The green android man is lying down. What to do if there is an exclamation mark on the Android screen (how to fix it)? What can be done in such a situation

It happens that when you turn on your smartphone or tablet, a sad picture appears: green Android with exclamation point, which comes directly from his “stomach”.

What is the problem?

If this happened, then it is definitely software problem. A common failure of the operating system. Of course, in most cases, it was you who had a hand in this.
But this is a fairly popular and widespread problem, don’t worry, now we’ll try to solve everything on our own without any workshops or certified service centers.

How to fix

In fact, there are as many as two simple ways solutions to this problem.
The first method is that you need to go into Recovery (a special mode for entering the bootloader, analogous to the BIOS). To do this, you need to turn off the device, and then hold down the Vol (-) and Power keys. In some cases, the combination may be different, for example, Vol(+)+Power, Vol(-)+Home+Power, Vol(+)+Home+Power and so on.

As soon as you enter Recovery mode, you must select Wipe data/ factory reset, but what you need is a factory reset, that is, a reset to factory settings. If you do wipe data specifically, then everything will be deleted.

The second method is to reflash your smartphone or tablet. It is more complicated, since here you will have to look for both the firmware and the flashing utility, unless, of course, you flash it via Recovery. You can even use stock (standard) Recovery for firmware if you have official firmware for SD Card.

Nothing works out

If you cannot cope with the problem of the exclamation mark being displayed when you turn it on, then you can contact free help to the RuleSmart forum, in the Android first aid section. They will help you there, specialists respond daily to everyone, but describe the problem in detail, and also in a respectful tone; we hope there is no need to explain here?

New icons after Android Oreo update (Galaxy S8 and S8+ and newer)

New icons appeared with the update of smartphones on Android Oreo in the following models:

Samsung Galaxy S-series;
Samsung Galaxy Note series;
Samsung A-series.

Icon	Description
	The new icon is the traffic saving status; it indicates that you have enabled the traffic saving function on your smartphone. (Under the table there are instructions on how to remove the icon and disable the data saving status).
	The icon means that your device does not have preferred SIM card status. When you use a dual SIM smartphone, you can choose your preferred SIM card.

How to remove an icon on Android: triangle with arrows

First of all, let's figure out why the function of saving data or saving traffic is needed. The fact is that many applications work and synchronize over the Internet when you are in a Wi-Fi zone; your mobile Internet limits are not spent as soon as you start using the mobile Internet, mobile traffic will eat up applications background. To reduce mobile traffic, the traffic saving function is turned on and in the notification line you can see a triangle with arrows.

The traffic saving function performs the following:

Reduces mobile data usage.
Increases time battery life.
No notifications.

How to remove the triangle with arrows icon:

Open Settings on your smartphone.
Then go to Connections.

The green android robot no longer greets you when you turn it on, but lies accompanied by an exclamation mark.
So, if you observe this picture - the android is lying with an exclamation mark, then you can be congratulated, you have made your first unsuccessful experiment in interfering with software your device. What is it, and most importantly, what to do with it and how to restore the viability of the device? The search for answers to these questions must begin, first of all, by finding out the reason that led to this condition.
If you installed an incorrect program for Android, then after rebooting it will definitely please you with an image with an exclamation mark. There is only one way out - to do a hardware reset by selecting Wipe data/factory reset in the engineering menu.

Entering the engineering menu if your Android is different on different Android smartphones, but the combination of the home, power and volume down keys is recognized as standard. On devices with a touch home button, a combination of the power and volume down keys is usually used. The key combination suitable for your device must be pressed with your fingers and held until the service menu appears on the screen.

After the inscriptions appear, you must select the appropriate item by moving up and down using the volume rockers. After selecting this item, several lines will appear on the device screen asking whether you agree to delete all data from your device. After selecting the yes line, the device memory will be completely cleared. The next step, if the device does not reboot automatically, select rebootsystemnow, which means rebooting the system. If after these operations your device has restored its functionality, then we can congratulate you. The only negative this method is the loss of all information - including contacts, SMS, photos and downloaded applications.

However, if you regularly synchronize your phone with Google and remember your account login and password, then your losses will be insignificant.
If the above method does not help, then you need to completely replace the software. There are two ways - the first is flashing the device using a USB cable and a computer, but it will only help you if the “usb debugging” function has been enabled in the device settings. The second way is to update the software using a flash card through the engineering menu. Both methods are very risky and the slightest violation of the instructions will lead to the complete destruction of the device. At this stage, you should think about whether to try to restore the device yourself or trust the professionals.

If you still decide to flash an Android with an exclamation mark yourself, then you should carefully study all the information provided on the Internet about this issue. Certain types of Android devices have significant differences and features regarding software changes. Briefly and generally describe this process, then it looks like this - you find the firmware file on the Internet, download it, simultaneously studying reviews about this version and installation information. After this, you decide on the method of performing the Android recovery procedure with an exclamation mark.

If you choose the method with using usb cable, then unpack the firmware files into the root directory of drive C on the computer, install drivers for your smartphone if necessary, turn off the phone, use the key combination (usually the combination power+volume up) to enter the phone into firmware mode, connect the device via a USB cable and follow further instructions programs. At the end of the process, be sure to hard reset your device to default settings using the recovery menu.

If you decide to resort to the second method and restore the software using the device itself and a flash card, then the steps are as follows - upload the firmware file to the root directory, insert the flash card into the phone and launch it in recovery mode. After the appearance engineering menu select the recovery option using SD and wait. After finishing, you also need to reset your Android device.

What to do if Android has an exclamation mark? In this article we will look at the main causes of device malfunction and ways to solve it.

The first version of the Android operating system appeared in 2008. The presence of a large number of functions, ease of use and low price compared to analogues made it accessible to a wide range of users. It is not surprising that issues related to long-term and uninterrupted operation of devices with this operating system, are very relevant.

An icon on the screen in the form of an android with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the device software. It may be related to or installation unlicensed program, or infected with a virus.

Typically, a user may encounter such a problem when turning on (rebooting) a smartphone or tablet. If this happened to you, what can you do?

The first thing they offer in such cases is this. To do this, you need to turn off the device, if necessary, charge it to 100% and turn it on in the developer menu mode. Since the key combination depends on the smartphone or tablet model, we recommend that you refer to the instructions. In the standard case, this can be done by simultaneously holding down the power, volume down and (or) Home buttons.

In some cases, after this action, the smartphone can return the factory settings automatically, but sometimes this must be done manually. Remember that in this state only the buttons work (you won’t be able to use the sensor). To move up and down menu items, you will have to use the volume keys. In the list, you need to select the “Wipe data/Factory reset” position with the Power or Home button, which means “delete data/reset settings” and confirm your choice in the next window that opens.

The main disadvantage of this action is that it will remove everything from your device that is not factory settings. And these are contacts, messages, photos, audio and video recordings and programs you installed. Therefore, if you do not want the safety of your data to depend entirely on one electronic device, do backups in advance.

If you are not sure that you can cope with this task yourself, it is better to contact a specialist, because any mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences.

If the “USB debugging” function is enabled in the Android settings, you can reflash the device.

Unpack the already downloaded folder with the program on drive C. Check for downloaded drivers for your smartphone and install if they are not there. Turn off the device, use a key combination to enter it into firmware mode and use a cord to connect it to the computer. Next, follow the instructions of the program.

If you have not connected the ability to debug your smartphone via a USB cable, consider another option: reinstall the software using the device itself and a flash card. To do this, you will have to return to the previously described menu again, selecting the option to restore using SD.

In both options, at the end you will have to reset the system again to the original settings.

Let's summarize: Android lies with an exclamation mark - this is not an easy problem, but it can be solved. If you don't want to deal with it often, be careful about what you download to your device. Be sure to install it.

You can fix the problem either yourself or with the help of a specialist by resetting the settings or reinstalling the software.

Dear readers! If you have any questions or comments on the topic of the article, please leave them below.

If you have ever tried to flash an Android tablet yourself, you have probably come across the concept of “Recovery”. Today we will talk in detail about what this thing is, why it is needed at all, and of course, how to enter it.

What is Recovery

Recovery mode is a special boot mode for Android devices that allows you to completely reset the operating system settings, reflash the device, make a backup copy of the entire system or its individual partitions (as well as restore these partitions later) and some other things. At the same time, for this mode to work, the functionality of the operating system itself is completely optional. This is why the recovery menu is often accessed when the device no longer works in normal mode. And this is precisely why this mode is called “recovery” (from English “recovery”).

How to log into Recovery

To boot recovery, the device's hardware buttons are usually used. The most common combinations are:

However, some manufacturers may come up with “something like that,” so you have to search and experiment.

If everything is done correctly, a lying robot will appear on the device screen, on top of which there will be a menu with commands.

Another way to download recovery is through special applications, with which you can reboot your smartphone or tablet into recovery mode directly from the operating system itself (for example, Reboot menu). However, it is worth keeping in mind that these applications require availability to function.

Navigation in recovery mode is carried out mainly using the volume buttons, and selection using the power button. There are also devices in which only the volume down button is used for navigation, and the volume up button is used to confirm the choice.

To all of the above, it is necessary to add one important detail. The functionality of the recovery mode itself is by no means universal, and can differ quite significantly depending on the device. Particularly distinguished in this sense are “noname” tablets from China and some B-brands, whose recovery does not have any list of commands at all.

Mobile operating systems are not as reliable as they might seem. Error "No command" Android is a clear example of this. A fallen brand with a red triangle completely paralyzes the smartphone and nothing can be done with it.

Causes of the “No Command” bug

The reasons for the bug are quite critical damage OS or internal modules. Only something very serious can cause the operating system to crash. Sometimes users themselves are to blame, as they tried to reinstall the OS using files with dubious firmware. The fault may be a defect or a normal technical breakdown during operation of the device.

Error "No command" in Android

How to fix the "No command" error

Before you do what is described below, you should apply all the simplest steps - reboot by removing the battery, memory cards and SIM card.

Method No. 1 - reset to factory settings

When turning your phone into a brick, you can try to restore the manufacturer's settings. There are many options for these actions, but we need the option with a dead smartphone. There is a special team designed to remove such bugs.

Method No. 2 - Flashing

This is an extreme, but effective solution when you see that your Android is with an exclamation mark, and Hard Reset does not help. If you have not made similar OS changes before, then trust flashing phone to someone more experienced. You can try installing the latest OS release or, on the contrary, roll back. If something goes wrong after reinstalling change version and the source of your software. Nowadays there is really a lot of low-quality content.

In dead phones, the firmware file is transferred to the phone's memory via a USB cable via a computer, followed by activation of the installation. There is enough information on this matter on the Internet.

Breaking

All devices break down. In such cases, you need to either try to identify the cause yourself or contact a service center. What can be checked: removable memory cards, closed contacts on connectors, battery, correct assembly of all parts, moisture. If you suspect serious defects, you should seek advice from specialists.

Regarding the battery, it is worth mentioning that sometimes it is enough to just pull it out and insert it. There are references to solutions through its complete replacement, when the old one has already exhausted its working resources. If the device gets wet, it is better to immediately buy a new battery.

Conclusion

From what was described above, it is worth drawing one conclusion - the “No command” error on Android is written only during serious problems, so formatting the phone, flashing and repairing are the main recovery methods. I hope you understand what to do with the “No Command” problem in smartphones and tablets. Huge request- if you have another solution, describe it in the comments.

There are quite a lot of problems associated with the operation of smartphones, tablets and other devices on which the Android system is installed. One of the most common and at the same time difficult problem is when a notification about the absence of a certain command is displayed on the device screen. What should the user do in such a situation?

Possible reasons

There can be quite a few reasons for this behavior of the device, which, however, does not complicate the process of solving it in any way.

A whole list of manipulations with the smartphone can act as factors contributing to the appearance of such an error. These include:

Smartphone software or OS update that did not complete properly;
, during which problems occurred;
Memory damage and other technical problems of the smartphone caused by falling, flooding and other typical incidents.

By itself, the cause of the breakdown is unlikely to help solve the problem, but it will help avoid the occurrence of similar problems in the future.

Solution

When the command error no android appears, what should the user do in such a situation? There is no need to find out the exact reason that led to such unpleasant consequences. It is enough just or, in some cases, to reflash the phone. The reset procedure is quite simple and is implemented very similarly in all modern devices. To do this you should:

When you turn on the smartphone, hold down the volume button, after which the menu will open
In it, select the WIPE data factory item, after which a reset will occur.
Sometimes, during the procedure, the smartphone may “ask” what to do with the user’s data. In most cases, they must be removed for the device to function correctly.

The flashing process is somewhat simpler than resetting, however, it also has its pitfalls. These include the need to fully charge the smartphone to avoid turning it off during manipulation. As a rule, updating the firmware is carried out using standard tools, supplied either with the product on disk, or presented on the website of the device manufacturer.
