guys
i have a non-rooted phone and all what i want to do is clear the dalvik cache because my phone is slowing down
It looks like verizon has disabled that sequence to get into recovery by doing a Volume UP+Home+Power buttons together. Does anybody know any other way?
Thx
Try just volume up and power its been so long since ive been on stock recovery but im not sure if it has the option for dalvik cache. Someone will correct me if im wrong. If I am right the only way to clear it is factory reset. For next time you post questions like this belong in the q and a subforum.

that didn't work. It basically shows nothing on the screen for as long as I hold it and as soon as i release it, in a few seconds the phone does its normal bootup
From an off state press and hold volume up, press and hold power button until it vibrates, once it vibrates release power but keep holding volume up, hold volume up until you see the blue booting into recovery text. Then let go and wait.
If that doesn't work... YOU are doing it wrong

Stock recovery does not have an option to clear caches.

I am trying to root my GT7510 (wifi only) and can't get into downloading mode to use odin. I tried posting in that forum, but i do not have enough posts. I have tried the volume down + power button method, but all it does is reboot the tab over and over. If it makes any difference i am on build HMJ37.UEKME P7510UEKME. Should i do a factory restore and try before applying any updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you releasing the power button or just continuously holding it down? If it's the latter, that's your problem. Hold volume down, and hold the power button down. As soon as the first Samsung screen pops up, release the power button immediately while still holding the volume down button. You should get into bootloader mode.

Wow, i feel pretty dumb now lol. That was it. I thought it was like getting into the CWM on my epic. Thank you!
No problem! I was new once too, I actually made the same mistake with my Vibrant, trying to get it into download mode.
I like how easy it is to get into download mode on the galaxy tab compared to how I had to do it on the Vibrant

I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.
I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.
I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:
1. holding the volume up button while powering on
2. holding the volume down button while powering on
3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button
4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button
5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in
I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.
I'd appreciate any help in the matter.
Can you tell more history of the phone?
Is it rooted?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which ROM is it running if it's running one?

I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.
I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.
If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!
What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?

When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
Try this:
1) Remove battery
2) Replace battery while holding volume down button
3) Navigate to recovery
Should get you out of the loop.

Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.
It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.
Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

Where do I get the stock rom?
How about you do some searching on your own for a change?
This time search for fruitcakes. That's the stock ROM.
ok so I'm new to this forum, was suggested to go here when i got my first smartphone.
So basically my idiot friends were messing with my phone with the pattern lock. They messed it up 15 times and now I have to sign in with my gmail. But the problem is that whenever I try to sign in, it gives me invalid username/password. I know I'm putting in the right password and right username because I've done it about a million times on my computer and tried to unlock my phone about the same amount of times. I've also tried all my other gmails that my phone is registered with but none work.
I'm still on stock ICS because im new to the android world and haven't gotten around to figuring out everything. Thanks for helping!
Okay first did you possibly have your Android debugging on? If not the only way us a factory reset. You can reset it by turning it off, hold down power and volume down. While holding volume down let go of the power. Then using your volume keys select factory reset and select with the power button.

Okay so first press down the Vol. Down button. Next press the power button firmly for 3 seconds. DO NOT let go of the Volume down button till a white screen (Your bootloader) appears. Then use the volume buttons to select factory reset (If it's not there look for bootloader or somthing like that) press the power button to select.
Volia your phone is now factory reset!

Reset the Phone
You need to do a factory reset. Hold volume 'up' button and power button at same time for a minute or so, then choose factory reset.

The battery is taped into the case with double-sided tape - in other words, very gently pry the battery out (from bottom of battery) & leave it out for a minute or two. Then put it back in & try again.
Fixes for the Boot Loop/Frozen ANS UL40
American Network Solutions (ANS) mobile phones provided by Assurance Wireless (Virgin Mobile) have been known to boot loop, freeze, stay frozen, crash, (right out of the box, brand new) and worse there is inaccurate or completely wrong information on how to do a factory reset and reboot the device. Below I will outline how to reboot the phone and perform a hard factory-reset with no home button on this cellphone.
Problem: Phone won’t turn off, won’t restart, or is stuck on and has no removable battery.
Solution: Keep the phone on and unplugged until battery dies or perform a hard reboot (see below).
Problem: My cell-phone is stuck on and there is no home button to do a hard reset
Solution: Perform a hard reboot. To restart a phone without taking out the battery, simply hold the Volume Up button, the home button (do not press if there is none obviously) and the Power button at the same time. While you hold these simultaneously, the phone will reboot in about 5 to 10 seconds.
Problem: I can’t factory reset my ANS UL40 phone (American Network Solutions) from Assurance Wireless by Virgin Mobile because I can’t get into the recovery menu.
Solution: Turn the phone off (or do a hard reset by holding the Volume-Up Button and the On-Button. Phones with no home button all reboot like this so just wait a few moments and the phone will restart.
Problem: My new mobile phone from Assurance Wireless gets stuck on the loading screen!
Solution: Perform a hard reboot (Volume Up + Power) then when it restarts and you’re on the white Assurance Wireless screen, stop holding power and only hold Volume Up. Keep pressing-and-holding the Increase Volume button and after a while you will be navigated to the Factory Reset Menu. You can wipe the cache partition only or perform a factory reset (which will also wipe the cache). To move around on the menu, use the volume keys (increase volume goes up, decrease volume goes down) and to select your entry simply use the power button (the on button). If this still doesn’t work, see further instructions in the solutions below.
Problem: Phone is frozen on loading screen, stuck in boot-loop even after factory reset/wiping cache partition.
Solution: After you have factory reset or wiped the cache partition you can also choose to install an update from the internal memory or sd-card. If you select this option it will perform a more rigorous factory reset then since you won’t have a package to install it will cancel. I’ve noticed my device getting out of the boot loop once I did this process and it was stuck on the boot screen even after I did a factory reset.
Problem: Can’t get to the recovery menu with my government assistance phone.
Solution: Turn off the phone and with the volume up button held down, power the device on. Keep holding both buttons until you see the white “American Network Solutions” screen with the outline of an eagle. At this point release the power button and continue to hold the volume-up key. After about 5 seconds you will now be inside the Recovery Menu and can do a factory reset.
Problem: My phone has no home button and I need to hard reboot to get to the Recovery Menu and perform a factory reset!
Solution: Hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button at the same time. for at least 10 seconds. Your device will restart and after the white ANS screen shows, stop holding the power button. Continue holding the increase audio key until you are at the Factory Reset / Recovery Menu screen. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and use the on button to select your choice.
Problem: My phone hangs on the blue Assurance Wireless screen.
Solution: See Above.
Even on the Virgin Mobile and Assurance Wireless websites and in the owner’s manual it says to hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key and to keep holding them until you’re in Recovery Menu. This isn’t going to work for two reasons on the UL40: 1) It has no home button! and 2) it will just keep rebooting every 5 seconds if you hold the power button down constantly. You have to hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button until the phone reboots and then let go of the power button while still holding the volume up button. Keep holding the volume up key until you’re into Recovery Mode.
I hope this helps as the information online is either incomplete or completely wrong. Some places say to keep holding the power button along with the volume up key and if you do that the device will just keep restarting, effectively creating a boot loop where there wasn’t any before. Genius! lol. I figured this out after my device, fresh out of the box, froze while charging on the blue Assurance Wireless screen. Finally OCD is good for something! These phones are supposed to be a “Lifeline” but I’d be hard-pressed to get ANYTHING on the line with this potato. Avoid at all costs unless absolutely necessary.
Enjoy. :highfive:

Great advice. Have had an ANS UL-40 for over a year, & they truly stink if you can't root them - which I can't since I've no computer access (for ADB). I honestly miss the old android Jellybean phones that could be rooted with just an app. Oh well.
I have a UL40, I tried the factory reset method, it reset but the phone is still suck on the blue assurance wireless screen.
Ps. It's been like this for days. It stays on the blue screen for about 5 minutes, then the screen is completely black. When I try to turn it on again, it's blue for five minutes then goes black.
Help...?
My ans ul40 keeps restarting. Every 2 to 5 seconds, on its own. I tried to factory reset it with the steps listed above and I can't tell if it works because when I hold the volume up and power button, it does two things, the phone will either shut off again and go into the constant restarting or number 2, it will show me a white screen as if to say the holding down of the volume and power button worked, but then it just goes back into the constant restarting... at this point I'm thinking I have to call for a new phone.
I have a ul40, technically 2 because one wouldn't hold a charge and now this one keeps crashing and giving me error codes. I can't afford to just drop money on a new phone (hence why i got this one) and I am FORCED to do a factory reset every 3-5 days because the memory gets so full, even if I erase memory, disable or delete apps and barely use it outside of texting or calling. Its frustrating to high hell. The code that shows up is either "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAME WORK KEEPS STOPPING", or "COM.ANDROID.PHONE HAS STOPPED"
Any advice is helpful advice.

Have you tried taking out the battery for a minute or two, then powering up? (Battery is only held down with tape - it can gently be pried out). The other option is a complete reset - instructions on holding the power & volume keys, etc, are posted already.
this phone seems to ship with a lot of malware factory-installed (and possibly more built into the firmware?) so it's critical to go into Settings->Apps and disable everything that looks suspicious, including the less obvious "notepad" app and "voice recorder" app. this should help your phone run somewhat better but there's some adware still running that i haven't figured out how to disable, so a perfect solution in theory would be to root the phone as discussed in this thread. unfortunately so far there doesn't seem to be a working root for this phone.
I did fatory reset from recovery until arrivet to let us go then skip sim then next as new device/retrive from cloud then lis of wifi appear and stop at this point nothing else appear to enter
what the solution please?????
