hey

my battery is at like 45%
can i run this wiper while the phone is charging?
or should i just wait?

Волк · Mar 21, 2012

if you have it on the charger, you're fine. It has a constant power source, and even if it were on USB connection as the charging source, there is so little activity on the phone as compared to normal operation I see no reason to worry. Run it, set it down and don't look at it, lol. Like I said, it made me paranoid, and I'm the one who researched and wrote this thing, lol.

Thank you
running now

In Russian it's Волк, to convert it to the English alphabet, it would be spelled Volk, Some people didnt' know what to say so started to call me Bork and Bonk. I'm kinda particular about my name, so I figured it was about time I added some sort of a clarification.

And I'm glad it worked well for you.

I see..so Thanks Volk..

Awesome work Volk!
took me about 10 - 15 min
thanks again

Amazing work! This is a great tool, I heard of complete rewrites on SD memory but could have never thought of it being implemented to Android partitions as well. I hope that you plan on maybe creating a universal android tool (for most android phones) so that my other devices can enjoy the same

. Anyways I love this and honor your teams work here.

Thanks guys. There is no way to create a universal tool. This script goes for the actual partition itself, versus a mount point. I'm not even sure if I could point this at a mount point and have it even run. The main benefit of this is that it operates at such a low level. Until I did tons of reading did I appreciate what I stumbled upon.

I you have another phone you would like to see it ported to, let me know. I have alot going on and I'm actually trying to finalize the script so it's well, final and there is nothing more I can do with it, but I respond to support.

So from what I understand the script is directed at a partition then runs its magic... So if a script meant to read the partition layout was created that would make a txt with the device's partition layout then saved somewhere where the nullifier could read it and then run? Just an idea since you stated previously that for a HTC Sensation port you needed CWM logs.. Either way don't sweat it, the main function of the script is complete and work marvelously. Other than adding user preferences(1 wipe or 2) its close to done I believe.

but thanks for listening to your users & thanks again for the work being put into this.

I've used this a couple of times. Works good and hope you figure out the fix so you don't have to manually format cache. But till then, may I suggest you add the 'format cache' reminder to the END of the process? Because it shows up during the middle and can easily be missed by the scrolling of later steps.

Also, I noticed that the progress meter does not move at all, so especially during the long data wipes you have no idea if its frozen or what. If you can't get the progress meter to actually increment then if possible maybe output a '.' or something on the screens so we know its still working.

All these are just humble requests, thanks for creating and sharing the tool.

I know the progress bar is something he's been working on. I can tell you from personal experience that getting a good progress bar on a script can be a pain

Ha ha, good try, there's something called exchange. I can do the port but I need to know what the partition numbers are. So go get me a CWM log since that's easiest, and give me the partition info, or else I nullify your face! Lol.

As far as user options, I don't know that CWM is able to be interactive. I should have time at work later to work on the script so if I so, I should be able to quickly remove the second wipe.

What's the difference/benefits with writing all 00's or writing all FF's?

Problem is that once all the cells have been written with 0s, they must be erased "1s or FF as its sometimes referred to" a block at a time in order to prepare it for new data. This usually causes slow writes as the memory controller must read the remaining data on the block, erase the entire block, re-write the other data and the data that was meant to be changed. By formatting flash memory with 0s, you guarantee that any new data written will require that each block of flash will need to be erased again before anything new is written.. DD was originally designed for spinning disks where 0s are written to "blank" a drive as well as the ability to write random data to prevent retrieving data from magnetic media.

Волк · Mar 21, 2012

I thought you said there was a problem. If anything, you just said why this is good. Once the 0's are deleted there would be no slow r/w times, and since formatting marks the blocks as empty, how is it that they now need to be erased? And even if they have to be deleted by some other means, that's just one R/W cycle. No one has complained of slow R/W times, just the opposite.

rosevilletoyota · Mar 22, 2012

There is nothing wrong with this wipe tool. manually formatting cache is no big deal but if you fix that I see nothing else. People are losing focus on what this app is a Utility Tool. As for Wearing the flash drive out, impossible! Graphic are just eye candy.

Thanks Bonk for all you do ( Did I get the name right )

Just saw you live in SF? I will buy you a drink next time Im in town. I live in Roseville but Parents live in Marin.

Волк · Mar 22, 2012

Just to quickly touch bases on development, I'm close to a final build. Just need to iron a couple of things out and verify /cache is being formatted now. Hopefully tomorrow evening I'll be able to release.

Edit, I also have wifi issues at home today, it's down and I get 2g reception in my building, so browsing and posting is tricky.

For now, what is in the OP is the latest.

You can make cwm interactive. Someone who makes a ROM in the HD2 (I think the high end ROM?) has it to where you can set options while it's flashing.

It'll ask what kernel you want and launcher you want and other neat options like that.

If I remember correctly, it's the high end ROM by dorimanx.

You can use aroma installer to do that.
