If you opened up the zip file, and viewed the script you would see that it only nukes the boot, cache, and system partitions. It doesn't touch wimax at all.

I have used the zip dozens and dozens of times. It works great! It definitely does not wipe your wi-max partition, but you should have it backed up and off the phone anyway.

what???
I am confused by this post.
if you are using the newest amon recovery you can back up your wimax partition by itself. just an fyi thing so you don't have to worry about it. or if you have a sense based rom backed up previously from older amon recovery it should have the wimax backed up so you could just restore that to get your key back.

Doesnt the latest Clockwork backup Wi-Max as well?
Caulkin has created a Format all zip for the E4GT like we had with the OG Evo (Does not touch your sdcard(s))
1.Run zip file in recovery prior to flashing roms
2.Flash your favorite rom
3.Enjoy stress free no FC's goodness
Enjoy and Thanks Caulkin - make sure you guys thank him
*** All I am doing is posting the zip as it was sent to me. This zip is not anything I created***
**As always use at your own risk**

Quickly and reliably, I might add.
Perhaps CWM is all fixed, perhaps those problems were isolated to only the Evo4G version...but...I just cannot stop being suspicious of CWM ever since. Amon Ra FTW....though I can't wait for TWRP.

Sorry for the noobish question, but I never owned the EVO 4G so I'm not entirely certain what this does. So I'm guessing this eliminates the need to Format /system under mounts and storage, and wipe data in CWM prior to flashing a new ROM? What about the caches? Also, I guess you install this ZIP in CWM each time you want to do a wipe?
Thanks in advance.

Excellent, thank you. This now has it's own cozy little nook on my sd card.
So glad to see that Caulkin has made his way over to the Galaxy S II!
Can't wait to see the ROMs he starts cranking out!
could someone please confirm that this eliminates the need to format /system manually?
I understand that it formats data/cache/dalvik cache, but as you know, if you don't actually format /system before flashing a rom on this phone, you are asking for trouble.
thank you
Grabbing this for when I do root to make things easier. Thanks for the post

Is there such thing as a superwipe zip for our Note II?
I've been a long time flasher rom fanatic on HTC. First time going to Samsung. I was wondering if there's such thing as a superwipe available for easy flashing. Thanks
Does anyone know if we can use superwipe created by HTC Rom Devs?
Or is there a superwipe for samsung note?
I've never heard of superwipe. Maybe if you describe it, someone can help if there is a way.

it's a zip file that does the wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system all in one flash... use this instead of manually wiping each category. good for flash junkies.

No real point, but a fast easy way to prep for a flash, and does prevent accidental wipes of unintended sections. (surprisingly, it actually happens. I swear I see one on the q&a section every other week, "HELP!1! I wiped my xxx and now brick!")

well it's slightly more complicated with the gn2 as apposed to older htc devices as you cant just mount the data partition and format it like you used to could as it will wipe all of your internal storage as well and a few other things.
zoot has already done this for the N7100. i will modify it to work with the SPH-L900. gimmie a few. in the mean time. read this thread so you;ll know what you are getting into when you do it. but DO NOT use the file as the partitions are different for the N7100

gotcha. It would be nice if TWRP has a spot for doing both cache and dalvick at the same time before flashing, rather than after.
On a side note, is it still necessary to do it three times prior to flashing? I do it out of habit now.
What is superwipe? And how use it?

I have N7100 but in menu in Storage info I have total space only 5,52 GB.

There are only about 10-11 GB available as internal storage by default. The rest 5-6Gb are not available for the user. So you probably have a few games installed, if you want more storage then there are a few things you can do. One is uninstall apps you don't need and the second one is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796

Hmm, I got your PM. This I have never seen before. Your TOTAL storage only shows 5.something GB of storage. There is something wrong indeed...
Did you buy this Note 2 as a new device in a shop?
It was a gift. when i found this problem i tried flash new official ROM for my region with ODIN and no change.

Ok, this is really weird. Maybe someone else knows if it is even possible to partition the internal memory of a phone. Because that could be the cause of you only seeing a part of the total storage. BUT as I said, I don't know if that is possible, or if someone did that to your device.
IF that actually IS the case, then as far as I know, only formatting the internal storage could restore the total amount back to normal.
To do that, you'd need Clockworkmod recovery I think.
BUT again: If someone could enlighten me and the OP I would be grateful.

First you have to root your phone, look here http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/
Then use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489 and use MEGAwipe
And then you have to install a new ROM, and I suggest getting the OMEGA ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915036
in combination with PERSEUS Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852 which in my opinion is the best, most stable and safest kernel.

You are welcome, I hope you'll get all your storage capacity back. Please feel free to contact me, I'll do my best to assist you. You know that you can always get a backup app like MYBACKUP Pro to back up all your important data, call logs, apps etc. then copy them to a PC, if you have access to one. Then afterwards you can restore all the SMS, call logs, apps, etc.
It is always a good Idea to have a backup of your important data before you wipe everything
So for now, just get a backup app and do as much of a backup as you can. Then when you are ready to root you have to do a nandroid backup with CWM as soon as you can. But we'll get there when it's time.

First of all... I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a CLONE of the Note II that only has 8G of storage in it. Can you put up screenshots of the device and also have you checked under the battery, etc for information on the device?
Until you are 100% sure this is a REAL Note II - DO NOT do ANYTHING to try and root, etc or you will end up with a BRICK!

Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable
