Good call...

Testing procedure? Run the command:
bjavaloader wipe
If your device resets and shows a JVM error icon, congratulations your
device is wiped! :)
It helps to have an extra handheld laying around to test this with. I
didn't bother to restore user data, so here is the procedure I used to
wipe a device and reload the OS.
You need to locate the exact Device Software bundle for your device.
For example if your device has 4.5.0.102 (2.7.0.85) then make sure the
package you download has that same version number. This can usually be
retrieved from the support section on your carriers website.
You'll have to get this package extracted. You can use a Windows PC,
and the files will be installed under:
c:\program files\common files\research in motion\shared\loader files
Hint: wine comes with a builtin msiexec tool which can extract windows
installer packages too.
Save the list of cod files already on the device:
bjavaloader dir | grep -v '0x' |\
sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/[ \t]*$/.cod/' >list.txt
Wipe:
bjavaloader wipe
Reload cod files:
bjavaloader load `cat list.txt`
The device I am using is an 8800 and it took at least 10 minutes for it
to reboot after the cod files where finished loading. And then a JVM
error was displayed. After another reset the device was working fine.
I suspect the JVM error has to do with the device waiting for a
connections from the host computer which would in turn restore data?
I'm not 100% sure.
