Is there an app or program that'll allow me to wipe all data from phone and SD card that'll make it impossible to recover? Want too sell the phone but not have the buyer be able to recover data from storage.

.... you can use this to wipe the phone and restore to stock.... this will guide you through wiping internal and or external storage......... most "normal" users will not be able to recover any data after using this.....
There are other methods available to more securely wipe and make even more advanced data recovery difficult ... if you are interested in that "deep" of a wipe it can be discussed ....gif)

Try getting the Disk Digger App. Preferrably the pro version. Then delete everything off of your device from there. You will need root for this. I am not sure how much you know about phones or computers in general. However, there is always ways to pull up information and nothing is deleted until it is overwritten a few times. A truely powerful computer program called Autopsy is amazing for computer forensics and was able to resore information from a waterlogged wiped phone. So, if you really don't want to risk it don't sell it.

Yeah. Deeper file deletion is preferred but probably not worth the hassle. I don't care that much...
