Best way to wipe phone?

I plan on returning my phone to Radio Shack and wait out for the next wave of devices. What is the best way to wipe the phone and memory card clean since doing various rom installs and backups?

Are you rooted? If so Flash into recovery and WIPE all areas allowed

Yes. Perhaps after wipe it would be a good idea to flash stock then?

Thank you. The guy at the store was trying to tell me I was pressing too hard and that's why the light was coming through.

So I just found out that Radio Shack has my replacement in stock. I just updated my phone to OMJ's last rom with radio and WiMax update. If I just flash the stock rom will that work? If not I'll just return it as is but wiped.

I would recommend using a soft lint free cloth. I always use a right to left motion but you may prefer a left to right motion as you may be a switch hitter. I would be care full with the memory card maybe a q tip? No solvent. You can moisten the cloth if you need.

Sorry I am corny and could not restrain myself this time!

Why not just keep your SD card, and let them keep the new one?

If they would permit me to do that I gladly would.
