[Request completed.] Mega wipe, super wipe and simple wipe.

[ForeverSupra]

This script is only for the international SIII. This would save so much time if someone could make it work on our phones. Any takers?

EDIT: Thanks Mastamoon.

Megawipe: Use this zip to completely format your phone. It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work.It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!
SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts.It deletes the Data Folders and Cache partitions of your internal memory.
Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition, Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache. It will delete everything on your Internal SDcard.
SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests a Simple Cache and Dalvik wipe. You can use it to clear the said partitions before updating to a newer version of your ROM. Also, You can use it before you have flash a new ROM.

thread cleaned. To those that wish to flame do it else where. To the OP... searching for the answer and/or doing it yourself would be my suggestion. Bashing people for their responses is not the best way to get the answer you are looking for. Consider this everyone's warning in this thread. Infractions will be handed out next.

I looked at this and thought...


CWM has these options.


And even to make this would require having to navigate to the ZIP file anyways.
Which in turns will compromise the time it would have taken.
I looked at the script for it and it looks like it can be made for any phone. There was an option that made it GT specific.

Neat idea but i dont see a true need for something that can already be done elsewhere.

Here, I modified the script to allow it to work on our phones. Just changed the check for the phone model. I tried the Simple Wipe on my phone, worked fine so I expect the others to work also. Just didn't want to test.

Enjoy

What's the difference between them all? I assume the simple is dalvic and cache. What's the mega? Wipe sd cards too?

Perfect example why scripts like these will never be on my phone. And why these shouldn't even be made, too many accidents can happen.

 

[mastamoon]

Why would anybody flash something with the word wipe in it without knowing exactly what it does. User error. Like people who blame guns for idiots killing each other.

Cant dumb down everything in this world if you cant read the OP you should be using a Jitterbug.

I'm not new to android there pal, I took a risk by testing this and got burned. But **** put up a warning dude, not just a link to another thread. My internet was on and off so I just tested it because that page wouldn't load. So it was human error as well as a lack of explanation....so get off your high horse buddy. Those scripts should be taken down and I shouldn't have been so lazy as to try them. But once again op, add a friggen description/ warning. I test for devs all the time but warnings tend to be spelled out. I never once blamed you but was mad I lost all my pics. My response was solely to be a warning to others. Not aimed at you.

So your not "new to android" but just flash a random zip without knowing what it will do? A zip that has WIPE as part of its name? I hope as a long time android user, you at least had a backup?

And I ask you kindly to leave my horse out of this.. he hasn't gotten high a day in his life!

Haha I like that last part. And no I was dumb for a split second and didn't have a backup. I figured those wipes were like what a dev made for the rezound which would just wipe data cache and dalvik in the phone and not touch the storage. It would wipe like ten times. Purely user error. But op please add some form of warning.

In no way was I trying to attack either you mast or the op. I was very angry at myself and vented here. But a bold faced warning should be added so someone else isn't as dumb as I was.

The Simple Wipe zip does just that.. just a cache wipe. You just picked the wrong zip to experiment with. :good:

Don't feel bad, there is always 1 of you guys in every thread.

OP, please add a warning to RTFM or something.

Just to confirm before I flash, SUPER_WIPE will NOT wipe my internal SD card or my external one, just the DATA partition and other necessary partitions for flashing roms, correct? Also, what is in the data partition, data for your apps?

 

[ForeverSupra]

Thanks Mastamoon. Updated OP.

Edit: Weird to see this thread resurrected, lol.

 

[SilentMODE]

can you please explain how to use it ?

 

[mastamoon]

You pick which level of wipe you are looking for, download the appropriate zip and flash in recovery.

Hey Mastamoon, I looked through the thread and was wondering the same question as the above post. Can you confirm if super wipe will nuke the s3's internal/eternal sdcards?
