You are a lifesaver. My firestick 4K froze back in March of 2024 and I've searched all over for a remedy. I watched many RUclipss and read help files from Amazon and other tech advisors but none of them worked. But alas, I found you and life is good again. Many thanks
So do we absolutely need the OTG cable? What about just connecting the hdmi part of the firestick to the TV and the other end to the computer? Will that work that same?
Thanks for adding the app info at the end of your video... that really saved me. I had no idea there was an app, and it was a quick fix before I sent it back to Amazon, as the remote had completely died on me 👍
The factory reset per your video did not work. The "fire tv" logo is just flashing off and on at a 5 to 7 second rate. The factory reset from the keyboard does not seem to interrupt that process.
Thank you im about to try this! My remote works fine but for some reason the firestick bricked itself and only loads 3 options, my profile, bookmarks, home, and settings but the whole screen is grey and clicking any of them doesnt show anything even settings wont open. The home area says not connected to internet prompt but clicking that basically takes me to troubleshoot which leads to a restart and that doesnt fix anything.
I bought a firestick at a flea market. It has childpin from the previous owner. How do I log into my account now?? I connected a keyboard but resetting doesn't work.
Can you name your wifi network the same as it was on the other router? If the Fire TV was configured with the old wifi name, it should find the same name on the new one.
@@Coreyhughesofficial If you have a firestick or fire tv box, use a power block adapter: www.amazon.com/fire-stick-power-adapter/s?k=fire+stick+power+adapter
Mine says press the play/pause button. I have the keyboard connected. Keyboard powers up. The firestick makes a tone threw the tv every 5 seconds. What keys do i need to press?
Would this work on my firestick? Mine is stuck on update screen and keeps failing update and restarting update and can't get off the update screen at all.
Didn't work for me, both of my firesticks are unresponsive. One displays nothing, the other is stuck on Amazon logo. I've tried everything. I have a whole house surge protector as well as protector strips. Two different tvs, tried known working cables. Both Firesticks draw around 10mA of current, and my tvs detect that they are plugged in. Ideas?
I have a fire stick that doesn't have a remote and I used the app on my phone to control it. I had to factory reset it and now I can't connect my app to the fire tv. What options do I have?
@@StreamersWorld I'm sorry I'm not trying to be an ass but you probably might think changing your description in your video because it said: "If You Lost Your Remote" with this process, it would be impossible if you lost your remote because you won't be able to set it up afterwards. You know it's just a thought
@JOE SMITH what cheap and used answer, be original man and i know what im saying because it happen to me and also to a few other guys that tried to do it and couldnt do it without the original remote. Do you want more facts PS: be original
@JOE SMITH hey im not the one asking for facts and giving a WAAAY..... to used dumb answer as saying facts, i gave you the facts you asked for so im not the one who is slow in the head
Sir Firestick reset complete but home screen show. But remote not pair... Plz tell me solution........ I have change battery...... But not pair. Only show home screen pair u remote only
Okay dude I need your help. I have a Firetv (a tv of amazon, not a firestick). My old remote is broken. I buy a new remote. I don't have wifi on my tv (it was being disconnect and don't know why). I cant configure my new remote. Help me plsssss😅😅😢
I have no remote, I've been looking for a work around. I didn't know you could use a mouse and keyboard, that was clever. Will this work to control the firestick?
This absolutely did not work on my bad firestick and to check if it worked at all, I tried this on a perfectly fully functioning firestick to see if it would reset using this method of keyboard/otg adapter. Needless to say, it did not even reset the fire stick that had no problems.
It works for me and others in the comments. If it doesn't work for you, I'm thinking you must be doing something wrong or the keyboard you are using isn't working.
@@StreamersWorld I'm using the keyboard from your daughter gaming PC. The keyboard is fine. The otg cable is brand new. I've used your methods and methods I've seen others post on RUclips. Nothing has worked. Four firesticks going in the trash. The funny thing is all these sticks are less than five years old. The one that still works is the very first original firestick that came out...when the remotes were as small as the size of your balm. I kept these sticks hoping to find a fix but vowed to never buy another one and just bought Roku TVs instead.
@@pridkerri Not all keyboards are compatible with Firestick. Before throwing them away, maybe ship them to me and I can see about getting them working?
I also factory reset but now my fire TV is continuously asking remote I tried to paire with home button/removing remote/ remote reset now not able to use tv. Pls help

I was trying all sorts of things to do this...I knew I should've come to YT first. Thanks, sir, worked like a charm!!!
Well after factory reset.
Firestick is asking for physical remote..
Since it's factory reset I can't connect it via wifi.
Kinda stuck..
Any update?
Any luck?
So do we absolutely need the OTG cable? What about just connecting the hdmi part of the firestick to the TV and the other end to the computer? Will that work that same?
SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
The Factory Reset worked for me.👍
Perfect!
Thanks for adding the app info at the end of your video... that really saved me. I had no idea there was an app, and it was a quick fix before I sent it back to Amazon, as the remote had completely died on me 👍
How did you connect your tv to wifi to use that app without remote
@@KING-PUBGM it was already connected to the tv before the remote stopped working
This was so helpful thank you
If my fire tv is in a boot loop and I do not have my remote will it still work??
Will this work if your firestick is stuck on the logo screen?
It might. But first ensure you are using a proper power block. That usually causes that issue.
The factory reset per your video did not work. The "fire tv" logo is just flashing off and on at a 5 to 7 second rate. The factory reset from the keyboard does not seem to interrupt that process.
Are you using a 5watt power block? Sounds like it's not getting enough power.
Thank you im about to try this! My remote works fine but for some reason the firestick bricked itself and only loads 3 options, my profile, bookmarks, home, and settings but the whole screen is grey and clicking any of them doesnt show anything even settings wont open. The home area says not connected to internet prompt but clicking that basically takes me to troubleshoot which leads to a restart and that doesnt fix anything.
Does remote app need a code off the screen to work, if not can you send me the link for the app?
I bought a firestick at a flea market. It has childpin from the previous owner. How do I log into my account now?? I connected a keyboard but resetting doesn't work.
Thanks...❤❤❤
Will resetting with a keyboard work if the firestorm is stuck on the optimizing system screen?
It might. But I would try ensuring you are using a power block and that the firestick is getting a proper amount of power.
I have did factory reset without my remote but now the installation process need physical firestick remote. What can do
You can buy from me
@@vishaltiwari8091 i want
How did u do that
My problem is same dear pls help any update
What if i got a new wifi router and can’t use the fire remote app??
Can you name your wifi network the same as it was on the other router? If the Fire TV was configured with the old wifi name, it should find the same name on the new one.
Thanks!!!!
Does this work when you fire tv stick is in a boot loop ?
It can if you time it correctly. Be sure you are using a power block. Boot loops are often caused by lack of power.
@@StreamersWorld a power block?
@@Coreyhughesofficial If you have a firestick or fire tv box, use a power block adapter: www.amazon.com/fire-stick-power-adapter/s?k=fire+stick+power+adapter
@StreamersWorld the amazon cable it came with should be enough to power it. It just doesn't go into safe mode
Mine says press the play/pause button. I have the keyboard connected. Keyboard powers up. The firestick makes a tone threw the tv every 5 seconds. What keys do i need to press?
I'm having the same issue, did you ever figure out which keys press play?
Would this work on my firestick? Mine is stuck on update screen and keeps failing update and restarting update and can't get off the update screen at all.
It would work with a firestick, but maybe try these steps streamersworld.com/fix-fire-tv-stuck-at-unable-to-update-your-fire-tv-stick/

After the factory reset, you will need a remote. I mention that in the description. Unfortunately, there is no way around this.
@@StreamersWorld I'm sorry I'm not trying to be an ass but you probably might think changing your description in your video because it said:

with this process, it would be impossible if you lost your remote because you won't be able to set it up afterwards. You know it's just a thought

@JOE SMITH but thats cool, no worries, we are losing the point here, in all honesty you can set up the firestick without the original remote
After i reset how can i do the initial setup process without remote, the app doesnt connect since its a "New" device now
You can't. You need a remote after factory reset.
I'm having a difficult time with a 65 inch Omni FireTv that is updating and will not finish.
Thank you very much! My gaming keyboard did not work, however an Apple keyboard did!
Sir
