I have a brand new nexus 7 and I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted. I'm trying to sideload the kitkat update but whenever I try to boot into recovery it brings up the no command screen in recovery . From there I tried holding power and volume up and it just boots into the same screen that says no command. Is an unlocked bootloader required to sideload or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Did you try holding the power button and just tap the volume up button instead of holding it? Should work, it's what I did and it got me into recovery to finish the side load

Press a key (Vol+ or power or.. ) and you should see some options to choose. I was hanging at the same point when I was rooting my device...

already done it but im still at somesort of stock recovery what should i do next?
When you say stock recovery do you mean the bootloader, if so toggle the vol button until it says recovery then hit the power button, hopefully Twrp will boot, if not try one of the tools in the dev,s section to do a full stock recovery from your pc

I just got my Nexus yesterday I absolutely love it I can't figure out the button combination to force into clockwork recovery I can use the app to get into recovery what is there a button combination that will put me into recovery please help me thanks

You could just do adb reboot recovery when it's booted.. much simpler than random button combinations (I've never got those to work either).

You can do this by holding both volume up and volume down together when powering on. Then you use the volume rocker to select recovery option.

Actually it's just vol down + power.
I ended up in download mode last time I tried vol up + vol down + power
Thanks I thought those combinations brought you into fast boot.. I guess what your saying it's from there you can select recovery....

What buttons do I press
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Hold power and both volume up/down. Choose recovery. Go Hawks!
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Once you get into the recovery screen, you may need to press all the buttons at once (don't hold them) to get to the options. Usually choosing recovery takes you to a red Android.
or you can learn to use adb and simply type "adb reboot recovery"
Correction, it's not all buttons at once, it's actually power and volume up, momentarily once you see the dead android with red exclamation. The blue recovery options will then appear.

Agreed,several apps that can do this for you
But if you don't know how to get into recovery,you should be very careful when flashing anything
Hi to all
I updated my nexus 4.2.2 to 4.3.3 through the ota.
Now i tried to unlock&root with the nexus 4 toolkit(last version 1.6.8)
Never mind what i'm trying to do, when the device trying to get into recovery there is a lying android red icon with: "no command"
I believe this is a soft brick , but the device is working and the android is boot up normally,
I allso tried to press power key and after he was pressed i conitnue to hold him and press volume up, the only thing that happend is
a red light and no recovery menu, i tried every way to use the tool but the recovery isn't back!
Please help me guys!
You are in the future or what?

You mean't Android 4.3 and the recovery does this for security.
To access the recovery you have to press volume up and power until it unlocks the menu.

You have to keep pressing it and holding it until it unlocks.
Mine and the others unlocks fine so yours should work.

Wait, a red light?
Are you on low battery?
Maybe it is either a low battery command, access denied to to too many attempts or incorrect combination.
Try doing the same to the up and down keys followed by the power.

Battery are full
The battery are full,
I tried doing all the combination , my recovery is dead!!!

Pressing the volume up and power key in the same time continuously?
And no I do not mean hold.

I also have the exact same issue. I never tried entering stock recovery before now and I tried to do it now, after updating OTA to 4.3 and rooting with wugfresh toolkit, 1.6.8. Regardless of how many times I have tried, it just reboots normally and can't access the stock recovery.

So you cannot access the recovery using the bootloader?, if so then it is probably corrupted.
I have the stock recovery image file here which you can flash via Fastboot.

I imagined the same. The toolkit itself, is giving you the option of reflashing the stock recovery, I think that I will try this at first. The weird thing is that the phone boots up normally, works as it should and is rooted successfully.
Actually there was no need to flash anything new. I finally made it to work. When in the "No Command" screen, you have to press the following:
1) Press only the power button first
2) While holding the power button, press the vol up button for a couple of seconds
3) Let go ONLY of the vol up button, while still pressing the power button.
Tested and working!
Just looked this up for a customer at my shop and works like a champ. Thank you

Excellent. Thanks for that. It was doing my head in.
The question is though will OTA updates still work? And the answer is yes. I flashed back to 4.2.2 and the 4.3 update came through OK. Happy days as I may well pass my N4 on soon and it needs to work 100% for a non tech wife.

Hey guys
My question is how can I boot into recovery without factory reset.???
Because when.I do the button combo power and vol down to enter,
It shows push 3 times power to factory reset and enter then recovery....
I am afraid of pushing 3 tomes power to enter recovery because of the note factory reset....
Are there any other possibilities to enter recovery,.????

Twrp and rom manager apps both have a boot to recovery feature. There are other quick boot apps as well

Don't worry, it doesn't wipe anything or do an actual factory reset. I think TWRP did something to bypass that because you'll find that after the 2nd press of the power button, you go straight to recovery without losing anything. As another option, similar to a post above, you can also install this from the Play Store and it will give you an option to boot directly to recovery: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
