  1. For applying OTA update, don’t need a custom recovery. Android logo with an error sign and displays no command is usual. Just press power button and Vol up/Vol down together for few seconds and release to enter into recovery.

  2. My stock recovery isn’t working. It shows an android logo with an error sign and displays no command. I am not experienced enough to run custom recoveries like CWM etc.
