Help! Onn Tablet Factory Reset Showing 'No Command'

General Discussion
1

I’m having a tough time with my Onn tablet lately. It keeps freezing up and doesn’t respond to anything I try, so I decided I need to do a factory reset to get it back in shape. I thought this would be straightforward, but I’ve hit a snag. When I try to perform the reset in recovery mode, I keep getting a screen that says ‘No Command.’ I’m not sure what to do next.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Powering off the tablet: I’ve held the power button and turned it off completely, then tried booting into recovery mode.
  • Entering recovery mode: I usually press the Volume Up + Power buttons together, but that’s when the ‘No Command’ screen pops up.
  • Trying to perform the reset: I’ve tried waiting and doing combinations of button presses, but nothing seems to work.

What I’m looking for:

  • Step-by-step guidance on how to bypass the ‘No Command’ screen and successfully do a factory reset.
  • Any tips for troubleshooting the tablet before trying to reset it again.

If anyone has dealt with this issue before, I would greatly appreciate your help! It’s really annoying to have a tablet that’s not working properly. Thanks in advance for your tips!

When you see the ‘No Command’ error during a factory reset, it usually indicates that the recovery mode isn’t loading properly. It can happen due to a software glitch or a failed update.

That’s frustrating! Could it also mean that you’re missing some critical recovery files? My friend had a similar issue before.

I’ve had this happen with other Android devices. Sometimes, a hard reset can be a solution too! Just holding the power and volume buttons together might get you into the menu.

Thanks for that tip! I’ve heard about that but wasn’t sure how effective it was in resolving this issue.

The ‘No Command’ message can feel ominous, but it doesn’t necessarily mean your tablet is permanently broken. It might just need a software reinstall.

I had a chuckle when my tablet showed ‘No Command.’ I thought it was being rude! But in all seriousness, it’s good to explore troubleshooting steps.

True! A reinstall sounds like a solid backup plan. I’ve read that booting into Safe Mode can help too.

Has anyone tried using ADB to communicate with the tablet in recovery mode? That might help in addressing the software issue behind ‘No Command.’

Safe Mode is a great suggestion! It can often help you determine if an app is causing issues.

I wonder if this error is more common in certain models or firmware versions. It might help narrow down troubleshooting steps.

Honestly, if it’s a firmware issue, you might want to check if there’s an official update available. Sometimes they roll out fixes for common bugs like this.

13

That’s an interesting point! I’d love to see some stats on it. Maybe it’s epidemic in certain batches?

If all else fails, a full factory reset from an external tool could be the last resort. However, tread carefully with that one!

Good advice! I’d be nervous though—one wrong move and you might have an expensive paperweight!

I understand you’re seeing ‘No Command’ on your Onn tablet. This usually happens during a failed factory reset. First, try performing the reset via recovery mode—hold the power and volume up buttons together until the logo appears.

Good point! I’ve heard that if you see ‘No Command,’ it may help to press the power button and volume up once. It worked for my friend’s tablet!

Another step is to make sure your battery is charged. Sometimes, insufficient power can lead to issues while resetting. Let us know if that helps!

So true! It’s a simple yet often overlooked tip. Have you tried that, ana25?
