Hey everyone.
I have a question that hopefully someone ca help me out with.
I am not new to rooting but am new to CWM.
I have found how to clear dalvik cache but how do I clear cache, system & data?
Please just let me know where they are located and which is which.
Thank you very much
Factory reset is the data, cache is the third one I think.

I'm new to rooting and would like to switch between Bombaridier and Juggernaut. What steps do I need to take to switch between the two roms if I already have Bomba on here.
Go to the opening page of whatever ROM you want and there should be specific instructions on how to install. Hope that helps you.

You did thanks. So I would have to go through the hassle of putting in all my contacts and apps each time I switch roms?

theres an app called Titanium Backup, that should help you backup your apps, and for the contacts, i recomend saving them to your google account or sim for that matter.

Everytime i try to wipe my Dalvik cache, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the /E: anyone know the reason for this? after it says that then it says the Dalvik cache has been wiped
What recovery is it doing this, amon-ra or clockworkmod?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have no idea why that happens. It was doing it to me as well on a custom rom, flashed a different rom and it's no longer doing it. So I am assuming that it had to do with the rom structure... However, I also moved my dalvik cache to my SD card, so that could have also had something to do with it. Either way, I found that dalvik cache was wiped after the second time around (when it says it's wiped) so I never really found it to be an issue, per'se.

Ok, so there might be a third variable for me then. It was doing it on CWM, and once switched to RA, it didn't do it. So that may have been it... For me, at least.
Switch to Amon Ra. People have too many problems with clockworkmod recovery.

Its looking for dalvik on ur sdcard. Like the above poster said he moved his dalvik to sd and so it found "E:" so you didnt get the "error" which isnt really an error.
Its nothing to worry about and is normal. And will say it everytime unless you move dalvik to sd.
Yea. Mine gets same error. you just get used to it...

I'm trying to install Imperium Initiative V1.0.0. I wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset, and reboot. How long should the phone take to reboot after following this process? I've waited 10 to 15 minutes and the phone doesn't boot.

No, I'm not bricked. I can still boot into recovery (CWM) and reinstall my old rom. I'm just finding out should it take this long to install or am I just being impatient.
Well from reading the steps that you took not once did you mention you actually flash the ROM
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
In recovery:
Factory reset
Wipe System
Install
Reboot
Wipe/format system is not the same as a factory reset.
Everyone keeps wiping everything except for the most important one. SYSTEM. make sure you wipe system BEFORE you flash and then you wipe the cache after you flash.

The phone will boot in like 30 seconds. You just gotta wipe system before you flash

Wiping system is ROM Flashing 101. I'm surprised at how many folks are skipping this.

I'm new to this. Will wiping the system delete all of my music from my Internal SD Card? I don't see an option to wipe the system in CWM. What app can I use to complete this task?

Thanks! I figured out where it was located in CWM. It's under Mount and Storage (Format/System).

Factory reset to remove user data. Will wipe intsd if on stock recovery.
Use Odin to return to stock. This won't wipe data.
Your question could be worded better, I think. Did I answer your question? Not entirely sure what you're asking.
In CWM:
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe data factory reset
While in Cwm:
Go to mounts and storage
Format data and /data/media (/sdcard)
Flash rom
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Doing those steps will completly wipe the internal storage and when you boot the phone up everything will be as if you just unboxed the phone and started using it for the first time.
You can double check after flashing the rom, reboot device and skip all of the options in the setup wizard, then go to settings> storage and see how much memory is available.

May leave a dirty trace if not done properly. Wipe a few times to be sure.

Thats why you double check, by going to settings> storage afterwards.

Also if you do double check by going to settings> storage, afterwards just boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wiping cache and dalvik cache is optional.

Can you recommend a good cache cleaner for the S20?
Thank you very much.

You actually need cache for a faster, smoother operation. When the cache becomes cluttered after OTA update/Full FW install, manually clean it from recovery, that's all.
