Not sure why other link doesnt wwork will do when I get home soz..

have updated it now....
[Desire HD Android Development] bassjam:
THx, this link works
[Desire HD Android Development] JD7:
Thanks for the update.

I find this an excellent tool. I've been swapping roms at least a couple of times a week, so this quick cleanup is useful
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Everything seems to be working and i have fixed the first page, dont think there will be a update till the next Clockwork-mod version..

Enjoy :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gbjack:
So full wipe will wipe everything, but only listed 3 instead and easy upgrade wipe all 4?

* SYSTEM

* DATA

* CACHE
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
The Dalvik-Cache is stored in data. ;) So if you wipe data, dalvik-cache is cleared automatically too.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
As dr4go said, Dalvik-cache is located inside /data . So when /data is formatted so is Dalvik-Cache and it is re-built on boot. :)

Where can I get a v.3.0.0.5 Recovery????.....My version is 2.5.1.3 provided by ROM Manager///
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
CM7 Require ClockWorkMod Recovery 3 (RM integration still missing)

before permanently flash a recovery is always a good thing to check if it boot and works fine

reboot your phone into fastboot (reboot bootloader from cm or maually hold vol down and power on the phone then select fastboot)

fastboot boot recovery.img

if it works fine permanently flash, reboot into fastboot and

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hello, I am using 2.5.1.3 CWM. Just to confirm, I downloaded the full wipe 1.2 zip. Is it correct?
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Yes.

(10chars)
[Desire HD Android Development] vinnieminnie:
I'm getting a bit confused. I've got CWM 2.x and I flashed Phunkycow's PNK22. This is a Gingerbread 2.3.2 Rom based from CM7. Now how did I manage to flash this rom with CWM 2.x, when you tell me I need CWM 3.x?
[Desire HD Android Development] brodos123:
Thanks for clarifying that!

What about "wipe battery stats" and wipe "factory/reset" and "wipe cache" ?

In one section of CWM it says wipe cache and in another it says format cache. is it nessasery to do both?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] Muflone71:
he he he....... :D :D :D

you see, mero01, you've got FREE and VOLUNTEERS tester of what you produce.....

when you'll create another wipe, just share it and someone will test it for you !!!!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Muflone71:
p.s.: THANKS for your wiping tool, I really appreciate it each time Mike share a new Revolution HD release.
[Desire HD Android Development] FiveInline:
When i press boot into recovery from CWM, my phone boots into a black screen, picturing a phone with a red triangle. im not getting it
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Try launching ROM Manager and install the recovery again. For some odd reason it takes 2 attempts for some users before it actually install, even if it says it installed successfully in ROM Manager :)
[Desire HD Android Development] FiveInline:
It worked! Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] Salv0:
Is version 1.3 working with recovery ClockworkMod 2.5.1.3?

Or I MUST use 1.2?

thanks in advance :D
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
I would know that too. I used 1.3 under 2.5.1.3 all the time. I think it is :) But can anyone confirm this ?
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
I havn't reverted back to 2.5.1.3 since 3.0.0.5 was released... so couldnt say if it does work or not . but if it works it works if it dont use 1.2 :P

p.s there isnt anything differnent between the two, just different scripts(code), one is using amend and the other( 1.3 ) amend.
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
I think it works, after all i used it on 2.5.1.3 and got no data (caller list, sms) anymore (forgot to backup :)) - what is then the difference between 1.2 and 1.3 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
As i said above ,

The difference is just the script language , 1.2 = amend , 1.3 = edify.
[Desire HD Android Development] bur2000:
Mails shouldn't be deleted anyway, since they are stored on the server. You can check that they really are if they are also available from your PC.

If all you need are some apps I'd get Titanium Backup and backup the important apps and then do a full wipe.

Before wiping you should always make a full nandroid backup so in case you see there's some important data missing you can always restore it.

Generally, full wipe isn't needed when you just upgrade a ROM. But if it isn't too much work you can do it anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] Red_Toyol:
Hi all,

Regarding Full Wipe 1.3, I am upgrading to Revo 2.0.13 that make use of EXT4. When I look at the updater-script in Full Wipe 1.3, it shows that this program will format to EXT3. So, what if I want the filesystem to be ext4? Should I change the lines to format("ext4", ... instead of format ("ext3,... ? TQ.
[Desire HD Android Development] Frostyeo:
Hi i need some help here, does the fullwipe 1.3 work with clockworkmod

3.0.0.6

???
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Yes, compatible with all versions of 3.xxxx
[Desire HD Android Development] PG101:
Your 1.3 version should still work fine with CWM 2.X.X.X right?

Well, I just used it and did not notice any issues... but just thought I will confirm it with you.. LOL
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
If it works it works :) ill give it a try now as-well, before i flash the new leedroid update. Will let you know soon :)

EDIT *****

Yup, confirmed working on CM 2. XXX , ill update the OP.
[Desire HD Android Development] PG101:
Cheers mate!
[Desire HD Android Development] orihuri:
What is the difference between the full wipe thats in the recovery to this tool?

Thanks alot;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Leoncc:
I've ran into a problem guys..

Followed the guide religiously but when I go to install Full Wipe 1.3 it aborts, I've downloaded it multiple times but its still doing the same.

The file is as a .zip and on the root of my sdcard?

Any ideas?

*UPDATE 1* Ok so Easy Wipe 1.3 works fine but the Full Wipe doesn't? For me at least anyway, I'm using CWM from market as of 08/03/11

*UPDATE 2* Strange sauce, its working now! >.>
[Desire HD Android Development] voncrane:
Same here...Mine just goes..

Finding update package........

Opening update package.......

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

Wat gives? easy-wipe-1.3 works though....however i'd lyk 2 do a full wipe..Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] Troden:
Thanks for the automation!
[Desire HD Android Development] bratboo:
Hi! I know it says for desire hd but can this also be used for desire z? Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] roccos_van:
Hi sorry if this has been asked before; what is the difference between this and selecting the wipe data/cache option when installing from rom manager using the 'install rom from sd card" option?
[Desire HD Android Development] shamps:
super work there mate...

Cheers.!!
[Desire HD Android Development] quark_star:
Used this before flashing my first custom ROM last night.

Many thx mero01.

Sorry All been pretty busy with uni and whatnot .

Ill double check the links/files tonight and make sure everythings working :)

[Desire HD Android Development] amazinglarry311:
you might want to sign those and upload them again.

just saying..

here's the signed ones:

View attachment EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.3.zip

View attachment FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip

along with a DZ/G2/Vision specific since someone asked for it. (partitions are exactly the same, the only difference is that after formatting it erases the entire image with erase_image in order to completely wipe in case artifacts are left over from the low-level format like ohsaka's superwipe for the g1/mt3g)

[Desire HD Android Development] mr.bobbels:
is full-wipe-zip 1.3 compatible with ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4_r1 ????
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Should be... unless they've change the script language again... which i doubt ;).
[Desire HD Android Development] gekrem:
top work with full wipe, love it! saves me a few minutes :)
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
I have the Telus DHD which full wipe should I download the first one of the second, not sure which version of the phone I have?
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
Trying to figure out which one of your great zips to use.

I`am using CWM 3.0.2.5.

I am not sure between edify script or amend script versions.

I have figured out or at least what I think is that if I want to go from theme to theme use the easy wipe as opposed to go from rom to rom then use the full wipe.

Can anybody help me out so I can use the zip file!!!!

Thanks for any advice>>>!!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Read: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868720&page=12 post #111

CWM 3.0.2.5 is based on edify script and most recent roms are based on edify script, so use full wipe 1.3 and/or easy wipe 1.3

Going from theme to theme does not require that you use easy wipe or full wipe.

Only use full wipe when changing to completely different rom eg. CM to ARHD, and use easy wipe when just updating your current rom eg. CM nightly #39 to CM nightly #40.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
Now it all makes sense to me, edify is the way. Rom to Rom I will do the full wipe, getting rid of a theme I will probally just use the easy wipe. But if problems persist then a full wipe and of course back up before doing. I find the full wipe is better as it gives us a fresh start and less problems that might crop up....Thanks and the thanks button was hit!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
What is the reason that FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip does not also format BOOT & DALVIK-CACHE ?
[Desire HD Android Development] stuart0001:
Excuse my ignorance but I'm a little confused by what each version wipes. The op states:

FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip

Will format(wipe) the following:

* SYSTEM

* DATA

* CACHE

EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.3.zip

Use if you DON'T want your data removed! Use full for ROM upgrades ie. From CM7 Nightlys #1 to CM7 Nightlys #2 .

You WILL need to reinstall gapps

Will format(wipe) the following:

* BOOT

* SYSTEM

* CACHE

* DALVIK-CACHE

This implies that Full Wipe doesn't format DALVIK-CACHE or BOOT. Is that correct as it appears that to perform a wipe of all I would need to run both?
[Desire HD Android Development] Dands:
Just used FULL WIPE 1.3 pre a Leedroid GB flash.

Flashed GB and my apps are still there from the previous version. Why is this? I used 1.3 before no issue.

ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
-Removed formatting " boot " as its inserted as a raw image when flashing so its wiped anyway

-Removed Formatting " Dalvik-Cache " as its formatted when data is & and rebuilt on boot.
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
When you decide to change to a completely new rom, use full wipe only. It will format Dalvik Cache and Boot, reasons as follows:

1. Dalvik Cache resides WITHIN /cache and /data partitions

2. Boot will be formated when you flash the new rom.

When you decide to update your current rom, use only easy wipe. It will leave the /data partition untouched but will wipe Dalvik Cache and Boot.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Will flash 3.0.2.8 now and test... get back too ya soon

EDIT: worked for me... maybe bad download....
[Desire HD Android Development] Dands:
Hi mero

I actually watched the 1.3 Full Wipe script execute this time. I does say it's formatting "data".

Anyway I used Recovery to wipe Dalvik, wipe data / factory reset, executed easy update and then full wipe 1.3!

Seemed to have worked. :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
haha ud wanna hope so , alot of wipes there :P
[Desire HD Android Development] fizzy15:
used cwm 3.0.2.6..

wipe with full-wipe-1.3.zip..

install new rom..

my sms still there.. but all others gone.. is it normal sms not wipe.. if i manualy wipe system, data, cache.. all gone..

edit: sms come back after sense sync.. have redo everything n monitor..
[Desire HD Android Development] pd4x:
Sorry for the noob question but am totally new to android world.

Does it Wipe efs data also (to fix gps)? if not , can someone please provide instructions on how to wipe efs data.

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire HD Android Development] fizzy15:
if u use full wipe.. ur device 100% clean for new rom flash.. :D and u must flash new rom:D
[Desire HD Android Development] pd4x:
Thanks for reply :), I have one more noob question: I want to wipe only efs data to flash a new radio and not the whole ROM. which script should I use.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] I'm TheQuest:
Hi pd4x

You

do not have to wipe anything

when when you flash a Radio.img.

Take Care

TheQuest :cool:

Thanks for the info :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
FULL_WIPE_1.4_EXT4_

This patch can be applied prior to flashing the ROM, please note,

this zip will wipe your device and format all partitions to EXT4.

Useful for LeeDroid 3.0.3 etc...any rom that uses EXT4

* SYSTEM - Ext4

* DATA - Ext4

* CACHE - Ext4

* Format ("/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary");
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Thanks alot! But can you please make a EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.4_EXT4_ also ??

edit: is there a way to see which fs my device is formatted/mounted with currently ? Like on ubuntu I use: cat /etc/mtab
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Yeah mate, I shall make it now :P i forgot about it haha got the parents over for dinner :\

Yup,

type " mounts " or " mount " im pretty sure ;)

EDIT :

ALL DONE FOR YA MATE< SHOULD BE UPLOADED AND READY TO GO :)
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Wicked!

Thanks alot mate, also 'mount' is the correct command thanks again!
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Sorry Sir, but quick action is required here!

EASY_UPGRADE_WIPE_1.4_EXT4.zip is actually linking to the full-wipe-version in first post.
[Desire HD Android Development] R3XNebular:
FULLWIPE EXT 4 is having issues with wiping /cache it gets an error and the only way to fix it is to reboot and use the one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056727

found in this thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
I see in Leedroid's wipe script it formats the cache as ext3 while Mero01's script fromats the cache into ext4
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
because formating /cache as ext4 is failing. it seems this is not possible in cwm (for what reason ever).
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Sorry guys was at dinner,

Fixed the Links , And removed format Cache as ext4 ..changed back to ext3 will be ext4 anways once ROM is flashed etc...

Sorry about that :o:p

All should be good now :)
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Then it might be an even better solution to let the script format the partitions as RAW, and let the 'to be installed ROM' choose and format the partition FS into EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 etc..

It would be awesome if rom-devs let the user choose which FS to use as in my opinion EXT2 is by far the fastest on flash memory devices..

EXT3/EXT4 uses a journaling method which slows down but are essential when used on 'spinning' harddisks for safety of data, which does not apply for flash memory..

If one is familiar with SSD (Solid State Drives) and linux, he would probably know that it is advised to use EXT2 as EXT3/EXT4 are decreasing the life-span of SSD disks aswell.
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Shall look into this mate :) :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] vissili:
thanks alot for the wipe.zip
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Well it wont be formatted as EXT4 after ROM is flashed, it will be just mounted as EXT4 from init.spade.rc in RAMDISK.

hopefully this is a simple question. I have been using the original Full Wipe. I used it to install MDJ UD rom and again to on MDJ's cm7. i had no issues with UD but i've had all sorts of wierd FC's and battery drains on the latter rom. is this related to me not using a Full wipe with ext4 support? what are the repercussions of not formating to ext4?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
so I just installed an app from the market that allows u to see what tower your using and mine keeps jumping to about 3 different ones the best one is only 3k meters away however it'll randoMly jump to one that's almost 17k meters away witch breaks my 3g connections I have tried several different radios updating prls and profiles nothing seems to help could sprint fix this somehow by calling them thanks in advance this is driving me crazy I live in the stix lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Which app would that be??

As for a fix, I'd say update your PRL (sense rom only), if its the newest try a different radio. If the a different radio doesn't work and your PRL is the latest, try reverting to an older PRL.

Newest PRL as of right now is 60672

If you want to revert to an older one check out This Thread

Hope it works out :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
If you live in the sticks, either find a carrier that has actual coverage, move, or stick to a landline ;)

Or try to get an Airwave.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coppertop4646:
Second the Airave...I used to have no service in my house and now I get full coverage in the entire 1st floor and around 3-4 bars on the 2nd floor. Just call Sprint and ask them to transfer you to whoever cancels your account and tell them you're thinking of canceling your contract because you get no service in your house and ask if there is anything they can do. They should offer you the Airave free of charge.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Okay update..

So I decided to call Sprint and explained my situation and the tech was pretty nice she saw that I wad jumping to different towers and I told her about switching radios and everything and she new exactly what i was talking about so she told me to power of my phone and take out the battery for a couple of min so they could change something so did that left it out for about 8min and she said she would call me back in about ten min so I waited and about 40min I decided to call baCk and I got a diff tech who was kind of a jerk she said as long as I can make calls ajd access data there was nothing they could do so I kept telling her what the other tech said but she kept going in a circle so I gave up and Hung up still nothing changed and I'm awaiting a call back from the first tech
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
I might try and call a Sprint store that I go to they actually have their own tech dept so hopefully that'll be better
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
which app?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
And another update.. lol

So I decided to call a Sprint tech store that's near me and the guy was a lot better and new what he was doing he told me to go to the dialer and press *18 and that would automatically connect me to the nearest tower witch it did and it seems to be sticking to that tower and one that is 8miles away but I still get a decent signal from so that definitely worked so FYI always call a sprint tech store they know what there doing but does anyone know if dialer codes will work on cm6.1 witch is my Rom of choice
