There is such a thing as a hard reset it will erase everything in the phone including contacts and put it back to factory defaults. Then you have to do a backup from the desktop.

Ahhh..you wanted to do a "wipe handset"
Option > Security Options > General Settings > Menu > Wipe Handset
i was wondering about this too... so if i have a leaked OS on the storm, do i have to bring it to verizon OS before doing a wipe, or if I do it with the leaked OS, once i do the wipe will it still b running with the leaked OS or will it reset to official OS from Verizon? Also, if i back up just my contacts through DM, after i do the wipe, i'll be able to reinstall all the contacts?
No you don't have to downgrade the software in order to do the wipehandheld. Yes you will be able to reinstall all the contacts as long as you back them all up first.

If you do a "wipe handset" it just erase all your contacts/apps that is on the phone. It DOES NOT revert back to the original .75 OS. The leak OS is still there.
Now if you wanna do a complete wipe of the phone..OS and all..then you gotta use JL Cmder..here's the instructions
ok guys, here's my prob now... I did the "wipe handset" and before doing so i did back up the phone, but now when i connect it to DM, the phone isn't being recognized. On the DM, where it's suppose to show the pin it has it as none.
Also on the phone i went to Options --> Security Options --> General Setting and in the area where it says "services:" it's stating "*** no services ***" any clue how to fix this? I'm able to make and receive calls, am receiving e-mails.
I've been messing around with it for 1/2hr and haven't figured out the problem
Do a Diagnostics Test on your phone..just to make sure things are running correctly
Options>Mobile Network>BB Key>Diagnostics Test>BB key> Run
(Thanks pk)
O wow, that's awesome...didn't know we could do that. THis is my first BB, had it since dec, so i'm still learning new things with BB. **BTW, everything came out as "YES" during the test. THanks
Also, q'stion... in the Option>Mobile Network can i change the "Network Technology" from Global (default) to 1XEV, or should i leave it as is?
It will save a little bit of battery if you change it to 1xEV.
Basically 1xEV is Verizon's CDMA network. The only reason you would have it on global is to allow the phone to be able to roam on a GSM network if there is no CDMA network available. So, if you are in the States, you can just leave it on 1xEV.
okay, im confused on two different things,
i have a unlocked blackberry storm (verizon).
If i do either a wipe-handset or a master reset would that lock back the sim card slot therefore would not be able to use my At&t with the Blackberry storm?
