Android Recovery Error Solution

This guide has been enhanced to address the “Android Recovery” or “No Command” error screens common on Google TVs. When your TV is stuck in a recovery loop, it usually means the system software is corrupted, and a “Force Flash” via USB is the only way to recover it.

Guide: Resolving Android Recovery Error via USB Firmware Flash

⚠️ Critical Requirements

• USB Drive: Use a flash drive between 8GB and 16GB.
• File System: Must be FAT32 (Google TVs cannot read NTFS or exFAT during the boot phase).
• Safety: Do not interrupt power during the process, as this can permanently “brick” the device.

Step 1: Prepare the USB Flash Drive

To ensure the TV recognizes the drive, it must be wiped and formatted correctly.

1. Insert the USB into your PC.
2. Open This PC / My Computer, right-click the drive, and select Format.
3. Select FAT32 as the File System and click Start.

Step 2: Transfer the Recovery Software

The TV looks for specific filenames in the “Root” (the main folder, not inside a subfolder).

1. Copy “upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate_project_id_persist.pkg” and “upgrade_image_tvconfig.pkg" to the USB drive.
2. Verify: Ensure the files are not renamed and are sitting directly on the drive.
3. Eject the USB safely.

Step 3: Trigger the “Force Upgrade” (Recovery Fix)

Since the TV is likely stuck on an error screen, a standard power-on may not work.

1. Unplug the TV from the wall outlet.
2. Insert the USB drive into the USB 2.0 port (usually the white or black port, rather than the blue 3.0 port).
3. Plug the power cord back in.
4. Do nothing, until you see the “Software Upgrading” screen appear.

Step 4: The Upgrade Process

1. A progress bar will appear. The TV is now overwriting the corrupted Android Recovery partition with the new .pkg files.
2. Wait: This can take 5 to 15 minutes. The screen may go dark or the LED may blink rapidly.

Step 5: System Restart

1. Once the bar reaches 100%, the TV will automatically reboot into the Google TV setup screen.
2. Remove the USB drive immediately when the home screen appears to prevent the TV from accidentally entering the update loop again.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to reconfigure your Google account.

Why this fixes the “Android Recovery” Error

The Android Recovery error occurs when the TV cannot find a valid boot image. By using the .pkg files on a USB, you are manually providing the TV with a “clean” version of the operating system, bypassing the corrupted internal storage.
