Hi Jon,
I'd never done a full OS wipe and load directly from Linux, so I figured
I'd give it a shot with a device I've reset before, under Windows,
to see how it went. I used a Blackberry 8700 with 4.5.0.180 OS.
I'm pleasantly surprised! Talk about success.
I first determined what was on the device to start with:
bjavaloader dir > dir.txt
I thought I might need the submodules as well (the -s switch) but I didn't.
I edited dir.txt until I just had a bare list of module names. I ended up
with 561 module names in a file named mod.txt. This might be a handy
feature to add to bjavaloader... just displaying the module names.
Then I pulled all the COD modules out of the device and saved them to disk:
mkdir beforewipe
cd beforewipe
bjavaloader save $(cat ../mod.txt)
This successfully saved all 561 modules.
Then came the wipe... I started with a factory reset:
bjavaloader resettofactory
This rebooted the device, the OS wiped my settings and data and came back
with the GUI. Then I wiped the device:
bjavaloader wipe
This took a couple reboots, the entire device was wiped, and I got the
usual "empty Blackberry" error code 507, with little icon in the middle.
Then I loaded all the COD files back in, all at once:
cd beforewipe
bjavaloader load *.cod
All modules loaded successfully, the device rebooted, and took a looooong
time to come back, which matched my experience under Windows.
I grabbed a fresh dir after this, and compared mod.txt module names.
They were the same.
And just to be paranoid, I extracted all the COD files one more time, and
compared them. They were all alike.
Looks like OS load *is* possible with Barry. :-)
