SUPERWIPE SCRIPT

Alright.. Here is a SUPERWIPE script for our Nexus 4

standard disclaimer here... i aint responsible if your phone catches fire, etc, etc

I'm not getting into the debate on their usefullness, whatever.. I like them and some others do so yeah :good:

Will not play nice with twrp it will not wipe your data partition at all or reboot back to recovery due to the way twrp handles their stuff I am currently working on a fix for this

Version 1

Wipes & Formats

- cache, system,

Wipes

- data (NOT SDCARD)

Wipes

- various system files found on sdcard

Checks

- system for errors

MD5 SUm : 7C95D25876C9D387139384639F77CB04 *LG Nexus 4 - SuperWipe v1.zip

How to Use

- Backup Original ROM

- Flash LG Nexus 4 Superwipe v?.zip

- FLASH OR RESTORE A ROM

- Continue as normal

TESTED working before a restore and new rom flash by myself multiple times

Original superwipe created by mike1986

cherry picked data wipe without wiping sdcard from Jst_In_Time

Used the partition information from mskip to ensure the correct locations were being wiped

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to be in and I read the thread sticky before posting
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
can anyone report their use? no problems thus far?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] samthe2can:
I would, but I haven't got anything new to flash yet :p

I will be sure to tell you when I do though, I always like having these scripts on hand, thankyou.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] undercover:
No no no no. Please don't use superwipe scripts. They are known to be problematic and don't do anything that your recovery doesn't do.

Thanks for the effort OP, but I strongly advise NOT to use it. I've troubleshooted Sensation and some other HTC phones for over a year with other guys, and we all agree that superwipe scripts are a no no.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
Used them every ROM flash with 3 sensations and a desire and my galaxy nexus when they were available.. Setup correctly with partition table information they yes will do what a recovery does and save time and remove unnecessary system files on sdcard before a ROM flash... Your problem lies when you try to use a super wipe on a device to which it isn't ported for as dev blocks change for partitions (so u end up wiping a radio partition instead of a system for example) and locations of sdcard etc change... I've used it probably 20-30 times already myself in testing (as i tested the mouting points etc before the last testing phase was the format of the partition.. And read each log until I was happy with the result)

Wipes

- data (NOT SDCARD)

Wipes

- various system files found on sdcard

Not sure what you mean, There is no sd card on the N4.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
Internal sdcard

mounts as /sdcard/0/

By the recovery when you flash a file from the phone

Therefore is a "sdcard" for simplicity purposes
[Nexus 4 Android Development] undercover:
Oh, no doubt it works as intended. But I've seen too many people use wrong superwipe, and you know consequences of that. I think it's best to stick to recovery.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
Unfortunately that is therefore due to not reading how a script, etc works and is user error.. Not due to a dev/contributor... Not having a dig at you by the way... Script works a charm none the less ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] undercover:
Indeed. User error. Users nowadays don't read, and it IS their fault if they brick their phone, but i prefer to have a little safeguard like for the kids on the stairs ;)

I somehow ended up troubleshooting problems in Senny forums, along with ganeshp, malybru, kgs and many others, so my mentality has swerved a bit towards prevention of problems rather than fixing the problem after they done the deed. :)

I understand that you are not having a dig, i think we are having quite a constructive conversation here. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Chochiwpg:
I used a SuperWipe script and a Super Cache Wipe script made by the developer (thederekjay) when I had my T989 Samsung Galaxy S 2.

Back in those days the scripts were necessary because (for that particular device at least) the earlier versions of CWM did not wipe the partitions thoroughly/properly and people would have issues when flashing ROMs.

The scripts were fantastic and a go to for almost everyone in the forum. However, they were only necessary for the earlier versions of CWM, it was not necessary on TWRP or when CWM was updated.

I guess my question is, does it matter if we are using CWM or TWRP with your script? Can it be used on either recovery?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
Either recovery is fine... Mostly this script will negate some time, provide an output of the results of the script, check for system filesystem errors and delete common files that are located on the internal sdcard from some system apps... Yes some things can be done via the recovery however some thing's cant and a lot of people don't wipe system.. Therefore this is an all over that will erase and format basically all relevant partitions and files relating to a ROM =]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Will be using this for sure, thank you very much for this, will save time and make sure my system is wiped clean as a whistle before flashing. Peace
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gqukyo:
As I mentioned already in other posts, I just got back into the Android scene so bear with me. I, too have been using super wipe scripts back in the Evo days (yes the OG Evo ;). I was actually looking for a script like this only because when I use the CWM data/factory reset, it wipes data and cache but I can still boot up into a fresh version of the ROM. Call me paranoid or OG when I want to wipe, I want to complete wipe everything so that unless I flash a rom, the phone won't boot up to anything other than fastboot and recovery. With that being said, would this script do just that?

Also, is it really necessary for me to wipe everything or does the CWM "wipe data/factory reset" good enough? I just worry that it doesn't wipe everything and leaves unnecessary files. Even though I have the 16gb N4, it's still very little space so I'd like to ensure I'm not being jacked out of space from all those unnecessary orphan files...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mmuzzy:
I'm really glad to see this. Scripts like this help a lot of people know they've wiped all the right things when they flash a new ROM. Thanks for putting this together.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
Thanks mate :good:

1. Basically.. what will occur is that the script will "factory reset/wipe data" your device as a recovery would do.. AND it will not wipe your "internal sdcard" if it was set to just wipe the entire partition you may infact lose data, which is what I didn't want for obvious reasons.

2. Alot of people do not wipe their system partition at all, as you can see most people state to "factory reset/wipe data" which is an entirely different partition. Yes some people say that the entire system is wiped before a rom is flashed but looking through ROM updater scripts during the course of making the superwipe script for our device I noticed some had system parition format lines in there before the rom is flashed. This superwipe script will wipe/format the system partition regardless of what the rom zip may contain

3. This script also deletes some files located on the internal sdcard that can be left behind if conducting a "full wipe/factory reset" as previously stated as this script (as with recoveries) do not wipe this partition because that would be a pain in the butt to reload all your sdcard contents back on

so basically its up to you whether you wish to use a script to conduct more than most people usually do with just their recovery, if you feel that is what you would like to conduct in the course of flashing a rom
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Simer03:
So I ran the script and then flashed a different ROM but when it booted up, I still had my apps....normal?? And like basically most features settings too..

.....I'm scared.... Hah

Sent from my Google Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] joshndroid:
I'll take a look but hasn't occurred to me

actually send me a copy of your superwipe.log that is placed on your sdcard please

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

1. flashed back to stock.. then ran the script...

2. flashed to AOKP downloaded a couple apps that are located in /data (like titanium backup and the like).. then ran the script

3. flashed to euroskank.. did the same as above

4. flashed back to my aokp rom

checked the superwipe logs and compared... all the same AND the apps that were downloaded into the data partition had been removed as I had no user apps each time
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bigballa:

How about an ipod management app for tabs with usb? That'd be great

It would be kinda cool to have a video player with a notepad type thing underneath

I used to set up a netflix window and a word window like that on my pc so you can either take notes or watch tv while working

ipod manager would be hard to build right off

starting it as an mp3 player manager or really a storage utility that focuses on exteral devices with cloud plugins (ftp, dropbox, skydrive, drive, etc)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] engineer_kev:
Note taking app

How about a note taking app, that is versatile in the sense that it allows to edit written text, and allows you draw graphs and type equations with a stylus? Something like NOTABILITY for the ipad :)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] dlw1146:
Answering machine app

If this already exist please advise.

The app would:

If the phone is not answered after a set number of rings;

answer the call;

play a message (Please leave a message);

use the voice recorder to record the call;

and save internal or to sd card.

Just like common answering machines do now.

Why bother with voicemail.

If you have unlimited minutes if doesn't matter.

If you have prepaid like I do, you pay when you call to get your voicemail anyway.

Calls are stored on your phone.

More secure, better privacy.

I just hope this is not a stupid idea.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] pendragon11:
I'm digging this.

On the Internet no one knows you're a dog
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] University of Pi:
I think there aren't api functions for that

Root would be required

Though you should be able to make something that calls, downloads and deletes your voicemail

It would dial out (apps do that) with pauses and whatnot record calls (apps also do that)

Though that's really the easiest way

Unless you just use Google voice (or setup your own voicemail server) and download them that way ;) :P

Honestly gv is the easiest way to go and at best you're hacking something specific to your firmware

Prior to installing libusb, I think "Re-attaching kernel driver..." didn't appear.

I originally tried Odin1.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2. The icon for installing device drivers appeared, but couldn't install the device. The phone usb windows driver I downloaded was from Samsung. Also, no apparent issues with that install.

This phone is a Fascinate and had an unbrickable mod installed several months ago. The phone can go into download mode (obviously), and can get to a splash screen for it's until-recently-working MIUI ROM. It cannot go to recovery mode.

This is my main phone and so is important. I've posted elsewhere (outside xda in other 'regular issue' site's forums) in attempting to solve this at the lowest level without bringing in the experts.

Hi guys!

I just tried JeallyBam ROM, and I found very nice interface but are things in the ROM that made me return to CM10...

Whatever, I install TouchWiz launcher in CM10.

1.- Download the zip file.

2.- Extract the files (Isn't flasheable zip).

3.- Use root browser, root explorer or any file manager with root permision that you use.

4.- Paste SecLauncher2.apk in system/app. Set permissions rw-r--r-- and ownership (0:root, 0:root)

5.- Paste libdrawglfunction.so in system/lib. Set permissions rw-r--r-- and ownership (0:root, 0:root)

6.- Reboot phone and enjoy!

This is not my launcher, I just ported to CM10

The files and some screenshots in attached files.

Note: If somebody can make a flasheable zip of this, well, it will be awesome.

I do't think it's that easy. I have the Jedi build on my phone and have S Memo from an add-on package that the rom creator provided but haven't seen any of the other roms with that type of add-on. Maybe you could use the apps from the stock build if you change the permissions but I don't know how legit that would be or if the original Samsung apps would work properly by side-loading them like that. I think there are some other things that would have to be edited inside the APKs to get them working

Right so I'm almost done with an internal micro SD slot, some pictures....

I'm keeping the card sticking out about 1mm so it can be pulled out, any more flush with that and it goes in but doesnt come out. I'll have a look for those slots that are push to eject card but cant remember what phones they are in. If anyone knows which makes/models have them say so below and I'll get some.

I'll be adding a micro switch (from a psp so its tiny) that isolates power to either the micro SD or the usb port. The N7 can either use the card or charge at full power but not both and also work fine with PC.

Complete in next few day.

If anyone had a dead N7 that they want to contribute pm me, I can remove the tegra chip and start tracing out where the connections go, then all we need is a tegra 3 pinout and we should have dedicated usb/sd card lines so the usb port can be left alone.

Also heres some fun stuff about the pogo pins.... (i) They charge at 800mA without having D+ and D- shorted, also charging works fine through pogo as well as using the main usb port for OTG at the same time. Thats why the dock manuals say use a 2A power supply :)
