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
Next time it hangs, if someone could get me a copy of /tmp/recovery.log so I can take a look, it would be helpful to diagnose. I still haven't had it happen and given my work on ViperROM I'm reasonably certain I've wiped my phone more often than most. :)

Finally got a lock up.

Code:
Checking /system partition...
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Best part is that at that point in the script it's supposed to be finding errors...and correcting them. So basically I have no idea what causes that. However, rebooting back into recovery and re-running it works immediately. I'm GUESSING that it's just having an issue with the filesystem check dying on a bad inode instead of fixing it. But there isn't enough of an in-depth log for me to know for sure. I'll research it and if I find a fix I'll post it. Otherwise just reboot recovery and try it again. Should be a fairly rare occurrence. (It is for me anyhow. That's the first time I've seen it!)

I'll have a few you , It seems to hang about every time i use it the first time around. The log will be located in recovery?

I posted its location. /tmp/recovery.log

Code:
adb shell cp /tmp/recovery.log /sdcard/
That command will copy it to your SD card so it'll survive a reboot.

I already looked at the issue (though more logs for confirmation are always good) and it looks to just 'hang' for no reason. But it's not everyone, nor all the time. Might have something to do with certain formatting options that some ROM's come with.

Hey man, just wanted to thank you for the Superwipe script. Worked perfectly when I installed the latest viperROM. I don't know what you did under the hood regarding optimizations, but I could swear that nandroiding everything is MUCH faster with TWRP (yeah, I obsessively nandroid: before new ROM and after new install before I add mods of any sort).

I'd give another thanks to the original post, but I already did. So consider this another thank you.

Does this script handle the issue with multiple profile folders (data/0/0/0/0/etc)? How can it if it is not blowing away the internal storage? Last I knew coming from a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, you had to format the SD card to keep this from happening. I must be missing something here: could someone clarify for me?

Nope. If you're coming from anything but another sense rom you'll have to do some maintenance first. I might think about flashing cm10 and trying to make it work, but as of now it's just sense /stock

I'll look into clearing profiles to butI don't use them so it's not high on my list.
