Reseting Iphone

**n0n0_no** · 03-14-2011, 07:33 PM

hi, i just recently purchased a used iphone 4, and i wanted to reset the whole thing back to its factory settings and delete everything that was added on. The only way i can think of doing that is through itunes. So if i did reset the phone this way will the ios and bb remain the same or will it update?

No itll update to 4.3 do you have your shsh's saved and do you rely on an unlock

**n0n0_no** · 03-14-2011, 08:47 PM

ok, basically there is no way to setting it back to factory settings without updating either versions and bb? please take a look at this link that i came across, it seems like its the easiest way to clean everything out without an update

oh I thought you wanted a whole restore. well one way is to sync it with a different computer so it will erase your music and app library. the contacts would be manually I'm guessing.

I restored my Verizon Iphone back to 4.2.6 from jailbreak today (need to take in for service) but I still have the cracked apple on reboots. How do I get rid of this??

Please help!

The apple with the line? That is always there

I was tripping!!! Sorry thought it was a full uncracked apple when it was new.

**Stray** · 03-15-2011, 05:13 PM

oh... ok... no problem I guess

**JHH09** · 03-15-2011, 06:29 PM

Lol the quickest and easyest way to do this would be to go to setting-general-reset
Then hit "Erase All Content And Setting"

No do not hit that button if you are jailbroken

Why not?

You will get stuck in a boot loop if you do that when it has been jailbroken, so avoid doing that. I would say syncing with another computer like what has already been suggested.
