[TOOL]smw6180 Superwipe

[smw6180]

Superwipe script for the Sprint HTC One.

Disclaimer: I've tested the hell out of this but I am not perfect. This should not cause any data loss aside from what's involved in a normal wipe. However you use this at your own risk.

What this script does:
This will wipe /data, /devlog, /cache, /system, /boot to prepare your phone for installation of a new ROM. It will also optimally format all of the above (except /data) for speed.

After MUCH testing and nuking of my internal storage (SD Card), I have now fixed this script so that no harm will come to any data on your internal storage. It will wipe everything else. As always I recommend backing things up (including external storage) before running any kind of wipe, whether it be within TWRP/Clockwork, this script, or any other script.

Please report any issues or errors to me and I'll fix them asap.

Edit:
Thanks to @tdhite for his new update-binary, I've finally gotten around to updating this. I can't test it anymore as I no longer have the Sprint version of the device, however the only change I made was the update-binary so it should be fine. As it says above, use at your own risk.

I have it downloaded.. I have not used a superwipe in quite a while.. Probably since 4g days.

King Format all or something like that.

I might need to update it. I don't have the phone yet and Viper may or may not have had an issue. So expect an update (at least to fix the text formatting which I'm told looks like hell).

What exactly is this for?

What exactly is this for?

"This script will wipe /boot /data /system /devlog /cache."

"This script will also optimally format the above partitions to achieve the best possible file system speeds."


very nice script....you only want to run this script b4 flashing a ROM

I'm removing the download for now. Viper has identified an issue...it won't hurt anything, but it's definitely not wiping data like it should be. I know why and I'll fix it, but I need to test it first so I don't accidentally wipe peoples' SD Cards.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I believe the HTC One doesn't have or support an SDCARD.

Id say its quite the issue if its wiping SD cards then. Mainly because it would have to be wiping something to think its wiping an sd.

Correct, to an extent. It doesn't have an external sd, but the phone still references your storage as sdcard. It resides in /data/media but is symlinked to /sdcard.

The issue with superwipe is that it normally could just wipe data on a fresh flash, but if you do that, good bye all your files. But Steve has a fix for it, I verified it. He'll get it going later today I'm sure

It doesn't wipe the SD card in its current form. It just doesn't fully work. I'm on it, as soon as UPS drops off my phone.

 

[smw6180]

Got the phone, it's unlocked, recovery on it...before I even flash a ROM I'm working on the superwipe script. Should have it fully functional in the next hour or so (2 minutes to fix the code, and 58 minutes to make it pretty.

 

[smw6180]

Script is fixed and the download link is active again. Thanks for your patience folks!

While flashing it hung on checking system. I let it sit for 50% of the battery life before I got worried and press and held the power button until the device booted back up

I've seen that happen (on the Evo 4G LTE) on rare occasions. I've never had it happen to me. From what other users have said in the past, reboot recovery and reflash works.

Thanks for this Steve. I remember you from the 3D. Nice work! :thumbup:

No problem.

Did one for the 4G LTE too, for what it's worth.

Nice! I couldn't afford to get the LTE, so I wasn't aware. Glad I waited for the ONE though, this device is absolutely amazing!

This just happened to me as well, hanging on checking system.. I have used the script previously with no issue. gonna try a reboot


Edit: reboot worked, script ran, not sure what happened
