[Q] Help Getting into Recovery to do update.

Im pressing several different variations of Vol - + Power Maybe im doing it wrong?
Volume Down and Power button right? I feel Ignorant here this is the first android device i cant figure out how to get into recovery.
yes i have a proper update.zip on my external sd.
Thanks in advance.

Hold the Volume down key and then press and hold the Power key. Don't let go until you see the recovery screen.

I read to turn off your phone and press reset while holding power.
Hope this helps

Huh? Not even close.. If the OP wants to flash an update.zip, he needs to...
1. With device held horizantally, power button on top left, turn OFF the device.
2. Hold down the Volume - button (left side of the volume rocker)
3. Hold down the power button.
4. KEEP BOTH HELD DOWN until you see the Recovery text in the top left corner. This appears a second or so AFTER the Acer logo does.
5. Do not let go too soon or you won't enter recovery mode.

[Q] Factory reset

whenever i want to do a factory reset with the hardware buttons... and go to recovery i just get a android laying on its back... but it doesnt go further hwo do i fix this

When you're at the screen with the android laying on its back, while holding volume up press the power button. It should bring you to the actual recovery screen.

my phones dutch, so it says "geen opdracht" below the android laying on its back, meaning "no assignment" roughly translated, any ideas?

That's what happens when you try what I said? Or that's just what the initial screen says.

these are the steps i do
- phone's off
- pressing hardware buttons to get into bootloader selection screen
- choosing recovery with volume buttons
- press power to choose recovery
- google logo appears, android laying on its back appears, 2 seconds later, it says "geen opdracht" translated "no assignment" below.

And have you tried holding down the volume up button, and then pressing the power button? That should bring you to the actual recovery menu.

at the the android laying down, hold power and press volume up. in english, the text says 'no command' if i remember correctly.

Have you messed around with your recovery at all? What's your current ROM and kernel? You may have messed up your recovery image somehow.
Also, does that text only show up after pressing volume up and the power button or does it exist already when the picture of the Android shows up?

No, i have not messed arround with my rom or whatever, everything is stock, as it was out of the box.
i choose recovery, i get the android laying on its back with below it "no command" written, pressing volume up and power button doesnt do anything, except reset after holding it for periods of time.

Reboot loop

I have had the Nexus 4 for 3 days.
4 hours ago it started rebooting all the time.
Every 5 seconds it was rebooting until I finally could do a factory reset.
The factory reset didn't work in the boot loader because I just got a little android picture with a text under it which said: "No Command"
Now my phone is working again and doesn't reboot anymore but if I try to get into the recovery mode it still shows just the little android logo with the text "No Command"
There isn't a menu to choose a factory reset.

I was just not Android enough to be that fast. :silly:
Thanks for your fast replies!

Could also someone tell me what that Reboot loop was?
Is that a software or a hardware mistake?

turn your phone completely off: unplug it from the usb and hold down the power button for like 20sec. the phone should not be turning on or doing anything. then press and hold the power plus volume down. as soon as the lg logo pops up, let go of those 2 buttons and immediately press and hold power + volume down again. this should bring up an all white screen with black letters. now press the power button 3 times til you get to "factory resetting".

Fast fast try to return it before Trump wins . He will build the wall you know... Jk...
For my opinion LCD has to be changed. Due drop or in your pocked from high pressure i think its gone ...
Since as you said phone is working you can take pictures or receive calls but screen is always black.
Can you see its black color or screen isn't turning at all.

Mine started with green stripes allover the screen and few days later - "black screen"
Samsung change the whole unit.

But if lcd doesnt work so, it wont recognize when i press the screen, can it?

Anyone with this problem

S7 Edge BSoD Extra Info. needed
Hi,
Phone: I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935FD
I was using my phone to send a txt (and at the same time I think I was receiving a text or call because the menu and back touch buttons were lit up) and all of a sudden the phone crashed as I tried to finish my text but the touch wasnt responding, then the backlight turned of like it does if the phone is not being used. But the strange thing was that the menu and back touch buttons stayed lit up (Solid).
I tried many methods to restart the phone:
Power button + volume down (FAILED)
Power button + volume up (FAILED)
Power button + volume down + Home (FAILED)
Power button + volume up + Home (FAILED)
So I thought I'll let the battery die and then recharge and hopefully the phone would automatically restart like normal, however the phone does not show sign of charging now.
So I tried to connect to the PC but it wasn't being recognized however when I press and hold the power button a sound of detecting a device sounds and then when I take my finger off the sound of detaching occurs. But I couldn't see anything happening, until I went into device manager, under "Other Devices" , "Exynos8890" appears which I know is the chipset.
This is as much as I know of the problem. How do I solve thins problem without trying to factory reset the phone and lose all my data?
PS: I didn't backup my photos (My baby children only copies) or Notes in NotePad, which has some very important info.
