[Q] No wipe cache in Encore U-boot menu

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.

I cant flash my Galaxy mini ..

I have a problem with my android ..
I Downloaded latest CM7 ROM to SD Card
Rebooted to Recovery Mode

Have you done "wipe\Reset factory data" and wipe system cache?????
try to go to cwm wipe your data, install cm7 once again. then reboot.
should be nothing wrong after that.
You try to wipe data, and wipe cache, before you install romnya

[Q] Miui ROM?

Right, ive rooted my note, and im looking for an iPhone type Miui theme rom, ive looked at how to install the new rom and i have no idea what to do, it says that i cant flash on stock ICS ROM, currently running 4.0.1 atm, and it also says something about Aroma Installer. i am a big newb when it comes to this, i dont wanna f**k my phone up so can someone help me and tell me what to do please?
Firstly remove the stock kernel, thats what it is referring to, So flash something safe like Philz or Hydracore.
And also, Aroma installer is something that will appear when flashing via CWM, it is a neat feature which allows you to pick and choose optional extras to install, or to remove certain things from installing.
Once it appears just follow the instructions, its simple really.
when i rooted it i changed to franko kernel? what do i need to flash Miui ROM Vengeance Note v2_4-08 09 2012? im downloading that atm
Go with something popular like philz or hydracore, it will be overwritten once the ROM installs anyway.
Make sure to do the wipes (if necessary)
so i install that kernel, then flash the rom using cwm and it says to do a wipe, how do i wipe it?
In recovery there are several options, you will need to wipe data / Factory reset, then wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You may also need to format /system and /preload, you will find these under the mounts and storage menu

i still have no idea what to do.. all i know is when doing a new rom install in from sd card is all i know, i need an easy to understand explaination lol because what you're saying is just letters to me, if you can tell me how to do it because i dont know what im doing..
Okay, so you're completely stock now right? If so, head over to original android development section and download either philz kernel for your version (find this in settings > about phone) or hydracore kernel (this needs to be flashed with odin unless you are already rooted with Cwm recovery, if not just use philz)
Once downloaded place on your internal sd card, power the phone off, hold volume up + home + power all at once until you enter recovery.
Now select apply update from sd card or update . zip (can't remember which one) once flashed do the same procedure again, this time you will notice how different it is.
Now either mount usb storage in recovery (under mounts and storage) or reboot the phone to use mtp / mass storage.
Place MIUI rom in your internal sd card, reboot into recovery, select wipe data / Factory reset (will remove all apps and data, not media, so backup what's important before hand)
Now select wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
Now go to install zip from sd card, then choose zip from internal sd card, find the MIUI rom and flash it.
Once done, reboot and wait upto 10mins for it to boot properly.
Double check to MIUI thread for install instructions as you may need to format system and preload too when performing the full wipe in recovery.

In my experience that is exactly how it normally works. Your SD card is not wiped/formatted via CWM/Recovery mode.
You can un-mount & format it from the "storage" option in your phone. Note that the "USB Mass Storage Enabler" app, if you use it, seems to interfere with this and should be disabled before formatting.
are both taking about internal SD,NOT external sd

when u used cwm to wipe, the screen shows the partitions and folders been wiped.
u will notice it does not wipe the whole internal sdcard.
u need to use format to wipe all the data.

Never, ever format the system.
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it.
If you want to update cm roms (or any rom):
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more.
P.S. better use twrp 2.7 from novafusion, for better compatibility.

Thanks but it still doesn't work. I want to flash the rom but the rom file its in the external sd card and it says that there are no files found. And when i hook up the phone to my pc the phone is detected, however I can´t acess the sd card.
Maybe if there's a way for me to acess the ext. sd card and change the rom file for the internal memory it would work. Do you know how can i do this?

Euhm, it might be a weird idea, but you take your external SD-card, put it in your card reader, connect the card reader to your pc, and copy the zip to (let's say) the root of the SD-card
CWM should be fine, but I'm used to TWRP. You can find it on the novafusion website. (search novafusion TWRP)
If you can't boot into CWM or TWRP, or files still don't show up on the browsermodule in the recovery rom, you still have the possibility to flash your ROM using odin. Check the installation guide on novafusion, it gives you a link to all the files you need and a detailed description how to install your rom.
