ADB command to wipe data the phone?

Question

I have 200 Russian Phones to flash with UK Firmware. Now when i flash the UK firmware through Odin, it works fine but Russian firmware is still on it, however it does become UK if i factory reset the phone after that.

Now my question is that if there is any way where I don't have to factory reset the device and it automatically does it after Odin flash. That way I will save a lot of time.

I have tried these things:

• "adb --wipe_data", this doesn't work because I don't how to really send a command to Recovery.
• Cygwin terminal to break down firmware file into 4 file (AP, MODEM, BOOTLOADER and CSC). this doesn't work either.

Any help will be great. Many thanks

Answer 1

You can try this while the phones is on.

(You MUST have USB debugging enabled and authorized)

adb shell recovery --wipe_data

Answer 2

The arguments which may be supplied in the recovery.command file:

 *   --send_intent=anystring - write the text out to recovery.intent
 *   --update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file
 *   --wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot
 *   --wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot
 *   --set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs

Step 7 Turn on your Android phone and connect it to a USB port on your computer. Type “adb shell” and press “Enter.” When ADB connects to your device, type “--wipe_data” and press “Enter.” Your phone restarts in recovery mode and restores Android to factory settings.

But judging from your question the way you where doing the wipe command via adb was wrong.The way you where doing it was: "adb --wipe_data" where's you should try "adb shell" and then "--wipe_data"

A the list of arguments include:

• The arguments which may be supplied in the recovery.command file: * --send_intent=anystring - write the text out to recovery.intent * --update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file * --wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot * --wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot * --set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs
