"No Command" screen after trying to flash recovery - Elephone P8000

Hello,
I had attempted to flash the recovery found on the official forums and I had followed the tutorial. I had then tried to put my p8000 into recovery mode with Vol + and Power. After selecting recovery mode with the Vol - button, I see an android robot with a red triangle and it says "No Command" under it. I have tried to flash the Recovery many times and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong or if I need to do something else.
Any help is appreciated.

Same Boat
I seem to be in the same boat, only got the phone the other day so I guess it is an updated version, if you manage to find a solution can you let me know, and I'll do the same if I do, Regards Chris

Can you extract the image from zip file and flash it using flashify? Have you tried that? You are rooted already aren't you?

If I remember correctly........
On the ' No Command' screen, hold down the power and volume UP buttons for a few seconds, then release volume UP. This should take you into recovery.

Does look like a firmware issue because I had flashed the stock rom I found on the theophile website and then I was able to flash PhilZ.

Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:
Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!
So the CWM that was just updated by Koushik on CWM does not work properly or does it work? Was asking based on this
While CWM Recovery is still being fixed

Edit: There's no driver issue if it were on a Mac right? Especially adb sideloading the CWM SuperSu zip?
How do I flash the stock recovery? CWM isn't working and I tried to update the driver like in the video but couldn't find the "manta" that I needed to update. I'm just stuck in bootloop animation now. I'm downloading the stock image right now to try and flash it back to stock..

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!
I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.
If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

Youre a genius. thanks!
When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.
Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!

AOKP to STOCK BIG PROBLEMS

i need some help here guys. i was running AOKP for the longest time and loving it. then today i tried to update to the latest version. i downloaded the rom and went to flash the .zip in CWM. i've done this dozens of times. this time things were completely different. i kept getting FCs over and over. so i booted into recovery again to reflash. for whatever reason, it seemed like my file system was corrupted. folders i had never seen were all over the place. it was a big mess. i decided to flash back to stock. i booted into DL mode and did this with odin successfully. then upon reboot, the phone was stuck at the Samsung logo. looking into this i saw that i needed to boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. i tried doing this but no matter what, my phone will not boot into recovery. i have even used odin to flash CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.0.tar. when i press volume up+home+power i get the first samsung logo with the tiny blue text up at the top saying "recovery booting" but then nothing happens and the phone just goes to a normal boot attempt, which stalls at the samsung logo. please help guys. just for a quick overview. was on [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.1 )Task & Ktoonsez (12/23) (AT&T/Rogers), potential file system corruption during a routine upgrade, flashed back to stock with odin (meaning i can still boot into DL mode), but CANNOT boot into RECOVERY mode. i'm freaking out

First of all, good job on searching before posting! :good:
Second, if you want help, try using capital letters at the start of a sentence and using paragraphs. It makes it sooo much easier to read that way.
Third, just keep trying. But from what you're saying about a file-system issue, that could be bad? It's not familiar to me anyways. Hope it didn't damage the internal SD.
If nothing else works, then try the USB-JIG to access Recovery mode. They're like $5 on eBay.
Okay, try these things.
1) Odin a non-rooted, stock ROM that comes with a 3E recovery and try to access that recovery.
If that doesn't work, move onto this step:
2) Odin a different recovery. I attached one to this post. Just unzip it and then odin it. :CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar:
Try to get recovery again after a battery pull.
If that doesn't do it, then try this next:
1) Odin a rooted ROM onto the phone.
2) Download the attached "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2att" and unzip it.
3) Download this ADB & Fastboot tool and extract it to your C:/ drive with subfolders using this path: "C:/Android/platform-tools/".
Here is the file to download:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294523275
4) Rename the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2att to "recovery" and place it into the Platform-tools folder.
5) Open the JPEG and follow the EXACT same commands in the pic. This will install TWRP recovery for you.
Then try once again to get into recovery.
If it still doesn't work, then buy a USB Jig.

Thanks so much for the advice.
Regarding the TWRP installation, is the phone connected to the computer in DL mode for this?
I am currently downloading a rooted stock ROM. This might help shed light on what is going on here.... I unzipped the .tar you attached to your first post and stuck it in the PDA slot with the phone connected and in DL mode. ODIN did nothing and the returned a FAIL message saying that it "Failed to Open Serial [COM] Port". Hmmmm. Anyways I am going to try to install the TWRP recovery. If not I will buy the USB jig. Thanks again for you help. -jim

The TWRP doesn't use Odin. You have to use ADB/FastBoot like I show in the picture attached with it.
I have yet to find an Odin flashable TWRP.

After flashing the ROOTED STOCK ROM, I tried about 7 times to boot into recovery. It finally did!!! I then was able to do a wipe data and cache and I'm all set.

Why do you continue to hold the home + volume up? I release all three as soon as I see the blue text and it goes into Recovery just fine for me.

[Q] Recovery mode red exclamation problem

Hi,
I just flashed my GNex to the stock yakju ROM using the link since, i wished to receive OTA updates. Everything is working properly except when i am trying to install Titanium Backup from recovery mode. When i get into recovery mode, i see the android logo with the red exclamation mark. Now, there are options available to install a stock recovery but i am uncertain that the OTA updates might stop if i install one !
Is there a way to rectify the recovery so that i can install titanium backup and restore my apps without losing OTA updates ?
Please point me to a link which explain the steps in details if possible as i have never done this before

AFAIK, The red exclamation mark is not recovery mode.
You need to press Vol button up + down + lock. Then phone will reboot into bootloader.
Choose recovery mode by pressing vol down. then press power button.

Ok, i understood that pressing vol up + power button takes you to the actual menu . I want to install titanium backup from the zip i have made. Can anyone tell me how it is to be done?
I see options like
a)apply update from adb
b)apply update from sd card
c)wipe cache/data partition
d)factory reset
Where exactly should i keep my .zip file in the storage ? Inside android folder so that i can use option (b) ? Is there any other way to install the zip ?
The red exclamation mark is the default recovery..................
Flash the latest copy of CWM/TWRP, Google for it, it's not hard..
If you do not have your bootloader unlocked, click on the bootloader link on my signature..
You can boot with a custom recovery without flash it. You should use this command in fastboot mode:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
If you want flash recovery you should use:
(You will lose OTA updates)
fastboot flash my_recovery.img
Thanks for all your answers. I was able to access the menu by holding the vol up and power button simultaneously.

you can use either, but i use twrp.
when the OTA boots you into recovery, you just select the OTA file and flash it.
if you modified any other system files, it will fail and will tell you why it failed.

thats because those people modify system files and think they're still stock.
literally, if you just change the recovery and root your phone, you can still flash the OTAs. if you change anything else, install something that changes system files (such as busybox), you will not be able to install the OTA. it really is that simple.

Stock recovery "vanished"

Hi all, after some modding it seems that my nexus 7 2013 lte custom recovery is vanished. I've tried to flash it via adb, I've flashed the new 5.1 official image, but nothing happen. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode, via adb or power+volume up, all I get is a dead android robot logo with no options.
And, btw, my N7 works perfectly
What can I do?
Thanks
When you flash a new android version you lose root and custom recovery, you need to root and flash custom recovery again as your currently on stock, when that robot is on his back you also have hold down a button combo to access the fastboot / bootloader or recovery, unless you send it the command via adb.
My advice is re-root using cfautoroot and flash custom recovery with flashify.
Ok, thanks! I've flashed twrp (I'm still no-root) and it works fine. Now is there any possibility to come back on stock recovery?
Flashify premium allows you to download and flash stock recovery or bootloader,
if you can't afford it or there not available for dl yet you can alternatively extract the .img files
from the factory image and flash them instead.

Nothing to do. I've extracted the img file from the factory image and flashed it via fastboot but, when I restart the device in recovery mode, it still shows the green half dead androidbot
^Thats normal. When you get to that screen you have to press volume up, down and power all at the same time, all three buttons. Just keep pressing them all at once a few times and it'll let you into stock recovery. It took me about 10 minutes to get in the first time. Don't hold the buttons, a quick press.

So you're saying that normally, on a Nexus 7 with no root and with stock recovery, the combination key to enter in the recovery isn't power+volume up ? Sorry for repeating, but I'm new at modding
I'm saying when you boot into recovery and it gives you the dead android (on it's back I think?) do what I said above.

Yeah it's pita to press, it's why I prefer to launch recovery from flashify or quick boot it's so much easier.
Android seems to love doing things arsed about faced / over complicated it should just be an option in settings, power off like
custom roms along with wireless adb.

Stock recovery giving Error!!

Hello,
Currently i am on beanstalk, and want to go back to stock.
I flashed the stock recovery via fastboot, but when i enter into Stock Recovery mode, it gives me Error icon.
The whole process is to flash the stock zip via sideload, but i am not able to enter the stock recovery.
The stock version i am trying to flash is 2.20.40.160.
I flashed all three files, Droidboot.img, recovery.img, boot.img.
And then turned the phone off, and now it is stuck on Asus screen. Urgent Help!!
hello,
when you enter into stock recovery mode, do you see the robot with the error message? have you try to press power + volume up button? I think the error message is normal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-yOV6y3Wb0
Sorry for mybad english
Yes, i did try that too. But nothing happens.
Got it working, i was long pressing the volume up with power, instead it was long press power + press and release volume up.
