Hi all, I'm new to android and just receive my HTC One X and have ARHD custom rom installed. I read somewhere stating that when flashing roms, I have to clear cache and dalvik cache. But when I did so, I received this error.
dalvik cache e:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Read somewhere that this is normal, is it? just want to confirm.
Also hope some of the veterans here can assist, when installing a kernel/ rom/ radio what do I have to do? I've read this post and am unsure if this is correct.
Rule of thumb for flashing and wiping - in recovery mode
flashing a rom - wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache, format /system
flashing a kernel or a theme - wipe cache partition, dalvik cache, format /system
flashing a radio - wipe cache and dalvik and format system

my ROM is clearing dalvik-cache during the installation process. No need to do it manually.

I tried to manually flash ROMs by booting into recovery. But in order to do that I need to do a full wipe. But I am not sure for this particular "Wipe Dalvik Cache" option. I select it and it says E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (Invalid arguments)
But after I press Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache is says Dalvik Cache wiped. Have I actually wipe that dalvik cache? =/
That's an error normally caused if you wiped data and cache then went onto wipe the Dalvik-Cache manually in the advanced menu.
What you are doing is trying to wipe it twice and it gets confused so throws up this error.
As a general rule you shouldn't need to use this advanced method if you have already wiped data and cache.
Not the best answer but I believe to be accurate.
Just use full wipe 1.3, saves loads of hassle for wiping between ROMs.
Depends on how often you update and change ROMs as has been discussed many times. This question was just asking about dalvik cache.

Full wipe means:
data/factory reset
cache wipe
dalvik cache wipe
wipe system in mounts and storage
wipe cache in mounts and storage
Wiping system is very important as a flash is usually an update to a different and improved system version! ( for instance from KKA to LA4).
When getting into a bootloop pull the battery, reinsert battery and go in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and cache and reboot, done

Why would you format or "Wipe" the Cache partition 3 times? Just curious...
i got a bootloop after installing google apps. I've already installed cyanogen but after installing the Google Apps, cynaogenmod does startup and its a black screen.
Can you please help?

this is no support thread. please use forum search. bootloop problem is known and easy to solve.
When flashing a new rom I know you want to clear cache, dalvik, factory reset..
is it recommended to wipe system as well or no?
Some roms will wipe system inside the script itself, but you don't know that without actually taking a look inside...I always wipe everything and then flash.
/data (factory reset)
/system
/cache
Dalvik is part of /data, so it will get wiped too.

- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System
- advanced - wipe dalvik cache
and then install rom, gapps?? It´s all?
Thank you very much.

Please READ the installation instructions on the first post.
And no point telling anyone you don't know how to do it, Google is right in front of you.
To answer your question:
- flash the kernel
- boot into CWM
- flash the ROM.zip
- wipe data
Mount and format = wipe
You just repeated the wiping process for data and dalvik
In my experience it is not compulsory to wipe cache and dalvik when installing new ROM.

Last Q. As you write, the last point wipe data = wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System?? Sorry for my ignorance.

Yes, also don't forget about dalvik, located in "advanced"
Thank you. Now is all OK.:good:
Using this rom right now.
Check the sound settings after you install it as the phone sound wasnt working.
I want to install a 4.3 ROM over my 4.2.2 ROM, in the instructions it wants me to do the following:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache partition. (I have done this before).
2. Mount System + Storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache.
(Haven't done this before)
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (I have done this before)
So my question is what does step 2 do. I am scared it will wipe all my data like pictures audio files etc. that I want to keep.

its alright to format /system, /data & /cache as long as you don't format the /sdcard, i always format /system /data even when i'm just updating the rom .. ^^
Just use factory reset in your custom recovery. It handles data and cache. You don't need to manually wipe system and you don't have to touch dalvik
