Help Cant clear cache because phone is locked?

[aydreanna]

So I'm trying to clear the cache on my phone but when I get to the boot menu and select recovery I find that my phone is locked and I can't do it? How do I fix this?

You can still get to the stock recovery.. Just use the up volume button to select recover

I tried and it just shows that it's locked code 0 and how to restart the phone.

You're in fastboot, wrong place :thumbup:

Power off your phone

Hold all three buttons until it starts

When you are in the boot menu, select RECOVERY with the up volume button.

When the Android with the red exclamation comes up, hit both volume buttons at the same time

From there you scroll to where it says wipe cache

Select with POWER button this time

Another screen with pop up, scroll to where it says yes, and select with power again

When it's done just hit reboot phone using the power button.

That should do it

OMG thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out forever and kept getting stumped.

Is doing this better than using the app "Cache Cleaner" I have always wondered if it is actually doing anything or not.

Meh ifs debatable. I'm not too sure that the app actually clears as much as this method

While we are on the subject. How do you check the cache size to see if it does anything.

 

[carracerz14]

Not too sure about that. I think it would be easier to just clear the cache in recovery that way you know it's done right.

So I get into the droid guy laying on his back with triagle with ! in it and then I press the volume up and down at same time and it does nothing at all. Any suggestions or help?

1. Power the device off.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Down button then press the Power button.
3. When presented with the Boot Mode Selection Menu, release all buttons.
4. Press Volume Down button to select 'Recovery' then press the Volume Up button.
5. From the Droid triage screen:
