The screen keeps flashing when I choose to erase all content and settings on my iPhone. Not a single piece of information was deleted when I forced to reboot the device manually. I even called the Apple Support Team but got no positive feedback on this topic. Is there any alternative to replace the default method for deleting my personal data permanently?
Is this a good question?

Factory reset and erase options don't work on jailbroken iPhones, so this is the reason why the default method is not working. I met the same problem with my old iPod Touch, however. finally fixed the problem by following this step by step tutorial:

It writes a set of random digits to the local disk to make sure data is not recoverable. Works on both normal and jailbroken iDevices.

If Micheal's method does not work. Use iTunes and iPhone in DFU mode.
Have no ideal on how to use iTunes in this purpose, anyway, thanks for the kindly input.

Well, If you want to completely eliminate all traces of data on your iPhone, iOS Data Wiper could be a good choice, it provides four erasing options to ensure all deleted data were overwritten and erased without the possibility of recovery by any practical software or hardware methods. In this post, we'll show you how to permanently erase everything from iPhone before selling.
