*WARNING! I Am Not Responsible For Anything That Happens To Your Device*

** PLEASE BE AWARE! THIS SCRIPT IS FOR "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II" WILL ALSO WORK ON "AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket" ONLY! IF YOU FLASH THIS ON ANY OTHER DEVICE YOU MIGHT HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST IF ANY OTHER QUESTIONS **

:: DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE ::

:: DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE ::

..A DARKSIDE DEVELOPMENT..

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!

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!

"so that is the reason for the darkside.cache.wipe... because you cant wipe the cache in recovery... recovery as in CWM right? except through script like in your Darkside.cache.wipe?" (Quote from @Rushing)

ONLY USE THIS IF YOU NEED TO WIPE CACHE'S OR FIX PERMISSIONS IN CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY. THIS IS TO BE FLASHED IN RECOVERY! This replaces the need for using the broken built in CWM recovery functions. The DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE script will wipe both the /cache partition and the dalvik cache. After its has completed the wipe, it will then fix permissions (the correct way). This should hopefully fix that damn ICS reboot hang issue once and for all.

** PLEASE respect my work and ask my permission before posting mirrors or using any parts **

you underestimate the power of the DARKSIDE

This is awesome, I saw this in some of your ROMs and wished I could use it with other ROMs. My wish was granted. Thank you!

skadude66 · Feb 3, 2012

Thanks for this! One question though: What is the benefit of formatting to ext4, compared to what it is formatted as by default?

Hi,

Seems like a great tool. I have a suggestion. When posting such tools that aren't device-specific and work on all (or a majority of) Android devices, please consider posting them in the appropriate Android Development and Hacking forums (should be either Android Software and Hacking General or Android Software Development in this case), rather than device-specific forums. Once posted there, you can then make a post here as well with a brief description of the tool and provide the link to the main post in the appropriate section.

This way, the tool will get more exposure, plus it'll make things a little less confusing for the new users who might think the tool is specific only to that device in question.

Well, that's my two cents. Keep up the great work! =)

Different devices have different partition mappings so one tool will NOT work for all devices .......... sorry but you are incorrect in telling him to post in a general forum.

IE
Mmcblk2 might be /boot on one device, or /recovery on another and /system on yet another.

Wiping a recovery partition accidently could cause bricks ....

PS
Awesome tool bro. Ill use it for sure
