correct. Using superwipeG2+ will wipe and also wipe efs data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kokoskokis544:
Will this tool work on the vision safely? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Yes. It is.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Amazing Larry/Stevo,

Thanks for taking the time for making this. This is easy to use and useful. I see you constantly making scripts and always helping out people in need and treating us with respect. You get criticized for contributing by people who either know nothing about android or that won't contribute. Keep doing what you're doing, XDA needs more selfless people like you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
As of right now no the recovery doesn't accually wipe the ext, I checked some time back. Gparted is the best option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cesarbric:
Really don't see a reason for partitioning the sdcard, that was mostly for old devices like the G1, with not enough space for apps, there is plenty of room in the G2 for all the system files plus many apps.

@amazinglarry thanks for the script it does make it a lot easier when it comes to switch roms, keep it up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheRomMistress:
I WILL NOT tolerate rude comments towards other members in this fora. Keep on topic or I will be issuing infractions.

​
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
I thought it used to wipe the ext. I remember when scotty2 finally went ahead and installed cm , he lost all the files he was working, from his ext.

Eitherway, thanks for the update Larry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I'm not going to add an option to wipe sdext, if you use one of the very few roms that use it, follow the instructions set forth by the rom cook.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
this worked beautifully as described and took care of a BT issue I was having... thanks OP, will donate ASAP!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
If I'm basically trying to correct my GPS issues on cm7, which file should I flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
If you just want to try the gps fix the third zip (vision_wipe_efs.zip) is all that is necessary, no backup is required but as always recommended. I had guhl test the binary in recovery and asked his permission to build the flashable zip around it. Anyone who has gotten a fix for their gps using this tool should make sure to find guhl and give him a "thanks" I'll find a source thread for the efs wipe so people can do just that.

There shouldn't be any ill effect from wiping the efs data, I've done so many times while testing these zips (i test everything and try to work out bugs, and increase the user experience before posting, so I've flashed this maybe ten to twenty times just in the last two days, restoring the data doesn't cause any problems either, and it's unnecessary, but luckily the tool saves images of both partition to your sdcard (again, I don't recommend restoring these and have not run into a scenario that requires it.

I appreciate people showing some passion, but lets be a team and all move forward. THANKS EVERYONE. Despite some of the negativity expressed, the tool actually would not have been improved to it's current state without it. I wouldn't have been motivated to improve upon the original format only implementation and I never would haver thought to use the updater-script exclusively to do all the work instead of setting up a shell script and binaries to do the wiping.

I'm write happy with the state if these tools now, so honestly, thank you to all posters in this thread even if you weren't trying to be useful, you helped shape it into something better than I had planned.

Now I wonder, do any of you enthusiasts have interest in building tools and flashable zips? I'm contemplating writing up some ambitious guides that have been in my mind since I stated modding android phones in late 2009. I had never used linux or written a shell script in my life, but with all the wonderful information floating in these threads at xda, some downloads, and a moderate amount of hobby time i'm never intimidated by a new rom and love customizing them to my exact specifications.

I've released a couple roms (one rom for two devices) built custom amon_ra recoveries for the g1 back in the psfreedom days, and released numerous flashable zips and scripts mainly under my name at the cm forums.

I love this community, I love how.everyone worked together, and I loved learning something new on my device every day. The g2 scene is a little slower than i'd like, and maybe we can change that if people get interested!

Also, I've had a modded recovery laying around that allows execution of custom scripts by hijacking the fix_permissions script. This can allow you to correctly mount sd-ext for wiping, set up simple symlinked apps2sd and more. Any interest?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
thank you again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
First I would like to say thank you for your work on these scripts, and for making them so easily flashable through recovery. Now on to the questions that will loudly declare my noob status lol. I think I understand the concept of these scripts, but just to be sure, flashing the SuperwipeG2 will factory reset my data, erase my cache/partition/dalvik and battery stats correct? Which would eliminate the need to do so through CWR? And SuperWipeG2[+] will do all of those things and clear my efs data? Lastly, when switching between roms which one would you suggest flashing? Thank you in advance, and *f* the haters man, trolls need to stay under their respective bridges

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
You are correct, if it is recommended you wipe before installing a rom you'd want to use this, if your rom has a minor update usually wiping isn't an issue. This is for a complete wipe and new installation, or to try and.fix bootlooping caused by filesystem leftovers and artifacts. that ste possibly left after formatting the position with cwm's built in function.

SuperWipeG2+ wipes and then execute the wipe binary for gps/efs, only need if you have gps/radio issues.

And here is guhl's original post about the gps fix:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
amazinglarry311 totally appreciate your efforts! Prefer flashing .zips than to type stuff in terminal emulator. Thanked guhl as well. I have one question:

Under what situations are we to restore the mmcblk partitions? And how do we do so?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I greatly appreciate your time and effort and dedication to the community! This has to be one of the simplest, yet useful tools I've used. I made a nandroid, and used the superwipeg2+ then restored and it really made a difference. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Unless you experience adverse effects, restoring isn't recommended, they can be restored using dd in terminal, but that can be dangerous for a lot of end users if the partition number is incorrect. I will hold off on posting the commands to restore, if you're an advanced enough user you can easily do this in terminal/adb, I only did so as a curiosity, I've not heard of any users NEEDING to restore the efs data after a wipe. I haven't looked far enough into it, but I believe these are cache partitions for the radio/gps.

TLDR: you shouldn't need to restore the efs partitions, and doing so could be potentially dangerous if done incorrectly. I'd recommend not attempting to do so. Advanced users can use dd in terminal/adb to restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
^Understood.

Thanks so much for putting the .zip together into a flashable zip. My GPS worked again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
Is it safe to use it on Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
Two folders I might suggest adding to the script

/mnt/sdcard/Android/

/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/

I've had a couple issues with Gallery showing a thumbnail that doesn't represent the image correctly and deleting these two folders with restart fixes it. Even running media scanner in "Dev tools" wouldn't fix it, only deleting those 2 folders and letting Android rebuild
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Thanks for the tools...simply amazing! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trjcasper:
I was so scared of causing a problem. I finally worked up the courage to give it a shot and boy am I glad I did. Now roms load like they should...no more force close barrage! GPS works! thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerIdiot:
I have issues where navigation stops working and says "waiting for GPS" and never re-establishes connection, even in flat terrain and clear skies. Will this fix that? If I exit navigation and go back in it fixes it instantly.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
people, myself included, have reported this problem when using "GPS Status" from the Android market. do you use this app?

Edit: subsequent testing on longer car rides, and I'm still getting the waiting for GPS/stuck status bar icon even with GPS Status & Toolbox long gone.. back to the drawing board

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pd4x:
This doesn't work on HTC Inspire 4g. Can you please suggest any tweak to make it work on Inspire 4g (am only a noob but am ready to try if I can understand it) or guide me towards a new version for HTC Inspire.

Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
These tools will only work for HTC G2/DZ, trying to use them on any other device could possibly brick it. Check the Inspire 4G forums for something safe to use on it, as far as porting them over, I'm not sure if it can be done. You would need someone with more experience than me for that. Be careful what you attempt to flash to your phone and read the OP's and descriptions carefully. Happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pd4x:

So just install zip from sd card in recovery? I just tried to install in but it said "installation aborted" so I'm must be doing something wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
What is the difference between your efs wipe, and the one done by Guhl? It looks like your download is about twice as large as Guhl's dl.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Amazinglarry added scripting to enable you to flash guhl's efs wipe through recovery...so it is the same tool just a different way of initializing it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Well, since everyone is excited on contract price, I wanted to know if anyone found the lowest off contract price on any store. I was hoping to get the phone off contract from Costco, but it seemed they don't sell it off contract. Being an Even More Plus customer, I got no choice but to buy the phone off contract.

Here are the ones I know.

T-Mobile - $499.00 + tax

Amazon - $509.00

Target - $519.00 + tax

RadioShack - $519.00 + tax

Walmart - $549.00 + tax
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
My local T-Mo store sold me one for $450 with $65 in accessories (car charger, screen protectors, case, and headphones).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] okplaya:
I was able to get one for $250 and I'm an EM+ customer. I guess I got lucky. I went to a corporate store. She was even going to allow me to do the EIP, but I paid in full.

If you have some time just float around to a few and see what happens. Ask if they "can give you a deal?". Worst that could happen is they say no. I'm almost eager to put the mail in rebate form in, but wouldn't want it to backfire on me. I'll just be happy that I got the phone 50% off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Amazon looks like your best bet if you have Amazon prime. I would have suggested Cellhub because I got mine for 514.00 (no tax) 2nd shipping
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
Well done!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Docavelli:
EIP will let off contact customers spread the payments over 19 months. The best part is you can payoff early if you want.

XDA Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
I tried to get the EIP but they couldn't discount the phone and accessories if I did. I'd expected to pay full price up front and it's probably worth it in my case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btmec:
Are you sure you got it for $250? Mine was $246.11 and $20 a month after that. Are you sure you didn't get the installment plan?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] david279:
What's eip? How does it work?

Edit : Sorry, Did not read above.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] okplaya:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. She basically gave it to me for the cost of the phone on contract. It's $250 w/ $50 MIR. She even offered me the EIP with the $250 price. It would've been $27 down, and $12 and some change a mo. I just forked over the full amount since I would've had to pay over $100 had I been charged full price. I really lucked up man. I was all set to pay the $499, but I walked out paying $264 ($250 + tax).

Why are you paying so much anyway? $246 + (19*20) = $626. Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
She probably snuck in a 2yr contract on you for $250 so she gets a kickback. Look online to see your plan.

I used my EIP at first but returned.it cause the screen had bad bleeding. Since I sold my Nexus One afterwards, I just decided to buy it outright. $534 in hand from a store.

I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and have it immediately vs 2 day shipping.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] okplaya:
She snuck in PHP which I probably should keep, but I'll probably cancel it on principle. I definitely checked and I'm still on the EM+ 1500 for families.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Just tried one local T-mobile store and immediately after I asked for discount, the sales rep said NO. She said I can upgrade to EM plan (Which I highly doubted...) Going to try other stores later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DontJoinTheDarkSide:

[Galaxy S II General] snoopstah:
Most cheap cameras (anything under semi-pro) don't have IR filters, so the IR proximity LED (the reflection of which is detected by a sensor next to the LED when the phone is next to your ear) shows up as a purple-white light in stills or video.

You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.

You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vayman:
General consensus on this is you'll have to nandroid, run a RUU (.7), accept the 651.2 OTA, re-root (unless you're s-off :D), re-flash your recovery and then restore nand backup.
