As the title says, is there any program that works like Task29?
Thanks.

ok..i'm not familiar with task29 but a quick romp through google gives me what I think could be a general idea. basically a memory wiper of sorts? I think you're looking for clockworkMod Recovery friend. head over to the android dev section and do a search to find what you need. I hope this helps.

It's not. Task29 is erasing everything. Then reconfigure/reparytition NAND then that's the time for CWM.

I believe partitions are baked into either the recovery or hboot partition. To rearrange or resize partitions will require a flash of one of those... never messed with it too much with my G1 but there was quite a bit of development in this area. Not sure if its the same on other phones.

Yeah. But at least, we know that when flashing a new rom, there would be no left overs.

That sounds like the kind of thing you would need ADB for. Maybe NVFlash.

I guess. Because if we can have programs like the Task29, we can assure that there will be no leftovers from previously flashed rom. Eventually, lesser issues when flashing new roms.

i mean, sounds like a good plan to me. i'd like to try the jailbreak but i'm absolutely not downgrading my phone, even if i could find an old rom
i'd try to do it myself, but i'd need pretty straight forward direction
hmm, maybe i'm out of my league xD
i'm using liberated froyo fr008 and the default kernel. can i flash an old kernel?
i mean, without effecting the current rom/system?
anyway, i like liberated but i'ma check out cyanogen now and see what its like =)
I believe the default kernel for liberated let's you overclock and keep your trackball wake and WiFi hotspot also. Previous kernels you would lose all that. Maybe I'm wrong?

Hey guys, I've been reading XDA for about a month now, and I think I'm ready to flash CM7. I've already rooted with superoneclick, but I don't have the money now to get a new phone if I brick, so I was hoping someone could just check my plan to make sure that I'm good to go? I've read the tutorials, but I want to be positive that I'm ok. I think that if I generate a list [without looking at the tutorial], rather than just copying theirs, I'll be sure that I understand the steps 100%.
Procedure:
-Root the phone (done)
-install nvflash on computer, and then clockworkmod to phone
-backup the NAND with clockworkmod (is that like the wii, where the NAND is specific to the device itself?)
-move the NAND to the computer for safe keeping
-install titanium backup > backup all apps > move to computer for safety
-flash rom from SD card
I've flashed a few roms onto an android tablet before, but I didn't backup the NAND when I did...
Will give "thanks" to each reply
You pretty much have it down the main thing to remember is to nvflash BC if not you will not be able to get into recovery. Also before flashing the rom you have to wipe data/cache/and dalvic cache. Let me know if this makes sense I'm at work so I don't really have time to go into detail lol

Ah, yeah, I forgot about the clear cache bit- I remember doing that when I flashed the tablet. Thanks a bunch man, I just finished, and it worked great!
I'm glad everything worked out lemme know if there's anything else u need

also if u want to just install a kernel after the rom is installed just wipe cache then dalvik then install kernel....no need to wipe data
Also, depending on the rom, you also may need to flash gapps. With Faux or CM, you will. I believe with Bionix and Eagleblood it is included (someone correct me if I am wrong).
After flashing, it is always best practice to run a fix permissions in clockworkmod.

Ah, yeah, I figured that one out. I couldn't figure out where the market was! And then I read...
What's the fix permissions thing? Is that the option in the CM settings that said something like "don't turn this on and then report bugs, because it'll break some apps" ?
Fix permissions is in the advanced menu in cwm recovery.

Don't forget to clear the cache before you flash
thederekjay; recognized dev from over in the T-Mobile forum (and many other places), has posted a custom full wipe script to be flashed each time before flashing a new rom. PLEASE READ HIS THREAD for full details...link below...

"After it is complete with format and erase, it will align all disks partitions properly"
I don't doubt it works great, but partition stuff makes me nervous.
It doesnt touch any internal or external memory.

Samsungs get finicky when you start messing with the partitions. I don't think Orlando was referring to the internal/next memory more so the boot and system partitions etc

I'm not knocking it, just voiced a concern. if it has worked for you multiple times i dont doubt it validity. i will most likely use it next time i flash a new rom.
My skyrocket has only had crazy fc's once but seems like some are more susceptible to the fc's more than others. Wgich leads back to a subpar version of cwm...if running this script before flashing prevents crazy fc's, then it's a pretty big deal for our device. Mostly as a supplement to a cwm that requires wiping all partitions 3 times each in HOPES of a clean wipe.

Can this script be added to the CWM touch version that was created. It seems that the CWM touch still has the same problem of not completely wiping data from the SkyRocket. If this script were to be incorporated into it, it might solve the CWM "wipe" problem?
wow thank you for the link. total time saver.
Its a cwm flashable zip...it should work I would think.

so much better than having to flash back to odin
I flashed a custom rom + kernal on my kindle fire it went by really smoothly and was a simple process..
Is doing it on the skyrocket different? Can flashing a rom get you a hard brick?
Also I'm thinking about a rom to flash where I can turn off LTE ( not in my area a huge battery waste ), but it sais I need to flash a new modem or radio or something.. dufuq is that?

Any time you flash anything you risk a brick. It's uncommon, if you know what you're doing, but it happens. Almost Every ROM has specific instructions for flashing.
And make sure you do a nandroid backup first.

Yes, that's what a nandroid is.
Wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Buddy, you need to stop what you're doing and read for a few days before flashing.

I just made sure I did everything exactly it said and am now running a flashed rom
Do you know how warm I feel inside to see someone that actually READS?
And to clarify on ROM flashing, what happens is your internal storage is partitioned I to several parts. When you flash, you write to those partitions. For example, when you flash a recovery, it writes an image to that partition, similar to burning an ISO onto a CD. Hope that makes stuff a little clearer... so yes, if you're not careful, you're going to screw yourself over by telling your processor to do something it doesn't understand. It's like if I suddenly told you to go make me a sandwich in Chinese. Unless you understand Chinese, you would freak out and get confused.

What is the best way to install CWM on my TF300T, I am on the 4.2 bootloader, and I tried to put the CORRECT JB 4.2 version of TWRP 2.5.0 and it is like a split screen and will not function. Some time before that it asked for a password when I booted the recovery. I just want to start fresh with Clockwork Mod I guess.
Please point me in the correct direction.
Thank you

Not to be a douche but use the search function. And use twrp. Cwm is too buggy on the tf300. Its very easy for it to bug out and brick your pad.

If you searched you would have seen all your questions are answered in the stickies. Also you would have seen twrp is recommended over cwm due to cwm bricking devices. I'm sure you would prefer that not to happen.

Update to the most recent boot loader. I'm trying to tell you. You have to use twrp. Cwm bricks the tf300t while flashing ROMs. Everyone advises not to use it. I don't even think there's a guide here for it since its too much of a liability. If your getting a split screen you are doing something wrong. Reading everything and doing everything exactly right is the name of the game here. The tf300 is way to easy to brick. If your having problems just installing a custom recovery your best to just stay away from flashing on this device. You have to pay attention to boot loader version and firmware version or you are going to get errors. Your lucky you haven't hard bricked yet.
I know what I'm talking about. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

This is defiantly one of the most sensitive device to do everything on. Asus wasn't to friendly. Its like they want you to brick. And my bad about the rudeness extreme lack of sleep has made me very irritable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Indeed flashing cwm is another way to brick the TF300. Lucky you didn't flash it.
The problem is that the latest bootloader changes the partition table on the TF300 - it makes /system larger in order to accommodate the larger Asus ROM. The issue is most of the legacy recoveries including the non 4.2 twrp and cwm don't understand this and thus the device becomes bricked as the partition table is now messed up.
