This is a tool originally developed by Zoot1 a developer on xda-developers.com.
All I have done, with his permission, is to modify it for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I wish to thank him very much for allowing me to do this. You can visit his original development link at Zoot1 Wipe Scripts for Flashaholics.
USE THIS AT YOUR RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AN DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, ANY ARGUMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE, LOST BANK ACCOUNTS, NEW REVOLUTIONS OR ACTS OF GOD.
You MUST have the following installed in order to use this tool:
1. CWM or TWRP Recovery installed
2. Busybox installed
What the tool does:
1. Megawipe: Use this to completely format your phone. It will delete everything on your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After using it, install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the framework.It deletes the Data (except data/media), Cache, System and Preload partitions of your phone. So Beware!
2. 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 Dalvik Cache, Preload, System and Cache partitions of your phone. Does NOT delete your data files.
3. Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition (except data/media), Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache.
4. SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests. A Simple Cache and Dalvik cache 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 to flash a new ROM.
Updated Sept. 23, 2015 - v1.2 for N900/N9005 - Note: I only have an N900.
Changes: Sept. 23, 2015
- modified wiping of data partition to skip data/media (your internal SDCard)
- expanded text for the different wipes to give more information about the wipe choices
- NOTE: the only difference between the 2 scripts is the partition numbers for the N900 and the N9005

so the mega wipe wipes interal sdcard as well? is there anyway to edit that so the script only wipes data/system/cache/dalvik, and leaves sdcard intact?

The MegaWipe DOES NOT wipe internal sdcard. Having looked at the original script, it never did.

Mega Wipe does not delete your internal partition? Because in Samsung Galaxy S 3 i remember this script "reformat" your preload internal partition! the word "reformat" i put it in quotes because i don`t know exactly how to say it in english! Anyway i must thank you for your hard work!
Nice. If I understand this correctly this is like the Darkside wipes (and now Infamous wipes) for GSII. I used those all the time on my phone. Easiest way to wipe without worry. Thanks. I was hoping for this for the Note 3.

Can you send the partition layout for the N9005 so I can check the partition numbers?
If you do not know what they are, there is a free partition layout app on the PlayStore you can install.
It is called Partition Table by Lakshman.
I need the following:
/data
/preload
/system
/cache
Also, what do you mean it is not working? what happens when you run it?
can you give me the name of the application? and when I flash the zip it's still about 10%
so if I have the full menu. superwipe, megawipe .... with cwm 6.0.4.4

Attached are three recovery flashable wiping tools I use when doing my work.
I find them to be incredibly useful tools that save some power button & volume rocker mashing, and time.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik - Wipes Cache and Dalvik (duh!)
Useful for:
-Flashing GApps
-Resolving app issues
Wipe Full - Wipes Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System
-Wipes just about all data except internal sd card
-Stops just short of a factory reset (does not wipe media)
-Useful for flashing ROMs within a type (e.g. going from one CM ROM to another CM ROM)
Wipe Full Factory Reset - Wipes Cache, Dalvik, Data, System, and internal sd card
-Useful when going from one ROM type to another (e.g. going from CM to TW)
_____________________
This is the part of the updater-script that selectively wipes /data in case anyone wants to add this to their ROM:
Code:
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/app");
delete_recursive("/data/app-asec");
delete_recursive("/data/app-private");
delete_recursive("/data/backup");
delete_recursive("/data/data");

delete_recursive("/data/log");
delete_recursive("/data/misc");
delete_recursive("/data/property");
delete_recursive("/data/system");
delete_recursive("/data/time");

Changing the code above to the code below effectively performs a factory reset
(look at /data/media and you will see your internal sd card)
Code:
delete_recursive("/data");

Thannk you we were long due for a format all zip
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII
I added a full wipe with factory reset zip to the OP and updated the post to reflect the changes.
About to test with twrp. Anyone else use them yet, or will I be taking them on their maiden voyage with the BETTER recovery?
Edit: would you be interested in making a fourth one for those of us who are OCD? Davlik, cache, and (complete) factory reset, wiping everything but the SD card, saving the super wipe script of yours for flashing to/from different rom bases (tw to aosp/cm).

Confirmed working on TWRP.
What you ask for is what the full wipe zip does. Any directories that I haven't added to the script are usually empty, or are regenerated during install of a new ROM.
If you find anything I missed let me know and I will update the script.

To help improve the quality of both the development and general sections, I decided to have this thread moved to the general section.
Just giving you a heads up in case you need to find it.
kennyglass123 will be moving this thread soon.
I know I'm grave digging, but I'm not sure where else to put this. I've found a way to wipe everything in /data/ except media. I've tested and it works in TWRP but I'm not sure how it works in CWM. Here's the line:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "find /data/* -maxdepth 0 -type d ! -name 'media' -exec rm -rf {} +");

Wipe Full Factory Reset
WILL THIS DESTROY MY PHONE FROM BOOTING?
Simple as that. When i try to format data im TWRP it says ''failed''. It's the latest version. Also, isto the wipe data option same as factory reset?
I believe that Wipe Data wipes the /data/ partition with the exeption of the /data/media/ partition.
/data/media/ is basically the internal storage (/sdcard/) directory.
Not sure why it failed. What ROM did you previously have installed?
What method did you use to install TWRP?

Hmm, not sure why it is giving you that error.
IMO, you should not need to format the DATA partition very often. I would try flashing your new ROM after wiping Cache, Davlik, System and Factory Reset.

Thanks manje!
I have been addicted to flashing new ROMs almost every other day. On moving to SGS4, I started searching for a flashable zip that will do an extensive wiping for me without bothering me with wipe Data, wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik etc.
I thought I will make one for myself. now that I have made and used it, I want to share it with others.
There are 4 wipe types in aroma Package:
1) MegaWipe
2) SuperWipe
3) SimpleWipe
4) Factory Reset
All 4 serve different purposes.
1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 have a ROM to install on the ExtSdcard when you use it.
Requirements: You need to have
1. CWM Recovery installed
2. Busybox installed

My current CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

2) wipe cache partition
3) wipe dalvik cache
4) install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10. 1-20130603-UNOFFICIAL-trebon.zip

Been using it for like 3 weeks. Awesome one.
Problems:
Camera flash. Fix: Install Xposed installer and look for flashlight fixer in the download section.
RAM is 392MB compared to Speedmod KitKat which has 433MB
None other I know of.
I would like to wipe internal storage to make better/clean install of the ROM (
with old S3 i make a folder on Ext SD with .zip file
reboot to cwm
backup
wipe all (cache + data + system + internal storage)
install (rom + gapps + kernel)
reboot
As you know on 1+ there is no Ext Sd
Someone has already tried to do:
copy .zip file to a folder on PC
reboot to TWRP (2.8.0.1)
make a backup
connect phone to pc and mount data
copy backup from 1+ to Pc
advanced wipe (cache + data + system + internal storage)
copy .zip file from PC to 1+
install (rom + gapps + kernel)
reboot
Can it work?
P.s. I have no OTG cable or USB
You should be able to wipe everything and install the Rom-Zip via ADB-Push.
Why dont you try to install the new rom in recovery with a normal wipe and after you falsh the rom + gapps do a wipe of the internal sdcard should have the same affect ?
are you out of your mind? DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL!!! WIPE SYSTEM AND DATA ONLY

Wow. Interesting thread. However, I wipe my internal storage (for a "full" wipe) everytime I flash a new rom or even the weekly of a same rom and luckily I haven't ran into the problems in your thread.
to the OP: I put all of my zip files in a USB otg so flashing is a bit simpler. This includes all of my nandroid and media.
I would wait to wipe the internal storage until you figure out which route you want to use (USB-otg or ADB)
Until then a normal factory reset in your recovery should be good. Also as @Hogyoku metioned you can erase internal from within the Rom to get the same effect.

That's not wise. You should never wipe internal plain and simple. All that s required for full wipe is system and data. If you continue doing so, you're going to find out the hard way one day

who ever is saying to wipe internal doesn't know what they're doing. This is the last I will mention of this here. There is no need and it's dangerous. That's how efs and the persist files get wiped and you find yourself in some serious trouble.
when installing a rom all that is needed is wipe data and system. Not cache, not dalvik and certainly not internal.
So many people have a misconception on how to properly wipe and everything seems to think they need to wipe caches on top of system and data. Well guess what, when you wipe system and data the caches get wiped too so it's just an extra unneeded step. And some people will post crap saying to wipe 3 times when flashing etc. They are simply making things up

This is complete bull****. Internal wipe will NEVER destroy anything it just wipes the whole /data/ instead of leaving /data/media. If you want your usb storage / internal sdcard / whatever you call it to be erased that's the one to choose. For a complete clean install:
1. BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT EVER NEED AGAIN.
2. Grab ROM and GAPPS and put it on internal storage
3. Boot recovery and wipe DATA, SYSTEM, CACHE (dalvik is not needed because it's located on /data)
3. Flash ROM and GAPPS
4. Wipe internal storage
5. Stop talking about things you don't know correctly

Omg man you are not helping things here. Do you think its just a coincidence that everyone with these bricks wiped internal?
Considering I found the fix to this issue I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. But nice try.
Anyway I'm done here. I came here to help people recover from their bricks which I have done.

That's really nice of you that you did that guide. But there is no way that bricks could have to do with that wipe. There is no way an internal wipe could corrupt any other partition than /data/ (efs, persist anything) beside of a bug in the recovery. Wiped internal several times on every phone and also the OPO with TWRP 2.8.0.1 and as you can see it's still running.

This is complete bull****. Internal wipe will NEVER destroy anything it just wipes the whole /data/ instead of leaving /data/media. If you want your usb storage / internal sdcard / whatever you call it to be erased that's the one to choose. For a complete clean install:
1. BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT EVER NEED AGAIN.
2. Grab ROM and GAPPS and put it on internal storage
3. Boot recovery and wipe DATA, SYSTEM, CACHE (dalvik is not needed because it's located on /data)
3. Flash ROM and GAPPS
4. Wipe internal storage
5. Stop talking about things you don't know correctly

Although you are right about this I still think it ain't smart to advice this on this forum. A lot of noobs around here, much more than in any sub forum of a phone I ever owned.[emoji6]
