How can I wipe my storm if I cant see the screen? Im getting a replacement phone and need to wipe the one I have..
what kind of wipe do you want to do? just personal information, or do you have a leaked OS on it?
I had a leaked OS but I already downgraded to .75. I need to wipe personal info.
You can wipe it completely with a couple programs. And I know there's a way to wipe it from your device, but I don't know the process off hand.
I think in JL_Cmdr there is an option to Reset To Factory or something like that.
I know I can wipe it from the device but The screen is blank. I need to know how to wipe from computer.
is the screen blank, or the backlight went out. if you use JL i think it should erase your OS too. you can do that and then reinstall and dont install a back up.
It depends on which option you pick. One option will erase everything including the OS... One will erase all your info but leave the OS intact. To the OP, keep in mind in JL_Cmdr (if you choose to use it) there's an option that says Wipe Handheld. That's not the same as wiping the handheld from the device itself. That will completely erase everything on the phone including the OS. You want the option that goes something like Reset to Factory Settings.
Well the screen has some lines running up and down it but I cant see anything. I can still receive calls though. So JL_Cmdr
Ill look into it
Deleting everything on the entire device won't hurt anything either. When it gets sent back they will have to reload everything on to it anyway.
Another option would be to take the screen out of the new device and put it into the old device. Not hard at all. Only 6 screws and then pop off the connecting ribbon. Takes seriously 5 mins to have everything apart and back together.
Just peel up the overlay around the camera... pop off the bottom piece under the send/end buttons... take the back off and battery out.... boom you're good to go. Then undo the ribbon.
But most would be scared of this option.
Thanks to everybody for the help.
