I cannot for the life in me get in to recovery mode. I have tried Vol up & power & Vol Down & power. Nothing

How do I get in to recovery Mode to clear cache?

You need to have something in your USB, your headphones or a cable to computer I think

What button combination do I use & does the cable have to be plugged in already?

Try with cable in first and use the same combo you usually do.

Do you plan to wipe cache?

Q: how do we go back to Android 10?

Who's going to do a full factory reset now we have this update? Or are we just going to wipe cache

For the life of me I cannot get into recovery to clear the cache. I have the BRI N9860. I am using my AKG headphones. They are plugged in. I keep holding the volume up button then hold the power button. When are you supposed to release either of them? I have tried keeping hold of both, or releasing the power button at the first logo screen and all other options I can think of. After maybe 10 or 15 seconds there is a strong vibration and it then goes on to start normally, although it seems to start in flight mode for some reason and Nova is no longer my default launcher. What the h**l am I doing wrong?

[jirka607]

I found out that the game driver app is no longer preinstalled does that mean its not needed or should I install it?

Thanks. Yes I just got it to work. As you say, I had to connect the phone to my computer before doing the buttons. Connecting my AKG earphones did not work, as others have said it should. Maybe there's something wrong with them but they work as earphones so I don't know. I hope this may help someone else.

Actually looks like in terms of security patch we were ahead of other models since they prio HK devices on that. I was actually thinking the ui3 along with the Feb sec. patch was an update on coincidence. Or maybe it was the plan all along who knows

After android 11 update keys cafe (goodlock) is still not working on N9860. I am reading the issue is with HK version but not sure. Can someone verify??

Yeah just tried, same problem as before. I recommend you use swiftkey with Samsung theme which is exclusive for us.
