JL_Cmder (JavaLoader Commander) is a command line tool provided by BlackBerry. This java utility is used to easily display Device Info, event log, take a screenshot, wipe the handheld or reset it to factory conditions. Being a command line tool it is not very easy to operate. BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife, which is built upon the functionality of JL_Cmdr, is much easier to use due to its simple user interface. BBSAK lets you take screenshots, perform a factory reset, wipe a device, load an OS and more.
