I got the ota update for mm but the usual method of wiping the cache that worked for lollipop doesn't work. I hold down and power and I get the first menu screen. I select recovery then it goes to a black screen with a phone with red triangle. I used to then press power and up button to get to another menu screen with the cache wipe option. However, with mm the process stops on the bit with the phone with red traingle symbol, and then it restarts without giving me the cache wipe partition section. My phone is not rooted, so just wondering if anybody knows if HTC have changed the process for wiping the cache for mm? Please excuse my extreme stubbornness and ignorance but I'm a bit of a noob and don't really want to do any technical 'adb connecting the phone to PC stuff thingy', I just would like to know the more simple button sequence for activating wipe cache if anybody knows for me. Thanks for reading and advance thanks for any help given ?

Hi,
I think you should read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and check that you have the right version of bootmenu.
Answer n°5 may help you to start over again.
I have been through this a few days ago, it is quite easy but there is a lot of reading.
The most important thing is to read everything so you can understand what you do.
thx for the quick answer i have try step five but when i do that it bring me to a black screen with a white triangle and a ! in it. i really dont know what else to do
hit both volume buttons at same time it will make a menu visable then choose factory reset
also cm7 flashes a new bootloader so you might have to flash reboot into recovery for cm7 then install again
holding both volume button and the power one does not work it bring me to cyanogene boot loop
You have to press them when you are in the stock recovery menu.
but i cant go in the stock recovery menu or i dont know how cause pressing the down buton i still go to the boot loop and if i do power plus down button i get to a triangle with a ! inside it
To enter stock recover do:
Shutdown phone
Start phone by pressing power + volume down (hold both keys for a few seconds)
Once the android with the exclamation mark is displayed push volume up and down at the same time.
Then you're in stock recovery.
that's great man thx, and what to do once im in there?
wipe data and factory reset
it tell me 4 thing
reboot system( do nothing)
apply sd card :update.zip (saying there is nothing like that on my sd)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
i would like to know what to do from this point on cause i got nothing now in my phone
i did the wipe data and factory reset now when i start my phone it stay on the M logo
now reflash cm7
alright i did flash but i put back 2.2.1 in it i wont play with that anymore lol thx
your welcome
Ok, I rooted my evo and tried some different roms. Couldn't find what I wanted so I wanted to go back to the one I started with on my first try. Long story short, I reflashed it and now I have a lock screen, but nothing else. Evidently fastboot is on, because I canter in to try anything else. Can't get a menu or anything. Just a bunch of force close notifications and an HTC screen. Please help!!!!
Did you try pulling battery and holding both the lower volume button and power until recovery menu(hboot) comes up?
fastboot is on, so it just boots to lock menu. I can receive a call, though.
Yeah, have you tried going to recovery via boot, wiping caches and rebooting? Or if that fails, wipe caches (and data if flashing a different ROM), reflash your ROM and then reboot?
Did this happen on a nand restore, or a ROM flash?

it was on a rom flash. I think i forgot to wipe everything before flashing. I cant get into the recovery or boot menu. Fastboot is on, so it just boots up. Unless there is another way besides holding vol down and power button.
You need to go to settings -> applications -> development settings and disable the fast boot option in order to let you phone do a full reboot.
Alternately, pull the battery out. Put the battery in. Hold down volume down while pressing the power button. Select recovery from the HBOOT menu.
Alternately, in the rom you should have an option to factory reset the device, which will wipe user data.
Edit: It may be settings -> applications and then disable the fast boot option. It's been a long time since I was on sense.
thats what im getting at, i cant get into anything except power menu to turn off phone. It will redeive a call, but nothing else. When i unlock, all i get is an htc screen with a picture of the evo and a bunch of force clse notifications. I cant turn off fastboot. Anyone have any other ideas.
I think I'm screwed!!!!!!
deleted cuz im an idiot and didnt see you couldnt get into recovery at all

Pull battery out insert battery power button + volume down. Pulling out the battery stops fastboot from letting it boot up normally. Pulling the battery stops the fastboot being on affect

+1, hence post 2.
Ok, well pulling the battery worked. Now, so I don't have another heartattack. Wipe the cache, wipe the dalvik cache, what else before I flash another Rom? Thank you cookbook much.

I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

That is exactly what I did, but I ended up on the black screen with the triangle (As stated in my first post).

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.
if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)
When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?
One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.

I wanted to clear my cache hoping it might improve battery life, but now my phone doesn't boot. It gets stuck on the Verizon logo every time! Any suggestions?

When you say you went to clear the cache, did you Try to do it from the bootloader screen? It is very touchy and I have accidentally hit the factory reset before and that does take a long time to reboot. But even just rebooting after clearing the system cache can take a while, but I wouldn't usually expect it to be more than 5 minutes or so.
Do you have a custom recovery like twrp? You can try to reboot by holding down the power button and volume up for 10 seconds or so then as soon as it reboots slide your finger from the volume up to the volume down while still holding the power button. That should take you to the bootloader screen and from there you can get to your recovery screen. And you can try to restore a backup or reflash the ROM from there.
If all else fails and you don't have a custom recovery you can try to reflash the original system.
Since the update my galaxy z fold 3 doesn't play sound full screen or I cant hear anything out of my speakers unless I fold the phone anyone know how to fix this I installed the Software again and it didn't work I'm completely clueless on this factory reset it and nothing I know its a software error also when i open the phone the screen sometimes is just pure black any ideas or suggestions id greatly apricate it
Try this:
Clean cache in recovery modeTo clean the cache in Recovery mode, follow the steps below:
Power OFF the phone
Press at the same time Volume up + power button
release the volume button when your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 vibrates
Navigate with the volume buttons, find Wipe Cache Partition , confirm with the power button
Choose Yes
Then find Reboot system now
This is where you can do a factory reset as well (Wipe Data). However, I would start with wiping the Cache (twice) and see how things work. Last resort, Wipe Data and reset, but be sure to back everything up!
^ Try that suggestion first. It's meant to reset everything so the phone starts fresh, like out of the box.
If that doesn't work, reach out to Sammy/your carrier about the warranty.
