Try different HDMI ports and ensure you are using a high-speed HDMI cable and not an HDMI hub. If the issue continues, let the device sit for 25 minutes to see if it resolves, or try performing a factory reset by holding the Back and Right navigation buttons on the remote simultaneously while the device is in the boot loop.
1. Power Cycle Your Fire TV Stick
- Unplug: Disconnect the Fire TV Stick from its power source and the TV’s HDMI port.
- Wait: Wait for at least 30 seconds to allow any residual power to drain.
- Plug In: Reconnect the Fire TV Stick to the TV using the included power adapter.
- Important: Avoid using a TV’s USB port for power, as this can cause an unstable power supply.
2. Check Connections and Hardware
- HDMI Port: Try plugging the Fire TV Stick into a different HDMI port on your TV.
- HDMI Cable/Adapter: If you are using an HDMI adapter or extender, try connecting the Fire TV Stick directly to the TV’s HDMI port.
- TV Support: Ensure your TV supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection); check your TV’s owner’s manual.
- Try Another TV: If possible, test the Fire TV Stick on a different television to rule out a TV issue.
3. Allow More Time or Perform a Factory Reset
- Wait Longer: Leave the device on for about 25 minutes to see if it will eventually progress past the logo.
- Factory Reset (if possible): If the device is still stuck in a loop, try a factory reset.
- Hold down the Right navigation button and the Back button on your Fire TV remote simultaneously.
- Continue holding the buttons until you see an option on the screen to perform a factory reset.
- Select the option to reset and confirm.
