zoot1's original thread said:
There are 4 Scripts:
1) MegaWipe
2) SuperWipe
3) SimpleWipe
4) Factory Reset
All 4 serve different purposes.
Megawipe: Use this zip to completely format your phone. It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work. It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!
SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts. It deletes the Data Folders and Cache partitions of your internal memory. Will not affect the Internal SD card.
Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition, Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache. It will delete everything on your Internal SDcard.
SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests a Simple Cache and Dalvik wipe. You can use it to clear the said partitions before updating to a newer version of your ROM. Also, You can use it before you have flash a new ROM.
Also, I have read questions on how to completely wipe the phone..the MegaWipe zip will do it for you..just make sure you have a ROM to install on the ExtSdcard when you use it..

How to use:
Just copy the required zip to your External SDcard and reboot into CWM recovery. Install the zip and you are good to go!
So can you use either recovery or just one or the other?
And a question, will this work with the GS3?

WARNING!!! THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING
Found this over at the evo forum by evokings so i took it and made it work for us.
This will most likely prevent problems with install ROMS. Please Wipe before reporting bugs caused by the User(This means us!)
It will wipe:
Boot
Data (Dalvik-cache is included in Data)
System
Cache
You choose what you want to wipe......
This is great for flashing ROMS. If you are using a custom recovery and it has an "update.zip" option, for quicker access just rename the zip to "update.zip"
Downloads:
WIPE--ALL.zip--> Wipes Boot, System, Cache, & Data
WIPE--System_Data_Cache.zip--> Wipes System, Data, Cache
WIPE--Cache_Dalvik-cache.zip--> Wipes Cache & Dalvik-cache

In cwm, wipe data, cache, and under advanced wipe dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from SD card , find your file and install it. Then reboot. Let the phone sit untouched for about 10 minutes and reboot again. Then your good to go.
For kernels, same process but you don't have to wipe data, just cache and dalvik.
This is assuming your rooted and have cwm recovery. If not, there are several good guides in the development section to help you get there

definitely, backup your imei before you do ANYTHING. then if you arent rooted yet use the no-trip method. simplest, most hassle-free way of doing it. then you can get cwm or twrp (recoveries) through their respective play store apps. you can find guides for all this in the android development section

Looking to see if one of the awesome devs here can whip something up. On previous devices we seemed to have some flashable wipe scripts that would do a thorough job of cleaning the device before a flash. For instance one could wipe cache, dalvic, data, and system, as well as do some sort of disc alignment in one flashable script. It would mount the proper partitions and ensure that the device was clean for a fresh install. With all the choices between aosp, ics, and jelly bean roms, this may help alleviate some of the questions about what,and how to wipe properly. I for one would love to see a similar file for this device.

If people have any questions about how to wipe or what wipes are necessary for there particular flash I believe they should read more and learn about there device inside and out so they won't need to ask such questions and can fix problems themselves, not spoon feed them a do all script that they have no clue what it's doing or afterwards if something goes wrong they will have no clue how they got there or how to fix it. My 2c.
I do see your point of making it easier for power users however, but in reality most fresh install require 3 different wipes all located right next to each other(twrp) and dirty installs even less, I don't really see that 10 seconds it takes to wipe the phone clean to be such an issue, but that's just me. Not trying to argue or flame, just my thoughts.

Does this wipe internal storage? Based on your instructions I am assuming so.
That's the problem to use a script to wipe data also wipe your internal sdcard. The only safe way is to use a custom recovery that doesn't wipe /data/media. I can look into it and see if it can be done without wiping data/media but no promises...
The link above just deletes the directories, including data so i wouldn't recommend using that if you want to keep your internal sd contents.
Here is the one we used on the hercules, maybe you can try to make it work on this device.

You could have it backup /data/media and restore it after the wipe. Of course the better way would be to just skip it but I am not sure how to do that.
OK here is a new one that will wipe data but not /data/media.

First off if you're on ANY recovery that isn't CWM 5.0.2.7 you DO NOT NEED TDJS SUPER WIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!!!! Seriously stop flashing these people you're filling up threads with problems caused by both of these scripts and bad flashing methods. Here's how to PROPERLY flash a ROM..
If on CWM 6.0.x.x
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
If you're on a Cyanogenmod nightly a full wipe IS NOT REQUIRED. The proper method of dirty flashing is just wiping cache, ( NOT FORMAT CACHE IN MOUNTS & STORAGE )
wiping dalvik and flashing your ROM. Simple as that.
If using TWRP 2.2+ the steps are essentially the same or use TDJs wipe scripts. They work perfectly fine with TWRP. Feel free to wipe 2x or even 3x if it makes you feel safer about your installation.
And THAT'S IT. People are cluttering up threads with issues than can totally be avoided by flashing the right way. I hope this helps some of you iron out these insane tiny quirks I keep reading about.
Happy flashing folks.
EDIT:
I forgot to note.. if you're still using one of TDJs roms or any other rom that automatically wipes with TDJs SUPER CACHE WIPE, do NOT use any other recoveries other than CWM 5.0.2.7 or TWRP 2.2+. With any other recovery such as CWM 6.0.x.x+, the wipe script breaks the roms ability to reboot properly and the only way to solve this is to use TDJs CACHE WIPE which in turn breaks your recoveries ability to work properly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks man this was needed. Yes threads get filled with this so often. I dirty flash like you mentioned accept I format system first. I also clean flash like you mentioned but never formatted cache and dalvik just system. That's good to know. Thanks
But I will add those new steps. I format system when dirty flashing because on the cm10 Site they mentioned that.
Again thanks

Sad we need to keep telling people how to flash. If you are not sure what you are doing I think you should be very careful before you destroy your expensive toy. Everyone should have an idea on how to flash and restore from a bad flash before they even root. Also as my sig says let Google be your friend people if you run into issues instead of running to a thread and clogging it up...
Thanks for post and this is a bump to keep it on page 1 and hopefully more people will notice it.

Can you boot into recovery at all? If you can.. download the TWRP 2.2.2.0 zip in its thread and flash it. Its going to hang in the install process but should say twrp has been installed. At that point reset your phone by holding the power button. As soon as you feel the phone vibrate hold down both volume buttons and you should boot into TWRP recovery.

Darkside superwipe will only mess your ROMs ability to reboot on touchwiz ROMs. The only way to fix this is flashing the darkside cache wipe which WILL break clockwork mod 6.0.1.4 like the user above. Point is.. don't use either scripts at all on CWM. Wipe the old fashioned way.

I just followed this and it answers many questions. I have great luck with CWR 5.0.2.7 and the darkside scripts. Everytime I had an issue, I would run the darkside cache script and all was fixed.
Now, since I upgraded CWR, I have had issues installing ROMS, bad recovery installs, etc. Just as you mentioned.
Got a new phone today. Flashed an odin CWR (didn't know the version). It turned out to be an older touch version. I CWR flashed the latest Sk8's recovery. I then followed your instructions. Installed JB ROM and Gapps and it was a success. Not boot loop.
Questions: What do I do if I want to wipe cache and dalvik or fix permissions in the future? What radio is recommended with the latest JB nightly?

Just go into CWM and wipe cache in the main menu and dalvik in the advanced menu. To be honest though you don't need to do this whatsoever. Only when dirty flashing a new nightly. In my experience atleast lol as far as gapps go..

If your on a US998 rom you'll probably need to do full wipe to flash this. Did you have data working on a US998 rom?

Yes. My last stock backup has full working everything. Rooted us99820e and with a ls998 modem, either restored or from a zip. I have no problem wiping or even formatting. I'd rather take extra steps and have it right. Thanks a lot for the response and the dev work!
Edit: added model#
@otroguero make sure your phone is already activated on Sprint. If not you need to flash 26A. That's the only ROM I know where you can activate your Sprint subscription.
After that you can just dirty flash to 30A.
Flashing works except microSD card. It keeps on saying that it is corrupted. Formatting on phone does not work. I even formatted my card twice on my computer. I have tested two other cards. This is definitely a problem with this ROM.

Did you do #3? Wipe also internal storage.
Odd because my 128gb microSD works fine.

I'm actually going to just do a clean flash right now! Yes I probably forgot to wipe internal storage.

The AnxiousV30 mods enable that but it breaks LG Backup to MicroSD Card.

Flashed dirty over 27a and hung on Sprint screen so I forced reboot and now have corrupted ext SD error?
When I flash back to 27a it goes away....

You need to do step 3, full wipe. Use LG Backup to sdcard for backup, them restore after flashing.

A full wipe should have nothing to do with the ext SD card?

For some reason 27a didn't play well with 30a. Full wipe is fix.
