Hi everyboy!
I updated my Nexus 5 with an OTA update to Android 5.0, but I forgot to wipe the cache partition and now I have a few problems, which I think I can resolve by simply wiping the cache, however once I enter into recovery mode I can't go to the 'wipe cache partition' menu. I long-press the volume up button for 5-6 seconds as advised, but it doesn't lead me to the menu. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Flash a custom recovery
I believe it's holding power, and then press vol up.

I (for no reason whatsoever) prefer to get into recovery to perform factory data resets. Holdinf volume up and hitting power gets me into the proper menu but when I select recovery, I get the exclamation point inside the triangle. How then can I wipe via recovery?

Press vol up + power again when the "!" appears.

I should have mentioned that step doesn't work either. I'm pretty stumped.
hold power and slide from vol down to vol up on that screen will take you to the stock recovery.
Make sure you get the sequence right:
1) See the (!)
2) Hold POWER button
3) Press VOLUME UP button
4) See the UI. There will be options for "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."

Thanks so much. Its all in the sequence. Finally got it.
i was having this issue and found the only way to fix this for me was to re load clockwork onto the phone
I have doogee dg500(mt6589) the phone will not turn on,charge ect.when I run flash tools I get Emi obtain dram failed .5054 message any help or other options will be apprciated.
fix
The first thing is to boot to recovery mode...
1. Pull the battery and reinsert.
2. Hold Power and Vol-Up (the top of the volume rocker) buttons at the same time, until the phone boots to a menu and then immediately release the Power button. The options will continue to scroll and when the arrow gets to [Recovery Mode] <<== , immediately release the Vol Up button.
3. The phone should now be at [Recovery Mode] <<==. If it isn't (or if the phone starts to boot to another mode), pull the battery and try again. There's a bit of a knack to this sequence and I often have to do it many times.
4. Press the Power button twice, then press the Vol Up button. The phone should now show an Androidon its back with a red triangle and exclamation mark against it.
5. Press the Power button to get to the Recovery menu. (I'm sure there's a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't found it yet!)
The next thing is to Wipe cache and then Wipe data / factory reset...
6. Use Vol Down to navigate to Wipe cache partition, then press Vol Up to select it.
7. You'll see a picture of an Android with its belly open and a message -- Wiping cache... and Formatting /cache... Wait until the Recovery menu reappears - it takes quite a long time, so be patient.
8. Use Vol Down to navigate to wipe data /factory reset and press Vol Up to select.
7. Navigate to 'Yes' using Vol Down and select with Vol Up. You'll see a message --Wiping data... and Formatting /data and Formatting /cache - wait until the Recovery menu reappears.
I am copied this info from a willington's reply to someone about this brand of phone on this site.
Hi, i hawe a problem with my doogee phone, when i turn on the phone its stucks on boot screen and nothing happens,,, wipe data and factory reset not helped me
Hi there,i've a new problem :silly:
When i try to wipe cache,the phone reboot after 1 second,withot any message,is that normal?
You mean factory reset?
Press volume up to choose instead power btn.
Why my GT-i8262 phone when turned on even often lit by itself without me press the power button and immediately go into recovery mode?
when I select the "reboot system now" that happens remains back into recovery mode.
I believe you have CWM. If yes then flash CWM again through odin and reboot. It should work fine.
wipe cache and dalvik cache
and reboot.
I have a Asus Fonepad 8 and can't find the option to Wipe the Cache Partition. To boot into recovery I press and hold volume Up + Power Button and am able to enter recovery. But there is no option to either enter Recovery or Wipe Cache Partition. All I get is 5 options:
REBOOT DROIDBOOT
REBOOT
FACTORY RESET
SD DOWNLOAD
POWER OFF
Can anyone help !!!
