Hi, everytime I Try to do a Wipe cache or a Wipe data from Cyanogen Recovery it doesn't do a thing.
Log file says: "Wipe complete" but when I reboot the device it change anything.
It seems like a simple restart of the device.
Is there anyone like my situation? Thanks.

Hey guys, this might be a really noob question. I looked it up on google, but still wanted to make sure because of the verizon locked bootloader etc( i know we can unlock it now). How do i do a full wipe on my device? I am asking because there are a few more options in the wipe settings of the custom recovery i have.
This are the steps i always do before flashing a rom. Are they the correct steps or do i need to do something else?
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Data/factory reset

Wipe Cache and wipe dalvik cache should both be done when flashing modifications or tweaks as they reduce the chance of encountering data issues/glitches and neither of them wipe your data as they are merely caches. Wipe data/factory reset should be done before flashing a rom. Wipe data/factory reset automatically wipes the cache and as the name implies will wipe any data you have on the phone, though any files you have saved to your internal "sd card" will be left intact. Before flashing a rom I always do a factory reset, and a dalvik cache wipe. Additionally I have found it helpful to also go into mounts and format system. There have been times for me that switching between two different roms has led to choppy performance, and this step seems to fix that as it thoroughly removes any traces of the previous rom.
Thanks for the detail reply. Is useful to know this since i always flash roms

this is what I've always been taught to do as well.

maybe you can get a dev to make a wipe zip
Hello,
i am trying to put kitkat 4.4.4 onto my Xoom MZ604. whilst using trwp the program says that it has failed to wipe dalvik.
do you have any advise to correct this error?
thank you,
steven
Please do a Factory Reset in TWRP and then select Dalvik Cache as one to be wiped from Wipe menu.
Somebody also noticed that there's no option in official twrp to only wipe cache?
there is on mine. but everytime i wipe cache , the logs says "cache is not mounted".
[Edited]
Nope , just checked it, and its just shows "Dalvik / Art Cache" . i just realized it
Yupp. Even in stock recovery was the option to wipe only the cache. Weird... Is there any other way to wipe the cache?
Btw, I pulled up an issue request on GitHub. https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1254

I think it's relevant with that slot a/b thing(?)
how about in the unofficial of twrp?
you have to use stock boot.img and wipe cache in recovery.
after a ROM update go into recovery and wipe cache before installing TWRP / Kernel / Magisk
otherwise no way.
Hi,
I want to speed up my wifes U11 life as it slows down after one year. So I wanted to try wioe the cape partition, but if I follow the instructions to get into recovery boot screen in menue "Wipe data/factory reset" there is no point "wipe cache partition", just "wipe all user data" to reset it to factory defaults. ^^
How can reach the option to wipe the cache partition? System is with newest updates, 8.1 Build 2.12.401.17 Security Level 08/2018
Best regards
There is no such option in the stock recovery or system. The only thing you could try is erasing the cache using fastboot
Ah, OK -thank you very much Sir! I will try this.
Have a great day!
Hi guys,
I wanted to perform a factory reset without loosing the stock ROM for now.
I don't do this since a long time ago (I did that on M7) I just wanted to ask a confirmation about that on TWRP Recovery.
What I need to do? Is WIPE -> Advanced Wipe and select DATA, Internal Storage, Cache and Dalvik Cache enough?
Basically I can wipe everything except system and boot right?
I've read something about formatting partitions but I'm not sure.
EDIT: I've found this: TWRP --> WIPE --> Swipe to Factory Reset
No more else should be needed.
