I'm new to android and am wondering if there were any tools available to port the full_wipe.zip from the desire hd/inspire 4g to the vivid. It's a great tool that I used on the inspire and will reduce the issues that a lot of users might run into for this device. The later versions even gave the ability to format all of the memory to EXT4. I'm willing to work on a version if someone is able to point me in the right direction.
Edit: this tool might also be an option as a replacement to our current recovery.

not really sure i understand the need for it?
this is an inspire/dhd script:
Code:
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("-------------------------------- ");
ui_print("| FULL WIPE v 1.5 |");
ui_print("| Fixed For Ext4 |");
ui_print("| Mero01 |");
ui_print("-------------------------------- ");
ui_print(" ");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("-Checking Model ID");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ace" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "ace" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "ace");
ui_print("-Success!");
ui_print("-Model ID - HTC Ace");
ui_print("-Ok to proceed");
ui_print("Now preparing for a clean install of any EXT4 ROM ");
ui_print("Please be patient");
ui_print("1st boot may take a few minutes");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);
ui_print("-Formatting Data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26");
ui_print("-Formatting System");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");
ui_print("-Writing System");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.400000, 0);
ui_print("-Formatting Cache");
assert(unmount("/cache"), ui_print("/cache unmounted"));
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");
delete_recursive("/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("FULL WIPE COMPLETE =]");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Make SURE YOU INSTALL A ROM...");
ui_print("Make SURE YOU INSTALL A ROM...");
ui_print("Make SURE YOU INSTALL A ROM...");
unmount("/system");
all it does is print lines and format the following:
/data
/system
/cache
and it goes an extra step and deletes a directory on your sdcard that looks non-volatile....
this is just one of the scripts i had from my inspire days....im sure there are others...
but the real deal is this:
/system is always formatted during a rom install
/cache usually is also, but not always
if you do a wipe/factory reset, it formats /data and /cache
so redundant wipe is redundant....
Would the custom ext4 recovery be a better option? It has the same features as cwm recovery but also adds the wipe functions of the script. I prefer the custom recovery but am not sure to where to start.

since nobody has created an ext4 recovery for our device, its not even close to viable yet
but i dont think you get what im saying.....those functions are INCLUDED in the recovery we have....
wipe data/factory reset will wipe /data and /cache
installing a rom, formats and loads /system
why does anyone feel the need for another script that does the same thing that you can do with one option in recovery?

Follow the superguide ROM flashing guide and you won't need a script like this. Wipe cache, data, dalvik.

I'm attempting to make an install script for a couple of mods just as before on the Droid X. Unfortunately I'm getting different errors at different times. One of the errors is (Status 0)... and the other is (Status 6).
Also, Mount says that it expects 4 args, got 3.
What changed?

You need to use the right Syntax to mount /system . Best way... Busybox.
run program("/sbin/busybox" , "mount", "/system");

So... I've tried this.... and I get....
Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 6)
For Shi*s and giggles... I just did a test script.
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Mount Bionic Script...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Doing Something.......");
ui_print("Installing Files");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("** Unmounting System **");
unmount("/system");
This errors out. I have the META-INF folder from another Bionic update that someone else created, so I'm assuming that the files within (other than the script) will work as is.
Here is my mod script and update-binary. Make the appropriate folders for your mod and give it a go.
Case and spacing is essential as I am sure you know.

Ugh... same error. I only deleted your package extract. I'm using 7-zip and just doing store. Is that still the preferred method?

What is it installing if there is no package extract?
I don't use 7zip, I just compress in linux... Couldn't really say in that.

I plan on doing the install later, but I just wanted to do a test script without install. Just some "Hello World" text to make sure I got something going on.
I even just did that....
ui_print("Hello World");
Gave me the same error!
Ok.... so.... It is now working after a reboot of Recovery. Don't ask me why. And I am using standard windows zipping.
Hi All,
is there any super wipe script that i can wipe all the thing i have ?
something like this , is it possible ?
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/dbdata");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data");
delete_recursive("/etc");

Aloha community,
after 3 years of using an iphone i switched back to android with a new shiny z3 compact aka aries.
while staying in touch with android by developing apps and rooting/flashing a few phone from friends i am a bit out of ideas when it comes to my new phone...
what i did so far:
rooted phone,
backed up ta-partition
opened bootloader
installed cwm-recoverey by doomlord
tried to flash cm 12 (edited update-script to allow 'aries') -> install aborts without error message
tried to flash cm 11 -> black screen after reboot need to refresh boot.img in fast boot and restore android from backup
tried aosp 5.0.2 -> works fine but no detection of SIM, Camera, no root... i will wait for the official release from sony.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since i want to get rid of the whole sony bloatware (which is a pain to remove manually on the phone) and also don't want to do it every time i need to reboot + want to offer the opportunity to others to install a relatively clean rom i tried to make my own rom based on the cwm backup...
therefore i copied the boot.img from the backup + the extracted system.ext4.tar folder in a new folder.
I removed all apps i didn't want / added others
I copied the META-Inf from the DRM-resoter zip and edited the updates-script.
it now reads:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Deleting /system ");
ui_print(" ");
delete("/system/*");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Extracting Files ");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Setting Permissions ");
ui_print(" ");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/priv-app");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Unmounting System ");
ui_print(" ");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("------------------------------------------");
ui_print(" Finished ");
ui_print("------------------------------------------");
i stored the folder as a zip and signed it. Now it should be a flashable rom...
when i try to install it with cwm recovery the installation aborts.
the Log says:
Code:
-- Installing: /storage/sdcard1/custom-signed.zip
Finding update package...
I: Update location: /storage/sdcard1/custom-signed.zip
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I: using /data/media for /sdacrd/0/clockworkmod/.last_install_path.
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/msn_sdcc.2/mmc_host
can someone tell me where i did something wrong?
if anyone likes to have a look at the rom:
Code:
archy.no-ip.org/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=bf55a79f9d9660641b115db5da352f5f
I hope you guys can help me!
Greetings
i think i could describe my problem better, updated the start post
Hi mates, I need your help, thank you!
I would use my old phone (g900v cdi11 locked bootloader) as a videosurvelliance camera, to do that I need that it can reboot automatically if battery runs out and power appears again. To do that I need to change lpm file inside /system/bin folder, switch off phone, plug the power abd check if script lpm file works, if not edit it and check again. . To do that I have these ideas:
1) flash a rooted LL rom, and use a root file manager and overwhite lpm file, is it that easy and possible?
2) Boot on safestrap (which I've already installed and accessible flashing the KK bootloader with Odin, the version is about 2.7.4, don't remember exactly) and chage from there, but the SS file manager don't see any files, probably it's running not rooted (??), maybe /system not mounted, and I don't know all the Unix command I've to type in console to edit lpm or overwrite it, or eventually with ADB.. it copied but in reality I don't know where, it's not /system/bin.
3) so I need to "flash"/install a .zip file containg the /system/bin/lpm file, but for doing this I need a script, which is actually what I'm asking here
4) Any other ideas? Please remember I have a cid11 g900v, so no root on MM, and some other complications unfortunately.
For the script I've tried to arrange from one SS installation, and I tried to save only these lines, but I'm not sure it will do the job, the idea is to create a zip file with system/bin/lpm file and META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file:
Code:
ui_print("*************************************");
ui_print("* Change lpm *");
ui_print("*************************************");
ui_print("");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("Writing System Files");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.600000);
ui_print("Setting Permissions...");
ui_print(" ");
#PERM
set_metadata_recursive("/system/bin", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "dmode", 0755, "fmode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "u:object_r:system_file:s0");
ui_print("------> Done!");
unmount("/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Installation complete ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
What is missing eventually?
Thank you!
By the time I solved flashing every time the whole rom (exploded, edited and repacked in Windows), boot It and wit its installation.
It still interesting to read your suggestions, thank you
