How To Do Security Wipe on Blackberry 9700

We perform factory resets, formats or security wipes to our mobile devices whenever we encounter problems, shaky performance or simply to clean the phone system. Before doing the security wipe, better backup the important files and contacts from your phone and when you're good to go, here's how to do it on the Blackberry 9700:



1. Press the Blackberry Menu Button , select Open Tray then navigate and select the Options icon

2. In the Options screen, scroll down to Security then select Security Wipe

3. In the next screen, you'll be asked what data objects you want to erase. Just tick the check box of what ever you'll be wiping out. In this case, I just want to erase emails, messages and contacts. You'll need to also key in the word "blackberry" as added confirmation & security before hitting the Wipe Data button.

4. This is how it looks like while the security wipe is underway. When it's done , your phone will just reboot. Wait for it to finish as it may ask you some minor initial setup configurations since you're now starting from a fresh system. 

You're done basically. Just an additional thing would be is that if you want to transfer contacts from your SIM card to your phone if you did the security wipe with a SIM module inside.
