Why specifically do you need to reboot? (Audio issues, freezes, ?) It might make a difference in the finding the right person to diagnose. Does it sleep or does it stay on overnight?

yes the fire tv goes to sleep but in the morning The fire tv is non responsive cant do anything with remote no lights on front and blank screen.
Try using CTRL+ALT+DELETE on your bluetooth keyboard.
I found it by accident -- it will actually reset the Fire TV instantly.
I've had the same problem on both my unrooted devices.
I usually reboot using the remote (hold down the main clicking button + play)
Is you firetv usually idle with kodi running? i always have kodi running when this happens
I don't have a Fire TV, but I have had this problem with my Fire TV Stick, which was hooked to my Samsung TV and now my Vizio TV. Every time I go to use the Fire stick, I have to unplug it from power and plug it back in. It is very annoying. I don't get any messages, just a black screen.

I have the same problem. It seems to be getting worse. Pretty much everytime i use it it happens.
This happens to me as well. When plugged into my VIZIO tv, and running Kodi 17.2, the Fire TV will spontaneously enter a reboot cycle and will remain there until I unplug the power, wait 2 minutes and plug it in again. I have the new Fire TV 4k (hanging dongle), but this also happened when i had a quad core Fire TV Stick.. my original Fire TV Stick (with Voice Remote) continues to operate without issue to this day, albeit much slower since Amazon removed the Youtube app.
Oddly, the same device does NOT suffer from this issue if I plug it into my LG tv... Could it be an issue with the HDMI port (Port 1 (ARC) that I am plugged into??
Glad to know im not alone. Sometimes it will last for days, sometimes not.
I do use "advanced task killer" and "fast reboot" to kill kodi, netflix, firefox etc when Im not using them.
Guys, i used to have exact same problem and luckily was able to fix it. In my case as soon as the aftv goes in sleep mode it reboots in recovery mode . So because i have the TWRP customer recovery the box is not able to apply that update because is not the stock recovery. the only way to get it back to home GUI is to reboot the box from recovery. That was extremely annoying for me. A while ago i used to block the updates from amazon.com by using opendns, but stopped using it so the box becomes open for updates which automatically get downloaded on the box. Because im rooted there is a easy way of blocking the updates on the box itself by using Method 1 http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-software-updates-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/. However this will stop working if you factory reset the box, if you do so you'll have to apply the blocking procedure again.
After the blocking is done just upgrade the box to the latest prerooted firmware from rbox and you're set. this is the link to the latest pre-rooted custom firmware for aftv1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/prerooted-stock-images-t2882337.
i hope that helps.
To add to stutunaru, Method 5 is equally important to apply through TWRP, after a fresh ROM flash and before the first full system boot.

Hi,
I've noticed that when my fire stick is on sleep mode but I have not used it for a while, when I then go to turn it on to watch something, I find out that kodi has removed the beast from my fire stick so therefore I am greeted to just a blue screen and nothing else on it!
This is really annoying because twice now I've had to restore everything back onto my fire stick.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
I'm hoping someone can help me

My Kindle fire 2G was working fine and then I switch it on and am stuck at a red screen. Amazon tech support says it's broken, but I've seen people on YouTube manage to get theirs up and running again. At this stage I haven't done anything to it. I have a factory fast boot cable and when I plug it in the screen comes up with fastboot and a green blinky light. What do I do now? Forums and video tuts all have drivers and patches saying I should install Kindle Fire Utility, TWRP, FIRE FIRE FIRE etc, but these all seem to be for the 2nd Generation HD and they say in bold letters that it is only for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation HD - mine is not HD. I don't want brick it even more by installing/modding incorrectly, but I can't find any downloads that are just for 2nd generation, non HD. I'm not a computer noob, but I am clueless when it comes to Android. Any links, suggestions from here?
Hello all,
I have a 3rd gen Fire TV that has been working fine on an old Toshiba projection HDTV, mfg 2004. Yesterday I went to turn it on, and it will boot through the black screen with the firetv logo, the screen turns white for just a second, and then the screen goes black. If you do the remote shortcut to reset the device, it will do this again. I've tried every setting on the TV. I've tried the UP/REVERSE combo on the remote, you can see it making changes, but a picture never comes up. I move the firetv to a newer TV and it works fine. Why did this work before, then quit? FireTV updated to 6.2.5.5 a week ago, and I can't remember for sure if i've used it successfully since then or not.
Tried factory reset, too.
Any help is appreciated.
