I can confirm the same as above:

Easiest to move the rom.zip to the same directory as your adb. I rename it as well to something short so its easier as most of the roms have some LONGGGGG names.

1. go to the directory where its stored

2. open the command window (hold down shift and right click for the menu option to appear Open command window here) for us windows users. :)

3. use the command as follows: adb push rom.zip /data/media/ with rom.zip being the name of course.

4. as stated above - be sure to include the / after media .. it did not work for me without it.

5. give it a few and it shows up.

enjoy the cleaned out Prime..

thanks for making this zip. it helped clear out tons of junk for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rushing:
can somebody clarify for linux

I want to clear my prime for a fresh start someday soon.

I know how to use adb but am no master... with that said I almost always push a rom to my phone or prime with adb...

>>I have Linux mint.....

My real question is.. Where do we push a rom to exactly?( after this wipe)

for linux::: using virtuousprime.zip as an example rom...

Here is what I understand.

1. Install primefullwipe.zip in cwm

2. Reboot prime after install .zip so adb works/connects

3? push rom from linux os to TFP (here is the question)

adb push /home/virtuousprime.zip/ /here is the question/

if it goes to /sdcard/ that would be normal..

Just want an exact place to push this rom to after reading all the prior posts I am not sure for linux

Also I have tried to go into CWR and adb remount the prime. no success I then "rebooted into recovery"while in recovery and the prime just rebooted normally.not to recovery.. I was pretending to have already wiped and then was going to see if windows sees the prime with adb in CWR.. cause I have never done this before.. Ill try it under linux now... rebooting into linux mint now

okay so I didnt flash the wipe but just tried to remount while in CWR with linux and it was a no go...

after the TFP began to boot it mounted first try...

Just thought I would try connecting the device while in CWR for practice... for this to work do you need to do the wipe???...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
Is it just me thinking this or did it actually speed up the ROM? Either way, I like it. Been using it for hours after flashing and it just seems faster.

I installed the wipe

& Now i cant push rom/file to sdcard(internal memory)

the transfer was ok but in CWM > install zip from sdcard i got

couldn't open directory

no files found

how can i transfer files / format the internal mem ?

any solution

im semi bricked for now cause i don't have rom on my TFP :(

tried also via quickadb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Ok try this.

Adb push "put your Rom here without the quotes" /data/media/

Don't forget the space between you Rom .zip and /data/media/

I just drag and drop the Rom into the command window so you don't have to type it all in.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rushing:
Okay so, the Rom should be pushed to /data/media/ and that Is the final destination..okay thanks I'll try this eventually thanks..

Just formatted the /system last night in CWM for a clean start:beer:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Yes that how I did it. /system/app/ sent the file but recovery couldn't find it.

What is your exact command you are typing in adb?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Sometimes, CWM won't see the file unless you reboot and re-enter recovery after transferring it. I'm rather confused that you are asking how to format the internal memory, as that is exactly what this zip is for. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
@doktaphex. I noticed I am getting a cornerstone ghost still after the flash. Not sure if any body else has this problem.

What I mean is when I flashed a cornerstone Rom it would push the screen to the left side for the window. It still does that whenever I flash a new Rom. I haven't loaded a cornerstone Rom since I flashed your zip.

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Interesting, I have still never tried a cornerstone ROM. This should not happen. I will have to try a corner stone ROM tonight and see if I can replicate the issue.

I also just re-read all the issues and then looked at my instructions in the OP. Sorry for all the problems guys. I have updated the op to include the "/" at the end of the push command. I wonder why I missed it out in the first place.

Strange things afoot. :D

I am running some backups now and will download cornerstone.

EDIT: Any chance of a screenshot to see the problem that you are having?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
OK, so to anyone that has had problems pushing a new rom to the SD card after using this zip file. I have found some rather odd behaviour that sometimes occurs when formatting the Prime.

After many hours of testing yesterday, I found that when using CWM I simply couldn't push a file to the sdcard no matter whether I was pushing to "/sdcard/" or "/data/media/"

The only way I was able to get a rom onto the sd card was to eventually flash TWRP using fastboot and push the file after booting into TWRP. However after doing so and then getting a rom installed on the Prime, when looking through the file structure with Root explorer I found that the sdcard symlink had not actually been re-created properly, the file was there, but it was not showing as a folder, and as such, I believe that this is where the problem some people are having stems from.

The only solution that I found was to re-flash the full-wipe.zip again in TWRP and then push a rom onto the sdcard again. After successfully getting back into a working rom, I checked out the file structure and the alias had been properly re-created this time.

The behaviour is very weird and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. However, if you have had issues pushing to the sd card after using my zip, I can only apologise for your worry.

I am going to put the zip back up, and I will also add this post to the first post.

I hope that the above makes sense and helps people out who feel that they are now up sh*t creak without a paddle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
It only happens when it starts up so Im not able to get a ss. Since I flashed your zip it has not given me a "cornerstone has stopped working" error but the screen push to the left is still there. Just thought Id let you know. Cornerstone must go deep in the system.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Does it exhibit this behaviour as soon as you flash a new rom?

It is totally impossible for this to happen, unless you're restoring apps and system settings with TiBU.

There's a possibility something weird is happening through google restore also.

If you're using TiBU, go through your backup and get rid of anything related to cornerstone.

The zip "FORMATS" the partitions, ie. leaves no trace of anything on them.

If you're restoring system settings in TiBU then you are always gonna be in trouble.

If you can, please get me a logcat and PM it to me. If you don't know how to, let me know.

We'll get this sorted, don't worry. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
In very desperate situations I've used a camera (my rezound) or instructed others to so that I could see what they saw or vice versa. With something like this you might give that a shot so Doktaphex can better understand exactly where the problem lies. Because just reading the description it's hard to picture what you're saying although I'm familiar with cornerstone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
No I don't restore anything. I uncheck the google backup as soon as I sign in. Yes it happens when I flash a new Rom. Actually that's where I normally see it is at first boot. Like I said I'm not getting th error message anymore but the ghost screen is there on first boot. Sorry I should have said that in the beginning. I try and get you the logcat as soon as I figure that out. Lol

EDIT: I'm going to do a full wipe and flash a new Rom and show you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rushing:
So... Is there an easier possible set of successful instruction s that one could post... Because I don't use fastboot.

It sounds like perhaps if you had twrp installed prior to flashing this wipe zip, then you wouldn't have to install it

Via fast boot and all the trouble is n9ne..

0r would this.Zip erase twrp as well?

Seems like adb is no longer important?

Sent from the Beer in your goblet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Hmmm, want to give this a try soon... but just to be sure.

The not being able to push to sd card is a CWM issue and the only solution is having TWPR instead of CWM? There is no way to fix it using CWM?

Let me see first if I have the same issue of not being able to push to the sdcard (Is it a consistent CWM issue?)

*Edit*

Ok, can push to and pull from /sdcard/ in CWM at the moment so guess I should be fine... Never used fastboot so don't look forward to having to rely on that one ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
To be clear, the issue that I mention in the op is not caused by CWM, it is caused by the Prime, you may have no problems what-so-ever, it was simply an issue that I ran into during one of my test runs after other people had reported some strange issues. The zip will definitely NOT wipe any recovery partition, as then you really would have a brick.

Nope not a CWM issue, a Prime issue. I have made a note of that at the end of the first post now. Sorry, should have been clearer. The Prime is a funny old fruit, and it is always going to have weird issues, there is no getting around that.

The funny thing is, that the functionality in my zip is already in CWM it's just that this way, you only need to flash a zip, as I said originally, I'm a bit lazy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
The OP states:

Is this as simple as powering off from TWRP after flashing this zip, then turning the Prime back on? Or, does the "manual" reboot into recovery need to be done from adb?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
As simple as power off, then boot up into recovery as you normally would ie. "power and volume -"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Hey bud I tried several times to get a pic of the screen push but it happened at different times so no luck. But I flashed a cornerstone rom again anyway so oh well.

The system runs a lot smoother after flashing this. Thanks again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I'm still rather confused as to how your Prime is retaining some kind of info regarding cornerstone. The only thing that I can suggest if to make sure you set it to not come on at startup and try the whole process again to see if it still happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
It's not a big deal. It's only the screen push since I flashed your zip. Before that I was getting "cornerstone has stopped working" error even if I did a full wipe and flashed say virtuous Rom. But it runs a lot smoother now so thank you for this again. I will flash this again though because I flashed a cornerstone Rom again yesterday and its still not stable enough for me.

sent from my bad a** EVO LTE.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
This is very interesting and should be looked into further. It seems that indeed cornerstone may well be somehow getting into partitions other than the expected ones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Did you ever flash one yourself? Cornerstone rom I mean.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I did, and I have had no issues since doing so. I sort of half-liked cornerstone and half-hated it. I simply don't have a need for it.

But as I said, I have had no issues whatsoever since doing so.

I really would like to have a look at a logcat from your device.

You can get one by first of all powering off the Prime so that we get one from boot.

After this you would boot as normal, and then plug in your Prime to your pc, navigate to your adb folder and type the following command.

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

After this the logcat should be in your adb folder on your comp. PM it to me if you would be so kind.

life saver

what i actually did to make it easy. i put the file in platform-tools folder where the adb is. then i rename the zip to a short name example i used prime.zip then i typed this in the cmd window. (adb push prime.zip /sdcard/prime.zip) and it worked like a charm. had problems with one computer say **** like protocal error and server not starting. went to a windows xp laptop copied the folder prime-tools to it and place the folder on c:\ the root. then open cmd. and typed cd\platform-tools

and then adb push prime.zip /sdcard/prime.zip and that was all she wrote
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Did you guys find anything on this post-cornerstone screenpush? I´m having the same issue! Have flashed this zip several times. It doesn´t bother me to much now but would be nice to get rid of it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Well we found out it is what the Rom's do when starting up the first time. So no problems. As long as you are not getting the "cornerstone has stopped working" error I was getting prior to using the wipe all zip. The screen push is normal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Ok, that sounds fair, I just never noticed this until after I ran a cornerstone rom so I thought there was a connection! Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Just a note make sure that all Asus process are killed on your PC. I forgot that and adb would not start properly because of it. Press, ctrl, shift and esc together and see if process like Asus sync and cloud are running and kill them. Also kill adb if it is running and start over.

Edit: It took 4.5min to push AndroWook

My Full Wipe Method

This is what I have experienced, I can't explain why it works but the method I have learnt through trial and error will get a ROM onto the Prime after using Prime-Full-Wipe.

1. After running full wipe, and rebooting recovery it always just hangs on the Asus screen (no blue bar has appeared). I force it to reboot into recovery (power+down button, then up button).

2. When CWM is loaded, I see the log error, so do reset, wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats (probably not all needed but a 'habit' I have used for years of flashing!). If you reboot recovery (optional), it still hangs but the log error has gone.

3. Push a small file across the Prime via adb - I normally just repush the Prime-Full-Wipe file as it is small (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)

4. (This next steps seems to make the difference). Try to install zip from file - it wont find anything and you think it hasn't worked. I think this does something to the file structure or directory building, it wont appear but will work next time you push a file

5. Repeat step 3 and voila when you do navigate to where you want to install the file from it will be listed. You should now see the Prime-Full-Wipe.zip or whichever zip you pushed. You could have pushed the ROM at step 3 but it takes a lot longer to push than just a small test file.

6. Now push the actual ROM, install and profit.

As I said, I am not sure why this works for me but it does. Its the only consistent way I have managed to avoid that ominous feeling that I have just bricked my prime (which of course you have not!)

Just want to say thanks for Prime-Full-Wipe.zip - I do use it every time I switch ROMs (which seems to be far too common!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I had a similar experience last night, previously I had no problems in cwm but last night I couldn't even push prime-full-wipe so I did what the OP suggested, fastboot, install trwp, adb the wipe, wipe again, reboot, push rom... everything golden now but no explaination as to why this worked in the past and failed last night..... The twrp route does work though so no big issue...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tangiers:
A word of warning. No matter what driver I used for TFP on Windows 64 I couldn't get adb to see my device (it was there in Device manager and seemed to respond if I unticked debugging by shutting the adb shell down but wouldn't do more, no matter which of the several drivers I used).

I could only get adb to work on an old XP net book.

The adb push worked by trying to install and after getting nothing, repushing using /sdcard/.

I got adb to see my device on Windows 64 before I flashed a custom rom and didn't change anything on the PC before having these problems.

YESSS :good: finally did it!

after lots and lots of reading finally did my Prime-Wull-Wipe routine with success :highfive:

AndroWook v2 is running amazingly fast

...but OP state that we have to

adb push /path/to/rom.zip /sdcard/

I did it with

adb push [B]xxx[/B].zip /sdcard/
[I][B]xxx[/B] is the name of the file you have renamed [/I]

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrazythunder:
This is so dangerous and if you have issues getting a rom to push to the sdcard you will have hours of headache trying to get it to push correctly and could wind up not being able to push a rom. It seems there are too many issues surrounding getting a proper push via adb. Even though you can get a push there is still a possibility that you may be unsuccessful at which you would really be screwed. The risk versus reward is too great to use this especially if you are a newb and do not have a good working knowledge of adb. In addition this really does nothing more than just going into your sdcard and deleting the contents of the sdcard directory. There is nothing hidden in the sdcard directory that deleting manually versus wiping with this zip will remove. Deleting the contents manually will still preserve the directory and you can copy a rom to install from an external sdcard easily. There is nothing left over from a manual delete that will cause issues or system slow downs nor anything hidden that a deletion will miss. Just wipe everything (system, data, caches) once you are in recovery before you install your rom and you have accomplished the same thing. Your rom will run just as quick as if you used the wipe zip without running the risk of bricking your device if you have problems getting a rom to push via adb. Again there is no benefit wiping with this zip versus deleting your sdcard manually. Not saying that this wipe zip doesn't work and adb push doesn't work nor am I saying that this is a bad piece of development. Props to the developer who created this. But based on the responses to the thread and the issues people were having with the adb push and the edits by the OP having to assist people with the push it seems to risky. But if you like to take chances and are savvy enough then by all means go for it. Just know there is no advantage to doing this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
The above statement is not completely true. Wiping the system and caches does not wipe everything. If you don't believe me then flash a cornerstone build, let it run for a bit. Then try to delete the whole Rom without using this zip. Let me know how many errors you get when the new Rom flashes. There is something that the recovery is not wiping and this zip was the only thing that cleared it up for me. As far as pushing a Rom goes. There are acouple of different ways to push a Rom to the prime. All of which can be found in this thread. Doktaphex has given us a great tool here. I for one thank him constently for this. Just my observation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goenieg:
I agree, he provided us with a nice tool, free, and as for any tool you gotta know what you are doing with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrazythunder:
it is true...you didn't comprehend what i wrote. I never stated that this was not useful just dangerous. I also gave the dev props. There are ways to accomplish the same thing without the risk of potential issues that may leave you bricked if you cannot adb push a ROM to flash. I have also flashed ROMs multiple times after using cornerstone builds without issue by just wiping the required partitions via recovery (specifically TWRP). The issues you had after coming from a cornerstone build were as you stated....issues that you experienced. If this did not wipe your internal SD it would be much safer. I can see how this might be something someone would want to do but just deleting the internal SD works just as well and you don't have to worry about an ADB push being unsuccessful. It is cool that the dev provided this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
I just used another method of deleting and it was found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772967

Basically go into bootloader and surpass recovery to where u see 3 icons

Select the wipe

and when its done, your rom will be installed but thats it!

Nothing on the internal sd and no data or apps!

Worked perfect to get access to download again

Just make sure u have a working rom on your device
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Ok I did misunderstand. I wasn't the only one having issue's with cornerstone not being completely wiped with recovery. But that was also with an earlier version of twrp so that might have been the problem. But all my issues cleared up once I flashed this zip. I have used it several times without issue. Ofcourse the first Rom push never seems to go correctly, I always have to push it a second time.
