Nexus 4.3 update failed, "no command"

So i got the new 4.3 update notification on my phone today. Eager to get it i started the installation (battery level was about 90%). After a while the installation went into a constant reboot, always went untill halfway of the progress bar and then phone went off and started again to same screen. I knew it was ****ed up so i went into recovery mode but then it starts to do the update again and i got the "ERROR" message. So i went into recovery again and now i get the "NO COMMAND". I was running 4.2.2 with everything stock, device was not even rooted...
Any ideas?

Unlock your bootloader, and flash the stock 4.3 image manually. Download it from here
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jwr66v-factory-08d2b697.tgz
After that, you can relock your bootloader if you want.

I've got very basic knowledge of android so i don't really know what to do... I imagine if i flash the stock manually i will lose all my data? Because in that case i might aswell go to the store and ask a new one since i still have my warranty...

Ok, if you have a store nearby, go to them. They will fix it properly. With basic knowledge, it's pretty dangerous.

Similar Prob
Hey guys,
I have a similar problem. Tried the upgrade to 4.3 and it stucked.... well now i constantly see the Google-X-symbol and thats all. Tried to unlock the bootloader via developer tools (for later flashing to Stock ROM) but there's no connection. Tried to replug it, etc.
When I start the bootlaoder (via Vol-Down and On-Button) I can choose the options (but recovery is not possible) But hm, the bootloader doesn't seem to be broken.
Can anyone help me? I'm not really a developer (although I work for a software-company) but I already unlocked and rooted devices and I have experiences in changing deep settings.
Help would be great!!! I don't want to sent it to google - I am lost without my S-Phone....
Thanks!

I have a similar issue, I found the update notification on my phone, went ahead with the update and it took ages! The battery was nearly full and the battery fully discharged while it was updating. I was at a friends house so no charger. When I got home I fully charged the phone and switched the phone on and got the nexus cross animation and thats all. I tried to enter recovery mode but got the no command icon.
Any help would be appreciated, I do have experience of rooting and flashing custom roms on my HTC Desire but have not touched the nexus since I got it. So everything on the phone is stock
Heres interesting, My wife tagged me into a facebook post telling peeps my phone was out of order, as she did it, the facebook app on my phone notified me of the tag!! Still got the nexus boot animation showing on the screen!

Ha, that's exactly the same issue.... Thank God I'm not the only one (sorry )

I got the "no command" error after my update this morning. My battery was pretty low, but the phone was docked. I just left the phone alone while I came here to investigate, and it eventually rebooted itself. Then it stuck on the loading X for around 5 minutes, but now it is optimizing my apps. Looks like it is going to work after all.

Mine has been on for a while but its not seeming to play. what mkes no sense is that it is switched on in the background but the nexus animation is the only thing it shows

I'm having the exact issue. I got my update notification this morning and it failed, going into an endless loop. I called google and they didn't know what was happening, so they're sending me a new phone. I don't want to wait for the new one, so I'm trying to fix this one still. I can start the bootloader, but I can't get into recovery. Is there a way to correct this through ADB?

When you get to the screen with "NoCommand" on it.
1. Press and hold power button
2. Then once you pressing the power button, press the Vol - Up
Thats it

Here is the fix for everyone
Ok, I just got off a chat with an Asus rep.
Step 1: Hold the power and volume up/down to get the android with the "start" option
Step 2: Use the volume down to select "recovery mode" It will now power off and power back up with the dead android and "no command" below it
Step 3: While holding the power button TAP, but DO NOT hold the volume up button. You will get an option to wipe all data. Do that.

**SOLVED** [Q] My Droid Razr M won't get past the droid eye on boot up

I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!

You Factory Reset a couple of times, so that tells me you know how to get into recovery. See if you can get back into recovery and try clearing cache/dalvik too. I think you can still do that from stock recovery.
If that doesn't work and your battery is good, you can fastboot to recover it. If your battery was low when you started this, charge it prior to fastbooting. Just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and plug into a WALL charger until it's charged. If the battery is good, you can grab the firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 (use the second one from the bottom, .3, if you flash the last one you will not be able to gain root) and flash in RSD. Another choice is to use House of Moto to recover: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20/ .

OK, so I deleted the cashe and still a no go. For the second step of getting the .3 to regain root. would it be possible to get an even earlier version so I can unlock the boot loader? Also when you say flash in RSD, what is that? I know of the AP flash from the first menu, is that something inside of Recovery menu options?
Thanks for your help!
**UPDATE**
THANKS! I was able to eventually figure it out and used the last option that you said and my phone works! Now working on getting root back. Thanks again!! But I really would like to know if I could do the same thing but with an earlier version to unlock the bootloader.

Droid Razr starting up issue
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Droid Razr and hoping pros to help me sort this out and get my phone running.
I am using Droid Razr but since last one week it is not starting up. Let me elaborate, currently it is switched off and not getting up. While starting it pass through M logo but can't go ahead for startup animation (droid eye animation). Even after leaving on that animation for entire day, it is not going ahead of that.
However, if I connect it to a wall charger (while it is off) it shows battery getting charged. It is taking a usual timing of 90 minutes for full charge.
I have important pictures and data into phone memory is there any way to recover it.
I would appreciate if you can guide me to get my phone up and running as usual.

Moto G4 Plus didn't boot up after official security update installed itself

For the past few days i had been postponing a 40mb security update that came on my Moto G4 Plus. Finally today i decided to do it and it was downloaded as usual and the phone rebooted and it started installing the update. It was all going fine but as the progression bar filled all the way through the phone black screened and has not yet booted up. When connected to a computer the white notification LED light keeps blinking continuously. Please help.

Please give more details,.. Have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-question-noob-friendly-t3526598/post73395955 and read ahead!
He bricked his phone and its also blinking. Did you do the same with your phone?

If your phone had been modified in any shape, then that's the result. You need to start by flashing a standard ROM in fastboot (or rdslite if fastboot mode is not working), maybe directly the last one:

The phone was fully functioning before the small official update. The bootloader is unlocked. It's running the official Android N for Moto G4 Plus. There is no custom recovery installed.

My issue is somewhat similar but whenever i connect the phone to a computer and hold the power button or any other combination for few seconds the computer recognizes the device for few seconds and then it disconnects due to unsuccessful boot.

Even a custom logo will trow a stick in the wheel.
Try to enter fast boot first. If that doesn't work, tray the RDSLite path.

I visited the local service center for Lenevov/Motorolla and they have checked the phone and come to a conclusion that the motherboard indeed has malfunctioned hence the battery power and the software isn't working properly. I've been asked to replace the motherboard. Thanks for your help.

It means that your battery is not functioning well. In case if it is not a hardware problem
Try the below step.
Plug in a charger of another phone with current output greater then 1. And then press volume down key and power key simultaneously. If the device woke up in fastboot mode then you are lucky. If this does not work leave the phone in charging for at least one and half hour. Then try the button combination again.

The guy said the battery and rest of the parts are functioning well and do not need replacement and i don't think using another charger is gonna do anything in this case. Thanks anyway.

i faced exactly same pbm today. ditto. i just gave it to service centre, hope ghost screen n boot both be fixed

Today same issue happen to my moto g4 plus as well after downloading security phone went for installation and never turned on after that.. anyone solved this issue or service center is the only option??

Did you downgrade or flash an older stock ROM at any point? Which update was this, and what stock firmware did you previously have on your device?
If you plug your device into your computer, is it still recognised or is it detected as a Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 or similar? If so, you may have hard bricked your device. Try this blankflash in the following link to repair your device bootloader and then flash the latest stock ROM (September 2017 patch) to fully repair your device. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761 for the blank flash, https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 for the September 2017 stock ROM.

In my case the phone didn't turn on because the motherboard died for some unknown reason while the update. I did take it to authorized service center and he told me it was the motherboard and would require replacement.

Thanks for the reply guys.. Today my phone turned on automatically.. magic and then notification came unable to install update, no changes made...phone still showing new system software available..

system update, fully bricked

I've been using the stock rom on my phone for years, until after one update my wifi went incredibly choppy, so I tried rooting and LineageOS but experienced lots of other issues, so I reverted to the original stock rom.
I've stuck with 6.0 for over a year, unrooted, unspoilt, but I was constantly pestered with update notifications.
I accidentally hit 'Yes, I'm in' the other day and it downloaded the update, and the pestering went next level insane.
I'd hit dismiss and 5 seconds later - DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THE UPDATE? It would reappear a minute later.
So I finally caved and just said yes, curious whether or not my wifi would suffer, figuring it might have been a bad update that caused my wifi issues which has since been fixed.
I installed the first update, which brought me to 6.0.1 I think, and then I installed the update to 7.0.
And then my phone died completely.
The only sign of life is when I plug it into the PC, the charging light blinks, but I don't even see a battery charging screen.
The screen has stayed black since, can't reboot into any mode.
What now?

Does it vibrate or any other indication that the phone is trying to boot? Will it charge? needs to be at least 40% to recover. USB to ADB and see if the phone is recognized on a PC. Could be hard bricked ... there is one other mode that some phones use where the screen is black and the only way to talk to it is through a flashing tool. I apologize that I cannot recall the name of that mode but considering that Lenovo developed this phone it wouldnt surprise me if it was just in that mode, waiting for a boot load update of some kind. A lenovo flash program might be worth a try.

I eventually fixed it using adb following a set of unbricking instructions on XDA.

Bootloop fix?

I have a wifi only tab 4 10" with custom recovery and rom that's bootlooping. Was running lineage os. Seemed stable for a long time, but now flashes the Samsung logo boot screen, a few messages show up in the upper left corner real fast (not se android enforcing)(see pic), then it powers off and repeats. No button combos will let me into recovery. Only flashes the screen and errors for a split second, between power cycling off and back on, nonstop, until the battery drains
Any solutions? It's been so long since i rooted this thing, idk even know where to start.

Download the stock ROM with frija ( you can find it on xda ) and flash it via Odin,
if the device starts again, you can start from zero and flash TWRP, LineageOS, ...
If it's still dead, it maybe is an hadware fault because of an broken eMMC.

Thanks.
I figured I'd have to dust off Odin. Hopefully I still have the rooting resources in the archives so I don't have to actually start from square 1
It's been bricked for about a year now, setting in the old-tech drawer. I can't remember if I was messing with something and broke it, or if it took a crap all by itself. In the back of my mind, I wanna say it was my own tinkering that was the cause, but idk.
Fingers crossed it's not the emmc. Of course, it's pretty old and slow, and the battery is about shot. Wouldn't be a huge loss if it's toast.
Guess I'll find out soon enough
Thanks again
