Given permission by mike1986. to port over his SuperWipe script from his ARHD ROMs. So all credits to him and his team.
Thanks to blazingwolf for testing!
SuperWipe is used to clean your current phone partitions to make it ready for a brand new ROM version to be installed.

So before you flash any ROMs, flash the SuperWipe script in recovery. It will wipe out the partitions and reboot back into recovery. Make sure you flash a ROM or else you can't boot up! (Unless you flash an RUU)

so instead of having to manually wipe before a new ROM, can just flash this in recovery?
bad ass, thanks man.
I miss the "wipe all function" back in the modified CWM recovery for inc2 lol.

Do NOT use this on any phone except for the Droid Incredible 4G LTE. You can brick your phone for erasing the wrong partitions!
Im curious. If i use the wipe function on my recovery would this be necessary? I have been told that the wipe from that is more than enough and that im ignorant to believe otherwise.
On another note, i used this and it didnt boot back into recovery. I had to manually boot into bootloader to get back. Kinda scared me for a second.
It worked fine tho, just that it booted to a black screen.

Hi guys I am new here and I can write into this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
So here is my problem...
I made a zip file following the instructions here. The only difference is I need to put files into data (but there was an answer in the topic how to make it so.. I renamed the folder system to data and changed the script)
My script looks like this
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
ui_print("Enjoy!");
I put the .zip file into mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and tried to use titanium backup to run it...
But it always crashes when I click the file sample.zip
Whats wrong?Can I use other apps to start it?

what are you trying to do? Install an app?
[DEV DISCUSSION]
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY IDEAS FROM Dees_Troy and TEAMWIN, and they can ease much of our procedures.
Guys,
I was thinking about it long and hard and i think i may have a system in mind where we never need to connect to a PC before flashing ROMs. Roms are meant to flash boot.img but the limitation of recovery partition forces us to do this via fastboot. Ok, here's what i have in mind.
Pre-requisites:
1. You should have a working ROM installed on your phone.
2. You should have superuser or root.
3. You should have my custom made recovery.
4. You should have the app. Say "xyz" (actually its htcdumlock but i'm going somewhere a bit different, so i'll modify it a bit.)
Procedure:
1. You're in your ROM and you run the app, The app "xyz" runs a script which does three things. (Dump boot to sdcard, dump recovery to sdcard, flash recovery to boot) and reboot.
2. It automatically boots to recovery, where you flash your desired ROM (which will also flash the boot), but this ROM zip also runs another script during installation to flash recovery to recovery.No need
3. We now have boot in boot, recovery in recovery and a reboot takes us to our newly installed ROM.
What i need from ROM chefs:
1. Do some test trials with me, by including some scripts which i will provide.
2. Implement these features in future ROM releases so that we can get rid of fastboot for the time being.
3. HELP me in building the said app in above points.
Trust me, once its implemented properly, i think it will be less of a hassle then our current procedure.
What a noob will see:
1. YOU RUN AN APP WHICH TAKES YOU TO RECOVERY. (HE CAN BACKUP HERE JUST FOR SAFETY)
2. YOU FLASH ROM.
3. YOU REBOOT and Voila !!! New Rom is there.
NOTE:
All comments are welcome, but i would prefer if only those people comment which understood the steps.
Regards
Yasir
That's a great idea! And I'd be glad to help making the app

Did you tried change the kernel with dd ? Is it working? (I didn't try it yet.) If not, i think no way to change kernel without pc.
Ok, i need a very simple app, which has a single button.
When i press the button, it runs a script. I am making that script, but until then , please create that app if you can.
Also, there will be some files which will be included in the app as prebuilts. They will be copied to system before running the script.
1. Button press
2. App copies some files to a location
3. App runs some scripts
4. Auto reboot
For now, this is the target.

Dont worry, i m not doing what you are saying. I'm essentially doing the dumlock method but automating it enough so that Desire X users dont need PC. the app will do the initial (flash boot to recovery.) Users installing from this recovery will flash rom, during which the kernel will also be flashed and reboot. Thats it. I'm pretty sure it will work coz a recovery flashed on boot can alter all partitions. (and i am using ICS kernel in the recovery.)

Someone make me a flashable zip, which contains this in the updater-Script:
Code:
ui_print("Please wait, boot.img being flashed...");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
show_progress(0.1, 10);
ui_print("It is now safe to reboot! :)");
The zip should contain a boot.img (anything, nexuskernel, prototype kernel or any other) and preferably nothing else.
I wanna try flashing this zip on my phone.

Hmmm, that just might work. Thanks for the heads up.
I know this thing is possible because 4ext recovery is doing this just fine in its SmartFlash feature. HTC dumlock so far isnt working, but i'm reading more and more.
Once it is completed, all our fastboot problems will be over.

Hello everyone!
I am trying learning how to create cwm flashable items. I have some questions though.
While i was trying to see how an updater-script was made, i edited some scripts from cwm for themes, wallpapers etc.
I saw that some files have:
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");
What does it stand for? Which is the difference between mmcblk0p2,mmcblk0p10 and mmcblk0p12?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Thhey are the mount points for the memory, they are different for each device. If you have some that work for your device that point to the system partition, then just use them. Changing them will mean you will get a bootloop, or the mod wont flash

It may help understand the structure and how to use edify. I'm on mobile right now so it may be a bit tough to look at your current .zip but if you don't have an answer by the time I get to a PC I'll have a look
But I will say off hand what youre trying to do will be fairly easy.
Grab a ROM that works for your phone
Extract the contents of the zip
Get rid of everything but the META-INF folder
Go to the updater-script
Erase all and write your own (if on windows use notepad++)
What you will need to do is mount system, then say where to take the app from and where to put it
Then have it fix permissions
The unmount system
Now zip it up with your app
Sign

See HERE.
so just had a look at you .zip
youre missing your updater script and update-binary
so again, take this from a recent rom from your device and put them in META-INF
so file structure
META-INF/com/google/android and here put those two files
and your updater script should be simple, something like
Code:
ui_print("mounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("fbutton/system", "/system");
ui_print("setting permissions");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
ui_print("unmounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
but feel free to edit in whatever or define the actual system partition, your choice
best of luck!

you have an extra folder, META-INF ans system folders should not be inside lite
if you open your zip youll see what i mean
so rezip these two folders, sign then flash through recovery
also you may need to add a chmod for permissions in your updater-script - either just for new app or all of system, either way will work

just took a look at it, you have it searching for flite/system which does not exist so change this
package_extract_dir("flite/system", "/system");
to
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
in your updater-script
at this point all should work fine, if not let me know!
Can anybody point me out how to create a CWM flashable zip? i did find a lot of topics, but i've noticed that any ZIP package has to be phone specific, at least a glimpse on the updater-script showed me partition names which i am very unfamiliar with.
The simplest method gives you a zip file where all you have to do is put system.img, boot.img and recovery.img on it, and a very basic script (i think):
Code:
ui_print("Starting ...");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Boot Partition Writing ...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");
ui_print("System Partition Writing ... ");
package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15");
ui_print("Recovery Partition Writing ... ");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13");
ui_print("Pass");
ui_print("Wipe data & Cache & Dalvik and reboot system ");
however, the code above, i found it on the GT-i9001 threads, so i dont want to risk anything...especially with the partition blocks.
the point of this thread is to convert our odin packages to cwm flshable zips, though the reason behind it is trying to flash a 4.2 rom from a identical device as ours, in fact, it is the same device, for more info check this thread
i think it's already exist now

however, the code above, i found it on the GT-i9001 threads, so i dont want to risk anything...especially with the partition blocks.
the point of this thread is to convert our odin packages to cwm flshable zips, though the reason behind it is trying to flash a 4.2 rom from a identical device as ours, in fact, it is the same device, for more info check this thread
