Can post here for flashing stock carrier or unlock firmwares, also stock recovery removed cache.

The fun stops here. First, it was clearing the cache, now this.

Yes I've always made a habit of clearing cache partition on my Ultras after big updates and was surprised a week or so ago after our last update I couldnn't do it anymore. I thought my phone got bricked somehow until I read they took it away you can only go in there to erase the phone and make cache clearing an automatic thing Android will perform.

And this was on my S23U so it's not just one model.

When Samsung moved to A/B partitions this was going to go away , other Androids that have this A/B partitions don't have clear cache in recovery, will they bring back ADB cmd in recovery that's to be seen as other Androids have it .
