[Q] How to wipe cache only with ROManager

I know it involves booting up into recovery mode, but I'm lost after that.

Go into ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery". Then the phone will reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then you will see various options, including "wipe cache partition". I presume that's the one you are after ? Or you can go into the "Advanced" bit and there's an option to wipe the Dalvik cache.

[Q] Rooted Kindle doesn't take roms through TWRP

Hi, I am running TWRP v2.2.2.1 and my kindle fire is rooted. When I go to flash a rom it seems like it is finished, but never gives me the success popup. It also says its verifying the partition sizes and filesystems. The home and restart buttons appear and so once I flash it I restart and the bootloader for each rom I have installed consistently just keeps loading indefinitely and never goes into the OS. Any idea's? In the mean time I have a backup and am running the stock os.

Restarting the bootloader selection puts your device in fastboot. Try selecting system after your flash that`s what you should be doing.

after i flash "wipe cache, home, and reboot system" appear. Do you mean reboot system or am I wrong. The success popup never showed up again.

Depends on what your flashing as far as the wipes go but yes when you select reboot then you select system if prompted. If you are flashing a completely different system. Wipe factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash Rom and flash gapps then select reboot and select system if prompted.
Edit: The final thing that TWRP does during a flash is verifying file systems and verifying partitions sizes. When you see the buttons show for wipe davik/cache and reboot this indicates the flash is complete even if it doesn't throw a successful statement

Problems to reboot in recovery and doing wipe cache and dalvik cache with SJB 7.1

hi...i'm new here..i'm italian...very nice forum...my arc seems to be a new phone with your daily new rom!!!!:good:
now i have SJB 7.1 with Super Fusion Kernel V3...nice rom really...but i have a problem...when i push power button and choose "recovery" option,the phone restart in normal mode as i push the simply "reboot" option and when i go in CWM and try to wipe cache or dalvik cache, phone restart in bootloop and the only things to do is make a recovery or reinstall all the rom
have you got same problem???
thank everybody and sorry for bad english

Before installing your ROM wipe Data/factory reset ,wipe cache, select mounts and storage and select "format system " and then delvic. THis should stop the bootloop.
To access CWM just use the power button and the volume down button.

Bricked?

Im in desperate need of help.
My one X randomly locked up and on a hard reboot (held power button) it now no longer boots to CM, instead it boot loops.
On booting to recovery (CWM) I was presented with a black screen. So using fastboot I was able to flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 and successfully boot to it.
It opens with a password prompt to which I can click cancel and get to the options. This is where it complains things get complicated :/
If I try to wipe anything:
E: error unable to mount '/cache'
It will do the same with /data and /system.
adb sideload so far has failed me,
failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
It seems once one attempt fails the phone seems to go into some locked status until the battery is fully drained and recharged. Which makes everything so long and tedious to troubleshoot.
adb push cm.zip /sdcard returns an error. But this is all in vain as I have cm10.1 on the /sdcard but twrp fails to flash it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ive been without internets at work for days now :crying:

bump.

Update your twrp to latest 2.7 or whatever its near the top in development thread. Then fastboot erase cache, flash boot image for desired ROM fastboot erase cache, boot to recovery flash ROM then gapps, wipe davlic and cache, enjoy..

Brilliant mate. There was an option in 2.7 to repair the partitions. I had to set /data back to ext4 (even though it said it already was) then repair the partition, and voila. Its all working again

Bricked Gnex

Hi everyone,
Years ago I switched to nexus 5 because of a seriusly boot looped Gnexus. Now I'd like to fix it, if it's possible obviusly.
I can't remember how Gnex got bricked very well, but I can list some of my attempts to solve the problem. (I suppose you useful to know that the phone is unlocked and rooted with CWM recovery installed. Fastboot drivers are intalled in my windows 10 PC and also Unified Android Toolkit v1.6.4).
I tried to format everything by CWM with these options: "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "wipe dalvik cache", "format sdcard", "format system", "format cache", "format data", "format multimedia". After rebooting, if I go to "install zip from sdcard" I see that my data appears again. I suppose that operations from CWM failed. If I normally reboot the device, it gets bootlooped again.
I tried to flash a custom ROM stored in memory from CWM, but it seems that this operation doesn't work. I tried from toolkit and cmd promt too.
I tried to intall a new recovery like TWRP. After rebooting, CWM appears again. I also use cmd promt "fastboot erase recovery" but nothing happens.
If I try to unroot or lock bootloader again, a successful message appears in cmd window. After reboot nothing changes.
I tried removing battery before every attempts.
Someone can suggest other ways to fix my device?
