Android lies what to do. Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload what is it and how to fix it

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 that can be used to 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 .

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.

The green android robot no longer greets you when you turn it on, but lies accompanied by an exclamation mark.
So, if you see 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 the software of 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 - 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 disadvantage of 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 nevertheless decide to flash an Android with an exclamation mark yourself, then you should carefully study all the information provided on the Internet on this issue. Certain types of Android devices have significant differences and features regarding software changes. If we briefly and generally describe this process, 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 chose the method using a 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 via a USB cable to the device and follow the further instructions of the program. Once the process is complete, 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 engineering menu appears, select the recovery option using SD and wait. After finishing, you also need to reset your Android device.

Hi all! This means that the message now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload usually appears when the tablet or smartphone on Android cannot turn on. At the same time, the Android robot is also drawn on the screen and its top cover is open, there is also a red triangle and an exclamation mark and at the top it says No Command. In short, in one word guys, this is a real hit

Yes, this is not an easy task, this is the first time I have seen such an error. But okay, what do the experts advise? It is advised to do a hard reset, this is a hardware reset with all data in memory. But how to perform this reset? Here's how, you need to turn off the device, then hold down the volume up button + power button and wait until the message appears. Then select Recovery, use the volume up button to navigate, and to select it, use the volume down button. In the menu itself, select Wipe Data and confirm Yes delete all data. After the reset, select Reboot.

Well, here is the error itself (yours may be slightly different):

Also, experts on the Internet advise to reflash the phone to the factory firmware

But let's try to translate this error into Russian now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload. So, I went to Google Translator and inserted the name of the error there:

And here's the translation into Russian guys:

And it seems like I know what it is. For some reason, the smartphone booted into a mode where it accepts some commands and is now ready to accept a command from ADB sideload. But what is ADB sideload? So I became interested! ADB sideload is a command that is used either to flash Android firmware or to restore it if it does not load

How does ADB sideload work? Look, the update comes in the form of a ZIP archive, which is located in the folder with the ADB utility, and the smartphone or tablet must be switched to recovery or bootloader mode. Then the ADB utility is launched and the following command is written:

adb sideload update.zip

That's where update.zip is, then this is the name of the update, the end of zip is the file extension, well, that is, the archive. After entering this command, the zip archive is uploaded to Android and flashed.

What is needed for ADB Sideload? Here's what:

1. you need a computer with Windows, it’s better if it’s modern; they say that there may be troubles in Windows 8;
2. then you need to download the driver for Android and install it, so that the computer can see the device;
3. then you need to download the ADB RUN program;
4. It’s better that the phone is fully charged, but if it’s less than half, I wouldn’t bother flashing it;
5. to connect the phone to the computer you must only have an original MicroUSB cable; check that there is no damage to it;
6. on Android you need to enable USB Debugging, this is in the settings;
7. and of course you need to have the update in ZIP format;

The USB Debugging option is needed to enable debugging mode when connected to a computer, here is this option on the tablet:

Well, here it is on the phone:

You may ask me, where are the links? Why don't I provide links? But I don’t give them out on purpose, so as not to cause trouble! Just a joke, of course, I’m just not very special in all these matters, I can give you some advice, but if you decide to reflash Android, then you need to go to specialized sites, I advise you to look at this site androidp1.ru, this is not an advertisement, it’s just really useful in this matter

So guys, I’m not sure about this yet, but it seems that the solution to the now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload error is only possible in one way, this is flashing. As I already wrote, I won’t write how to do this, but I found excellent material, so to speak, instructions on how to use the ADB Sideload firmware mode, here is the link:

And one more thing, if you are not particularly versed in Android, then maybe it makes sense to take it under warranty? The point is that if you don't know what to do, you can make things even worse, you know? You can stupidly ruin the device!

Here's what else I found, one person writes, that resetting the data doesn't help, you need to do something else. But what? But what, you need to find a secret button, people write that you need to open the SD card door, then you need to shine a light there, and there will be an incomprehensible hole there, as I understand it there is a button there, you need to press it. To press, use something thin, like a needle, but you need to do it very carefully. Then you don’t need to touch Android, everything will be done in about a minute, after which the device can be turned on and everything will be in place, well, all the programs.

It’s not entirely clear, I agree. In short, it's like a reset of something. You need to find a hidden button on the device, you can’t just press it, this is done to prevent accidental clicks. The button is a hole, as the person wrote, it may be where the SD card is inserted. There is a button in the hole inside, you can press it with a sharp object, I don’t remember where it was, I think I had a similar button in the modem, I pressed it with a needle. In general, everything here needs to be done carefully. And one more thing, don’t confuse the hole with the microphone, otherwise you’ll ruin the microphone and it won’t work! URRRA, I found a picture, for example, where this button could be:

That is, it can be not only where the SD card is, but also in another place! However, I repeat that there are many models of a smartphone or tablet and it can be anywhere, you need to search by your model, because the main thing is not to poke where the microphone is!!! Oops, but here’s an example of a button that’s just hidden near the memory card connector:

IN SHORT GUYS THIS RESET IS A HARD RESET!!! And I understood one thing, a hard reset helps a lot of people to remove the error now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload

Here's another example of a hard reset button for you guys:

So, let's draw some conclusions. What should you do if you get this error now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload? Personally, my conclusions are as follows. The FIRST thing is to do a hard reset, if you don’t know how or can’t find the button, then look on the Internet. You definitely need to do this, because it can help! Now SECOND. If resetting does not help, then you need to flash the device; how to do this, I have already given a link to the instructions above.

That's all, I hope I was able to help you in some way and that I didn't write for nothing. I wish you luck in fixing this error, bye

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

Please accept my condolences, because if you are reading this article, it means your Android tablet has stopped turning on. The reasons may be “hardware” or “software”. The first reason is the physical inability to turn on due to damage to the battery, board, cables. The second is that 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 up”.

The tablet won't turn on at all

1. Remember the last time you charged your electronic friend. One of the most common reasons is a tablet. fully discharged. In this case, even if you put it on charge, it will take some time (sometimes up to 10 minutes) before the tablet has enough power to turn on. Sit next to the patient, and after a one-minute break, press the power button for a long time until the screen lights up. And yes, you must be sure that the charger is working. If there are no changes, check on another device to see 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 slammed the screen as hard as he could into the corner of the crib and damaged the display. In this case, the tablet itself may work, but the screen will have to be replaced. The same situation occurs if the tablet lands from a height of one and a half meters on asphalt or a tiled floor. There is little you can do to help him on your own; you can only sympathize with the poor fellow. Typically, a damaged screen is indicated by visible mechanical defects, or the absence of an image when turned on (instead, only the backlight may be visible, and even then not always).

3. The tablet did not fall or hit, but there is no image? Unlikely, but still: perhaps the video adapter has failed.

If your tablet is still under warranty, then it’s stupid to fix it yourself. Take it to the service center and don’t worry. Of course, you can download the circuit 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 only turns on halfway

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

This may be a consequence:

1. Incorrectly installed or malfunctioning games, programs, launchers.

2. Forcefully terminated system processes, ensuring the stability of the operating system. This can easily happen if you “killed” the system process through some kind of task manager (or dispatcher), or with a third-party “battery saver” program. Believe me, this happened to me once.

What can be done in such a situation?

There is a chance to “revive” the tablet by resetting its settings to factory settings. This is done using Hard Reset, and it’s better to google how it’s done specifically for your model. Especially if you have a tablet from a Chinese manufacturer. I highly recommend that you read 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. Press and hold the volume down 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. Use the volume and power keys to select the item Settings. Next - Format System
6. Choose Reset Android, tablet reboot
7. All data and settings that were in the device’s memory will be erased and returned to the factory settings.
8. Don't be alarmed if you don't succeed the first time, you usually succeed the second time :)

If these instructions did not help, try using the advice on a hard reset from commentator Dima in the article, you don’t have to 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 a tablet after unsuccessful firmware is written.

Just in case, English video instructions for 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 in the picture, or something like that:

This is a stock recovery mode (if you're wondering what that is), and there's nothing wrong with it and you shouldn't be afraid of it. Moreover, you can - ClockWorkMod Recovery. If you see it, it means it works - and that’s good. You got into it because you entered the wrong combination for a hard reset, and I warned you 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 simply 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 the “Android” lying down 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 get here, then use the volume buttons to select the item Restart bootloader and press the power button to confirm your selection. Perhaps this will help you boot up a tablet that has not turned on before.

In general, it is useless to advise anything specific here, since each model has its own paddocks. On some tablet models, you just need to press the “Home” button if a lying Android with an open belly appears - and a menu will appear in which you can select to reset the settings. And for some, press volume up and down at the same time. And wait.
