5 mins. ago suddenly my phone powers off and never booted. I just got a nandroid backup and then wipe cache & dalvik. It works! But I am wondering if I lost any user data or not.
Any ideas?
No, you should not lose any data.
Correct. It does not wipe any user data. That is all in the /data partition. It will, however, make the following boot take a long time, as it rebuilds the Dalvik cache.

What he said...
Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?
It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache
It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.
I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.
Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...
As what the title say, how do I restore nandroid backups using cwm?
Do I have to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache first before restoring nandroid backup?

Nope, just restore.
I am about to flash CloudyG3 1.3 on my G2. When wiping, do I wipe system too, or just data, cache and dalvik?

Which is essentially factory restore or the 1st screen in twrp when you click wipe.
Hi,
could anyone please tell me the best way to remove all Google Apps? Wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache and format system partition? Or is it also possible with Titanium Backup? Thanks

Wipe data/factory reset and format /system is only way. Of course that wipes everything else too. You could backup data and apps and restore them later to get most back. But do not restore system apps or gapps will come back.
