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
OrangeNik
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.

Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.4
I can't post a link because I don't have 10 posts!!!
Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,

Perhaps you can go to ROM Manager, uninstall Recovery, then re-install it?

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Ok I will try that and let you know if it works in a few hours I gave the phone to my brother for free since I bought A samsung (used to samsungs and love then
Anyway should also mention that when I try to reboot into recovery with rom manager it reboots goes to the loading box thing then it wipes my data Like i said I tried that method in a few hours and get back to you here.
nope
didn't work ;.(
Man go to the screen u have posted the images above , then use KDZ to flash back Man!
This is "DIAG MODE" so select it in KDZ program
So select KDZ file ( download if u have tried urs so far)
No error .. when u click to start upgrade ur phone will apper in emergency mode. Then the KDZ will flash flawslessly
Sent From ... Lg e400 <-- {[Brasilian Here]}
Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)
Hi,
**Long Story**
I'm new here - I refrained from posting as I know a repeat post can p*** people off but I can't find my problem or fix it.
My own Sony was stolen a week ago - My brother in law kindly gave me his old S5 as a back up phone.
He has never had any problems with it EVER. I did a factory reset (from the settings menu) to clear his data and straight away I was in a boot loop (Handset vibrates, Samsung logo displays, blue LED, vibrates, handset switches off.. over and over again) the only way to stop this is to remove the battery. I cannot enter recovery mode but I CAN enter download mode. According to the settings the handset was running the latest version of lollipop.
I took the phone home anyway, thinking I could fix it - leaving the battery out in my pocket.
When I got home, I put the battery in and the phone turned on, unfortunately I forgot to put the sim card in - so I removed the battery, put in the sim card and... Boot Loop!
At this point I was really frustrated so I left the battery out and went to sleep. I woke up in the morning, put the battery in and it worked fine, all day, then all of a sudden the phone switched itself off and now I'm back in a boot loop and this time it isn't wanting to work again.
I have:
- Flashed with stock roms using Odin (5.0 & 4.4.2) - Yes, I used the correct firmware for my handset.
- Flashed with Kies to the latest firmware
- In desperation, tried the "Bash your power button against a hard, flat surface" trick
- Shouted at the handset
None of these have worked and every post I have found says to put the phone in recovery mode, I CANT. When I try, the blue "Recovery Booting" text is displayed, but just restarts anyway...
Weirdly and at random times, twice, the phone has powered on while plugged into my laptop, but the screen is blank, I get message sounds and the soft keys below the screen light up, but the screen is blank.
Any body have any idea?!?!! I'm vaguely techy, however not with this kind of thing. Any help would be much appreciated. What confuses me is there was no problem before I did the factory reset.

Try flashing just the ROM again, and then try booting into recovery, and factory reset
Or try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN, and then boot into recovery and factory reset
Use this guide (Don't worry about the SuperSU part if you don't need root, and ignore the reactivation part as you can't boot the phone yet - start at No.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64961009&postcount=2

Definitely didt let it reboot & pulled the battery. Tried it twice to make sure.
I am downloading the Stock firmware that you have linked and will try that, is there any reason why it started to reboot constantly after I factory reset? It can't be hardware because there was never a HW problem before I reset it. I don't suppose you want to pop down from Durham and fix it?! lol

To London? wanna pay the plane fare? lol
If you got that firmware from Sammobile, the one I linked you to is the same one, that's where I got it from, you could try some different droid versions, try a KitKat ROM too
Not sure why it would boot loop after you factory reset it, if reactivation lock was left on, you should still have managed to get to the welcome screen, but then be locked out of the phone until you entered his samsung account login
Sounds like something bugged out during the reset, and didn't reset properly, or corrupted one of the partitions, which the PIT file should have fixed
Stock recovery is cr4p though, I've ended up with a bootloop just clearing caches from it before, and had to flash TWRP to clear them properly, then flash stock on top again just to get it to boot

OK - Sorry for the delay but unfortunately I had to do stuff - I would have happily sat and tried to fix it all day.
So, I did spend some time on it earlier and a few things happened.
I reinstalled different firmwares, and also tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 a few times with different versions of Odin but nothing would work.
I reinstalled the firmware BOJ1, nothing
Tried PIT again, nothing
Then, after trying PIT I got the Firmware error and connected to Kies... It worked, but now I just have a blank screen (another seemingly common issue with these paperweights) - Unsure what to do now, the phone is on, i can call it, find it with device manager but the screen is just blank. FML.

If that still fails, try flashing a stock KitKat ROM from Sammobile, see if downgrading the OS is a big enough change for it to overwrite whatever is causing the problem
Wondering if TWRP has flashed, but the no screen thing is stopping you from knowing one way or another - if we could get into TWRP, we'd have a lot more options, including custom ROMs

Thanks,
I'll wait for that to download and try.
So - I used accessibility mode to get into settings and do a factory reset... It was difficult, I even thought that the Dark Screen setting might have mysteriously have been turned on but nope.
Rebooted and got the Bootloader screen with the Samsung logo and Recovery Booting text, after a few minutes the screen went blank and the phone vibrated and then nothing!!! :crying::crying::crying:
I have just put it into download mode (I only know this because the many hours I've spent doing this I noticed that the battery and device goes cool when its in download mode) and will try the KitKat flash once its downloaded - Thank you for that btw.
Its so strange - it cant be an issue with the actual screen because it *sometimes* displays the logo.. What can it be?? Its also odd that from when I originally reset it, it could'nt boot into recovery. I'm worried that everything I have done has screwed it up more? Can the Recovery/Bootloader be "Broken"? Its so confusing, I hate tech that doesn't behave.

You don't need busybox, that's for creating your own debrick image, the tutorial stops here:
Flash this Debrick file to your 16GB Micro SD card with Win32DiskImager
*Insert your Micro SD card into your computer (backup any information you may have on it we are going to ERASE, FORMAT it to ex FAT
*Open win32DiskImager
*Navigate to the location where you downloaded the correct Debrick file
*Select your Debrick file by double clicking on it
*In the upper right corner of Win32DiskImager you should make sure that the drive letter assigned to your sd card is selected.
***Which ever drive that is listed will be erased, formatted
*Click write in the bottom right hand side
put the Debrick SD card in the Phone, Pull and Replace the Battery
Plug phone in usb and boot into download mode
yout phone should boot into download mode then flash stock firmware via odin

You're saying you can't see anything on screen in download mode, just guessing it's there because it cools down - but that could also mean it's not in any mode
With this method, you might get a display to use, then you can flash normally with ODIN with download mode visible on screen
I always use stock rom, but I decide to try custom rom, everything went well, but I notice that the screen don't rotate. And a lot of apps it's not working because of that. So I try to return to the stock rom, but every time a get bootlood, I just can put custom roms, I have try more than one (RR 5.7, RR 5.8, Cosmic OS, LineageOS and CyanogenMod 13.0) and every time the same problem, don't rotate the screen. My S5 is the SM-G900M version, so if someone know what I can do to fix that.
Sorry my English.
Find your exact phone model here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/
And download the file (it will be slow).
Then make sure you have USB Debugging turned on in developer options and if not, enable it.
Go in download mode on your phone and connect it to your pc via USB.
Open Odin, select the file you've download under the AP section and press Start. Now wait until it's done and your phone restarts.
First boot will take some time, don't touch the phone until it shows the lock screen.
You can't get in a bootloop by flashing official Samsung firmware with Odin as that file contains not just the ROM but modem, kernel and recovery as well. Thus getting rid of any conflicts that may happen before they even have a chance to happen.

Well it depends on how many apps you have installed. For me with around 350 apps it took around 20mins I guess. And yes, during those 20mins it just showed the Samsung logo flashing (as if I'm in a loop).

Try flashing again with Odin. Never give up xd
I try another one, and installed well, but still dont rotate the screen. I think broke. I google it and the results it were not good. Lot of people have the same problem and there is no fix for it. =(
hello, i had a samsung j5 (sm-j500f) its imei has been stolen. i contacted with samsung and they said we can restore your imei if you have it. unfortunately, its box is missing and sticker under the battery erased, so we couldnt figure it out that way. we throw that phone away for a while. a couple days ago i found it and i wanted to give it another chance, but it doesnt open now, no reaction for any button conbination (recovery or download mode) and says set warranty bit: kernel. i realized, this error mostly occurs due to custom rom flashes etc. but in my case, there is no such thing. i was using it with official software. i wonder are these two things (error and imei theft) might be related or is there totally another situation here? are there any chances for getting this phone back to life?

Its normal, you cant fix it. Its not an error, its just the system showing a mini debug interface. Where did you get the phone from? Someone else used it? Bcs they tried to install a custom ROM on it, failed and just left it as that. If you shut down the phone, hold down Powerup button, down volume and home button you will enter download mode where you can install stock ROM and fix this soft brick. Follow this

thanks for the answer mate, but i guess i needed to give a little bit detail for the problem. i was the first user of the phone, i bought from store not from someone else. so it had original software from the beginning. i am aware these kind of issues mostly caused by flashing custom roms etc. but this is different. i contacted with samsung customer support when this happened and they said they can fix and give its imei number if i give the imei but unfortunately i had nothing. i couldnt find phone box and the sticker under the battery was faded out. i put the phone away for a while and a couple days ago, i found it and wanted to try my luck one more time. one the other hand, you mentioned download mode but i tried all button combinations and no response. if i can enter download mode, i probably would have been flashed original software, but still there is imei problem. i guess i will let this phone go. i cant find any other solution.
