• /dev/block/sda31 is /vendor
• /dev/block/sda33 is /system

• /dev/block/sda32 is /vendor
• /dev/block/sda34 is /system

• /dev/block/sda35 is /data and /sdcard

• Formatting can be done from either Slot A or B

umount '/data' '/sdcard' '/system' '/vendor'

• This will format and erase all content on Slot A's /system partition

echo "Formatting Slot A's /system partition..." && make_ext4fs -v '/dev/block/sda33' && echo 'Done'

• This will format and erase all content on Slot B's /system partition

echo "Formatting Slot B's /system partition..." && make_ext4fs -v '/dev/block/sda34' && echo 'Done'

• This will format and erase all content on the /data partition

echo "Formatting /data partition..." && make_ext4fs -v '/dev/block/sda35' && echo 'Done'

• This can be done from either Slot A or B
• This checks the filesystem and fixes any issues with it

umount '/data' '/sdcard' '/system' '/vendor'
