2018 1080p Fire stick constantly boot looping - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I turn my fire stick on it works perfectly fine for any amount of time ranging from 5 seconds - 2 minutes and then just randomly turns off and then it goes into a boot loop that lasts 1-2 minutes and sometimes will go into a boot loop again 3 or 4 times all lasting for 1-2 minutes also I’ve never tried rooting my fire stick nor have I ever messed with the boot menu can somebody please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it

Do you use the original power brick? If yes, I would use/try another power adapter... and see if it helps.

[Q] clockwork mod splash screen takes too long

Hello,
Ever since I rooted my phone I've been having this issue...the first image on boot, the clock work mod splash screen takes an awfully long time...like 20-25 seconds before it goes to the boot screen animation where it takes another 20 -25 seconds, is there any way to speed things upand get the phone to boot up as fast as a non rooted device? I'm using AIO Runny 4.01
Thanks
any one knows a way to solve this??
Maybe nobody (me also) gets why this is a problem for you?

well just my opinion buddy......I don't see the need to fix your issue...as I find it normal....I myself takes 30sec or so before I managed to get into CWM Recovery....
You just need to be patient......unless there is a "real" issue behind it.
Hey
Thanks for the replies. I guess I wasn't clear...
It stays on the first screen - the one with the Joker for 20 - 25 seconds before switching to boot animation where it takes another 20 seconds....thats like almost 45 secs of booting time.
I don't remember it taking that long before rooting? Is it normal??
Thanks
If it is under 1 minute you have got to suck it up my friend...as it is fairly typical. Mine seems to roughly to take up to 50 seconds.
However there are apps available such as rescan media root from the android market. Run the app and select the option to disable media scanner. It basically stops media scan to run on boot, therefore theoretically should save a lot of boot time and make the phone boot faster.
Thanks alot mate!

Kindle shuts off occasionally problems turning back on

My kindle fire 2 has twrp with CyanogenMod 10.1 rom. Once every few days it will shut off and the only way to get it back on is plugging in the charger and holding the power button for 30 to 45 seconds. The first few times it happened the battery was less than 25% so I thought it might be that, but since then it has happened with full charge. One of the times I could not get it back on thought it was dead left it off the charger and tried again hours later and it worked. Has any one else has this happen?

Managed to thank you by accident, lol.
This is an old ongoing issue. Every now and then the KF2 goes into deep sleep and won't wake up. The only way to wake it up is holding there power button for 20 seconds and then starting up normal again.
I have had it happen on all the ROMs at some point.
I have found that once it starts doing it, it will start to do it more often.
Short term fix:
Make sure you have the same ROM downloaded to your KF2
Enter TWRP
Wipe System
Wipe Cache and dalvik
Flash the same ROM.
Flash gapps and reboot.
Your KF2 will now behave for a while again.
Repeat whenever it becomes an issue.

Hey cool thanks seems to be working smoother after flash and keep watching for the sleep issues to be worked out

i had that problem too, but since i flashed a nightly build, it never happened again!

Solved! i tried to plug in the usb charger in the car and it worked
Closed at OP request

Is my 360 bricked?

Ok, so here's the deal. Bought the watch and charged it to 100% before turning it on. Fired it up, synched with android wear fine and it wanted to update. I ran the update but it kept getting to the end and complaining about how there was an error and to try again. I threw it back on the charger and it had dropped all the way down to 64%!
I charged it back up and did the update. I was stuck on the android icon for about 10 min then it rebooted and was stuck at "Just a minute" for a good 15 min or so. I did a hard reboot. Since then I have performed a hard reboot multiple times. For awhile there it was giving me the option to reset, which I tried 3 times. I kept getting stuck on "just a minute" when trying to sync.
Now, after the last reset, I can't get past the big motorola logo when it boots. Usually it shows the logo and then has the gears moving through the logo. But now, it just shuts off and comes back on to that logo.

sounds like a boot loop, which sucks because i don't think there's a known way to get into recovery or if the watch even has one. i'd email motorola if i were you.
Ok, I left it off for about 30 minutes and finally got it to power back on so I could reset it again. Once again, it reset and wants to download an update. It downloads, reboots, installs, reboots and then just sits at "just a minute..."
This thing is a serious pain to get up and running. Any ideas? I don't know what else to try. Ive tried pairing it with a HTC One and a Galaxy Note 3.
*EDIT*
Ok, after 2 more tries I finally got it to the point where I saw a new boot screen. I figured that was good news. Now its been sitting on the Android boot screen. By that I mean the green, blue, red and yellow orbs have been flying around for 10 minutes.

It looks like if I press and hold the power to shut down, then press and hold for a good 10 sec or so when booting back up it will boot me to a screen that shows:
"Bootloader version: 940
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 2
Battery OK
Connect USB Cable"
Thats about as far as I can get now. It refuses to go past the android screen now.
*EDIT*
OMG... so I decided to fire it up and start trying to power it down immediately. I did that 3 times in a row and it booted up to the Android Wear pairing screen. I paired it and... its trying to download something again. I can't win. I may have to take this thing back and wait for the next LG watch. I can't figure this out.

Try to get it to reset not restart. Then leave it go until it's fully charged again and retry.

Got it to 100%, reset it. Rebooted a few times and it sat on the motorola logo for about 25 minutes, never moved. Powered down and on, now I'm in this damn android logo boot loop again. What a PoS.

Is possible you got a dud.
So this morning I made s trip back to best buy and luckily they had 2 left in stock. I wasn't that aggravated because my last 360 had a dead pixel anyway.
With the replacement I did everything the same as I did last time and this time around it updated and did its thing flawlessly. So yea, sounds like I just have bad luck and got a dud.

Just picked up my moto 360 and this is the screen I see when I first booted it up, so I have no idea what the battery level is or what to do for that matter.

Ok maybe I acted too quick but I forced it off then put it on the charger for several minutes and automagically it booted up and seems to be working.

Phone wont boot, what is the problem?

Today I was surfing the web and the phone locked up and restarted itself. Kept getting to the android screen with the red yellow and blue symbols then restarting. Left the phone alone to get back to work then the phone restarted finally went to use the phone and after about 3 mins froze up again. Now the phone won't get past the Google boot screen and if I want to try and power the phone on the power button has to be pressed in about 30secs to a minute of two.
Also i can't get into recovery mode reliably since if I select recovery the phone again freezes at the Google screen on reboot and never gets to recovery 9 out of 10 times other times I can get to recovery and then phone will then crash while in recovery or will allow me to use recovery long enough to wipe the cache and factory reset which neither has worked.
While Plugged into a charger and just sits there nothing on screen just a black screen.
Phone is on latest android unrooted and locked.
i had this happen to my SO's stock/locked/unrooted Nexus 6P.
Plug it into a PC, wait a couple minutes, then press and hold the power button for like 1-2 minutes.

I don't have any issues. I was just curious. I've just never heard of a fix for any phone that requires a button press for more that like 30 seconds.
So what is the expected outcome? Does the phone just reboot and simply function correctly? Do you have a link to the forum post you read this in?

Sure.
Here is where I read about plugging it into a PC and then pressing the power button:
https://support.google.com/nexus/troubleshooter/3337561?hl=en#ts=3337942,3339328
That didn't work (15 seconds hold). Then I found this random post on XDA where someone said they held it for more than a minute, so i tried that.
deanb1234 said:
Same exact problem. Phone was over 80% charged. Picked it up off of my desk at work to check the time and nothing. Just a brick.
Update*** I hooked the thing to power and nothing. So I just sat here at my desk for several minutes holding down the power button and the damn thing finally came back on. But I had to hold it for a very very long time, not the normal 10-30 seconds like it should take to do a hard power off. I'm talking minutes.

not sure why this worked, but it did. probably held it for 45s to 1m and it booted normally after that. honestly not sure what happened or why this worked.

I'm glad my old post helped! Just an update though, it did that a few more times and then eventually I had to have it RMA'ed as no amount of time would make it boot.

Yup same here. It can get to the boot menu but recovery only works 1/10 times and can't ever get through 54% of the boot log until it freezes and crashes.

Yup new one is getting here today. Anyways, before old one is sent off I am curious to see if the battery is even charging when I connect to the charger. Anyone know if I can use a multi-meter to check this?
