If you really want it wiped I would recommend flashing a recovery.img
with adb and then actually format the partition from the recovery adb
shell ... and perhaps zero it with dd or some such a few times if you
really fear the wear levelling (grabbing data out of there is more work
than just recovering a formatted filesystem though, I would doubt anyone
does that effort unless you are excpeted to have really valuable info
for them on the phone)
