[Q] Nexus One Recovery then clear dalvik cache

I am new to these boot menu.
I was told, clearing Dalvik cache may help clearing up some of the unused cache so I wanted to give it a try.
I was then told the procedure is like this:
1. turn off the phone
2. press vol down and press power once to get into the menu
3. choose recovery using vol down key and press power to choose it
But when I did all these steps, it goes to the N1 boot logo and then a screen with a "!" and an android and stopped. Is this normal?
I was told it is supposed to give me a menu to choose choose "wipe cache partition" then i can reboot your phone again (even though it may be a bit slower).
Anyone nice enough to give me a walkthrough?
Many thanks.

Once you see that ! With triangle around it hold power and hit volume up and it should take You to recovery

Installed CM7 with Gapps for 6.1....HELP!!!

I initially intalled CM7 after cleaning cache and Dalvik and backing up my current ROM using Clockwork. it went good unitil after booting I accidentally installed Gapps from 6.1
Now it boots and loops from the blue CM7 screen to the green andriod asking ' Touch to Start '
I dont know how to get out of this loop or to go bak to recovery manual mode. Please Help. Any chance we can fix this
Thanks

Pull your battery to get out of the bootloop. Then press and hold home while pressing the power button. That should take you to your recovery, where you can wipe and reinstall CM7.

EDIT: I am late to the party, nvm.

I did what you said. When i press power and home button the only menu option i get is 'Clear Storage' to which i pressed yes and 'Menu reset' which i pressed yes. it reboots and back to the loop. Back to loading CM7 and 'touch to begin'

The party is still on. As said installed CM7 with Gapps for CM6 accidentally and now stuck in endless bootloop. Trying to fix it. First suggestion hasnt worked so far

OK so you don't have a recovery (I'm guessing you tried to use rom manager = bad idea). Do you have ADB?

I think I do but have never used it ir dont know how

Is there any hope of recovering the phone or is it just better to get a replacement from Sprint

You need to pull the battery, press volume down + end button (at same time) in order to get to the bootloader. You should then see the skateboarding androids. Press the home button to get into recovery and wipe/format boot, system, data, cache (just to be sure) and then reflash and flash the right gapps.

I doubt sprint would even look at it, let alone fix it or replace it, once they see that you rooted.
Also, I've flashed older gapps with cm7 and didn't get loops. My guess? You forgot to data wipe before installing cm7.

Thank you so much. That finally got me into reboot. Now waiting for reboot with fingers crossed Thank you

Well something went wrong and for all you guys out there with Sprint. They did replace my phone. All i had to do was call and tell them that I was at their Service center to fix the phone and those guys couldnt fix it and it is stuck on the boot screen. But i think i will manage to salvage this before my replacement arrives

Lessons Learned
So the big lesson here is when you need to get into recovery press the volume down and the home button simultaneously and your home free. Thanks to all who helped

Update - Issue Solved
So i did mange to get into recovery and wipe everything off and reinstall cm7 again. Now i hope to flash the right gapps and ill be in gingerbread heaven

If you have a sprint hero, that is actually not correct.
hold home and press power = recovery
hold vol down and press power = bootloader
I don't know what's up with your phone, and I'm glad you fixed it, but if I were you I would reflash a good recovery image just to be safe. Also, make sure when you're getting ROMs you get them from a thread in hero cdma and use the gapps also linked in the OP of that same thread (don't use rom manager IMO). Always flash from recovery and follow the correct steps, that way you should not run into "issues" again. Also, my best encouragement for you, is to search and read. Happy flashing

If you have big fingers, pressing the power button can sometimes press the search button or back button, often causing you to boot into bootloader instead of recover.

LOL, my fingers are so fat, that I have to be REALLY careful when doing these things, or in recovery using the trackabll

Yeah, I have to use my thumbnail which will eventually chip off the paint or whatever it is on the button.

Ha. I actually place the phone on a flat surface a press the buttons.
Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

Hold down the HOME button and then hold the POWER/END CALL button til the phone screen comes on and that should boot you right into recovery if you're having problems with the volume down method

Looping Boot after OTA-Update

Hey Guys,
After downloading the newest OTA-Update for my Note, it rebooted itself and is now stuck in the boot animation. I only hear the Samsung-Jingle once, but after that it keeps playing the animation over and over. I plugged the Note in and let it go all night, thinking it was part of the upgrade, but this morning it was still looping. I am not using a Root or Custom Rom - this is all stock.
I would appreciate any pointers and insight! Thanks.

Try booting to recovery (volume up + home + power) and do factory reset and wip cache.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the VolumeUp-Home-Power: The phone will start, I can see the little Android with the status bar, but then it just moves on to the regular boot animation and I am right back in the loop.

Takes a Couple of tries, otherwise try download mode, volume button down, home button and power button. Then connect to PC and flash stockrom with odin.
Its tricky getting it right. Turn off phone, turn on and emediately press the button combos.
From recovery you can do a factory reset or clear dalvicc cache. Clearing this cache solved most of my bootloops.

Pull the battery out and put back in after 3-5 secs. Hold VolumeUp + Home + Power till u can see "Galaxy Note N7000" screen. then it ll boot in Recovery mode. here u can do "wipe / Factory Reset" and "Wipe cache". then after Just select Reboot.
This method should work. if you unable to get into recovery mode, then i guess something went wrong with OTA update. So you have to flash the Official ROM using PC Odin. You can find link to update Official ROM in my signature.

[Q] Does anyone know the key combination of entering recovery mode?

Does anyone know the key combination of entering recovery mode?

Okay ours is a bit weird. With phone off hold power and volume down. When lg logo appears release power and press again. It'll bring up confirmation dialog on a factory reset. Ignore that and hit yes both times. It'll bring up a screen saying authorizing factory reset and then after a moment will boot into your custom recovery. Enjoy

Can I enter recovery mode without having to wipe data? or how to remove the menu display?

Wel, when you go to recovery and you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, then you are in recovery, do the following when you see this Android: hold de volume up button for 10-15 seconds. Then press the power button with it and let both go. Now you should have your recovery options. In your case I would try a factory reset!
