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.

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 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.
Does anyone have any advice? My system was very stable, then I upgraded my uboot and flashed the 3.1 beta. The beta performed terribly, so I flashed back to the build in the title, and now all these force closes. I did install Pure Messenger and Pulse in the meantime and put up some widgets.
I'm planning to try out Phiremod on eMMC and see how that works out, but if there's a fix for this issue, I'd like to try it out. I have CWM on eMMC, but I'm thinking if I clear caches in there, it will be the caches in my stock OS install on eMMC, correct? Can I point it to the SD install?

Boot into Clockwork. Under Mounts / Storage wipe cache, then go into "advanced" and wipe dalvik cache (will cause your device to lock & need hard reboot). Then boot your machine as normal. Load time will be a little on the long side because your Nook will be rebuilding cache...perfectly normal. This has to be done when going back to the stables from the Beta CM7.

But again, with CWM on eMMC and CM7 on SD, won't that wipe the caches for the stock install on eMMC rather than for CM7?
That method did not work, btw, I'm guessing because it wasn't wiping the caches for the ROM on the card. Any way to do this for a verygreen SD install?

In terminal emulator, su then rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
Just go to settings, applications, manage application, in the all tab, find "media storage" if I remembered correctly, then go in and clear data, reboot then you should be fine.

ok. so i was running medroid 6.1 on my nexus fine, then i went to go update it to medroidmodremix 1.2.1 and i wiped dalvic cache but not user data.. first it would not even turn on, then i booted into recovery and i fully wiped everything cache, dalvic, system data, user data etc.. then i got boot loops on the medroid boot logo. it would restart after 10 mins and boot loop again. i then booted into recovery and deleted everything and wiped dalvic cache and updated to medroid 1.3. and it still is boot looping..
please help
ps: it gets pass the x logo but loops at the medroid logo and reboots.
Normally, it would reboot three times at the X logo after wiping dalvik since it has to move it back to sd-ext, but since it's looping at the medroid logo, something else is amiss.
My first guess would be that you might have to repartition your sdcard. There shouldn't be any problems with your hboot partition scheme as it would have looped at the X logo if that was the problem.
Thanks for the reply.
and im kinda a n00b at this stuff.. How would I partition my sd card. I tried doing it with the recovery in my nexus but it always fails.. im running windows 7.

Do like this:
1. Download and flash 4ext recovery. It's pretty much the only recovery to actually make good partitions.
2. Boot into the recovery.
3. Mount USB storage and connect your phone to your PC
4. Copy-paste everything from your sdcard to your PC
5. Unmount the USB storage and enter the partition menu and partition to ext2. Choose 512mb for the first partition, 0mb for swap and 0mb for the second partition and leave the rest for fat (or fat 32)
6. Now mount USB storage again and this time copy-paste everything back to your sdcard.
That should do it.
Oh, and download and install this .apk to automatically download 4ext recovery and future versions of it. It's the free and somewhat limited version. There is a paid version in the market for all features.

how do i flash 4ext recovery when my nexus doesnt turn on?
how do i flash 4ext recovery my nexus doesnt get past medroid logo.

Ah, worry not! Simply reboot your phone into fastboot mode and plug your phone to your computer. Make sure you have ADB set up correctly and fastboot drivers installed.
Then go to the folder where you have a fastboot.exe and shift-right click and select open command windowd here. Then make sure you have your recovery in that folder and the type:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where to download
where can i download the recovery from. 4ext is a .apk. please provide link
