I have a question - what is the difference between "Factory Reset" and "Wipe Device"?

Cheers (and Happy New Year )

Thanks and the same to you. The difference is...

Wipe Device

ThumbWipe Device, is a tool used to completely remove everything on your device including the operating system, leaving your phone at a 507 error screen. This function can be used to restore a "bricked" blackberry. Please make sure to backup everything you need before running this feature!

Factory Reset

ThumbThe Factory Reset function is used by those who have an IT Policy put on there Blackberry via a BES Server. This function will remove the IT Policy from your device.

I completed the steps below.
1. BBSAK to backup the apps
2. DM to backup the data
3. Wipe with BBSAK
4. Load OS with BBSAK
5. Restore apps with BBSAK
6. Restore data with DM

In Options -> Device -> Application Management, the restored apps don't show up in the listing. They also don't show up in App World, they show as uninstalled. The apps show on the main screen and run fine, but I can't manage them App Management or App World unless I reinstall them. Is this normal with the "Restore Apps" feature?

Hello - have a Storm 9550 and used both desktop (XP) and laptop (W7-64) to backup my Storm. The app is hanging just after 100% progress is reached and freezes. Requires a kill through Task Manager. The backup looks complete but I only see backup.alx and not backup.jad. Is this a known issue?

This is the way our backup system works. You can uninstall individual apps with BBSAK. For best 3rd part restore, use the alx and restore with app loader while installing the new OS.

How many apps do you have installed? I thought we fixed this bug in a previous edition.

Thanks Mike - I have about 30 apps loaded. You have a great app here - hope this is just a bug. Would like to donate as well.

Restoring Apps.

Has anyone ever done an app restore using BBSAK?

I seem to get an app listed called BBSAK on my device and all of the modules are the actual restored apps (instead of them appearing individually in the Application list).

If I delete the BBSK app from my BB, all the restored apps are deleted as well.

Help?

Bold 9650; 5.0.0.975
Win7 64bit

Thanks.

Do you have a blackberry without a password or one with a password u know? If so then load BBSAK to get active buttons then swap and click wipe.

Thats also what happened to me. See post link below:

I needed to reinstall all my apps from App World and from BerryReview Store manually.
