[Q] Went to Recovery mode & cleared the cache & that bricked my phone! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lolipop v5.0 Rooted.
When to the recovery options & cleared the cache option & selected reboot.
Read several threads saying this is 100% safe & recommended to do to speed up you phone.
When it rebooted I got the message
"Process system isn't responding
do you want to close it?"
Then I got several more pop ups
unfortunately, MTP app stopped
unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped
unfortunately, Settings has stopped
unfortunately, Security log agent stopped
unfortunately, Touchwiz home has stopped
unfortunately, Google play services has stopped
Those messages loop over & over & there is just a black screen behind them. Can't get to the menu.
Going to the recovery menu again, I have these options left:
-reboot system now
-apply update from adb
-apply update from external storage
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-apply update from cache
Will any of those (OUTSIDE OF WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET) unbrick my phone?
Too afraid to touch anything now.
Also at the very bottom of the recovery menu there is some wording if that matters at all:
# manual mode #
-- appling multi-csc..
applied the csc-code: spr
Successfully applied multi-csc.

[Q] Vibrant MMS Messaging Error

I have a rooted and unlocked Vibrant. Today I installed Root Explorer and moved some bloatwear to my SD card.
Upon restart and when trying to use Messaging I get this error:
"Sorry The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectidly. Please try again."
I found several lists of "safe" apps to move/remove and stuck with them, but looks like I moved one too many?
Thanks, noob the cat
Go to recovery and wipe cache, then clear dalvic cache (under advanced) then fix permissions, then reboot.
Beware of angry gingerbread man
Do I access the recovery mode with vol up/down power? That only gave me the option to clear all cashe.
I also noticed today I got a similar message when ending a call

Android.process.acore failing issues

Hello. New guy here.
I hadn't used my (unrooted) Gtablet in a few weeks and the battery completely discharged.
I recharged it overnight but when I boot it up, I get android.process.acore failed unexpectedly messages every few seconds. I cannot access the settings, and my virtual keyboard and several other apps (Amazon AppStore, calendar, contacts, email, market) will not start due to the same errors.
My research indicated that this may be a cache issue, so I wiped the cache partition while in recovery mode. This made no difference. ES File Explorer show no files in the /data/
I slso see error messages saying the Tap 'n Tap Western keyboard (process com.android.inputmethod.tapntap) has stopped unexpectedly.
I do not really want to perform a 'wipe data/factory reset' if I can avoid it (I presume all my apps will be wiped).
Is there a known fix beside the wiping of cache?
thanks
When this happens to me, doing a Fix Permissions from Clockworkmod in recovery fixes it.
Have to redo the market fix, and some apps disappear, but other than that everything works.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Menu
2. system settings
3. profiles
4. home key
5. menu
6. system settings
7. profiles (results in no profiles showing)
8. application groups (results in : Unfortunately, settings has stopped)
If you haven’t tried one yet, I would first recommend a soft reset. That’s done by simply removing the battery from your phone, allowing a minute to pass, and putting the battery back in and turning the phone off.
If you’re still experiencing issues with your Settings crashing, . It’s possible there could be some older apps that aren’t compatible with the new operating system that are causing problems.
If it does not work the soft reset
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik done.

I can not factory reset my tablet

My current ROM does not allow me to Turn on the Debug Mode for some reason I don't know. The tablet is provided by our school so it has many restrictions like Facebook, Twitter and any other platforms that is not "trusted" by the goverment. The tablet is being updated like every day to patch the restrictions. I was be able to turn on the USB Debug mode but now they blocked it, too. So I decieded to get tablet back to factory settings so I will be able to Turn on Debug Mode and root the tablet and remove the restrictions. I do press Power Button & Volume Up button to open up Android System Recovery. The weird thing is I only have:
reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't have any other options like "Install from SD Cart" or whatever other tablets have. Anyway I do select 2nd option which is wipe/data factory reset option and Yes -- delete all user data option.
It says:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
.. and after a while it restart and opens up like nothing changed. Same tablet before I shut down. Neither 3nd option does work. Please help me about this tablet. What can I do to root it or make it to the factory reset?

"Unfortunately Contact Storage has stopped working" [FIX]

1. Clear Cache and Data
Try clearing the temporary storage area of your Contacts using these steps:
Go to Settings
Proceed to Application Manager
Select the All tab
Choose Contacts
Tap Clear Cache
Selecting Clear Data is optional since this will erase all the changes that you have made to some of your Phone app’s settings but it may solve the problem based on some users who have tried it.
Go back to the previous menu and choose Phone
Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data
2. Change Date Format
Go to Settings
Select More
Under Date and Time, change the format to 24 hours
3. Delete Rogue Apps
Start your phone under Safe Mode, observe if the problem occurs. If not, there is probably a third-party app causing the bug. Exit Safe Mode and try to recall the most recent app that you have installed prior to the problem. Disable it for a while to test whether the error still comes out.
4. Factory Reset or Flash Original Firmware.
