You would just flash the super wipe zip file in recovery mode before you flash the rom

Superwipe is a script in a .zip container. This script will erase and format your data, system and cache partition. Flash as a rom.

I've never been fully clear as to how Super Wipe is preferable to the similar option in ClockworkMod Recovery. Is it that much more thorough? Does it wipe important areas that aren't covered by the recovery menu option?

I believe cwm wipes data and system partition, and you can separately wipe the cache partition.
This Superwipe will erase and format your data, system and cache partition.
So i think it's more thorough.

thanks for the explanation

[Q] Super Wipe

I want install another ROM like HyperSensation-CM7.1-v0.6 , am i need a superwipe before installing it?
I'm just confused because i always wipe it manually with cwm, what's the different? somebody said using superwipe can make phone bricked
and can you tell me from who the best superwipe script i can get ?

Useing super wipe will knot Bricke your phone however you should backup your ROM before you do a wipe after backing up your ROM do a wipe useing clockwork mod and wipe you're delvek and wipe battery stats and then super wipe when super wipe is finished go to the down load folder in clockwork mod that is and install the ROM you have down loaded and your set

Superwipe is only necessary when flashing roms with different builds. Buy not necessary if flashing an upgrade over an existing ROM. I.e. (1.1-1.2) or what have you
You can grab a great superwipe from the revolution link in my signature. But as always suggested... nand back up before flashing ANYTHING.
Good luck boss

what makes superwipe necessary when flashing between different builds?

i will try with superwipe from ARHD lol

I've tested several different roms and used superwipe between them. Never had a problem

Basically the build is the base of the ROM. When you flash an update the base is the same so removing it to add the same one back isn't necessary.
However
flashing a ROM with a different build is using a different base to build the structure. Which requires a superwipe to get rid of the residual bits and pieces of the old ROM.
Think of it as you using a one glass to drink milk, chocolate milk and orange.juice out of...
You would start with milk, drink it. Would you then pour orange juice without rinsing your cup out? No but you would pour chocolate milk without rinsing first.
Then you would rinse and pour orange juice.
Same concept.
Rinse=superwipe

Sounds like snake oil to me. I've never done a superwipe and never needed to. If I'm switching ROMs or flashing an update that requires a full wipe I do the normal set of wipes in recovery plus I format the system partition. Always worked fine for me.

And that's all you every need to do. Superwipe is just a one click solution. If you format system (not factory reset) you just did the same thing more or less. Some scripts mess with other partitions but that, under most circumstances, is totally unnecessary.

Also, its been my observation that the flash scripts of the good roms will format the system if the release was not intended as an incremental update.

So: SuperWipe is a one click solution for Wiping
So in other words if you do a manual wipe, like the old style wiping, its the same thing, just a little more techy.
Great! *stick to old style*

No boot... Phone crash..

Okay, my HTC Sensation does not boot at all. Even when i run the stock Firmware... It has S-OFF Revolutionary... The only ROM that works is the ViperS and that also comes along with the issue that says com.android.phone has stopped working, along with that the wifi does not work... I've tried EVERYTHING! Can anyone help me please?!

Make sure you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33. Also download 4ext recovery.It's a great recovery and really easy to use.you're soff so you should after doing those things be able to place Rom at root of sd card, do wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik then install from sd card and reboot. Make sure to have your nandroid backup to be safe. You shouldn't have a issue after doing these things.

I've flashed both 3.23 and 3.33 and still no progress and also i already have that recovery..... And i never did a nandroid backup so i'm stuck!

OK try to wipe everything aside from your sdcard from recovery. Then Install the rom twice, then reboot. Also have you used the superwipe script? Some roms, mostly aosp/aokp roms are not compatible with it. Let us know

did you do a clean install? it also happened to me when i was using my old micro sd. try changing microsd and use authentic one's. there are people who say's they install it on a branded micro sd but failed to boot. maybe they are using fake sd card. no offense meant, but try to buy sd card on authorized dealers.

Assuming you performed a clean flash including system and cache wipe, correct? I've had super stable roms (specifically mmuzzy) flash wrong for me. I've just had to go back, wipe everything again, and reflash. Can't explain why it happens but sometimes it does. Knowing that you probably haven't set a ton of stuff up yet I'd just re-wipe and re-flash.
Hope that helps.

super wipe script or manual super wipe. For me that super wipe script doesn't seem to work. I just do it manually. cache, dalvic, and factory reset.
I should also state my phone is a galaxy nexus, so it might be different for you. Best of luck.

Selling my one x

I'll be selling my phone in the next few days. My question is being that its s off, boot loader unlocked and rooted what is the best way for me to make sure none of my personal data is kept on the phone? I'm not going to return it back to stock because the buyer wants it in its current state. Thanks for any replies..

I would wipe the sd and if you haven't already reflash whatever rom u are running. That should do it.

In the wipe section you should see sd card. Reflash your rom after u wipe sd

Yes, do a full wipe in TWRP. After that you can mount the SD card, move a Rom over and flash the Rom (follow the directions for the Rom you choose.) Do NOT do a wipe from the bootloader. It will corrupt your memory.

As well as wiping your own data you should really return the stock to completely stock instead of just reflashing the ROM. Never sell a modified phone unless it's specifically requested that way.

To be clear, the option to wipe the SD in TWRP just formats the "virtual SD" (user accessible) partition. You should definitely also wipe Data (factory reset) as that is where most of your personal info is stored. For that matter, wipe everything in the Advanced Wipe options of TWRP, to be safe. I think that is what Madcat8686 meant above when he said "full wipe", but he wasn't explicit, either.
