After flashing the original SW 5.02 ( without rezeize option) the /date partitontion was corrupt.
I have repair the partition and in the forst momentall things looks like ok.
If I want to wipe (Select Dalvik and cache) TWRP 3.2.2.0 show mie the erroe message, that TWRP can not mount the Dalvik partition.
In this moment there is only a direktory under /data/dalvik.cache.
The direktiory is not empty.
Is the Dalvik - cache an own partition?
How looks like the partition table on th eDevice P905?
Or is the error message normal ???
Thaks a lot for your help
For everyone who has the same issue:
Please ensure that /system is mounted in TWRP.
After mount the partition the wipe of the Dalvik/Art cache works without any errors

before you flash a new ROM?
where is this done from?
TIA
judging by your question, I guess you don't have ext partition.
Otherwise you would know it can be done through recovery
As said in recovery. Wipe --> Wipe Ext
thats the thing i cant find it in ClockworkMod Recovery
I dont see a Wipe menu
when it starts i see
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
nandroid
partitions menu
advanced
if i goto advanced i see
reboot recovery
wipe dalvic cache
Wipe Battery Stsas
Reports Error
Key Test
Under Partitions menu
there is a format sd-ext, is it this??????????

So this is what I have done so far:
Rooted using unrevoked
S-off using revolutionary.io
Flashed Ra Desire recovery image (Build: RA-desire-v2.0.0)
partitioned the sd card with gparted (1GB ext4 partition, and 7GB fat32 partiton) - SD card is class 6
So, I watched this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yurhQ5Xhi0
And when he gets to the part where he boots into recovery and wipes data, he only wipes:
Userdata
Cache
Dalvik-cache
When im in the recovery, I have following options:
- Wipe ALL userdata
- Wipe only /data
- Wipe only /sd-ext
- Wipe only /sdcard/.android_secure
- Wipe only /cache
- Wipe only Dalvik-cache
- Wipe only battery stats
- Wipe only rotate settings
This is where i get confused, do have to wipe: ALL userdata AND /cache AND Dalvik-cache? Or do i have to wipe all 8 options?
Thank you
you have a different recovery. Just select "Wipe ALL userdata" and then flash CM
All userdata is enough, this wipes everything except the rom and recovery.
wipe dalvik cache and cache if your upgrading rom and have problems, wipe all userdata when changing roms or want to restore a roms initial state.

Edit, beat me to it, took me 5 minutes to write that post, and the missus says I can't multitask.
Hi all, I'm new to android and just receive my HTC One X and have ARHD custom rom installed. I read somewhere stating that when flashing roms, I have to clear cache and dalvik cache. But when I did so, I received this error.
dalvik cache e:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Read somewhere that this is normal, is it? just want to confirm.
Also hope some of the veterans here can assist, when installing a kernel/ rom/ radio what do I have to do? I've read this post and am unsure if this is correct.
Rule of thumb for flashing and wiping - in recovery mode
flashing a rom - wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache, format /system
flashing a kernel or a theme - wipe cache partition, dalvik cache, format /system
flashing a radio - wipe cache and dalvik and format system

my ROM is clearing dalvik-cache during the installation process. No need to do it manually.
When flashing a new rom I know you want to clear cache, dalvik, factory reset..
is it recommended to wipe system as well or no?
Some roms will wipe system inside the script itself, but you don't know that without actually taking a look inside...I always wipe everything and then flash.
/data (factory reset)
/system
/cache
Dalvik is part of /data, so it will get wiped too.

I want to install a 4.3 ROM over my 4.2.2 ROM, in the instructions it wants me to do the following:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache partition. (I have done this before).
2. Mount System + Storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache.
(Haven't done this before)
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (I have done this before)
So my question is what does step 2 do. I am scared it will wipe all my data like pictures audio files etc. that I want to keep.

its alright to format /system, /data & /cache as long as you don't format the /sdcard, i always format /system /data even when i'm just updating the rom .. ^^
Just use factory reset in your custom recovery. It handles data and cache. You don't need to manually wipe system and you don't have to touch dalvik
