Wiping Dalvik Cache in Recovery Error.

Solved. Mod please close.
Thanks for the help....
Just got a new Thunderbolt. Rooted. When I wipe Dalvik cache I get a line that says E: invalid directory or file. Is there something I need to do to my internal storage or sdcard first before downloading a new rom, wiping data cache dalvik and then flashing? Recovery doesn't seem to be wiping dalvik cache. Any help is apreciated. Thanks.

Did you delete the cache partition first? I believe the dalvik cache is often stored there, so if you wipe the partition first, you'll get an error if you attempt to wipe the cache afterwards. Either way, if it isn't there, it shouldn't cause a problem with a new ROM.
I found a file named cache, it had 2 files. One was called download.apk, the other was Recovery.txt. The Recovery.txt file was just a log of my last flash. The download.apk would not open. It was 1kb. In the data dir. there is a David cache file. It has all the data from the user apps. I deleted the cache file but still got the error, then deleted both, and still the same. After reboot, both files were there with the same info. Should I re-root, format sdcard with a ext-3 partition then update to a GB Rom? Thanks

It always says that, for me at least. You have to do two clicks in Recovery for it to work, if you know what I mean. After I click "Clear Dalvik Cache" the first time, I get that "error" and a list of more options, one being Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the other 13 being the same. I click Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the feed at the bottom says Dalvik Cache cleared.
That is when.it looks for a EXT partition. If one was not create it will say that.
It is typically used for Apps2SD and by having them on the SD there would be a dalvik directory.

[Q] Noob question: can I install a ROM from recovery?

Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

[Q] beta 0.2.0 com.android.phone has stopped

I've been using joker's beta 0.1.0 , it's awesome. Thanks to joker and his team. Moved to 0.2.0 , on bootup I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Anyone else getting this?
Did you wipe cache/dalvik cache before flashing up to new version? Thats pretty much the bare minimum, if you want to be sure you can format system data and caches.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I did wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.

Sometime when I just wipe cache and dalvik cache I end up with little bugs like that when moving between beta versions, I usually just full wipe everything and I have NO issues with random reboots or random force closes. And I would sometimes have them when i just wiped cache and dalvik.
OK, I did format system, format data, format cache. Installed beta 0.2.0 , now it works. Thank you.

[Q] Dalvik Cache

When I load roms, typically I will wipe the Cache as well, the Dalvik Cahce. However, since loading the new Cm9 Unofficial, everytime I try to wipe the Dalvik, i get "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]".
Is this a problem and if so, how do i fix this?
I'm pretty sure it has always said that on every phone and every ROM I have used.
The dalvik cache wipe is not needed if you wipe the cache partition...
Guess where the dalvik cache is,
that's right.
The cache partition!
Btw, that message just means you don't have an external sd card installed.

True, the error message can be ignored,
but sorry you're wrong -- dalvik-cache is under /data partition
and the message will appear regardless of having an sdcard, it just means [/sd-ext] is undefined
