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.

Would be great if you did. always loved how it wiped 3 times. Made sure there wasn't any stupid stuff left behind on the phone.

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?

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.

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

from looking at the code yes it formats system. just to snip it out from the code itself
ui_print("FORMATTING System");
thanks man!
No toilet jokes please.
Had this phone for 3 days, coming from the Optimus V. When flashing a new ROM we would wipe cache partition and Dalvik, under mounts we would format everything except sd card. Is it the same on S2?
I've done a lot of reading here preparing to root and ROM my S2 and seen several methods. Is there one standard method?
There's a super wipe utility on the i727 thread. I use it and it works great for me. Doesn't wipe sd card or emmc. Worth checking out.

Then you should have no issues with youtube whatsoever uninstall reinstall or wipe wipe wipe reflash... Also I have had issues with youtube before it should ask for google permissions and to add your +1's and if you decline the application will not function... Just saying

Tried re-installing, clearing the cache, and clearing the data but the app still shuts down. I guess I'm going to need to reflash. Might as well flash a jelly bean rom instead.

Yeah, after your new ROM is installed, go into the android system properties under storage and you'll notice that you're usb partition isn't completely empty, so erase all that. This way when you install gapps it's fresh.

Having to wait 5 minutes before I can edit or post is annoying....
I wanted to mention earlier to also make sure you're using the GAPPS version that was recommended with your ROM. You probably got the GAPPs from a link in the same thread where you got your ROM, but wanted to mention in it just in case you didn't.

Maybe you think I told him to wipe SD from twrp. Which is not something i said to do. Assuming he doesn't need to back anything up, what could it hurt to erase the usb storage from the storage properties?
I did it myself an hour ago after I installed JellyBean. I'm pretty sure you're wrong when you say its unnecessary. But either way, I wasn't going to take any chances with having some old shared resources screw up a fresh install.
Erasing usb storage and wiping your sdcard are one and the same a completely unecessary step. the only wipes you need to perform on a regular basis when changing a system is factory reset, cache, dalvik, and system unless there happens to be something wrong with the sdcard itself and Im pretty sure your wrong about it being a needed step someone correct me if Im wrong....

You are making several incorrect assumptions and using them as a basis for your suggestion. That's what makes it wrong. Although it is true that no real harm would be done by wiping out the /sdcard storage space, it is in fact unnecessary. Apps installed by the user get placed in /data along with all of their settings and other files they needs to operate. The /sdcard is used to store files like audio, video, books, etc. Wiping /sdcard before or after installing gapps won't make it any more "fresh" than it would be otherwise.
I've been around this forum for a while and you are the first one I can remember to advocate wiping /sdcard after a flash. While your suggestion for the OP to make sure the right gapps package for the ROM gets flashed is appropriate, I'm going to say you are off the mark with this one. It's not going to come into play when troubleshooting the youtube issue.
Please end this little side discussion as it's not pertinent to the OP.
EDIT: To the OP - I don't remember which ROM it was, but I thought I read about some video problems in one of these. Have you checked the thread to see if others are having similar problems?

As I said, I've never flashed a custom rom before, I DESPERATELY want to, but have a few concerns… if anybody has enough patience to help answer a couple concerns I have, it would be GREATLY Appreciated, and in advance, I apologize for being such a noob, but I'm big time OCD and just worry alot.
1.Nusense6 is what I want. I'm on the latest 4.4.2 / sense 6 stock rom , s-off, bootloader unlocked, rooted. So I have all the required firmware /radios, right?
2.It says it supports the motion gestures with the included kernel, So that means when I flash the rom, it'll flash the required kernel, right?
3. By wiping the cache, dalvik, data, and system wouldn't that also delete my nandroid-THAT I may need if something goes wrong?
4.once I flash it, once I go to re-download my apps, will all my in app purchases be restored? Or better yet, if I backup with Titanium backup, wouldn't the wipe before I flash the rom wipe my backups???
Again, sorry im such a noob, I always swore id stay just stock rooted, but the features of this rom has convinced me otherwise.. Any help/ guidance would be SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

1. Good to go.
2. Yes, kernels are packed into boot.img's that get flashed with the Rom.
3. No. The data wipe in recovery does not touch your storage. You would have to choose wipe storage.
4. Your apps may or may not automatically restore...but they will be visible under my apps. Tibu will work perfectly if you do not wipe storage.
Happy flashing.

Yes to system. System is where the Rom stores the major workings. If you don't wipe, it will install new files alongside old ones and you will have some ill effects...if not major ones.
