Wipe Dalvik?

[hajabooja]

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

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.
