Sprint LG Rumor DeBug Menu Wipe

It seems that Sprint will be working overtime on a fix for the latest trouble with the LG Rumor. There is some code on the phone that will allow someone to wipe the whole phone, user data and firmware, leaving you with nothing but an expensive paperweight.

The access to the debug menu comes from a set of key presses during the phones boot up process. It is rumored that Sprint has temporarily stopped sales of the Rumor until a firmware update can be sent out, current users can expect an over-the-air update to correct the issue, in the meantime be careful who handles your phone.
