When nothing worked, I dismantled the whole device from each of the points, let it rest for 10 mins. Then I removed the adapter to the HDMI cable & made it direct. It has worked! There is some update happening for 10 mins. Fingers crossed! Will update in a day.
@@MikeLowry488 it didn't work for him either. I don't know why so many people lie about this solution, because I've NEVER found one that works and yet all the comments are like "YAY, THANKS. WORKED PERFECTLY"........
I work in the Fire tv department. Try this. Leave it on that screen. 2). Unplug wifi router from power for 2 minutes. 3) Leave tv on that screen for up to 6 hours. You have a 50% chance that at some stage it will just spring onto action. This is the only reliable way to fix this bug
A second thing you should probably try first is this : Hold the Play button and the select/circle button at the same time until screen says that fire tv is switching off. Restart and see if it works
It would be good to know when everyones firesticks and boxes went off, just how recently they had been upgraded before they stopped working. The problem is if you cant get them started then you will never find this out and most probably just buy a new one when really it should be amazon who are liable for this repair or replacement if they sent the god dam update. My 2nd generation box which now wont start is one that I very rarely use so this couldve happened anytime over the past 12 months. Can we not all get together and get some exact dates calibrated together or something when these things went off ?
Add me to the numbers. Nothing works. Tried it all. Won't even factory reset. I liked the firestick better than the roku but now we just use the roku. No plans on replacing it.
what do you do if you ended up using the remote for another fire stick and now trying to get it working and you have the remote connected and you have tried everything else
I have a generation 3 fire stick and it's been stuck on a bootloop for 5 months now and I've done every damn thing they say on RUclips to get it back online but it is still stuck let me know if you find a trick that'll work I would greatly appreciate it
Good videos. I have a clumsy problem. I installed the Play store and it stayed on the logo and I tried all the possible meters and nothing. I had to buy another device. if you know of a solution
Nothing worked. Not even the message to restore to factory settings. I truly don't know what to do anymore, I've tried everything. Black screen with flashing logo is all I get.
This happened to me tonight. My fire stick is 2 years old. I am buying a new one. OH, I got a whole $5 discount if I return the old one with remote and hope Amazon approves. If they don't approve, they send it back and charge me $5 - they'll probably charge for return shipping .. A- Holes!
At the start of the video you say how you can help if your stick is stuck on start logo/bootup. With that in mind how can you use remote to do a factory reset when it is clearly stuck on logo/bootup screen. Can’t help but feel this video is just up to follow your link to buy a pointless power adapter that we don’t need. You show what buttons to press then show a screen of info to reset to factory settings. That won’t happen if our stick is stuck on logo/bootup screen. Pointless help.
Gary you are absolutely spot on mate and I thought the same, but bought the adaptor as a last resort and absolutely nothing happened. neither the keyboard nor the remote are even at the stage where they are communicating with the firestick/ (box in my case)
most times this happens is when it get stuck in update maybe while the stick isn’t in use holding the back button and forward on the circle for a little bit normally will get you to the factory reset screen
No offense, but when you undo the stick, totally, you don’t have to touch the power box. Why would you have to undo the power box if you unplug the power from the stick and the HDMI there’s no common sense right there there for doing that
Hi, QQ: I did the factory reboot nad after choosing the language, the device is stuck on looking for networks, what can I do to fix this issue?, thanks!
But but…. My views, my precious precious views. Every single website advertising a fix for your Firestick is also advertising actual advertisements- these creeps have set up a micro-industry around getting as much traffic as possible to their sites and videos because they make money off ads. They don’t give two shits about fixing your device, they just want you to click on them so they can make .005 cents on every view

back to the hdmi it loaded for a few ( ab 5-10 minutes) then I clicked on the play button (between the 2 back and foward arrows) and the select button (big circle in the middle) held that for a few seconds and it went to a black screen then I pressed home and it came back.
TYSM I TRIED THE FIRST ONE AND IT WORKED! MY TV HAS BEEN STUCK ON THIS SCREEN FOR DAYS
did everything it's not working my thoughts are why didn't Amazon put a reset button physically on the firestick
Because whoever designed the firestick are braindead!!!
The 1st step worked....unplugging everything and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Thank you!
Right🤣🤣😅
I have the cube what wrkz for that

Once it came on, did a factory reset. Leaving the HDMI direct without the adapter.
Ok I’m gonna try this since nothing seems to work…
Nope, didn’t work for me…

@@davep2323 LMAO you ain’t lying, mine been unplugged every since… I’ve given up & decided to just gone & buy the latest one out🤣🤷🏾♂️

Exactly
It's all bs
Yep. Me too. Just stuck on fire tv logo and it does not reset.

Samee
The last one worked. Factory reset 🥰 I tried all the unplugging and plugging back, different ports ect... thanks again for the Factory Reset
First step worked for me. Thank you!

Same here. Mine is stuck in the boot loop and nothing on RUclips has worked so far.

On point!! I followed all your steps. One of them worked!! Got me out of a jam!! Thanks!!
why lie?
Add me to the numbers. Nothing works. Tried it all. Won't even factory reset. I liked the firestick better than the roku but now we just use the roku. No plans on replacing it.
New Roku units are way less annoying then they used to be, they fly through menus and load programs instantly now
I want to thank you so much. My Fire Stick TV was not working once I did this. It came back on It gave me stress. Thank you.😊🙏🏽
Mine still does not work. I've tried all of the fixes on Amazon's forum and videos.
Did you figure it out
lol Right there with you, Been down for like 6 months now and finally decided to tinker with it again today but no go.
you are the man last step worked thanks bro
what do you do if you ended up using the remote for another fire stick and now trying to get it working and you have the remote connected and you have tried everything else
mine still isnt working
tysm the 3rd step worked!
I messed mine up. Probably by removing the the factory launcher by following some youtube video. Now it just boot loops forever.

Same problem. so no solution?
Why is everything for fireSTICK 😢They make a tv too omg this is crazy amazon is a hack
Send it back. Tell them it doesn't work & you want it replaced.
Send it back. Tell them it doesn't work & you want it replaced.
How do I pair my Amazon remote
Solved it buying a Roku stick.
You know what you just reminded that I replaced it with this damn firestick. I PULLING MY ROKU BACK OUT!!
It Worked thank you
I ended up throwing away the entire Vizio tv.

None of these solutions worked for me. :(
Me to
Not working. Any other option?
Normal Bruder Alt + F4
Thanks for the video but we’ve been working on it for over an hour and nothing works.
Straight to the garbage and got a new one. Simple.
Thanks bro

If this doesn't work, send it back & tell them it doesn't & you want a new one
My fire tv checking for update then unable to update on screen. How could i fix it?
What if i have the remote in my cell?
I have tried everything multiple times and nothing is working idk what to do now
What I lose everything that I download it if I factory reset it
Yes. Every profile losses in all apps. .
I don’t have any of that stuff except lights and the plug
I have a FIreTV 2nd Gen (metal box) that gets stuck in Optimization. I tried those ideas to get it out of Optimization but no luck.
It wouldn't factory reset
I literally tried everything and nothing worked.
Nothing worked. Not even the message to restore to factory settings. I truly don't know what to do anymore, I've tried everything. Black screen with flashing logo is all I get.

I did everything still not working
Most of the time, you plug it in and let the logo stay for at least 25min. It somehow resets it self. Worked of me of the 2 I have with that problem.
Tried that. Still hasn't fixed the issue. 😩
@@englishatheart same here. I left mine on for days and weeks at a time and still did not work.
Not worked a single one
