REQ Prime Super Wipe! - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Can someone zip up a Prime SuperWipe? Im having some problems with roms not functioning the correct way after flash i still cant use home key or tap the time for the setting shortcut. I was flashing my phone just now and i saw it also formats the .android secure. and I realized that i dont remember seeing that get wiped with the current reset clears. anyone know how to do it manually?
Thanks in Advance

Not unlocked yet, but I certainly +1
Will need a SuperWipe.

I could never understand whole superwipe, thing. How is it different to wipe from recovery?
And chefs could always include a script to get wipe done automatically in the rom, if wipe is required.

Because then it's just 1 process to wipe everything.
And some things that may need clearing out aren't in cache/data?
And as to the cooking in auto-wipe, that would be OK if it was used only when needed, but most likely something like that would then be included regardless and then you'd wipe even if you didn't need to.

lol, have to say. I regularly check back on these forums and cannot believe how many posts you post in. Your everywhere! Get a job! I've been here since 2006 and only have 50 odd.
Kidding mate, but it makes me laugh.....

It takes more clicks to get to siperwipe and start it than to wipe data and caches manually. I don't get the point, but each to its own I guess.

Not sure what a "SuperWipe" does exactly, but here is a script I made when I was having issues switching from different ROMS... It formats:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 - /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 - /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 - /data
*** WARNING ***
Use this file at your own risk...
Be sure to backup any data you would like to keep, this script formats your internal SD and anything that lives on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (/data)

Doesn't CWM include every command you need to completely wipe your TFP before flashing a new rom?
I just got my TFP and I am going to wait a month or so before voiding my warranty by flashing a rom so I do not know what CWM options show for the TFP. On my phone, CWM can wipe user data/factory reset/format; wipe cache partition; wipe Dalvik cache; clear battery stats.

Nope It did not in my situation, I tried CWM "wipe user data/factory reset", cleared all stats and cache.. there was still stuff left over in "/data" I believe..
And all the ROMS I have come across do not format "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8",
it's Most likely because:
"/data (which is mmcblk8) contains also /data/media/" which actually is your sdcard. So wiping /data also wipes the sdcard - @Diamondback

I'm a little nervous for formatting with that. Wont it also format the internal SD? Would kind of delete the rom i was trying to flash?

Hmm strange..
What ROM are you trying to install? I can make a update-script for it that will do the wipe then install the ROM in one shot if you like..?
Or you can just do it your self...
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. open the ROM(zip file) up with 7-zip or something comparable
2. browse to: META-INF\com\google\android\
3. extract the update-script file to your desktop
4. open the "update-script" with text editor (I use Notepad++)
5. Find the section where it does the formating (You will see something like: format("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1"); )
6. Now add the following lines from the quotes (before the section that formats the system):
CACHE
ui_print("Formatting cache: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ext4");
format("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-m", "0", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DATA
ui_print("Formatting data: /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 ext4");
format("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");
run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-m", "0", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");

Just the internal SDcard, you would need to use a "external sdcard" which is located somewhere in "/dev/block/vold/" (It won't touch the external sd)

I install tons of apps and therefore it takes an unknown amount of time every time I manually wipe all three. I don't want to have to baby-sit my phone for 5 minutes just to wipe three directories, so I run SuperWipeG2+; then my phone can be unattended and will vibrate me to alert me the format is finished and recovery is rebooting. Then I proceed with flashing/restoring/whatever.

Ok i was under the impression that you could not flash a rom from external sdcard.
\MicroSD\Rom\jermaine151_9.4.2.15.zip is where it is on my external sd card.

here is a update script ONLY for: jermaine151_9.4.2.15
It will format /data
Just remove the ".txt" extension and drag it into the zip file:
jermaine151_9.4.2.15.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\

I was able to get my pad working again by modifing that jermaine151 updater-script. i changed the mmcblk1 to 2 and i did not see a format for the mmcblk08 so i changed the mount to a format and added the run command. Crossed my fingers and prayed i did not end up with a huge brick lol. It seemed to flash really fast. then i realized i had keys back to working and rom functioning correctly again. i then factory reset and went to flash the jermaine again but the sdcard was empty lol. had to go back and move a unmodified copy of jermaine to my now factory restored sdcard and reflashed all is well in the Stealtheee house again ! YAY ! Thanks so much. all the normal formats in the world were doing jack didily.
