No, no, no... I'm not trying to 'lure' you again ;-p. I guess this is what I get, if I keep on tricking on you guys..., but seriously, this one is real & serious!I know plenty of you are anxiously waiting for the new iPhone 2.0, and probably you’re thinking to sell your current iPhone before it becomes obsolete after June. Usually before selling our mobile phones, we used to erase all of the data inside. And for some iPhone owners, they often make use the ‘Restore’ option in iTunes to cut short the deleting process. What most of them don’t know is, that the aforementioned ‘Restore’ operation does not delete any personal data such as emails, contacts, etc. from the iPhone!
Here’s the exact report came from Jonathan “NerveGas” Zdziarski, iPhone hacker and author of the “iPhone Open Application Development” and an iPhone Forensics Manual for Law Enforcement: “This means that when you do a restore through iTunes, it is only the equivalent of performing a ‘Quick Format’ on your iPhone. All of the personal information that was sitting on the device prior to the restore is still accessible in the unallocated blocks of the iPhone’s NAND memory.”
According to
iPhone Atlas who found this, the best method to wipe clean the personal data and informations from your iPhone; is by manually delete one by one all of them. How’s that sounds, do you still wish to sell your iPhone 1.0 prior buying the 2.0? Oh, I’m sure such trivial road block won’t stop you; right? ;-)[blogged with my Treo 750v]
