What Does No Command Mean on Android?
Contents

Android “no command” error usually shows up when you try to access the recovery mode or while installing a new software update. In most cases, your phone is just waiting for a command to access recovery options.

What do you do when your Android says no command?

Turn off your phone, press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons. Press the Volume down button twice to highlight “Recovery” and hold the power button to confirm. When the while Google logo appears, continue hold the Power and Volume Up keys for 3 seconds. Let go the Volume Up key but keep pressing Power button.

How do I fix my android it wont boot into recovery?

First, try a soft reset. If that fails, try booting the device in Safe Mode. If that fails (or if you don’t have access to Safe Mode), try booting the device up through its bootloader (or recovery) and wiping the cache (if you use Android 4.4 and below, wipe the Dalvik cache as well) and reboot.
