I've gone through all the steps to get my phone into recovery mode so I can wipe the cashe partition but whatever I do, it won't boot into recovery mode. I keep on pressing the power button and the volume up button on startup but like I said, it won't boot into recovery mode. I've also tried connecting it to my computer but still, nothing.

Android Version: Android 15
One UI version: 7.0

The wipe cache partition (WCP) option was removed with the February security patch. This is in line with other Android OEMs who have also removed that option from recovery. Seamless updates with A/B partitions make manually clearing device cache after a system update moot.

It appears that WCP has also been removed for devices older than the S25 and A55 series, that have traditional cache partition structures. I've seen some speculation that this is because virtual A/B partitions have been enabled for those devices. Samsung, of course, has not confirmed anything, but this approach would make sense.

So you're saying that I can't get rid of the "system UI has stopped responding" message every time I boot up my phone?

You never said that's the message you were getting. How would I know that?

You're right and I apologize. I have been getting that message a lot after starting up my phone. That is why I posted this thread in the first place. I apologize for not starting with that

Hello, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your concerns with your device displaying a system UI not responding message and attempting to restarting multiple times. Let's try a factory reset since the troubleshooting you attempted did not resolve the issue but, please be sure to back up your device before performing the reset: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002030

If the factory reset does not resolve your issue I would recommend you getting set up for service. Thank you for visiting the community and I hope this helps.
