[TOOL]smw6180 Superwipe

[steal25]

@smw6180 superwipe is failing when using TWRP 2.6.3.4. any chance this could be updated?

not sure if smw has this device any longer, so heres a modified super wipe all i did was remove the

assert(
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7wls"
);

from the script.

let me know if it works.

getprop no longer works on the updated twrp so be careful not to flash this on any other device, theres no check to stop it from wiping the wrong partitions on a different then the sprint htc one. when i get a chance ill see whats needed for that and add it back in.

modified superwipe for the sprint htc one compatible with twrp 2.6.3.4

. . . getprop no longer works on the updated twrp

That's not the issue -- of course getprop works or *no* flash could realistically work, much less the kernel booting things cleanly. The updater-binary in the flash is woefully out of date and needs to be upgraded in order for newer recoveries to use it. Google changed the way getprop works in recent code bases so breaks old update-binaries. Just update the binary and it should be fine. I'd really shy from removing getprop calls as a work-around, but to each his own.

I'll take a look at it when I have some time. Hopefully in the next week or so. Work has been insane.

No worries brother, I just built a brand-spanking new updater-binary from the sources that is fully compatible with the new recovery. I'll post it up to my goo.im acct, and also make sure my TWRP thread references it. The change to getprop was arguably the stupidest thing Google could possibly do. TWRP 2.6.3.4 is built on the 4.4 android code foundation, not 4.3. To me, everyone is gonna need a new updater-binary, so rather than make everyone hunt, I just build the [email protected]#[email protected]#$'ing thing so we all have one around here. I'll maintain it too, so we don't end up in this ridiculous mess ever again.

[Update:] See this thread post for a TWRP2 2.6.3.4 (i.e., android 4.4) compatible updater-binary. Look for the "Updater Binary" section for the download.

Do I have to allocate files before running this so it doesn't get deleted?.

I dont have a pc readily available, but I've got different roms to try and different nandroids made.
Where do I transfer files to?

This is a good solution for non-external sd card devices

Thanks.
I took the risk works wonderfully.
The search is on for a Rom now!

Great rom, a updated version is getting released real soon. Here is how it looks with inversion (MUCH easier on the eyes) and blue theme (for status bar icons/color I'm using xposed mods)

Edit: I forgot to mention the amazing kernel.

Updated first post with smw6180_Superwipe-sprint-TWRP2.zip which should now work for all TWRP2 versions. Thanks @tdhite.

Sorry it took so long to get to this folks. Work's been nuts.
