Nexus 7 (2012) stuck in "no command" bootloop

[tylerdavies]

Just got the OTA update for 4.4 about 40 minutes ago (yay) but during the update the tablet popped up with "error" with a dead little Android. The tablet restarts and now I am looped with it saying "no command" and the Android with an exclamation point sign coming out D: It will go through the first loading screen (the one that just says "Google" and has the unlocked sign" twice and then give me the no command error.

The tablet won't go into recovery mode, the same message pops up. The tablet is unlocked and rooted with stock 4.3. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same exact problem with the official OTA that was just sent to my N7. Google broke something big time & bricked my device!!!

Anyone know how to get out of this bootloop of death?? :'(

I had the same problem trying to put the update on through the factory images, when it came up and said NO COMMAND I started freaking out and I was pressing buttons at random and then it went back to normal don't know what I did though

Just got my update, mine is stuck in the boot screen. It just shows the four colored circles merging. Any suggestions on how to get past this?

Looks like Im not the only one.

stuck on "no Command" as well via OTA 4.4. on my unlocked but unrooted 16gb.

went into fastboot mode via Volume buttons + Power. I only have the options for Restart Bootloader, Power Off, Start and recovery mode. All leads back to the same No Command screen.

Thought I'd give you guys an update on what I did so you don't attempt it. I rebooted the devices Power + Volume down and got into fastboot. From there, I used the volume rockers to select recovery and pressed the power button. You then get rebooted into recovery mode ( Android guy with ! ). I tried a few times to figure out the exact button combination that got me the menu, but I wasn't able to. Regardless, I (randomly) pressed the hardware buttons and a menu popped up with a couple different choices. I tried to clear cache, no change. I also tried wipe data/factory reset, no change.

I can't use ADB because I didn't have USB debugging enabled, but fastboot commands do work. I tried sideloading, update and flashall and still no change.

I am on an unrooted, locked Nexus 4. If you guys have any other ideas, please chime in.

**** i am in the same boat. Unlocked, not rooted, no custom recovery and I got an error while it was installing the over the air OTA. Sideload not working. Not Cool! How did your re-flash them?

I ended up using the Nexus Toolkit to get going again. I followed the instructions on this page and ended up with 4.4. I would have preferred an upgrade, but I gave up. Interesting enough, I thought I was going back to stock and would have to install 4.4. But ended up with 4.4.

same here with my nexus 4, does anybody know how to fix it? i'm starting to freak out

Damn, I also have the "No Command" after the OTA. I will also try the Nexus Toolkit

I was the same with Nexus 4 but Nexus Toolkit fixed it even though I lost all my data, Play Store is slowly restoring all my apps tho

Nexus toolkit doesn't do any good though when your nexus 7 is stuck in system recovery, you are not rooted and you haven't installed the drivers and used nexus toolkit with your nexus 7 prior to getting stuck in the no command bootloop. I had usb debugging I previously but I already did a factory reset to see if that would help, so I am not sure that USB debugging is on anymore.
