Hi guys, I have a problem. First of all, I dont have custom recovery and I'm not rooted.
The problem is that when I boot in recovery mode and put the "empty cache partition" option, it shows me the SD card but do not empty or wipe the cache.......is anyone else having this problem or knows how to solve it?
Thanks!

I think there is an issue with the Recovery Menu.
Whenever i went to Factory Reset my phone using the Stock Recovery, i noticed i had to highlight & select the option ABOVE the factory Reset option,
If i highlighted the Factory Reset Option, it wouldn't Factory Reset,
What is the option above the "Empty cache partition" option ?

I am new to android and yesterday I accidentally clicked the red download button when I held the power button down. Then a black screen with yellow text came up and said "don't power off the target!!" I left the phone on for about 30 minutes, but the battery died. Now when I power up the device I get the message com.android.phone has stopped working. I also tried a factory reset but it didn't fix anything. The device is rooted, I checked using the root checker app (i bought the phone from someone). How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes or so. Do you know what ROM you are running? Only other thing I can think to try is trying to boot into CWM and wiping cache and dalvik. The usually fixes a lot of my issues.

After wiping Dalvik/cache, go into Advanced, and select Fix Permissions, just to cover all of the simple bases. If none of that works, you may have to Heimdall/Odin back to stock and start all over again.
I got into CWM, but there is no option for advanced. There are 4 options: reboot system now, apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. There are no other options. Maybe I have an older version of CWM, on the top it says Android system recovery <3e>
Is the wipe cache partition what i have to click to wipe cache. Thanks for the help.

Yes...wipe cache partition to wipe cache.
And it does appear like you have the old 3e Modded Recovery. I forget the version numbers but the CWM recoveries: commonly referred to as green, red and blue, will give you other options including Advanced as mentioned above

If you plan on doing any serious flashing, I'd think you'd want to upgrade to Red CWM. Here's a thread that tells you how.
I'd recommend Method 1:

Are you trying to wipe the phone or refresh a new ROM?
Can you try a different recovery?
What about a USB push?

I am trying to use the Wipe Data/Factory reset option. I have tried, ClockworkMod, CWM Touch and TWRP with no success. I am not sure if it has anything to do with flipping the internal sd card and external sd card

From what I can remember, you are not supposed to do a "Factory Reset." It has nothing to go back to. You are only supposed to wipe data and caches. If you can, reboot into recovery doing 3 finger, it still works, and reflash your rom. If you do the wipe data it will do what you need. The factory reset is a no no.

Not sure what you mean by that...
If you have a rooted phone with a custom recovery - or a factory phone and able to access their recovery...
Factory Reset should wipe the phone and user data and reload whatever ROM is on the phone - fresh...
If you have tried multiple recoverys to no avail...
You may want to try and reinstall your ROM and then do a reset...
If that still don't work - you are on Samsung right? - Grab Odin and push a new package to the phone and try that way.
Have you checked to see if your phone "Privacy" menu has a Factory Reset option?
Does that work?

In CWM, there is just one option to wipe data/factory reset. My ROM is working perfectly but its just that when i switch ROMS, I cannot do a full wipe. I have been flashing ROMs the same way for years now and only for past month I have been facing this issue.

I disagree with my experiences... Struggling for years with a Thunderbolt, I flashed tons of ROMs...
While I didn't like Factory Resets, I did do them from time to time to see if it would help (never did with the Thunderbolts)...
When I Factory Reset, even with a custom ROM, the phone was reset like factory - but using whatever ROM was loaded on the phone.

CWM has two mainstream wipes...
Wipe Cache - a menu option
Wipe Davlik - under Advanced...
Or it should...

I would say flipping the SD cards might be what is causing the issue. If you can, save whatever data you need and go back to 100% stock! This includes relocking the bootloader, which will FORCE ALL DATA to be wiped. After you do this, reroot and try again!
P.S. I believe you can run the fastboot oem unlock command without having to relock the bootloader. Again, this will COMPLETELY WIPE ALL DATA out!

Guys thanks for your inputs and help. Appreciated I found out the issue. For some reason /data does not get mounted automatically. I had to mount and then do a factory reset. That fixed the problem. Thanks again guys!:good:
So I booted into the bootloader and selected recovery. Once you get there, I tried volume up or down to select something, but I don't see anything pop-up. It'd be nice to know how to do a factory reset from recovery or maybe if there is a clear cache and/or dalvik in there? Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!
Factory reset is under settings -> backup & reset. I don't think you will find it in the boot loader menu.

I did an update, now my phone starts in recovery mode. I tried "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" but nothing changed.
Now I want to install a different firmware or (if possible) reinstall Android. Can I do this and how?

Happened to me as well. There is nothing you can do. If it's under warranty send it back. That's what i did, they changed my motherboard for free. I suggest you go for it. Just don't mention it's rooted, there is no way they can find out if you don't tell them. Warranty repair isn't repair anyway they just swap boards or give you a new unit for free. Best of luck. Just don't root it again, i know i won't.
LG Volt LS740. Phone is not rooted, it's all stock.
I can access the screen that says:
reboot system now
apply update from external SD card
apply update from cache
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I can't post a link, but if you go to imgur, you can add this to the end of the url to see the screen: iLR0RL9.png
I tried 'wipe cache partition', but it didn't fix the problem.
I can also access a download mode screen, that just says 'Firmware Update'
Same thing with imgur here: MliSRUh.png
Is there any way to pull the data off the phone, before I try a factory reset? I've been searching and trying things for a few days, and haven't found anything that works... wondering if you guys might know.
Thanks for any help.

If the device is not rooted and does not have USB debugging enabled in developer options, then, sadly, no, there isn't.
