[Q] Wipe cache partition error in stock recovery :/ - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I try to wipe my cache partition using stock recovery it just says error and my SM-G730W8 justs reboots. How do I know it actually wiped the cache partition and is there another way to wipe it; with a file explorer maybe? I've read that some S4 variants also have this problem but for them it still wipes the cache partition; I just don't know if mine is wiped. Thanks in advance.

What rom were you on when you flashed the current one?

Try flashing a GB rom using odin. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset and check what happens.

Glad you got it sorted, in future never use a pit unless you're facing certain brick scenarios, it can cause more damage than good, you rarely need them.
Happy new year to all btw

[ROM]CyanAOSP v0.5.2 (NEED HELP)

Here's the problem can anyone help me upon this.
I was using Cynogen Nightly 9.1 version then I saw [ROM][JB][4.2.1][18/01/13] CyanAOSP v0.5.2 [Stable | For Gaming] seems amazing so then I downloaded and installed successfully. Everything seemed okay but as the ROM started it was giving me a constant error which was like "Wizard stopped working" I was totally unable to get my hands on this rom.
So I then updated my rom again to cyanogen 10.1 Nightly.
my question is should install it now will it work fine?
AW: [ROM]CyanAOSP v0.5.2 (NEED HELP)
I think something went wrong when you installed the first time.
Follow this steps and it should work:
1. Backup your data
2. Enter recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Under mounts and storage --> format/system
5. Then install the zip
6. Enjoy

Hi, I also tried the ROM and got the same message (setup wizard...)as you did. After all the "wipes" and format "system" and "datadata" i also made the error of formating SDcard.
Now I have my phone in Restart loop showing Galaxy S logo and then SEMAPHORE....and loop.....and loop....
Sugestions?
Thanks in advance

If you can enter recovery try to wipe data and install again ( under mounts and storage you can mount USB and put files on your sd)
If you can't enter recovry you have to flash GB over Odin

If you start from GB then the order is nornally the following:
-Flash GB (1 or 3 parts)
-Root (flash a kernel via odin)
-Install Rom via recovery
-evtl. Gapps

[Q] about ROM JB Zaiben by Siauka

Hi all,
I have a problem with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203700
I install the .zip file with CMW.
After wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, format system I reboot.
And the phone does not boot.
It stops at the LG logo.
Any solutions?
I tried also with TWRP

Dude 1st: format/wipe everything
2nd: install/flash rom
still nothing...
I install it again without re-flashing kdz
is it right?
or I need to flash the kdz, wipe all then install?
now I use TWRP recovery.

Probably now you have some kind of tutti-frutti of files in your phone...
Better flash your phone with .kdz or other method, after that follow the tutorial.
Did you flash from ICS? You need to be on V20 (JB) before you flash it.

Oh, just realised you stated you formatted system. You're not supposed to do that since /system contains the ROM, so it wouldn't boot past kernel logo.

Then what I could do?
Now I am on v20a with TWRP installed.
I need to reboot into recovery, do a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe, data wipe and then install?
TWRP is the same of CMW?
Thanks

I sugest you to use adb instead of terminal.
Once that you facrtory reseted the phone, check if you didn't forgot nothing... root, etc...
Try install SuperSU if you have Superuser.

Are you on stock kernel? I would do a nandroid backup, wipe everything except SD and then restore
I would also try to reinstall recovery image as well. Sounds like something with the read/write got corrupt
