Please help me
I reset my fire TV stick after it got slow and buggy. No root or modifications. Now it resets and switches off - no reboot :/ The remote won't switch on the stick so I have to reconnect the USB power. Then it starts again with the reset procedure.
Any ideas?
Thx

Hello guys,
I upgraded to 5.2.4.1_r1 or 5.2.4._r1 (all rbox prerooted) recently and since then I had some issues with my Fire TV 4K waking up and taking my AVR and TV online with him. Yesterday I used the Fire TV, watched some shows and put it into Standby. Today it is stuck in a stupid "optimizing system storage and applications" loop. That means the box boots, shows recovery, showers the amazon fire TV logo, and then this comes. Optimizing takes around 2-3 minutes and then it reboots and the whole procedure repeats. I just upgraded to 5.2.4.2_r2 (rbox prerooted) and the loop is still there. So I guess it's some settings problem.
How do I proceed now? I guess I need to start recovery and delete / wipe / reset some stuff? In which order should I proceed so that I have least work with reinstalling?
What happens if I choose factory reset? I guess I cannot loose root since I use the prerooted images?
Wiping data gave me a fresh Fire TV. Had to set up everything again but it worked.
Hi,
My stock fire tv is stuck in boot process. When I turn it on loads the b/w amazon logo and, about 30 seconds after, the colorful amazon fire tv logo comes up. And that's it, nothing else ever happens. No reboot, noloop, nothing else.
I have tried to factory reset it by pressing alt+i+print-screen hundred of times while booting with no success. I have tried with 4 different keyboard (including a logitech k400).
I have tried to connect a USB-A to USB-A cable from the fire tv and the PC and installed adb drivers (all devices are recognized by windows and display and device manager) but I can't detect the device with adb devices at any stage of the boot process at all.
Does anyone have any other possible way to un-brick it? O any other suggestion to revive it?
btw, It "bricked" itself. One day I turned on tv and I saw empty menus and nothing happened if I tried to navigate on it... So decided to reboot it and... there you go, the way it is now.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody can help please? I've got a precious brick os plastic and circuits on top my desk right now....

To reset it, press and hold the right and back buttons of your remote at the same time for at least 10 seconds or more. This will initiate the reset process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
Hello,
I just joined the forum this morning and wanted to say hi to everyone. Hopefully someone can help me here. I have an Amazon Fire TV 2 and it has been rooted and I have Teamwin Recovery Project 3.0.0-5 on it. It has been working for years, but one day a few months ago, I switched the TV input to the Fire TV and just saw the Teamwin splash screen sitting there and blinking. I disconnected the Fire TV and connected it to another TV and it booted up normally, however, without the option to select Boot Normal or Launch Recovery. I then disconnected the Fire TV again and reconnected it to the original TV, it did not boot and got stuck at the splash screen again. Finally after numerous attempts at restarting the device, it booted (without the option to choose Boot Normally or Launch Recovery). I used the Fire TV for a month or so and have restarted it a few times and always was able to get in, but still without the option to Boot Normally or Launch Recovery.
Last night, I was watching a movie and it ended. I tried to use the back button on the remote to go back to my Emby server to watch another show. The Fire TV was not responding and I did not see the white light on the Fire TV at all, but I still had the picture of the finished movie on the screen. I pulled the power plug on the Fire TV and plugged it back it. I'm back to the Teamwin splash screen and it just sits there and blinks every few seconds or so. I never get beyond it and cannot get back into my Fire TV. The white light on the Fire TV also blinks slowly.
I saw a post about the Fire TV 1 and a new 3.0.0-7 recovery that is supposed to resolve that issue, but I did not see anything for the Fire TV 2.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
AFTV2 as in Model DV83YW? (found on the bottom of device).
If so, I've found that sometimes a faulty power cable can cause this kind of behaviour - try plugging the device into the wall & a computer/laptop (at the same time) with a USB-A to USB-A cable - for some reason allows the box to draw enough power to boot if the power supply is faulty.
If this doesn't work your power supply is probably fine - you could probably re-flash the pre-rooted rom and it would probably boot again, but honestyly I'd recommend unlocking your bootloader via the unlock.zip method (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/) if you're running FireOS 5.2.7.2 or below, or the brick method if running 5.2.7.3 or above.
Of course, you will need to backup your /data partition via TWRP (to a external SD), but I think this is the best option for future proofing & would allow you to recover from something like this a little easier if anything were to happen to your AFTV in the future.
Thanks for the reply. Don't think it is the power cable as I have another power cable I had purchased a while back and it does the same thing with that, but I'll still try connecting it top the computer and see what happens.
I'll also try the methods you linked. Unfortunately, since I cannot boot into the Fire TV, I cannot determine what version of FireOS I'm running.
You mention backing up via TWRP, but I can't get into TWRP, that's the issue. It just sits there with there with the TWRP splash screen and it blinks. No options to boot normally or boot into recovery.
I try what you suggested and report back.
Thanks again,
Chris
My kindle fire (3rd gen) is tuck in a screen that says:
Fire system recovery
Your fire doesn't seem able too boot.
Reseting your device to factory defaults may
help you to fix this issue.
Volume up/down to highlight, power button to select.
I have 2 options:
reboot your fire or reset to factory defaults.
It has never been rooted, but I plan to install a custom ROM like LineageOS or something.
I have done both many times, I do not care how much data is lost.
It does not appear on adb devices.
