Help Clear Cache Issue

In the past I have turned off my phone and turned it back on while holding down the home key. when the triangle ! came up I would hit the "search" key and scroll up and down with the volume buttons and select with camera button.

Now I get to the triangle ! screen and I cannot get past it without pulling my battery.

Not rooted.

Just want to clear cache.

This changed slightly with GB, you need to hit both volume buttons once you see the "!". The Power button is now enter also.
 
just hit the camera button for reboot phone....

is the phone doing it every single time you turn it off and back on?

He's getting to the triangle with the ! and has been pressing search rather than the volume buttons. This was changed with GB.

It happens to all of us...and it's Friday.

HERE is a link to when we first got GB that shows the changes to getting into the stock recovery.
 
Hmm...the GB that is with CM7 has the recovery that works with the search button (maybe because it uses the kernel that was with Froyo?). The official GB needs to use the volume buttons though.
 
Thanks. I figured it must be something like that and even dared to try different combinations of buttons. I just assumed the up and down volume buttons were positioned like a teeter totter and couldn't both be pressed down together.
