Thank you so much for this!!! I just tried it and it worked great.

I think this will save people a lot of trouble since cwm hasn't been doing a proper job of wiping data.

I wish we could isolate a check for the underlying issue. If someone knowledgeable could put together an app that checks to see if your rom is properly installed (check a specific notorious FC maybe) we would all owe them a great deal for the peace of mind.

I think its more of a "leftover" data thing with cwm only wipe. Yes u could get a 'bad flash', but it doesn't happen often. (In my experience)

Check md5 when possible before flash.

Ruh roh, some new problem for me.

1) I formatted the internal SD in Win7 with 64kb allocation size instead of the normal 32kb.

2) Installed CM7 and didn't like it.

3) Used darkside ROM cleaner for the first time ever and some kernel cleaner.

4) Installed CocaCola ROM and installed a few apps, rebooted a few times. Left it alone for 30 minutes and came back to this error on it:

"system uids inconsistent" and then got multiple force closures.

:eek:

Have since formatted everything manually and installed a new ROM which is going great after twelve hours.

As stated in the description, yes it will. But just for your peace of mind I'll let you know that I'm with Rogers and I've used this script successfully, several times ;-)

    :: DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE ::

    ..A DARKSIDE DEVELOPMENT..


    My Original thread is found [HERE]


    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:

    * WILL NOT WIPE SD CARD OR EMMC *

    IMMEDIATELY BEFORE FLASHING ROM OF YOU CHOICE, DO THE FOLLOWING...

    1. Place on ROOT of your SD card.
    2. Boot into Recovery Mode
    3. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!
    4. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE
    5. Stay inside recovery
    6. Flash desired ROM.
    7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...
    8. Done!

    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.

    "and will align disk properly after formatting partitions"

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


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