This is a small script i threw together a while back. I have incorporated in many of my ROMS, usually runs with a installation flag '-wipe'. The script does exactly as the title explains. It is SUPER.WIPE that does the most thorough wipe possible. This exceeds anything that CWM is capable of from the menu options. This will format and erase EVERYTHING on your /system, /data, /cache partions with EXT4 file system. It WILL NOT wipe SD CARD or EMMC... After it is complete with format and earse, it will align all disks partitions properly. This is a great tool to flash right before installing any new ROM on your device. No need to worry if you have wiped properly. Let the script do it for you! ENJOY! :D


Instructions on using DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE:

This is not ground breaking material. Just does a more thorough wipe and will align disk properly after formatting partitons.

"and will align disk properly after formatting partitions"

For my own curiosity, why is this important after wiping?

Well I would think you wouldn't. Your SD card and internal SD card aka emmc has all you pictures and other personal junk.. so we don't wipe those

He means your pics and music from internal or external sd card won't be gone.
Just use this when you are doing clean flash i used it and it works. Not to be an a** but i had idea about creating this wipe.zip but i suck at coding. Tried contacting someone where the idea came from never got pm back but You sir saved us. Thank You.:D

So is the 3e recovery wipe process in the fix force close thread still helpful to do too or does this give you the same result?

Also would it be even better to format sd cards along with flashing this? Or is there not really any additional benefit of that?

THis and 3e recovery is completely different. We have problem with CWM not wiping data correctly therefore file corruption happens. By formatting ur sdcard you will lose everything that's in there. No need to do format sd card. Just flash this when you are doing fresh rom installation.

    Sometimes it doesn't work too well for ics. I always dsw, then manually wipe and format after multiple times. That always does the trick.

    If the partition alignment for is "xx" bytes off. It will cause major performance issues. Etc...
