this can be a really frustrating issue
if you've ever experienced your fire
stick stuck on a continuous boot loop or
stuck at the loading screen but before
you dump your fire stick in the bin
there are a few tips you can try to fix
this issue
now i'm not going to say that these tips
will definitely help but if nothing else
is working then they are worth a try
this may seem obvious but if you haven't
yet tried this solution simply allowing
time for your fire stick to cool and
completely power down may do the trick
remove your fire stick from the tv and
the power supply
if you're using any attachments such as
an otg cable adapter or usb hub remove
these as well
wait at least five minutes
then you can plug your fire stick back
into your tv and the power supply
if you were using any attachments don't
reconnect these yet as this will help to
determine if the boot loop is being
caused by your peripherals
if your fire stick powers up
successfully without them try changing
the otg you're using and make sure
you're using compatible attachments you
can find links in the description and
pinned comment down below for my otg
recommendations
if you're using a usb port on your tv to
power your fire stick or you're using a
power adapter other than the one that
came in the box with your fire stick
then this could be causing your issue
your fire stick might not be getting the
full amount of power that it needs to
fully boot up so make sure you're using
the power adapter that came in the box
with your fire stick and you may even
want to try plugging in the power
adapter to a different power outlet
try replacing the power cable as well if
using the power adapter still doesn't
help
any other micro usb cable should work as
many of us usually have a spare one
lying around
these types of cables are notorious for
needing to be replaced frequently for
all sorts of reasons
replace the usb cable and if you can use
the official one from amazon that came
in the box
if you've lost the original power cable
or power adapter you can find links in
the description and pinned comment down
below to get replacements
you may have an issue with the hdmi port
on your tv
unplug all hdmi connected devices from
your tv if you have any then try
plugging your fire stick into each port
in turn
testing each hdmi to see if this stops
the boot loop
and if that doesn't work try plugging
your fire stick into a different tv
this was the solution that worked for me
when i last had an issue with my 4k fire
stick stuck in a boot loop i simply left
it overnight and by the morning the fire
stick was back at the home screen
give your fire stick time to do its
thing it may just be stuck processing a
task and will eventually get past it
leave it for at least a few hours or
even better for an entire day or night
if you can
you may be able to force a factory reset
using your remote
press and hold the directional button to
the right and at the same time press and
hold the back button
hold both of these buttons for around 10
seconds
you should see a message pop up on
screen to let you know that the factory
reset has been initiated and will occur
automatically
if this doesn't work the first time you
press the remote control buttons try
pressing them at a different point in
the boot loop cycle than when you
previously tried
now this step may only help if you
already have a wired usb keyboard and an
otg cable or adapter
if you do you can try forcing your fire
stick into safe mode
if you don't have these things and you
do want to give this step a try you can

attach the wired usb keyboard to your
fire stick by plugging in an otg cable
or adapter into your fire stick
this adds a usb port so you can plug in
the wired keyboard
then plug the power supply into the otg
cable or adapter
power your fire stick back up and let it
go back into the boot loop sequence
putting the fire stick into safe mode
requires a combination of pressing and
holding five different keys on the
keyboard at the same time
when the bootloop sequence is displaying
the fire tv logo press and hold the
control and alt buttons and with your
other hand press and hold the menu print
screen and eye buttons
keep holding the buttons down and then
you'll see safe mode displaying in the
bottom left corner
once you see this you can let go of the
keys
your first stick should stop boot
looping and be back at the home screen
in safe mode
here you can try just a simple restart
to see if this stops the boot loop or
perform a factory reset or remove any
applications that you think may be
causing your issue
if none of these tips help try
contacting amazon
faulty devices are covered under
manufacturer warranty and consumer
rights so it is worth talking to amazon
about your options
in some instances some customers have
been able to get free replacement or at
least a discount off of a new one
