I have CM7 installed (latest nightly). When I reboot to CWM 3.0.1.0 with the SD card I used to originally install CM7, I can wipe davlik cache as per normal use.
When I reboot my nook with N key and power without my CWM SD card inserted I can do everything in CWM that I have tried, except wipe the davlik cache. When I press wipe davlik cache the screen blips for a second then just stays on that menu choice screen that contains wipe davlik cache. I don't get the yes no accept screen and it doesnt appear to wipe the cache.
What am I doing wrong? I assume it is something I do not fundamentally understand about how CM7 works with the different partitions.
There was a trick to this I read before but don't remember where. Try going up in the menus and unmounting the cache filesystem before doing it. It was something like that. I did it once, it worked, and then I promptly forgot it
For anyone else having this problem, an update to 3.0.2.8 through rom manager did the trick.

When I am out in CWM recovery and go to wipe Dalvik Cache it says E:Info is WRONG all the time.
I have flashed a new firmware with odin , repartitioned and everything and still this error will not go away. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks
dalvik cache still clears.
working as intended.
error shows because your external sdcard is unpartitioned.
Running into issues while trying to install phiremod. Went into the recovery menu, followed instructions completely, it installed fine, rebooted device and it looped me back to recovery menu (CWR wasn't burned to SD, it was installed to the Nook). A few posts recommended that I format boot too, and now instead of having the recovery menu loop, I am stuck with a unit that doesn't power on. Help!
Same problem here. Followed the instructions to the letter, and now the Nook keeps booting to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen...even with the SD-card removed.
Is it that we were supposed to do something else to the Nook before attempting the install?
By the way, I used Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5 from the SD-card while installing.

May try wiping cache and dalvik cache if you haven't tried that already.
OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?
[NQUOTE=swordsaint;11459824]OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?[/QUOTE]
When you are in recovery, you have the option to wipe cache on the first screen. On the advanced screen you have the option to wipe dalvik cache. I am not totally sure, but I believe it is cache that is directly related to your apps. The other is more general in nature. Wipe both.
Also WTF. USB storage wont mount in Phiremod. What kind of **** is that?
OK, guys...I finally fixed it.
1st, I used the CWR Removal tool from this thread, and then went through
the installation steps carefully again, but after the install was completed,
I removed the SD-card, THEN rebooted.
Problem solved. (Didn't need to mess with the caches though)
Happily playing Angry Birds just now just for the heck of it.
Is there any way to access the Nook's internal storage to put music,
movie files, etc?
I am running CM7 from the SD card.
I used to be able to wipe cache and other data to fix the boot loop that occurs occasionally. Now with the new "Encore U-boot Menu by j4mm3r", there is no option to wipe data or clear cache. Does anybody know how to wipe cache by accessing the SD card directly under Linux? I tried to find /data/dalvik... but could not see that directory in any partition of the SDcard.
Thanks.

There wasn't ever an option to wipe cache in u-boot. The option was and still is in Clockworkmod recovery. Hold down power and N at the same time when booting (or choose to boot to recovery in the menu) and then you can clear the cache.

try /cache/dalvik-cache
You can clear it by using:
rn -rf /cache/dalvik-cache

Thanks for the hint. I used to hold down N to boot into recovery with the cache wipe option. I don't know when Encore U-boot menu was installed, but holding down N when booting now only gets me into the Encore U-boot menu and from there I can select either to boot 'Normal' or 'Recovery' or 'Alternative' from SD or EMM. If I select to boot into Recovery from SDcard, then the CM7 upgrade comes up and tries to find a new CM7 Encore package to install and looks for gapps package to install after that. If there no new CM7 package there, then it just shutdown and nothing changes.
Right now, if I boot in Normal mode from SDcard, I get into endless boot loop with the CM7 animation logo. I think that the ADW launcher is the problem but I can't find a way to clear it. Unfortunately I've loaded a bunch of stuffs over the time and do not want to start a fresh CM7 on SDcard, if possible. I used to just wipe cache and the next boot will be OK. Now I only get U-boot menu no matter what I do. How can I get into Clockworkmod recover again?
Thanks
Don't know if you ever got the answer... but I had the same problem. I think if you hold down the "n" button longer it gets into clockwork recovery rather than uboot.
What's the difference between doing a Factory Data Reset and doing a wipe using CWM.
I'recently rooted my Note and now have CWM installed.
I plan on trying a few different ROMs (both newer stock ROMs and eventually custom ROMs) and read in most instances to per a wipe before upgrading.
I was wondering which wipe to use.
Also, if I install Titanium Backup, will it save everything including Contacts, Network settings, icon layouts, webpage favorites, appa and everything else?
Thanks

Cant say surely about the difference between factory rest of data and CWM wipe. But can surely say to flash any rom you need to CWM wipe all the data and cache and dalvik cache from the recovery.
And Titanium Backup is for backing up and restoring all your apps and their associated data and market links. It doesn't backup contact (should auto backup to your google account or use any contact and sms backing app from market like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&feature=search_result) or
layouts . Icon layouts you can save by going to the backup settings of the launcher you are using and favorites you can again backup on your sd card.

CWM recovery wipe cache, is just wiping cache files not data
while CWM recovery wipe data n Hard reset from setting - privacy - erase data(factory reset) is same
CWM function is useful when you unable to boot device normally.
Where is dalvik cache located ? Because if it's in the data or cache partition, then I don't see why I have to wipe dalvik cache after wiping data/cache...

System apps' dalvik-cache in /cache
Data apps' dalvik-cache in /data
Hence just by clearing the cache you clean the /cache space of system apps and not the dalvik cache of data apps.
So you require to do both - clean cache and clean dalvik cache.

Factory Reset will change your Android ID. Some apps with custom DRM may stop working. Factory Reset is also incompatible with some ROMs and causes some apps/files installed by CWM flashable ROMs to disappear.
I think both are same. Both format data and cache partition.
(that is why devs warned not to perform FDR on affected kernels)
With FDR you initialise the command from booted phone.
CWM Wipe is what you do from recovery mode.

Hi, i just installed minicm 10 4.1.2 with swap and sd-ext partitions made in CWM. The problem is that the ext partition is not enabled. i can see it in partitions info, but id doesn't do Anything. All of my apps get installed on internal memory.
Pls help
Use link2sd from the store to move those apps to the sdext
Settings-performance-memory management-A2SD
reboot..
I selected dc2sd. The first tiem it booted, the screen said "Android is optimizing", and after that everything was ok. But when i tried to reboot i was stuck in a bootloop (was waiting for nearly 10 minutes on the cyanogen boot animation) :/
I cleared dalvik cache, and booted up again, again android is optimizing and everything force closes :/
EDIT: Solved it.
It's a matter of selecting dc2sd or a2sd BEFORE installing anything.
So a wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache did the work.
Clean install, than immediately select the a2sd metod in settings>performance>memory management
Funny thing thou when i try to see a2sd information, it always gives me error... oh well, at least it works.
Thnx Guys
