What does the android icon with an exclamation mark mean? Exclamation mark on the phone

Has your Android smartphone turned off? Bring it to us!

If the phone screen shows an exclamation mark, and the green android (operating system symbol) is lying, it means that the operating system of your device is lying.

Android lies - Exclamation mark on your phone!

The system refuses to work because:

• the android is damaged by a virus;
• an application incompatible with the OS was installed;
• the phone was flashed incorrectly (ineptly) or with an incorrect OS version.

How to raise android?

1. Even a non-commercial antivirus reliably protects the system from malware. Ignoring the risks of viral damage is more expensive.

2. In case of incompatibility with the application, the problem is treated with the "reset" button. After rebooting, the device will most likely work.

3. It is guaranteed that the exclamation mark on the phone will disappear, the android will again greet the user after flashing - installing the Android OS on the formatted drive of the gadget. But you can try to raise the system without flashing, by resetting to factory settings. For this:

• we enter the settings menu using a combination of touch keys: home, power and the volume down keys, holding them together (provided that the home key is available), wait for the service menu to drop out;
• select yes in the menu using the touch volume control, the device should reboot automatically;
• if it is not overloaded, select the rebootsystemnow menu item.

Important!

Resetting to factory settings will lose all user data (photos, recordings, etc.). Cheap Chinese smartphones are dropping Cyrillic and Latin support. In order not to have problems with decoding hieroglyphs, and even more so not to damage the "stuffing" with unqualified firmware, it is better to immediately contact a specialist at the nearest service center. The service also provides a guarantee of maintenance of the restored software. To store personal data, it is better to use computer hard drives or flash drives.

In the event that you are a simple user and you have no time to figure out how to remove exclamation marks on the phone, lying androids or other misfortunes, then the simplest thing is to contact the CHIP service center. Our experts will put the operating system of your gadget in order in a short time and at an affordable price. Phone flashing is one of the most demanded services among our clients. Bring your sick gadget and literally in an hour or two pick it up completely healthy!

In this case, put it on charge for a couple of hours. Then, hold the off button for 15 seconds (or press reset). Wait 15 minutes for the tablet case to cool down (the back cover may get warm when charging). Now try to turn it on (3-5 seconds the button is on) and wait 2 minutes.

Please accept my condolences, because if you are reading this article, then your Android tablet has stopped turning on. The reasons can be "iron" and "software". The first reason is the physical inability to turn on due to damage to the battery, board, cables. The second - someone screwed up the operating system on the tablet, and due to the fact that it got up crookedly after, or some freshly installed program turned out to be extremely incompetent, the device cannot "start".

The tablet does not turn on at all

1. Remember the last time you charged your electronic friend. One of the most common reasons is a tablet completely discharged. In this case, even if you put it on charge, it should take some time (sometimes up to 10 minutes) when the tablet has enough power to turn it on. Sit near the patient, and with a break of one minute, hold down the power button for a long time until the screen lights up. And yes, you need to make sure the charger is working. If there are no changes, check on another device if the charger is working, or change it. If you are interested, then you need another article.

2. Remember, maybe you gave a tablet to a child? Perhaps the baby shook the screen against the corner of the crib with all his might and damaged the display. In this case, the tablet itself may work, but the screen will have to be replaced. The same situation if the tablet landed from a height of one and a half meters on the asphalt or tiled floor. On your own, you can do little to help him - you can only sympathize with the poor fellow. Usually, a damaged screen is evidenced by mechanical visible defects, or the absence of an image when turned on (instead of it, only the backlight can be seen, and even then not always).

3. The tablet did not fall, did not hit, but there is no image? It is unlikely, but still: it is possible that the video adapter has come.

If your tablet still has a guarantee, then it's stupid to fix it yourself. Take it to the service center and do not worry. Of course, you can download diagrams on the Internet and try to fix it yourself or give it to a friend, but it's better not to do this.

The tablet turns on only halfway

A software glitch is to blame for everything, and only that. In such cases, we see the display backlight turned on, and then an endless load (the ANDROID inscription is constantly shimmering), or we see an image with a broken green robot.

This may be due to:

1. Incorrectly installed or crookedly working games, programs, launchers.

2. Forcibly terminated system processes that ensure the stability of the operating system. This can easily happen if you “kill” the system process through some kind of task manager (or dispatcher), or a third-party “battery saver” program. Believe me, I had this once.

What can be done in such a situation?

There is a chance to "revive" the tablet by resetting its settings to the factory settings. It is done using Hard-Reset, and it is better to google how it is done specifically for your model. Especially if you have a tablet from a Chinese manufacturer. I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the instructions for hard reset on various devices. I will briefly describe the general principle, most likely you will need to do the same:

1. Turn off the tablet
2. We take out the memory card and SIM card (just in case)
3. Hold down the volume up key ( and for some it is a decrease!) and the power button for about 10 seconds, the time is also not the same for all tablets.
4. The tablet should vibrate
5. A menu appears. Select the item with the volume and power keys Settings... Further - Format System
6. We choose Reset Android, the tablet will reboot
7. All data and settings that were in the device's memory will be erased and return to the factory settings.
8. Don't be alarmed if you don't succeed the first time, it mostly works the second :)

If this instruction did not help, try using the advice on hard reset from the commentator Dima in the article, you can not look for the advice itself in the comments, I added it to the article. It also helps to bring the device back to life. And how to restore the tablet after an unsuccessful firmware is written.

Just in case, an English-language video instruction on a hard reset for the Acer Iconia Tab A500 tablet:

If a lying Android appears with a red exclamation mark

In many, I noticed in the comments, everything ends like the picture, or something like that:

This is the stock recovery mode (if you are wondering what it is), and there is nothing wrong with it and it is not worth fearing. What's more, you can - ClockWorkMod Recovery. If you see it, then it works - and that's good. You got into it because you entered the wrong combination for a hard reset, and I warned that it is not the same for all tablets. In this situation, you can press and hold the power button until the tablet turns off and try again, or just wait 5 minutes until it turns off and repeat the process. Try again, as a last resort, you can just reflash.

Fastboot Mode

Sometimes, when trying to find the right combination, users end up in Fastboot mode. In such a situation, we see a lying "Android" with an open belly / belly, but without an exclamation mark. An example of such a menu for Nexus 7 (2013) in the photo:

If you got here, then use the volume buttons to select Restart bootloader and press the power button to confirm your selection. Perhaps this will help you boot up a tablet that was not included before.

In general, it is useless to advise something specific here, since each model has its own corrals. For some tablet models, you just need to press the "Home" button, if a lying Android appears with an open belly - and a menu will appear in which you can choose to reset the settings. And for some - simultaneously press the volume up and down. And wait.

There are quite a few 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 complex is the problem in which a notification about the absence of a command is displayed on the device's 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, nevertheless, does not complicate the process of its solution.

The role of factors contributing to the appearance of such an error can be a whole list of manipulations with a smartphone. These include:

• Smartphone software or OS update that did not complete properly;
• , during which there were problems;
• 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 to avoid the appearance of similar problems in the future.

Solution to the problem

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 entailed 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 perform it, you should:

1. When you turn on the smartphone, hold down the volume button, after which a menu will open
2. In it, select the WIPE data factory item, after which a reset will occur.
3. Sometimes, during the procedure, the smartphone may "ask" what to do with the user's data. In most cases, they should be removed for the device to work correctly.

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

It so happens that when you turn on your smartphone or tablet, a sad picture appears: a green Android with an exclamation mark, which is displayed directly from its "belly".

What is the problem?

If this happens, then, clearly, this is a 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, there is no need to worry, now we will try to solve everything on our own without any workshops and certified service centers.

How to fix

In fact, there are two simplest ways to solve this problem.
The first way is that you need to go to Recovery (a special mode of entering the bootloader, analogous to BIOS). To do this, turn off the device, and then hold down the Vol (-) and Power (power button) key. 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 the Recovery mode (recovery), then you need to select the Wipe data / factory reset item, but what you need is factory reset, that is, reset to factory settings. If you do specifically wipe data, then everything will be deleted completely.

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

Nothing works

If you are unable to cope with the problem of displaying an exclamation mark when turned on, then you can ask for free help on the RulSmart forum, in the Android first aid section. They will help you there, experts answer every day and to everyone, but describe the problem in detail, as well as in a respectful tone, we hope there is no need to explain here?

Mobile OS is not as reliable as it might seem. The "No command" error in 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.

Bug reasons

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

Error "No command" in Android

How to fix No Command error

Before doing the following, you should apply all the simplest steps - reboot with removing the battery, memory cards and SIM cards.

Method number 1 - reset to factory settings

When turning the 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 dedicated team designed to remove such bugs.

Method number 2 - Flashing

This is an extreme, but an effective solution when you see that your Android is lying with an exclamation mark, and Hard Reset does not help. If you have not done such OS changes before, then entrust the flashing of your phone to someone more experienced. You can try to install the latest OS release, or vice versa, do a rollback. If after reinstalling something went wrong, change the version and source of your software. There is really a lot of low-quality content now.

• In dead phones, the firmware file is uploaded into the phone's memory via a USB cable through a computer, with the subsequent activation of the installation. There is enough information on the web about this.

Breaking

All devices break. In such cases, you need to either try to identify the cause yourself or contact the 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 need to seek advice from specialists.

As for the battery, it is worth mentioning that sometimes it is enough to simply pull 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 buy a new battery right away.

More solutions

• Checking the device for viruses. Modern smartphones are very susceptible to them, so antiviruses become more relevant than ever, after a reset, you should immediately check.
• Try starting your device later. Let's say put it on charge and turn it on after a couple of hours;
• Dry or clean your smartphone. Various third-party elements in the case easily lead to short circuits.

Conclusion

From the above, it is worth drawing one conclusion - the "No command" error on Android is written only during serious problems, therefore formatting the phone, flashing and repairing the main methods of recovery. I hope you figured out what to do about the "No Command" problem in smartphones and tablets. The biggest request - if you have another solution, describe it in the comments.
