For those of you who tried to do the Android mod and failed and now your computer won't recognize your playbook, or for any other reason you want to factory re-install playbook OS on your device.... This is not the security wipe, it is an actual full reinstall of the OS.

Restoring the PB to factory default.



1. Open PB Desktop Manager

2. Connect PB to PC

3. Once connection is established go to "Help" should show no updates

4. Hard restart PB pressing power button and select "restart"

5. Once restart has begun Desktop Manager will display a popup window "option to Update" select update

6. This will take a long time approximate 15-20 minutes while the Original OS is downloading from RIM server

7. Follow on screen instruction at end



The original factory install will have been restored (all images, videos original games etc) . You need to re-initialize the PB from the start, just as if you just got it home from your store purchase.



NOTE: a security wipe does not restore the PB to factory Original.
