Can this script be made into a flashable zip for CWM?
I want try it to unbrick my phone.

ui_print("Performing Wipe...");
ui_print("Mounting mount points...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock4", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock2", "/boot");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
ui_print("Wiping BOOT, CACHE, DATA, SYSTEM");
delete_recursive("/boot");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data");
delete_recursive("/system");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
ui_print("Unmounting mount points...");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/cache");
ui_print("Wipe Complete.");

Also, why not just wipe those partitions manually in cwm. Just go to advanced and select 'format' for each of those partitions. Keep in mind that if you wipe system and/or boot, your phone will not boot up.

Also, each time you flash a rom it will wipe /system and then copy files to it. It will also overwrite the /boot as well. The only thing you would need to do manually is wipe data/factory reset to wipe the /data and /cache.

If your phone is soft bricked, just wipe and re-flash a rom.

here is the situation:
I hosed my /data partition.
My f3 can't connect to a PC anymore (not recognized), some hardware thing or related to this sitatuion, so I cant run adb on it to fix my /data mount issue I am having. I can flash a rom but it won't boot because of this.

So to summarize:
My usb to pc doesn't work (it will charge though and it's not a driver thing)
CWM flashes a rom error free.
A reboot after flash goes back into cwm recovery.
A nand restore in cwm doesn't fail, but only flashes a couple of files in system and then it's done.
Everything mounts fine except /data in CWM recovery.
The general fix is just a filesystem tweak by erasing userdata via fastboot.
I can't use fastboot due to my usb to pc issue.

Help?
Flashable zip would be my only hope to easily save this phone.
My theory is that my internal memory "/data?" is corrupted and can't be mounted. My fault I believe. lol
 
I see you're posting the same thing in multiple locations. Don't do that. That's a quick way to loose my attention.
 
Then post in one location and don't repeat the question. I'm not going to help you if you post the same question in multiple locations.
