Heyho dear people,

I finally got a n900 too, my first smartphone I am very happy with it


But it isn't new. So there are things on n900 from the previous owner.

So I want to clear it, because maybe he left for me some logger or something else unusually.

HOW can I format the n900. Is flashing the way to go?
DO I really need to flash n900 or do I have a other option?

And when I use to flash, which condition n900 will be ??


greetings
hardo

Carefully read the instructions and you'll be good to go.

And yes, flashing is the reliable way of getting rid of previous owner data.

Congrats with your purchase!

This is what I usually recommend. Sections 1 to 5.

You can use any of the "latest" ones (marked latest version).
I normally use UK but if your not certain, go Global.
