had one take longer than an hour, if that. Never had one glitch out.

Actually, I was also having an impression before that it is a 'glitch' to certain devices. To finally settle my curiosity, I did security wipe my Passport - twice!
The first time, I deleted first all those apps / games I installed both from BlackBerry World, Appstore and Google Play before I security-wipe my device. Not sure about the exact time, but I believe it went normally i.e. within an hour, I managed to security-wipe my device.
The second time, I didn't delete (uninstalled) those apps and games. And it is already more than 12 hours since I started the wiping process and my Passport stuck at 99% and doing nothing - before I decided (yeah, call me an impatient guy) to use the link. I don't have a 'week' to spare for not having my Passport anyway.
So, either my device has 'glitch' too or BlackBerry made something in OS - for our Passport to act strangely...

Have been there too. 98% after 30 hours. Download autoloader os10.3 for BlackBerry Passport. Run the files, plug ur device.....15min done wipe. Hope it'll help u

OP I had same thing happen. Just plug it into USB to BlackBerry link and reinstall the OS and reformat, will take 10-15 mins and you're good to go

Use an autoloader to wipe it.

If you're wanting a clean start you could use SICMultiwipe tool which will wipe everything in seconds, then you can use an autoloader of your choice which will factory restore within 1-3 minutes.
Have done this everytime my phones memory gets too cluttered and it works like a charm :)

I realise my question is very close to others however here is my problem. I have been security wiping my classic for 3 days now and it won't get past 99%, I have now reset the wipe twice and am currently waiting for it to get back to 99 or hopefully 100% I tried plugging it in to my computer to use link however my computer doesn't seem to recognise it. no notifications that there is anything plugged in. Any ideas what to try next?
Keep pressing all the buttons altogether until you get it to say bb10-0015 error. Don't worry this is a good sign. Next, go to your PC or Mac and open blackberry link. Then connect your blackberry with a USB cable to the PC or Mac. Hold the power, both volume and middle button all at once until blackberry link recognizes your passport. Then select reload software. It will then go through the process of installing it.

Autoloader time!
Thank you so much It's resurrected and working great again.
Good advice, worked like a charm. Just did it this morning. Glad I found this thread!
