Hey guys,
I was just flashing a new ROM for my gio, and made sure that i did a factory reset, wiped cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. but when i went to wipe the dalvik, CWM froze for a bit, then showed the yes/no part for like half a second, then kicked me back to the main menu. It does this every time. Any ideas on what to do? or should i just reflash it?

Hi there!
I think i found solution for your problem.
The think is there are two diffrent tipes of clockworkmod for Sammy Gio. They look excacly the same. Even there have same version number. But one is for ext4 file system (files on memory into your phone, no sd), and the other one is for ext4 and rfs. If dalvik wipe menu disappeared after part of second, you shoud figure out which version of CWM you are using at this time and just install the other one. It should help.
Here is the link whitch download links to diffrent version of CWM.

PS. I apologie for my English.
Hello everyone, hope you are doing good.
So I was on my p7500.It had 4.1.2 which i flashed in october 2012.Today, I upgraded it to 4.2.2
First, I flashed the new bootloaders, recovery etc wiped data (factory reset) (of 4.2.2 ofcourse).Then went into recovey, factory resetted, wiped cache and dalvik cache, then from install from zip i chose cm 10, flashed gapps etc.
Rebooted.I am aware the users thing in android creates the 0 directory in the sd card folder.Whatever the case, where are all my old photos
and sd card files and how can I get them back? I had a lot of precious photos.
Thanks in advance.Any help is much appreciated.
P.S: Before I did all this it had about 1.66 GB Free on my tablet.It still is that amount.So it is there, but where?
NEVERMIND, I found it.They get located in /data/media
Hi everyone, new to the forum and I hope that my (likely) simple question is easy to answer!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, that was running the stock ROM at 4.1.2. I rooted the phone using the Odin tool, which worked first time, and I then proceeded to use ClockWorkMod (latest version I think) to flash a custom 4.3 Rom to the device (after taking a backup of the EFS folder to SD Card and my PC).
That has worked perfectly. I am loving 4.3.
The issue I have is internal storage.
When I did the custom rom install, I did:-
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
I then installed the custom ROM and latest GApps and all is good.
What is curious, and I just cannot seem to explain, is that the internal storage when I was on the stock ROM, reported I have over 6GB free, and now that I have gone over to the custom ROM, I have around 2GB free.
For me, that seems strange that I have lost 4GB of internal storage just for this ROM update.
I had assumed that the Data/Factory Reset and Format System would clear out all the rubbish ready for a clean install of the Custom ROM - but that does not appear to be the case.
How do I go about resetting my device so that I can clear down the internal storage to the extent that I can regain the lost space?
Any help is really appreciated.

I would say, try to establish if the rom had 4GB of extra data or not initially. How much bigger was the custom rom compared to the stock rom?
If you have busybox or TerminalIDE installed ( hope you have!) , try running "du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 30" and see if you can find any particularly large files, or directories that seem extremely bloated and compare them to the stock rom.
What are you using to determine how much disk space you have free? Windows via usb? df via terminal?

Hi,
I just flashed my phone, using CM 11 to KitKat 4.4.4. Everything went smooth. However, I left 1 GB for data partition and the default size for system and cache. After installing a few apps I found that I have no more space, so I'm gonna repeat the procedure increasing the space for these partitions. My question is how big these partitions (data, cache and system) are in the stock ROM (in my case JellyBean 4.1.2? If I return to the stock ROM do I have to determine the partitions, or it is automatically?
Hey,
I have a short question.
Is it still safe to wipe Cache & Dalvik within TWRP when the SD Card is running at "Internal Mode" on Marshmallow without losing any data?
I have used the "Internal Mode" the first time since about 2 Weeks now on my Oneplus X with the Exodus ROM. I than flashed a new Nightly last week (within TWRP from Blue Spark) and directly after this the blue spark kernel and Xposed Modul. Finally I wiped Cache & Dalvik. After booting to the OS it tells me the the SD Card was not found and I noticed that it was empty
I have flashed new nightlies before and never had a problem with something like that, but previously the SD Card always was used as External Card and I always stayed with the stock Kernel of the Exodus ROM. So I'm unsure where the data get lost..
Could the problem be the Wipe Cache & Dalvik or perhaps the change of the Kernel in combination with the Internal SD Card Mode?
hm.. nobody who has an idea what exactly was going wrong there?
Fine here, running Ressurection Remix
