So during a constant booting cycle i just got frustrated and pulled the power cord...
Killed it...
I get as far as the white amazon logo... i have tried plugging a keyboard in and attempted the recovery method using Print screen, alt, i but to no avail.
Any other suggestions?
please?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
You might want to keep trying it like this guy...

I think a button must be pressed down or something, becuase even after a hard reset it still does it, anyone got any ideas how to get rid of this problem?
Thanks!
Please if anyone could help, i've tried a hard reset and tried pushing all the buttons in, and it still comes up all the time, constantly trying to load the page, even if its connected!
Does anyone think this could be a virus? :shock:
I tried to get into Facebook this morning and the app opened then went black. So I then shut down the app and tried to open it again and the screen opened to a black screen. I then hit the back button and the home button, both were slow to respond and then the screen went black and stayed black. I tired the power button and the volume button but got no response. So i then pulled the battery and tried to reboot it. NOTHING!
I've tried charging it and restarting - Nothing
Took out the battery and plugged it in and restarted - Nothing
Connected it to my Laptop and my laptop does not recognize it...
Am I screwed? Is it bricked? Any help would be greatly appreciated... If it is bricked, is there a way to get the photos off the phone?
Info:
Sprint phone
NOT rooted...
Bump
I think we have the same problem. Start searching for hard brick. I'm following the thread linked below, buy I'm still having problems. Maybe you'll have better luck.

I was working out at the gym earlier today and when I wanted to take my phone out to check messages, my phone just shut off all of a sudden and wouldn't turn back on. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in and it doesn't turn on when I push the power button. Also, sometimes, the phone would buzz and show the samsung logo and the cm logo, but then the screen would turn black again. I can't go into recovery mode either. When I got home and tried to charge it, it never charged either. It just did the same thing and buzzed and then show the samsung and cm logo and then the screen would go black again. At first, I was thinking it might have bricked, but seeing as how I never did any firmware changes to the phone, it shouldn't have bricked. I only opened the phone to check the time. Do you guys think it's the phones problem? Or is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated!
Any luck with download mode?

No, I can't seem to get into download or recovery mode.
DO you have a USB jig?
Another battery?

You are holding the power,vol up and home button at same time till the samsung logo flashes right?
Never mind guys. I took it to the repair shop and the guy said that it was my power button chip that was malfunctioning. He replaced the chip and it worked again. Thanks for the feedback though. Really appreciate it.
I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I had the Gnex power button issue, so I disassembled and successfully repaired it. Unfortunately during a flash my battery fell out and now it shuts down 3 secs after boot (nothing after Google logo). I can't get into recovery/download mode, so I tried an omap flash which ran successfully but still the same problem. I got 300k worth of resistors and have been trying to make a jig but so far I'm unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any extra advice?
Thanks!

Nope! I'm wondering maybe if perhaps the volume buttons have the same issue that the power button did?
I was using volume wake after my power button failure. Now I can only boot with a battery pull. I'm thinking my only choice now is to buy a broken gnex and replace the screen - but it would really be nice to get this device working somehow!
When I boot I get the Google/lock screen - but yeah, insata shutdown after that point. I'm thinking maybe the bad flash overwrote the OS?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, if I can avoid buying a new phone that'd be optimal - I've only had this one for two months.
Hello,
Got an AFTV at staple the other day. I tried to follow the aftvnews guide "How to setup a new AFTV...".
Apparently my AFTV was pretty old since the initial unplug/plug trick did not work and the box was always stuk on waiting to download the update. I finally let the update run through and ended up with Firmware 51.1.0.2_user_510058520.
After that I tried to root the AFTV. For this I used adbFire. I was able to connect to the box (no internet connection at that time) and click on the Towelroot option. I did click on "Make it ra1n" and wait for a very long time. I never saw any message indicating that it succeded or failed. With the remote I ended up going back to the previous menu. I tried to install SuperSu but that did not work. Su was not installed. After rebooting the box, I get the back and white Amazon logo and then the screen goes black. The TV shows the selected input as if the AFTV is not sending any signal. I tried to plug the internet cable (with the 2 domains blocked) and the AFTV finally goes from the Orange blicking led to the Blue one but it's still stuck after the amazon back and white logo. I did try the ALT-I-PrntScr (which had worked previously when I was trying to prevent the update to install, I managed to get into recovery and do a factory reset ,so I know the keyboard itself is OK). But this time ALT-I-PrntScr only get the box to restart and brings me back to the Amazon black and white logo that disappear after a minute.
Nevertheless, I can still access the box from an adb shell, adbFire can connect to the AFTV. But since I no longer see any menu on the screen I can't attempt to reroot from adb fire.
A reboot recovery does not work as it's not authorized.
su command is not found , so it would confirm supersu did not install (properly). What's weird though is that if I do a ps, I see a process "u0_a1 6199 328 476352 18640 ffffffff 00000000 S eu.chainfire.supersu"
Any idea how I can unstuck the box ?
Thank you.
Some info for people in the same situation, the issue was that Towelroot needs internet access to complete.
i have exactly the same situation here. system doing an update and the power got cut off and viola. Welcome white amazon logo and pulsing white and orange indicator light. Tried all the possible ways found on the forum and net but no joy. Now its sitting on my drawer and hoping i can still find a way to make it alive.

I have the same exact issue right now, probably that same update yours downloaded from 2 weeks ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/fire-tv-stuck-amazon-logo-adb-t3809305
This guy had the same problem too, and he has a big list of things to try, none of which worked for me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/fire-tv-remains-stuck-amazon-firetv-t3561797
Mine's unrooted on the latest version, so I guess I can't root and reinstall rom. I'd hate to have to throw this away it's only 2 years old. I have a 5 year old Roku that still runs great.
"Perfect" timing I guess with Prime Day coming up?
Edit: couple more guys having the same issue recently, sounds like a mass bricking going on

I played with mine a bit more today and I was able to fix
I read somewhere that someone else was having the same issue and said it was a HDCP handshake issue and they were able to fix by plugging to a different HDMI port on the TV. I tried that and it booted up to the colorful Amazon logo, showed the home page for a sec, then went to a black screen. From here, it would flash the home screen really quick randomly every 30 secs or so, so I know it booted up and I'm on the home page, it's just not displaying correctly. I was then able to pair my remote (I unpaired before because I was using flirc), then us the remote shortcut to factory reset. Good to go after the reset.
TBH, I did not try turning it on before I swapped HDMI ports so I'm not 100% sure if switching ports really did help it boot past the white logo, or if it just happen to get fixed after some time.
Interestingly while on the colorful logo, the alt+i+printscreen trick did not work for me. So it took me longer before I could get to the factory reset.

I wish I had the same luck like you but i tried different tv's, all the ports availble and different HDMI cables but still no luck.
Anyone able to find a solution to fix it? or should I just throw it out?

Sorry you weren't able to fix. Before you throw away, try contacting support. Not because they can fix it, they most probably can't. When I had problems with mine, I contacted them and they gave me a $15 credit off of a new one because I was out of warranty. This was a couple days before Prime Day so I was able to snag a new one for really cheap. Plus my old one started working again, so I now have 2 Fire TVs
