what does wipe cache partition and cache dalvik do?

Do they actually delete any physical data?
Whats the differences between the two really?
Please advice
with friendly greet

The cache partition stores temp data and downloads from the market and htc hub. And the dalvik cache is created by the dalvik vm, its used so android can run apps with optimal bytecode. If you wipe the dalvik cache, the dalvik vm will rebuild it on boot

grrr ... first time i dont do a full backup before updating and im stuck on the boot animation .... not rebooting, just the animation going on and on and on ... waited 20 mins before taking the battery out. tried several times and managed to get into android but then SPB hung on a blank screen and i couldnt do anything !
battery out again and tried reflashing (again) - this time wiping the cache first ... 10 mins and still boot animation
anyone got any thoughts before i give up and revert to a month old backup ?
ignore - wrong thread ... ADMIN remove ?

[TPT] CM10 Cannot wipe cache

Hi everyone, I recently rooted my 16GB WE TPT and installed cm10 v.0.8.1 and I love the performance and everything, if only there were no reboots. After reading in this forum I wanted to try to reinstall things from scratch wiping everything. For some reason I don't seem to be able to to anything with the data that is on my TPT. Neither can I do a factory reset from settings nor can I wipe data from Recovery. It doesn't display an error but it just doesn't delete anything. Then I tried to restore my backup from my original rom but this doesn't work either: it says error while restoring data (after recovery and system).
Can anyone help me? Could I have accidentally locked the data or anything?
Btw, Google Play has stopped working after my last try to restore stock and then install cm10 again.

In cwm you find under advanced a setting called "fix permissions". Try that

Hi, i had big problems with my Data-Partition. The Partition was read-only. No wipe with CWM was possible. Is that the same problem what you have? Do you have an logcat? Any error-messages?
Wiping was only possible with adb...

I don't have the same error messages you have/had, but I could image that my data partition is also read only since I can neither delete or install anything. What did you do to get rid of that problem?

The solution was to completely format the data permission. This can't be done in CWM directly because CWM tries to keep the folder /data/media, which is your internal sd-card and only deletes the other files (That's obviously not formating). In the link you can find a zip files that you can "flash" in CWM, it will format the data partition and does nothing else. After using it you should also manually wipe the cache using CWM.
Like i said, this will include your internal sdcard! Make backups first if you have important data stored on it!

I need to clear it - if I do "wipe data/factory reset" in stock ICS recovery menu - will it cause deleting ROM (and reboot will make brick) OR just will get it back to clean factory ROM?
I found few threads here about "wipe data"-thing, but it seems to me, that every version of Android / custom ROM / recovery type could behave different.

In recovery, just select Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced), and under Mounts and Storage select Format System.

Hi there,
Sounds like your phone has gone into bootloop......all I can suggest at the moment is to put your phone back into recovery......Wipe again and try again.....If that fails try changing recovery to CWM and try that? CWM recovery here I would suggest using odin .tar method.

Or the other way around, trying to flash a JB rom on a KK device.
