How to Erase apple iphone

[Winifred]

Hi,

I want to erase my iphone but i dont know how to do it. is there any code like *#7370# which we use to format our nokia phone. or any software that can erase all data stored in your iphone ? I know Deleting some data on my iphone will only change the file's attributes or location. it will not permanently delete unless i format it .

Thank you

why you want to erase the iphone? stead of erasing a data what you can do is soft reset your iphone. this will store the original iphone settings. To reset the iPhone, press and hold both the sleep/wake button (on top of the iPhone) and the Home button (centered below the screen) for a few seconds. When you see the Apple logo, you can let go and the iPhone will start back up.

You can try hard reset on your iphone

1. Press the home button (the big circle below the screen) and the sleep wake button (the button on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Hold both buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, Ignore the "Slide to power off" and keep holding
3. The iPhone should now shutdown automatically - (fade to black)
4. Turn the iPhone back on by hitting the sleep/wake button.
5. You should now see the Apple logo, your iPhone is restarting and thus booting up.
6. You have completed a hard reset successfully.

To erase the data on your iphone. You must have apple firmware version 2.0 on your iphone or you go to itunes from apple store to update version. after upgrading to Version 2.0 go to iphone setting wher you will find the new option called ERASE ALL. this will delete all your personal data.

Note: Make sure that you save all your contacts and other important data before using this option.
