Wipe Dalvik? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Is anyone able to get any options when booting into the stock recovery? It used to be that even if you didn't have a custom recovery, you could boot into Android recovery and factory reset as well as wipe the dalvik cache.

No idea how. Got into recovery, but since we have a Volume rocker we can't press both at the same time to get past the first screen. No idea what button combination works....

I dont have a Turbo yet, but my guess getting into recovery should be similar to Maxx:
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device should be in recovery

This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the problem, but will not delete your files or settings.

6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence

Ahh... I completely forgot about holding the volume button down that long after getting into recovery.
Thank you!

Great!
But the wipe froze on my device and I had to reboot. Second wipe froze as well. Odd.

Mine did not freeze, however the wipe took what seemed to be 3-5 minutes... Longest cache wipe ever???
Edit: also did not get any sort of "upgrading OS" or "upgrading apps" message like on my previously rooted devices... Just the standard insanely fast boot.
Weird.

Recovery Options changed for Lolli
FYI, Wipe cache took 8 minutes on my phone and I've heard reports of up to 21 minutes.

[Q] Flash back to clean stock ROM

Help! I have tried to Flash back to clean stock ROM on my Nook Color with no results. I still have all the Andorid stuff and now I can not "re-register my nook color to get my books back. I'm in a world of hurt here and would like to get my Nook Color back to the original state.
PLease help!
None of the following works:
Perform "Factory Reset" to clear /data After this completes, you will need to clear the /data partition.
Method 1: Hardware Key Combination Note: It's been stated that this procedure can be done while the NOOKcolor is powered on or powered off. These instructions follow the powered off method.
1. With the NOOKcolor powered off hold down the n button (home), Vol + button and Power Button until the NOOKcolor powers on.
2. You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog. Press POWER key to Exit Press HOME key to continue
3. Press n button (home).
4. You will be prompted to confirm. Press POWER key to Exit Press HOME key to continue
5. Press n button (home).
6. A Clearing Data dialog will show. NOOKcolor will reboot automatically once complete.
Method 2: "Erase & Deregister Device" 1. Go to Settings
2. Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section
3. Select "Erase & Deregister Device"
4. Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button
5. You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog Are you sure you want to reset your Nook? Doing so will return your Nook to factory settings, erase local content and deregister this device. Cancel Reset Nook
6. Select the "Reset Nook" button
7. A Deregistration message will appear and NOOKcolor will reboot.
8. Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear Clearing data... A reset is being performed. This may take a few minutes.
9. NOOKcolor will reboot again once complete.
I had to do this with my first NC so I could exchange it for a non-defective one. You need to interrupt the normal boot up procedure 8 times in a row by holding down the power button while the device is booting. Shut the nook down completely, hold power until the screen turns on and you see the "future of reading" message come up, let the button go for a second, then re-press and hold it down until the device shuts off. Repeat that 7 more times and the nook will automatically factory-reset itself and all the stuff you installed on it will be gone.
You can re-register and re-download all your content after that.
Worked for me.. did it in the car outside BN before I returned my first one

[Q] Sprint tab, Low and Space message

This is after reset back to ea24. All my old info is still there after doing a factory Wipe, wipe cache. All apps crash, and Internal Device storage says only 35.95 MB free. This is with a new flash to EA24 and nothing installed.
Anyone know how else you can force the tab to reset to factory or wipe factory partition and reflash?
BTW this all started right after I updated the Dolphin browser, which did not remember my settings and started the first ran wizard everytime the Dolphin browser was opened.
This is the directions from Samsung Support, but the first step does not take me to any recovery screen. It turns the tab on and then back off if you hold it for 15 seconds.
Victoria: Power off the device.
Victoria: Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release.
Victoria: When the recovery screen comes up, use the volume up key and volume down key to navigate through the selections and the power key to select item.
Victoria: Select Delete all user data to recover the device.
Victoria: To confirm, scroll down and select Yes – delete all user data.
Victoria: The device reboots and again displays the recovery screen.
Victoria: Select Reboot system to restart the handset again.
Those steps should have indeed wiped out any and all settings, apps etc, so if they're still there after doing the wipe (might try doing the process 3x.. galaxy s devices seem to have better luck 3x.. and no you don't have to reboot into recovery, just do the wipe 3x in recovery.) then you might have a messed up device...
After attempting the steps above a few more times now the tab is locked in the Computer and Phone icon and no way to boot in to any other mode. Time to contact Samsung for a return?
Are u able to get into download mode maybe reflash to origional firware and see if it does the same thing

[Q] Can't reboot to Android from recovery

Once I get into the recovery mode, selecting reboot to system, keeps booting me back into the recovery mode. I have to press the Power button and Home button for the screen to go blank and then quickly hold down the Power and Vol Down button to see the moboot menu. From there, the default option is Cynogenmod and I can boot into Android.
The /boot/moboot.default app has only one line and it's "CyanogenMod" (without the quotes). When I reboot the TPad, it reboots just fine. It's just when it's rebooting from the recovery mode, that it can't escape.
Any idea how to fix this?

Recovery mode problems

So I'm trying to wipe cache partition but for some reason when I go to recovery mode it takes me to a different menu with less options. And one of those is wipe cache partition. And I'm doing the steps correct, hold down power button, home button, and volume up button then let go when the Android logo appears etc. But it still takes me to this different menu. Any help?
