Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Wiping cache partitions doesn't remove user data but wiping data partition will delete them.
If you don't wipe them when flashing a new rom, you will have FCs.

Okay, I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but....I never really understood what a full wipe is...Is it where you wipe data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache? Or one of those 3 or 2 of them?
Full wipe = factory reset.
Your personal data will be wiped out.
So do I need to wipe the cache partition as well or just factory reset?

Thanks for the help guys!
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace.
1. If a phone is running stock ROM and unrooted, how can I wipe the dalvik cache?
Does the 'wipe cache partition' in recovery refer to the Dalvik cache? Does it
clean the Dalvik cache?
2. Are there other caches in my phone that needs 'cleaning' or is Dalvik the only cache in there?
Thank you!
Well, I'm not sure, but I think that you need root access to can clean dalvik

Why do you need to clear the cache? I think you need a custom recovery and maybe root also. I could be wrong.

There are basically 2 different caches that should be wiped when you are flashing between ROM's (or experiencing issues), the cache and the Dalvik cache. They are accessed from your recovery method (you need root) and depending which one you are using they are accessed differently, the 2 most famous (imo) are clockword and AmonRa. Now, if you are not rooted then the only way to clear your cache is by factory resetting your phone (which will erase everything). I know this clears your data and settings but not sure if it clears all the caches...

Yes. You should always wipe.
In order.
factory reset,
format cache,
Advanced --> wipe dalvick cache,
Mounts and storage --> format system
Than flash your goodies!

It is always best to wipe everything. Especially when you change Roms. If you are on a cm rom and you are just upgrading to the newest version you can just wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, & reboot. I have done it this way for years & haven't had any problems. Most people prefer to wipe everything though.
TY so much

If you do all the passages you will have more chances to have a full working device

If it's your first rom, or if you're flashing an entirely new rom, do a full wipe. Otherwise, you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik.
100% correct

ya iv had it happen to me a few times and to wipe all of them is usually the way to go, you can use titanium backup if you just want to keep your app just if you've upgraded to a new rom like going to jb from ics then do a restore and uncheck all system settings you only want your apps and their data back, if it forces closes just reboot in recovery and wipe the delvik cache and it should fix it up
do we also wipe system before installing roms?
or just cache and dlv

If you want the new rom to run without any issue wipe everything. I always do wipe cache, dalvik, data, system. Do it a few times, even reboot recovery between. I always do and never have any issue.

I do factory reset then wipe system then flash rom and has work every time.
When changing type roms, Like sense to aosp . wipe evrything.
When flashing update or newer version of same ROM , you can dirty flash. Saves you setting up the whole device over again. Just wipe cache and dalvik.
Always check advice if wipe is needed.
Wiping the same things multiple times over is just for your own mindset. Once is normaly enough.

I wipe everything 3X. I don't like dirty flashing because if you encounter a bug you won't know if it's due to the rom or you dirty flashing.

Thank you for this!
I only wipe system and both cache partitions when flashing an updated version of a ROM. If I am flashing a completely different ROM, I wipe data as well. There is no point is wiping anything multiple times.
So just to make things clear here. It is safe to wipe everythinggggg? Also when backing up before rooting or flashing a new ROM where exactly does the back stores? I tried restoring it and i couldn't find its location :fingers-crossed:
hello. i installed android 4.2.2 via odin and i didn't wipe data/cache partition before upgrade. after a while i did a factory reset from settings and after that i wiped data partition from recovery. after that i tried to wipe cache partition also from recovery but an error appeared and the phone restarted.
So my question is: why when i try to wipe cache partition from recovery i have that error? if i use any aplication to wipe cache when the phone is booted to android there is no problem. also the cache can be cleared with no problem from settings/storage. The error came up only from recovery.
Thanks.
You are using stock recovery?
I tried wiping cache. But I didn't notice error. And yes it also rebooted itself, which I didn't ask it to. But my cache was cleared

Yes,i am using stock recovery. Well i did not try to wipe cache on 4.1.2, just on 4.2.2, so i do not know if on 4.1.2 is doing the same. Do you have 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? I also read that s4 users have the same error while wiping cache partition after updating their android. Could another flash solve the problem?

actually if it does the work, it doesn't really matter if it reboots itself after wiping cache, after all you only need it to wipe your cache, so if it does the job, then why let the problem bother you

agree with you, but how do i know if the cache is cleared if i have that error?
Go to settings. Storage.
There should be a column saying:
Cached data.
If it's a lot, then it's not cleaned

now its 60mb, but several days passed from the time i tried to wipe cache partition. yesterday i received a notification for a software update. it was 4.2.2 I9105PXXUBMI1, which replaced the one that i flashed with odin I9105PXXUBMG8. when i will have time i will try again to wipe cahe from recovery, maybe the problem is fixed with this new firmware.anyway, the phone is working oustanding the way it is. thanks for the answers.:good:
