RECOVERY is what you used to flash SuperWipe. You're in recovery now. CM6 is a ROM, which is the operating system your phone uses, like Windows XP is an operating system for a computer.

You just completely erased your existing ROM with SuperWipe, so now your phone won't boot until you flash another ROM. SuperWipe is a cleaner between different ROMs, like erasing the chalkboard before you write something.

Make sense?

Each phone has specific ROMs and flashing a ROM that is not meant for your phone can DAMAGE IT.

How did you get here? Why did you want to erase your current ROM before knowing how to install a new one?

What kind of phone do you have? At the bottom of this page there is a JUMP option with a pull-down menu. Go to the category for your make/model of phone and READ all the newbie guides. For example I have a myTouch 4G so I would go to that section and start in General or Q&A. I used to have a myTouch 3G and there is a separate area for that model as well. Each phone has different software and different procedures.

Not trying to be harsh but you are in serious danger of rendering your device inoperable if you don't SLOW DOWN AND DO SOME RESEARCH before proceeding.

I am sorry I should have given some background. I have rooted and applied cyanogen 6.0 and gapps to 4 g1's all went well except for the second one I did and it first had a problem with the cell signal dropping of all the time. Then I wiped and flashed it 4 or 5 times and everything seemed fine for a couple of days then suddenly when I tried touched the screen before I even made contact with the screen icons would highlight or apps would start and I thought it was a hardware problem. Then the other day I saw a post about Super Wipe and I thought it would interesting to see if it would help. I really did not see a guide for how to use Super Wipe. Also I don't think I knew it totally wipe the Rom. I have successfully used Super Wipe and installed cyanogen 6.1 and gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed and it is better but now I have to press the screen hard in order for it to work. Thank You for your concern and instruction :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Time to go buy a new digitiser by the sounds of it.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Do you set up right away when you see the sign in screen on your first boot? Give it a few mins to sit there before setting up.

You would be surprised at how many crazy bugs can be caused by simply not giving the rom enough time to "think" on its first boot. Even though it seems ready there are all sorts of background processes and set-up going on. Give it some time to "settle."

Whenever I flashed a new rom on my mt3g I would wait for it to get to the sign in screen and then let it sit there for a solid 10-20 mins before setting up.

BIG improvement in stability! Wow...
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Does anybody know if SuperWipe works for other phones as well, like MT4G?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Not sure if the 'erase_image' executable will run on the MT4G or not. If it does, then it might.

If it does, then run "cat /proc/mtd" on the phone. It will list the partitions and their names. Superwipe erases partitions by name. It will erase "boot","system","cache", and "userdata". If your partitions are named different, you could always modify the script. Just dont touch the "misc" partition, else phone go boom!
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
I have a donation for SuperWipe. I will let Ohsaka review it before posting anything.

Things to do while waiting:

First,

reread

this whole thread! Yes, this whole thing.

Everything asked for through out this thread has been taken into consideration.

If you reread the thread, you will know exactly what I am taking about...
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Looking in one of my nandroid folders I have "boot, cache, data, system, android_secure, recovery, nandroid.md5." Clockwork backs up the android_secure directory from sdcard which is kind of nice. Not sure why it backs up recovery since I'm not sure it can actually restore it. Shrug.

It sounds like I just have to modify the script from userdata to data and it'll be good to go. I'm slightly out of my league so I'll just let it be.
[G1 Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Do the cat /proc/mtd to see the partition names. My magic 32A has userdata in the cat /proc/mtd output and data in the nandroid dir: the names are different! Use the name from the cat /proc/mtd output.
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
i cant seem to get the right link for superwipe. its giving me this other crap.. FDM

and some other crap......:confused:
[G1 Android Development] :
It does not seem to wipe cache correctly, after flashing this, shutting down phone, and then flashing another rom, the cache runs out of space and I have to wipe cache manually via recovery..

Other than that, great program.

Are you on a mac? Macs like to automatically unzip files when it finishes a download. There's a setting somewhere to turn it off.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Version 2 is here.

All praise to RichieDaze!
[G1 Android Development] biglo:
How do I get it to reboot automatically? I tried editing the conf file using notepad and changed no to yes but I don't know if thats right because it still didn't reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I tested it and it works. Make sure you didn't capitalize the word "yes"...
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
My contribution to a wonderful idea

I hope that everybody enjoys the little extra enhancements. If you enjoy it plase don't hesitate to press the Thank you button on this post and on the 1st post on this thread.

If you have a requested feature(s) or request, please lets us know by posting your ideas on this thread.
[G1 Android Development] :
Download and use notepad++ to edit files in, much better than notepad.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Or PSPad, which is my preferred editor... But both know how to distinguish between DOS and Unix linefeeds.
[G1 Android Development] :
Thank you for the suggestion, going to check it out and thanks for the update. Must say I'm loving the configurability that the .conf file adds, nice work all round and also to Richie too.
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
When using super wipe, will it wipe a saved file in switchrom. So I am asking is it better to do a nadroid backup?
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
If the file doesn't live under the /sdcard directory, it is gone...
[G1 Android Development] fatjohnny:
2 stupid questions, forgive me as I'm trying to re do a CM 6.1 install that is now rebooting randomly like a mofo and I want to do it right.

1. This does or does not remove the radio as well? Or do I need to flash the radio again after doing this before installing the ROM?

2. Everything on the '3rd partition', the FAT partition is left alone correct?

Thank you all for all your hard work at keeping these old 'dinosaur' phones alive.
[G1 Android Development] :
1. No it doesn't.

2. Fat32 does not get wiped.
[G1 Android Development] fatjohnny:
Thank you very much. As I see you live in Manchester, I was wondering if you could tell me how many Ricky Hatton's there are?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] netdependent:
Hi,

I have a Dream on CM6.1 with Firerat's ALlinOne for Swap & hist a2ext script.

I wanted to remove those and get back to vanilla CM6.1 - unfortunately, after running superwipe, Swap is still on & and sd-ext still mounted - so something must survive the superwipe - any pointers? (I used the SuperWipe.conf from the 1st post).

thanks
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
SuperWipe

SuperWipe does NOT touch your boot partition.

Those changes are made inside the boot.img...You would have to replace your boot image for that rom so that these (Swap is still on & and sd-ext still mounted) changes can take place. Or you could just reflash the rom again and your boot image will be replaced with the original.
[G1 Android Development] netdependent:
Hm, what I did was

- flash superwipe

- flash CM6.1 Final (unmodified)

- flash GApps

- still habe swap/a2ext,

so something is wrong, but thanks for the clarification on what is deleted. will have a more detailed look.
[G1 Android Development] slashbeast:
Many thanks for this superwipe. Today I have multiple issues with my 32a magic, which after wipe still had some crap leftover. I tried your superwipe nad just WOW, my phone never was so fast! I think that was because of fragmentation on the filesystems. Anyway good work.

btw where I can found source for earse_image?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
In clockwork recovery (bootable recovery in cyanogen's github). The included binary is from biffmod 2.2's codebase.. so for the exact version you may need to go back in time to about nov 3rd 2010. (Biffmod just used cm's version of bootable recovery)
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Since I just realized that Ohsaka now has an MT4G I'm hoping he'll update SuperWipe for that device. :D
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
The code shouldn't be hard to port over to the MT4G. I'll write it up and test it. Then send it to him for approval. We also need ezterry to replace a erase_image for that device, when ever he is ready or has the time.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I would love to see ezterry developing for mt4g. I'm a big fan of his work.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Um what device that I don't own.. with what time I don't have?

Anyway the code is as I sad the actual code for clockwork recovery (on most if not all devices)

And I see no patches to libmtdutil or erase image that change between devices.. so there is a decent odds that the current binary will work for you.. you just need to validate the MTD partitions names 'cat /proc/mtd'

Some devices store some data off mtd on an internal mmc device using more traditional filesystem (ie. ext3/4).. obviously your erase image scripts need to do the right thing in such a situation.

Um..

1, get it to work on the 850MHz 3g band

2, buy me that version

3, ship it here
[G1 Android Development] bone2006:
Is there anything that's more universal? I love superwipe, but one family member has the LG optimus and another one has the HTC incredible.

I'm not even sure how to do all the wiping manually, but would love to have something like this that can be used on other phones.

I guess it has to use a compatible image, so it's wishful thinking and will never happen?
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Clockwork recovery has the option to format /system. I think it's under mounts/storage or advanced. Poke around and you'll find it.
[G1 Android Development] stevendeb25:
i have made a edited version of superwipe V2 for wildfire (buzz) everything seems to wipe but how can i check for sure?
[G1 Android Development] TaterTot24:
This is a stupid questions but... after you install it, how do you run it?

A little lacking on the instructions on the first post for use newbs...:D
[G1 Android Development] Chocolate Columbo:
It has been run once it has been 'installed' in recovery. The notes tell you to make a backup then tells you you're too late, so quite simple to tell really. ;)
[G1 Android Development] tech_girl:
I have been trying to install a few custom roms but to no avail. One of which is ImPrOSv1.3. According to the logcat, my WF has some remnants left so I am hoping this would clean out the phone. *Fingers crossed*

The .android_secure folder is in the sdcard which is formatted in FAT32, does it mean it would not be cleaned?
[G1 Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

I take it then that this is applied in much the same way as loading a new ROM?

Will this work on an HTC Desire Z or is it compatible with the Desire Z 9Or G2)?

Thanks,

Des. . . ;)
[G1 Android Development] dkmurphys:
Yes it does.
[G1 Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Thanks for that.

Just a side issue (not sure if this should be in the ROM or here) but does this wipe the radio too?

If so I would need to load a new ROM and then new Radio (given the ROM applied has no supplied radio?

Scarey stuff all this.. :D

Des. . . ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
If it wiped your radio it would be pretty bleedin useless ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
I don't think it will work on any other device than the Dream/sapphire because it checks for the device platform before running.. All that will happen is that you will get an error if you try to flash it on another device.

I guess you could try to mod the updater-script to remove the lines to check for the device but I don't know if it would be safe.
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
SuperWipe version 2.4 COMING SOON!

Sneek peek, coming soon! :D

source:http://code.google.com/p/superwipe/
[G1 Android Development] beseenwithgreen:
"Kudos to RichieDaze! He stepped up and added some often requested functionality to this popular wipe script. Now SuperWipe will check the root of the /sdcard/ directory for a file named "SuperWipe.conf". This file will control which partitions get erased and also control if the script triggers an auto-reboot. If the file is not present, then the script will default to wiping all partitions."

Im not sure whether this file is supposed to be in a certain spot onthe sd card. Could you please clear up my noob confusion. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
Yes, it goes in the root (not in any directory) of the sdcard.

The next version places it on sdcard if it is not already there. Most people use the default that I know of. You could copy and paste it off the first post, name it SuperWipe.conf. This file is your where you edit what you want wiped.if you got any questions please post them here.
[G1 Android Development] suaji:
Hi.. I got noob question to ask..

Do i need to put both files ( Ohsaka-SuperWipe_v2.zip & SuperWipe.conf ) in root sd card?..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] maxidude44:
Hey guys

I was wondering if there was a way to port the HTC sense UI onto a Mini Pro

HTC sense is on the Wildfire, which has the same screen resolution.

The Mini Pro would be fine running it because it has a 600MHz processor as opposed to 528MHz on the Wildfire
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dabulcke:
For what I have understood from the developers, up till now nothing is possible to port to the X10 mini or mini pro, as the developers haven't been able to hack the bootloader of the device up till now. This means that it is not possible to port new ROM's to the device right now.

(DEV's correct me if I'm wrong :o)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tsip4:
I think HTC sense is just a homescreen apk not a rom :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jan-willem3:
Sense is way more than that you nee htc framework etc. You can only do that by flashing a rom.

I just heard that Asus had just collaborated with Garmin and produced an Asus-Garmin phone which runs on Android Eclair.

Here's the link : http://techcentral.my/gadgetsandapp...reviews/20101109104759&sec=it_gadgets_reviews

So anyone into ROM dump? However I don't think it's legal..... hmmmmm... :confused:

-

Update 03/03/2011

Ok so it seems that this is still ongoing and I saw several members post a request to get specific files in order to extract the app out and make it compatible with other android devices.

And here's an elaboration from ajape.

Guys, I may not visit this thread frequent, but I do visit XDA often. So should there be any updates which you want me to post here, kindly PM and I would be more than happy to update the current progress.
[Android General] thunderskain:
Its quite possible, as the navigation feature is mainly an app on the A10. So any developers out there could do it?
[Android General] Spazmogen:
I have the A50 (Garminfone in USA).

In the USA it ships with Android 1.6 but in SIngapore it has 2.1 Eclair. The USA is supposed to get the Eclair update soon, but no date has been mentioned.

http://www.garminasus.com/en_SG/phones/a50/specs.html

Several of us have it rooted. But are stumped as we can not get it into recovery mode, and it seems to over right /bin on each start up...so we have to manually copy/paste su in to that to keep it rooted after each start up.

Anyone have any advice on how to dump the ROM when we can not get it into recovery?

I'd love to know how to tweak the phone to accept .update files from a different country.
[Android General] thunderskain:
I've searched around but not many people around the forum uses a garminphone.

Have you tried using universal androot? Cos I believe it works thay way.
[Android General] Spazmogen:
universal androot only does a partial job on it (1.6 android). We have to manually move 1 file after each start up, so not a big deal.

Yesterday, Garmin posted 2.1 Eclair for Garminfone.

What a huge difference! Universal Androot does not work with this 2.1 Eclair version!

Now I am unrooted again, but the upgrade to 2.1 is worth it.
[Android General] thunderskain:
The A10 I have here runs on 2.1 since I'm in Singapore and universal androot works on it.

I noticed a monopoly icon on one of the screenshots. Does this mean monopoly is available? I can't seem to find it..
[Android General] sebr1ng:
It looks we're closer to having Garmin on all Android devices :)
