Are you rooted? You can first try to simply wipe your cache partition in safestrap then reboot. If not rooted you can get in stock recovery by powering off your phone then pressing and holding down the volume up button and the home button followed by the power button and continue holding down all three buttons till the screen appears then release the buttons and you'll be in Stock recovery. From there use your volume buttons to navigate to where it says "wipe cache partition" and use your power button to select it. After the cache is wiped just select "reboot". Be careful not to select "wipe data" lol. See if that helps.

[Q] motorola bravo stuck on motorola boot screen

im trying to get my Motorola bravo out of the motorola boot screen. i rooted my phone with superonclick. that wasn't the problem, what was the problem was that. i wanted to install a new font on the system. i changed the file name because i read this stupid artical about doing that. and now i am stuck on the Motorola screen. i have already wipe/factory reset and called at&t and they say i can return the phone and get another. but if there is anyone out there that could help with this. then i would be a verryyy happy person! cause i wanna do this and get back to my live
Out of curiosity...What method did you use to wipe data/factory reset?
I found myself in this situation a couple of times and factory reset + wipe data worked.
Just so we are on the same page, what I did is have phone completely off, press volume down and hold, then press power button till Motorola comes out, then release both buttons.
Android robot with yellow triangle comes out. Press the lower right hand part of the screen and you should see a few options on the top. Use up and down to select factory reset and wipe data, press the bottom portion of the screen to confirm, touch the OK a few times if you feel the bar isn't moving.
Then you should be prompted that your phone has been reset and you are OK to reboot.

I'm having the same problem, but nothing happens when i press the lower right hand part of the screen.
I rooted it with superoneclick. the problem arose when I tried to flash a bravoX rom. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Try using the volume rocker. If you press them both at the same time the menu should come up.

finally! thx for the release details.
Is there any way to force the OTA update (faster)? I've heard of clearing cache at the Google framework app an rebooting.
Anything else?
Thx

Boot in flashboot mode and select recovery. Wait a bit and recovery shows up. U will find there the wipe cache button.

No... still no retail EU JB nowhere. A member from Hungary published that he'd been adviced from Motorola staff that they're running a kind of test fase now and the massive distribution starts after that - from 4 to 14 days after initialization. That practically means the following week or the week after.

Hi. To wipe cache power off the phone. Then hold power button and down volume key simultaneously till the phone starts to ''boot menu'' where you go to recovery mode. Navigate using down volume key(NOT up volume) and to select it use UP volume key. Then wait for the android logo with exclamation mark. Press up and down volume key at the same time and you will see the menu where you select wipe cache partition. To do so navigate again with volume key (in this mode you can use both up and down) and select wipe cache with power button. After wiping is successful select restart phone with power button and you are done....

No it won't. Just hold down volume up, power button, and home button, and then in recover select factory reset. Report back on how it is.

Cache Clear Through Recovery

Does anyone else's Turbo take a relatively long time to clear the cache in recovery? I've done it a few times now and each time it has taken close to 10 minutes. Other phones I've tried usually finish the clear in a minute or so? Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
Mine always takes several minutes. I've never actually timed it, but I would guess 5 or 6 minutes?
Mine takes about 20min every time.
IMO I think that a DT thing across the board, at least with the XT1254. I have 7 other friends with the DT and they all experience the same thing( and so do I )
It is a painfully slow process on the DT.
My maxx even in cm recovery takes 10 minutes to clear
Me too I think it's related to the recovery both are unfinished versions of recovery
How is anyone clearing the cache? Going by the steps online, I can't even get to a point to clear the cache. When it says click up to select, it just goes up to the option above. Hitting power just boots the phone. Can i have TWRP yet? - XT1254

When you boot into recovery press and hold the volume up button and tap the power button once to activate the recovery command list
same here on maxx 7/ 10 min
Same here. Not really an issue tho
What it takes to clear the cache and the cell is in operation ... the difference is that everything is done from the recovery while the other cell .. makes the second stage when turn on the phone ... still need to wait a while.
sorry for English
has anyone tried to clear cache after using the mofo root tool? I tried to get into the recovery so I could clear cache, but am unable to do so...When I select recovery I just get the green android icon with the red icon on top. Any advice?

see post #9 in this thread,
Hold the volume up button and tap the power button once when you are in recovery
Yes it takes long to erase cache. I do it one a week.

I'm having the same issue. I follow the instructions to get to recovery to a "T" and still get the little "dead" Andy with the red exclamation warning triangle.
This is, of course, after rooting with mofo root.
EDIT: This is what worked for me - power off phone > hold volume down and power until fastboot loads > use volume up/down to scroll to Recovery > press power to select > once dead andy screen appears, hold volume up and tap (do not hold) power > recovery should load.

Issues with System Update

I have a strange issue with System Uupdate and am not sure if it's causeing my phone to be buggy.
If I check my System Updates Tab I get Last System Update: "Software not updated to G935VVRU2APB5" Failed - Mar 29 2016....error code 454
If I then go and check for new system update, I get "Your Samsung ....is up to date. No update is necessary at this time."
If I then check System update history I see "Software updated to G935VVRS2APB4 Mar 19, 2016..."
However when i check about phone my Baseband version is G935VVRU2APB5.
Anyone know what do I do to get this cleared up?
Thanks!
Since there's not really a way that I've seen to wipe cache without root, (you do have ADB but even with we don't have access to those partitions) (to the best of my knowledge) so unfortunately a factory reset is more than likely your only option.
This happened to me also. Glad I'm not the only one.

You can wipe the cache by powering off the phone and then holding down the Volume Up, Home, and Power button until the phone vibrates. Let go of the power button but continue to hold the others. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to "Wipe Cache Partition" and press the Power button.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I hate to have to do all this without root. Have a good day!
