[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddoouubbllee:
Hi there,

Same happened to me. I received a brand new 4k Stick.. it worked like a charm for 20 min, I installed a few thing, and then when I rebooted it started the loop with the amazon logo. youtube.com/watch?v=zK5a-2MILOU

I dont know what to do; my FireStick is not rooted so I cant fastboot or adb it; I cant enter anywhere!

I dont have any OTG to connect a keyboard, neither a keyboard. I have been traying to solve with a thousand of ways which i read on this forum, but nothing fixed it.

I have 2 options, and i dont know if they will work:

1.- Buy o make a fastboot cable. I dont know if it works for Firestick, and I dont know what to do if it works! Should I install a new rom? Which one?!

2.- Buy a OTG and a keyboard to try to enter to the recovery mode. But if I actually enter in there, would I be able to fix it?

What do you guys think?

Thanks!!

I contacted Amazon customer support (via online chat) and told them the story. In spite of me not being able to offer any proof of purchase (all went to the bin as the FTV worked so well - until it didn't anymore) they offered me the choice between a 40% discount on a new unit, or a free replacement they could only ship to an US address. As I live in Europe I don't have such an address BUT - I found a company that will receive a shipment on my behalf at an US address and will forward it to my European address for the shipping cost plus a small fee. So I chose this option and I just got an email that the replacement was shipped to the US address.

So, bottom line, I will end up with a new unit (which first thing I will open up all the possible ways - unlock bootloader, enable ADB etc.) and, if ever I will succeed to salvage the old one, I will have a spare for free :)

Anyway, kudos to Amazon for a great customer support experience.

Does anyone have any news on how to solve the problem? please help:(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjccblws:
hi! I have tried to adb link my fire stick when I got the stick from amazon,but failed.Tried thousands times,then I found something that may help:

Unplug the usb port from the amazon charger,plug it directly into the usb hole on PC.

Open the adb window on PC,may be at this time the adb can find the device.

Maybe you could use the adb on PC connect another android phone at first,if it succeed so you will know the adb software on PC is all right.

I found there is something wrong with the last version of the adb software:"the port missing.....".You may try an old version of adb.

Good Luck!

After Looping about half a day 4K came up once.

You have to do a factory reset then, otherwise another half day on next boot up.

Fell into it and fixed it twice

Hey guys , I had this problem twice already because of trying to install google services on it and i was searching for hours and hours and i came to this thread and i had no choice but try the solution offered by [MENTION=7598830]iwl[/MENTION] in the first time ,because i had never authorised any computer to connect to this stick before, i didnt even knew about it, so i left the FireStick 4K connected to TV and its adapter normally and let it loop as much as it wanted, i actually went to bed and on the next day it was back on, i did a mistake a didnt reset it immediately so later on i had another half a day of bootlooping and when it was up again after a few hours i reset it and of course all apps were lost , not a big deal as long as my FS is back to life.

Now is the nice part that made any bootloop later on a piece of cake, i went immediately and connected the stick to to Minimal ADB via WIFI so i could authorise the computer to connect to it( it is a one time thing, there are some videos about how to do that from which i also learnt the method).

The second time i was prepared so i took the risk and wanted to install Play services in order to get some other app work and not for the sake of google, so i fell into the loop, disconnected the Stick from TV and connected it with the USB cable only to my computer which i authorised before on this specific stick, ran Minimal ADB and fastboot and ran the following commands in the shell (use commands between the " ")

"adb kill-server"

"adb start-server"

to make sure that i am connected to the stick "adb devices"

-you will get list of connected devices

Then unistall the nasty app , in my case it was google so it used these commands

"adb uninstall com.google.android.gms"

in case you have a problem with another app , you could check the app's name with the following command "adb shell pm list packages -f"

find it's and use it the abovementioned uninstall command.

Then in the end , disconnect the device properly with "adb disconnect" and then "adb kill-server"

Voila , back on , all apps were there and only the nasty app was gone

I hope i could be helpful to someone

Mine over 24 hrs still in bootloop. I hope you're telling the truth.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarknessFX:
Thank you, I fixed my bootloop with this method.

For me the TV USB 1A didn't work (1st day) and the PC USB also didn't work (2nd day) , only when I plugged it to an USB (2A? 2.5A?) direct to a power outlet that it got able to boot after 8 hours.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwl:
Use the included USB Power Adapter and Cable. Especially many other USB Cables are weak and can't transport 1 Amp.

PC USB 2.0 provides only 0,5 Amps, 3.0 0,7 (or 0,8?) Amps but not 1.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BogiePL:
Problem solved!

What worked for me?

adb shell pm list packages -f

Then copy output to notepad and uninstall all listed apps. Every single one. After this fire tv restarted few times and i have it working again.

Took some time do do it, but it is working now.

I have waited for 5 days without success, but this worked.

Firestick 4k Boot loop issue solved using Y-OTG cable

Hello, I had the same problem. I did not have my fire stick 4k connected to my laptop adb before I installed Google play so I could not uninstall play store and play services using adb. I came across this link and followed exactly what mentioned, It let me boot in to safe mode then I uninstalled play store and play services then did a normal boot. It works well now. (This url is non-English so allow google translate to English)

I got y-otg cable from Amazon, I Kept holding ctrl+alt+menu+printscreen keys while another person assisted to plug in the fire stick power adapter. I kept hitting the "i" key. It started the regular white screen with orange amazon logo after few moments darkscreen+safemode in left bottom appeared then I got my screen. clicked "your applications" and uninstalled both culprits then power off and power on.

(Both blue tooth and usb key board supports to invoke the safe mode)

How to unbrick or factory reset...

....

To unbrick or factory reset it, you will need an OTG cable with charger and USB conector to connect an logitech keyboard or another multimedia keyboard.

Then with the fire tv turning on ( in loop status ), push at the same time ( ctrl+alt+del ) and when it restart push ( FN key+ Option key -square with lines ) over and over again, until it enter in SAFE MODE. Then, go to my fire tv and push factory reset. ... Good luck. ( if you request the video i going to upload soon in youtube).

Hi All, yesterday I installed Google play services and got bootloop in my Fire TV stick 4k.

I tried adb but the device is unauthorized. I have given adb permission via easy fire tool and I know that I can get that permission working on PC via helium backup app. But don't know the steps how to do it.

Also I have tried attaching keyboard and pressing alt+print screen+i for sometime while booting firestick. But no success.

Can anyone help me here.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Hi All, just got it working.

I pressed CTRL+ALT+Menu+PrtScreen+i counting 10 seconds after the orange logo over white background. Just keep all 5 button pressed after logo, no need for repeatedly pressing. I used Bluetooth keyboard and it worked.

It entered to safe mode. I went to my apps and deleted Google play services and now it's working fine.

I would like to say thanks to you as the combination works with otg cable and wired keyboard. Lesson learned dont ever install anything without adb authorized on ur laptop. Thnks again. It brings to safe mode when i kept holding the combination on keyboard and i uninstalled the Google play service. Many thanks :angel:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackie78:
Can anyone tell why you need an OTG cable in order to connect a keyboard, why not a normal powered USB hub is sufficient? It should work in theory, but my keyboard doesn't. So soes the fire TV stick not support USB hubs at all?

Hello friends! About a month ago I have my 4k firestick in the closet. I have the problem of the logo of death and its frozen. I was reading what you suggest in this thread, using otg and some key combinations, but nothing that works. I was the fool who didn't enable ADB on the pc for future failures like this. I regret now. The control does not work to factory restore the device. I do not know what to do. I'll leave it plugged in all day, as suggested by another fellow. Anyone suggest a new method?

I would like to make a custom 3d printed case for my phone and the easiest way to do this would be to start with a 3d rendered model of the phone (preferably in stl or obj format).

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fronten:
I am using my USB to USB-C Cable form my Nexus 5X, which works flawlessly with that one.

With the Pixel, however, I don't get it showing up in Transfer mode (as a drive).

When using PTP mode it becomes visible, but of course only showing picture folders.

Cable works 100% fine as far as I know, also with the Tool-All-In-One etc.

Any idea how enable USB-Transfers from PC to Pixel3?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Chezbel:
When the pixel3 is connected did you look in the settings to see what USB mode is selected? You might need to change the mode to File Transfer. Also you have to unlock the phone after connecting it before it shows up. I'm not near a computer so I can't give the exact details.

EDIT: When the phone is connected go to Settings/Connected Devices/USB. Then in the section "Use USB for" make sure File Transfer is selected.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fronten:
Thank you for the reply.

There's a "Yes" to all of that: USB mode is "Transfer Files", set directly via Setting but also checked on unlocked screen.

PC explorer shows Pixel3 in PTP mode (images folders only), which vanishes completely when switching to file transfer mode.

With Pixel 3 we are able to change which device controls USB connection, - i can't change this for this connection, it stays in "This device" (P3), "other device" (does this mean PC?) fails and reverts to "this device".

Is this a setting relevant only for Phone-to-Phone connections?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] zeropants:
My Pixel 3 is doing this now with Android Auto after I got the February update. I can't change USB mode and Android Auto only launches on my phone instead of my car head unit. If I try to manually change the the USB mode to anything other than charging it immediately resets like nothing happened. If I change the control type to "other device" it reverts to "this device" and grays out the option.

I have tried a few cables, two different cars, and enabling USB Debugging but nothing helps. I think Google did this and we might have to wait on a fix.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] zeropants:
As a follow-up, I've seen some people with this issue fix it by getting a USB C cable that is 65 ohm, or getting a USB 3.1 SS+ cable. I have one on order and will update when I receive it.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fronten:
Thank you!

So this is a confirmation that this indeed is a bug needing some fix?

I did a quick look around and couldn't really find such a cable - what would I search for specifically?

I did not get confidently lucky with 65 ohm, USB 3.1 or SS+ terms..

(Also, i am quite sour about Google not including an USBCtoA connector.)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] zeropants:
From my view it's a bug, but I don't have much to confirm with, just personal experience. I'm going to re-check Apple Carplay too to make sure it's not a vehicle fault.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] zeropants:
Another failure.

So far I've tried 4 cables, including a USB-C 3.1 cable. I've tried 2 different cars with Android Auto support. No combination has enabled AA on the cars head unit.

I plugged my Pixel 3 into a laptop work USB 3 support and it connected to file transfer.

As a follow up, my wife's iPhone XR connects to Car Play almost instantly.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] zeropants:
I found out my issue is specifically with Android Auto, and I have since fixed it. I had to remove all system updates to Android Auto and let it update and setup from scratch.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fronten:
I finally managed to get my Pixel 3 recognized for file transfer.

Device manager showed a problem with the Portable Device - MTP device (yellow attention sign). I tried to update that driver, failing, even with the one from google directly .

However, i got the hint that missing system update (Windows) might be the culprit.

So I checked, installed the 2 it showed, and .. .. Pixel 3 showed up in device and file manager.

Well,here is one story strange as hell but true. A guy lost his unlocked for all operators S7 Edge while using it on Vodafone...then he filled a lost phone complaint and a few months later he recovered him,- a friend of him was the one who found the phone at the time ... That's the guy who sold my S7 and his story.... It wasn't a big deal since I could use the phone on other operators here in Portugal or make the portability of my Vodafone Sim card to another operator and use it . To block the phone in all operators here you have to file individual complaints with a police report on every operator...yes it's nuts but it's our 3rd world bureaucracy works. The seller trade the S7 for a crappy Huawei p8 lite 2015 with the screen broken...so it was a fantastic deal ,but the guy said to me he just hasn't anymore the papers he used to file the Lost phone complaint,so he couldn't reverse the process , so I ended with the phone blocked only to Vodafone...no big deal...BUT,a month ago the S7 started accepting again my Vodafone Sim card and I can now make calls and texts on my favorite operator....only wen I reboot the phone exhibit the "phone not allowed" thing ,but after a few moments it registers on the operator again ... As a side note I must say I bought a Nokia 5 locked at Vodafone and after one month it unlocked by himself and started accepting any sim card on Earth.... Is Vodafone going bananas???

They even given me on this Christmas offerings through the app My Vodafone 15GB of net and 500 minutes of calls .... I think wen the guy who selled me the phone contacted Vodafone to say he found the phone and have him unlocked , Vodafone botched the work. Sometimes wen you lost the phone and make a complain,the locking is only temporary for 6 months. And yes,you can unlock all Vodafone Nokias sold in Europe, Australia and New Zealand in one minute with a simple trick I discovered by accident and of course I will not put here the method.... I only can say the method is so childish simple....I was amazed !!.

The thing is that is so childish simple to unlock them that you wouldn't believe...it's ridiculous !
