Android phone recovery mode not working is one of the hottest searches on the internet and that’s the reason I decided to help those who occasionally encounter Android no command screen. Being an Android user, you might know very well about Android Recovery Mode. However, for those who don’t know how to fix android recovery mode no command, I have explained everything regarding the problem.

Basically, the Android recovery mode is used when your Android phone is stuck into some kind of serious problem that doesn’t allow it to perform tasks properly. The recovery mode allows you to reset your Android phone cache or completely reset it.

Sometimes, it happens when you are trying to enter into the Recovery mode but you are not allowed and see a No Command error on the Android phone screen. Android no command screen indicates that your phone is waiting for a command or response from the device but failed to get it and as a result, a No Command error is displayed on the Android screen.

In this article, you are going to learn how to fix Android Recovery Mode not working (No Command) issue. So, let’s get started.
