Hi,
My Father in laws Transformer seems to be stuck at the boot animation, if it were my phone I'd probably try going into CWM and wiping cahce first then if that didn't work I'd do a factory reset.
Is there any way I can tell him to do a cache wipe before doing a full factory reset? I can find about factory wipe but not just cache.
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh and I forgot to say it's a stock Transformer..
Thanks
Turn it off > Hold Volume Down & Power until the white text appears onscreen, either let go of all buttons and wait for it to cold boot automatically, or follow the instructions to select 'Cold Boot'

Hey Guys,
i need your help once again.
So my Desire S showed a lot of errors in the last time. E.g. turned off, couldn't connect to mobile internet. So i decided to factory reset. The phone is rooted and s-off.
I booted into the recovery mode and selected
Wipe Cache
Wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
removed the sd Card
and at last
wipe data/factory reset.
After that i reboot and now the phone stops at bootscreen. I can go into the revolution recovery console again. But don't know what do now..
Would be great, if anyone could help me out.

hey. Your post made me smile. since you have done a full wipe, your phone is nearly empty. there is nothing to boot anymore. You need to install a new ROM.
(do I really need to explain how 2 do?)
Always make sure you know what you're doing, you did wipe your phone without knowing the results

Thank yaaaa
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:

i have rooted my phone with gingerbreak and wanted to install gingersnap rom. i followed this methood http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991 and my phone is stuck in fastboot now.... i am able to press home+voldown+power button to go into clockwork recovery i think thats what its called and pretty much nothing else please help im new to this stuff
Go into the recovery, then use the volume keys to navigate around and either the search button or the menu button will select things depending on the version you're using. Once you're there, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot it. The boot will take a long time, if after five minutes it's still trying to boot, then go back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then install a rom like gingersnap. If after another five minutes that isn't working, boot into recovery again do a factory reset (this will wipe all of your apps, contacts, calendar entries etc), wipe system, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (do not wipe sd card or external storage) then install a rom like gingersnap and see if it boots up.
thanks for trying to help but none of that helped i dont really know how to install/flash a rom but i looked around a bit and found that i made a backup before i tryed to flash it so thanks

No matter what rom i'm running I get random reboots. I even took the update from Verizon to 4.4.3 and still recived random reboots. Is this just me? I have also ran safe mode and get them.
Have you tried a factory reset?. If not try that. Don't do it from security settings though. Do it through fasboot. Just be sire to save anything you don't want to lose.
Yes and have tried multiple roms. IT does it not matter what rom or what settings I have.
Sounds like a complete wipe via fastboot may be your only fix. Just be sure to back up all the stuff youbwanna save cause it gonna wipe it clean. I am stock and was having same issue did the reset and everything fine now. I however forgot to make a back up lol
How do I do that? I tried the factory reset option and it took me back to TWRP
Make sure quick boot is turned off in battery settings. Then power down device. Power back on holding down volume and power. Your phone will boot to a white screen. Then use volume down to cycle to factory reset. Only thing is I'm not entirely sure what it will do to s-off and unlocked bootloader. You may want to Google that and see what it says
I've had my m8 for several weeks and never had a random reboot, that's on both stock and custom Rom. If the factory reset doesn't fix it, you may have a hardware issue

Better: You should not try a factory reset from settings if you have a custom recovery installed. It can lead to unintended consequences......
And why would you? That's what a recovery is for! TWRP and CWM both have the factory reset option, which basically just wipes /data (without /data/media), cache and Dalvik. And that's what you need 95% of the time. For the rest format data.
A factory reset doesnt clear everything. I have done a few and nothing ever seems to be reset. When I did it from hboot I was required to set up phone again as if it had just been powered on for the first time.

For the record,twrp wipe was what I was referring to when I said factory reset. I thought about saying wipe, but was afraid of how that might be interpreted.

A factory reset in TWRP (at least on every version I've used) wipes /data without wiping /data/media, cache and Dalvik.
Meaning it wipes all your apps and settings without wiping your personal files, but rquiring ou to go through setup again. Just did exactly that before installing CleanROM 2.0. If you had a different result I don't know which option in TWRP you chose.....
hi there, i have a Mate 9 with screen lock password and i forgot it, how can i remove it?
i tried to wipe data iwith recovery but is not working. Please help me?
A simple wipe data doesn't work, try factory reset via recovery
It will erase everything.
If i press "wipe data/factory reset" on recovery the process starts but jump from 15% to 100% and the phone is not resetted?
