I don't have a Wipe Cache Partition menu option in recovery.
Done a bit of googling, and some say the Pixel 5 doesn't have one, and I've seen other articles showing the option in recovery.
Can someone confirm if I should have it or not, and if so, how do I get it back in my recovery menu?
Thanks

Pixels don't have it. I believe the cache clears each time with a reboot.

I want to do a factory reset but i also want to wipe the cache on the device.
Is it recommended to do it for a factory reset or just when you install a custom rom? I have found these instructions for a custom rom but its not clear to me if i can do it for a factory reset:
Install ROM (Sense UI, Cyanogen, etc)
1. Turn phone off -> Hold Volume Down, hold Power button
2. Press Volume Down to highlight Recovery -> press Power to select Recovery
3. Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
4. Wipe -> Wipe data/factory reset
5. Wipe -> Dalvik Cache

So, if i can do it for a factory reset, when should i do it, before the factory reset or after?
Thanks.
If your goal is to just put it back to factory setting, what's the problem with JUST doing both resets anyway?
I don't understand what those wipes do and if they are necessary when doing a FR. I've heard that it might help to wipe the cache in case i have a problem with the phone. That's why i'm asking.
Cache is cache... stored memory. Its like if you watch porn online, you wanna clear cache to ensure no one accidentally bumps in to your profile.

Ok, i understand i can clear the cache. When should it be done? Before or after a FR?
Ok, someone please help. I bet the majority of you have custom roms and you know for sure how to wipe the cache before installing a custom rom.
Please share this knowledge with me. I'm gonna sell the device if i can't get any help. I'm tired of some issues with it.
I tried to enter the fastboot menu (or whatever is called) by pressing the power button + volume down + trackball but it reboots after the checking for an update.zip file because it fails to see any.
What do i do?

Relax.
Do you have a custom recovery? If not, install one (if you want to install custom ROMs).
If you do, when the phone is powered down, press the power button and the volume down button at the same time. You will arrive at your custom recovery screen. Go to wipe and you will see that you can factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery settings and rotate settings. I am under the impression that wipe factory data would wipe everything, including cache etc. In general, if you are switching between versions of a custom ROM, you can get away with wiping cache and dalvik cache without having to do a factory reset. If you are going to a completely new ROM then you should back up all apps with titanium backup, nandroid backup (in custom recovery menu) and then wipe (factory reset) and flash your new ROM.
If you do not have a custom recovery and want to install custom ROMs then use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829

I don't have a custom recovery image and i don't want to install anything else.

I haven't dealt with stock recovery in a long time, but power down, hold power button and volume down at the same time. You will get to the recovery screen, select factory reset (or data wipe or whatever the option is), reboot and you are good to go. Don't worry about cache or dalvik cache.
I tried that. The only options are Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and simlock.
After i reach the screen i get the "checking sd...no image found " message.
Clear storage has only one option: Delete all user data? yes/no.
If i select recovery it reboots.
Does this mean i cannot access wipe dalvik cache?

Delete all user data then. When do you see " no image found"? If you hit recovery and it sreboot then you need to flash the stock recovery again. Forget about wipe dalvik cache, that is not important if you are just trying to factory reset and may not even be available from a stock recovery (can't remember though).
But that looks like Factory Reset to me. I was looking for a way to clear all possible cache. I've read on some other post that a guy cleared the dalvik cache and it solved some problems with his N1.
I guess i'll chose that one.
Thanks.

I must have been confused by the title of your thread and your first sentence starting with " I want to factory reset ..." Honestly, I don't remember but wiping cache alone may not be possible with a stock recovery. Just factory reset, start over and that's your best bet to clear up any issues.
Hi All,
I been reading on how to do a "Full Wipe" on a note. It says to go and install the abyss kernel 4.2 after which I need to go to advance menu and do a full wipe but I don't see that option.
Than i read on Mahmood's page that you have to go to the reboot recovery to do the full wipe. By this I assume that after hitting the reboot recovery, I would be given an option for the full wipe but when I do that at the bottom left corner of the screen, I see "clockwork mode recovery 5.2" and below that numbers running. These numbers take ages to go thru, I had a count of almost 5,000 when I decided to stop it. I can't find anywhere about the numbers running.
I would appreciate if someone could explain to me the "full wipe" and how to it properly.

cache as its name just cache you can freely wipe them anytime, theboot up would be longer coz' the phone must regenerate the cache files but you most wipe them before install a new update for you rom ad factory reset if you are installing a compely new rom!
Thanks alot for those of you'll who replied. Now I know what to do and not to...
take a backup too
since you look very new to flashing it is a good idea to take nandroid backup as well...you can do this from recovery...
Hey guys sorry if this has already been posted. I tried to search through the other threads but couldn't find anything with my exact problem. I am a noob when it comes to this stuff so please bear with me. I was trying to reinstall my ROM when I made the dumb mistake to format system, When I was in recovery I wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition, wiped Dalvik cache, and then for some reason went to format system. After I did that and went to reboot the phone it asked me to fix root. I did this and it started the CWM bootloop. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it?
exitrecovery.zip will stop the boot loop.

Also try this...
Pull battery..
Count to 10.
Replace battery.
Press and hold Volume Down and power until the Factory Reset screen comes up..
Hit the power button twice, once to start and the second to confirm.
This should put you into your recovery mode... There you should be able to install the ROM again..
At least this is what has always worked for me...
Is it safe to wipe everything in the "advanced" menu in TWRP?

Sure, if you want to wipe everything:laugh:
before flashing a complete new ROM i always wipe in advanced menu (except external sd ) to have a fully clean system.

i tried to install cyanogen mod on it but it didn't work and my phone won't go past the boot screen, i can access the sd card via my card reader but the pc doesnt detect the phone. can get into recovery too but i dont really know what to do from there. i tried using the "update from sd card" to put a stock rom back on but it just says "opening update package...installation aborted"
i followed this as recommended by another redditor http://www.needrom.com/download/cm12-1-working/
Here's the phone specs http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/4d963668
the options i have available in recovery are: reboot system now, apply update from adb, apply update from sdcard,apply update from cache,wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition,back up user data, restore user data,root integrity check,reboot to bootloader,power down and view recovery logs.

Well, in recovery, if you have a "wipe cache partition" option, start with that and see if it reboots. If not, you will have to try the "wipe data/factory reset" option but it will erase all your data. You have to choose a working phone and lost data over a non-working phone and lost data.

Sounds like you might need to flash a boot image for your ROM. Is there a separate boot image (kernel) available to you that will work with your ROM?
