[Galaxy S III General] xRenzo:
I have noticed a lot of random files on my internal sdcard that were not being removed whenever i did a full wipe and reflash of a rom. I also noticed that while on Dark ParanoidAndroid and Siyah Kernel, my home screens would lag for the first 5 seconds of swiping around and become smoother overtime.

I have used megawipe, removed a lot of clutter from my phone and also noticed a lot of things running more smoothly, thanks a lot zoot1!

[Galaxy S III General] mitjag:
Ok I am confused. What is difference between Megawipe and use of factory reset code *2767*3855# since this code also delete data and format internal SD completely.
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Factory reset will not clear your system partition but mega wipe will.. So after you have used megawipe you will have a blank system partition with no os to boot.. Factory reset is like my superwipe..

Ok Guys,

I have added more options in the OP and also an Aroma Installation Script.

I need someone to test it and report.

Enjoy!!
[Galaxy S III General] cerato:
I'd rather suggest a better way... Use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 tool and its push file function. Push through the toolkit (p.11 see the picture) the zip of any new rom on internal sd card (if u'r using touch CWM) or on both - external or internal which doesn't matter if u'r on chainfire's CWM - then boot into recovery and HAPPY FLASHING :)

What do you mean by sdcard? Is it extsdcard If it does we need to remove the extsdcard before flashing the megawipe.

Edit: got my answer to my question within the postes.In that case I create a folder in the extsdcard and put in all th Wipes in it.When I need It I just flash from extsdcard.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Is there any txt file comes with the wipes?Just a suggestion.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

What are the difference between Megawipes and *2767*3855# ?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Sdcard means internal sdcard..megawipe wipes your system partition as well while the dialer code which you have given (for factory reset if I am not wrong) formats the data partition only..

You will get a log file in cache/recovery/last install

[Galaxy S III General] Ttblondey:
I ever use that number in ics and it totally wipe off internal and external:mad: losing all my data in it.:(. I believe using your mega wipe will solve my problem. :good::good:
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Megawupe will not wipe your external sdcard..you can recover your ext sddata...by using any data recovery software from your pc..for internal sdcard use apps from play store but it is hard to recover..

[Galaxy S III General] Ttblondey:
Does it compatible with s2 or can you make for the s2.
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
It will become compatible with S2 if you just change the Product name in the updater-script. It check the product name from build.prop before running so change that and it will work..

Edit: You will also have to update the partition information. I don't have a S2..so it would be better if you can send me the partition layout and I will make one that is compatible with S2
[Galaxy S III General] Ttblondey:
I'm not sure how to extract the partition layout. I don't know how to update the partition information.I don't have the expertise to do that.
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Once you flash anything in CWM recovery..go into cache>Recovery and check the recovery Log..

Generally it has the partition information..

or connect to adb then

type

adb shell
su
mount

Noob Question

If I Put Superwipe And ROM.Zip On Internal Memory Then Flashed Superwipe Will That Deleted ROM.Zip?

Same Question About Mega Wipe
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Superwipe will not however megawipe will..better put it on your external sdcard..

sent from here, there, somewhere!!
[Galaxy S III General] delio163:
Maybe this is a nood question. Is there a chance to use megawipe for ex-sd Instead of formatting ex-sd through PC?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
If I am not wrong.. Cwm recovery does not mount external sdcard.. So it is not possible to format it....

However you can do it from the phone itself.. Go to settings>storage>format external storage

[Galaxy S III General] siavash_Skh:
Hi

Thank u for your usefull scripts.

I have an question :

After a Mega wipe All things ( except Ext SDcard ) will be deleted. Right ? Is anythings remain of the previously installed stock rom ?

Yous said that we can can flash a custom rom directly after Mega wipe. So for flashing a custom rom based on official roms, Is it needed some files and elemened of previously installed stock rom ?

What about a custom rom based on AOSP ? like Cynogen Mod ? Can i flash this one directly after a Mega wipe ?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Yes everything except anything on the external SDcard will be deleted..

You can flash any ROM after you have Megawiped (Official/Custom/CM)..just put the ROM zip on the external SDcard before wiping..

No files from the previous ROM is required..
[Galaxy S III General] siavash_Skh:
thank you.

This a rule for all custom ROM ? all custom roms are complete and no need to having a base stock rom before ? Whether cutom ROM based on stock ROM or custom ROM based on AOSP ?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Yes all Stock Sammy based Custom ROMs are full similarly all AOSP based ROMs are complete in themselves..nothing is required from the previous ROM..

You need a ROM base to flash OTA updates only..

[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
If I were you I would not try to do so..however It is possible but you will have to be very careful and there is no guaranty of success...such the efs partition is very sensitive and I have seen people having problems is restoring it...some partitions such as Recovery, Boot, System are easy to recover..

Don't try it now dude..send me the partition layout ..I need to have a look at it before using the wipe scripts..

The Aroma Installer script combines all the wipe scripts into one ..you just need to choose which one you want to use while flashing..

hey guys,

i ain't got an external SD card. is it possible to do the megawipe installed on the intern SD card? or is there any plan B?

excuse my bad english, i'm from germany :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Plan B is a dangerous one..once you have flashed Mega Wipe..connect your phone to the PC over ADB in Recovery Mode...push the ROM onto the Internal SDcard and then flash the ROM..

However, try out the pushing part first and also check whether you are able to use ADB in Recovery..
[Galaxy S III General] der_brecher:
damn, seems a little bit risky. is there any way to wipe this S3 without an external SD card? would buy one, no problem but i need to wipe & flash it now :eek:

[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
okay then tell me what you want to do ...I will customize the zip for you..

i just want to wipe the phone and flash a rom :crying:

External SD Card

Will Mega Wipe erase your external SD card as well? I'm also guessing CWRecovery would be running purely from RAM at this point so a ROM must be flashed before rebooting from your external SD card, but I'm wondering if this has to be removed and then reinserted after the Mega Wipe. Another concern I have is will my boot loader be locked again? I used EZ unlock to free it from Verizon's oppression.
[Galaxy S III General] Miracleman10:
I deleted this:

ifelse(getprop(ro.product.model)=="GT-I9300",ui_print("Your device is GT-I9300, wiping will continue"),(ui_print("It is not International Version of Samsung Galaxy S3");abort()));

I'm confused. It says factory reset deletes all files on internal sd.

Are these steps right?

1. Go into can and flash mega wipe

2. After wipe finishes, flash rom through cwm.

Is that right? I've never done a full wipe or factory reset.

Also what does super wipe exactly delete? Will it delete all apps music and videos?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Mega Wipe and superwipe - Delete everything on your internal SDcard such as photos, music and videos

Superwipe - Will retain the retain the photos, videos on the int SD

Though isnt everything in the internal SD? This is why im confused. Everything is on the phones internal storage (SD) and you say that factory reset will delete everything on internal sd

Also if I go to settings>back up and reset>factory data reset will that work the same as mega wipe or superwipe or factory reset?

megawipe ..doesn't remove root..right?

If you read the OP.. Mega Wipe will delete everything. Your system, internal storage card data.. So there won't be a system/rom to boot into so where is the question of having or not having good root..

You will have to Flash a new rom.. So if that rom is pre rooted.. You will have root otherwise not..

Full Wipe w/o sdcard

Hi,

I want you advise regarding my case please:

I want to install a new ROM with full wipe, to have my phone clean.

Knowing that I don't have an external sdcard so if I do a mega wipe, only the CWM recovery will stay so I will not be able to connect my phone to my laptop to copy the ROM file???

Do I need to do a super wipe only to be able to keep the ROM on the internal sdcard?

It will be good if the mega wipe will avoid removing one foler on the internal memory so we can keep on it the ROM to install.

Thanks
