Hi Techdoctor, this is a great video and everything makes sense. I get exactly the same problem after I installed the Google Playstore. My concern is that I can't get the device to be picked up in ADB (I have tried two Windows 10 computers I have available). The USB driver is installed and is picked up as an 'MTP USB device" in Device Manager. Surely there is another catch within Windows 10 so the device works below ADB? I am close to just buying another device
after I opened "command prompt"how do I get D:\> cd adb?as per your video?I get "C:\users\Jimmy>: "on the top line of command prompt?please help...thanks
Thank you for the great tutorial. It is very comprehensive. Unfortunately, this technique only works if the Fire Stick had been previously authorized to link with the computer. If not, you will not be able to open the ADB shell.
I have a Fire TV Gen 3 (Pre-Stick. Square box attached to an HDMI dongle). I can see the FireTV logo when I attach it to a TV and provide power, so I assume there is still something there, but the key combo with the OTG to boot into safe mode doesn't work. I also tried connecting to it via adb (Windows and on Linux) and neither sees the device (tried multiple micro usb cables). Any ideas other than sending this back to Amazon?
My daughters firetv is constantly looping. It is out of warranty and Amazon will not replace it. She said she has not installed anything on it - It just stopped working. I have tried your steps but I cannot see the device when it is plugged in with USB. I even bought a 2-in-1 Micro USB to USB Adapter (OTG Cable + Power Cable) for FireStick and tried to press CTRL + ALT + MENU + PRINTSCREEN + I on bootup but that did not work. Remote control does not work when I try to press Back + right side of wheel for 20+ seconds to get to reset menu. Looks like that's the end of the road for me and this fire stick :(
Great tutorial. For some reason when I get to the device part it shows the device and serial number but where yours says device, mine says unauthorized. Any suggestions?
Hi, i encountered this, when i attempted the fix, kindly assist. C:\launcher>adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached
THANK YOU!!! You're a genius!! I had exactly the same problem with google play services and my Fire Stick vent completely dead endlessly booting in loop. Nothing helped until I found your post. I was ready to do factory reset, but because it did not fully booted it did not recognize remote, so it did not work. But following you're post I was not only able to fix it, but did not even had to use factory reset. FS started working again. Thanks man for brilliant post.
I had the same problem about six months ago, I didn't have this great video to help me out, so had to get rid of my firestick and buy a new one! Thank you
Hi Doc not sure this will help anyone but I changed aspect ratio on my tv to 4:3 and left it plugged in for two day had the a black screen unplugged it and plugged it back and wow 😮 its back 👍👌
@@craighumphreys4263 please help me out here. I can't get none of this to work for me. I all got was the files downloaded only desktop PC. After that nothing.
First and foremost top marks you're the guy always go to see who has hints and tips on anything related to Amazon fire stick. That being said, I recall you saying that people who don't want to lose their content can just do a factory reset. But they're stuck in a bootloop so the menu is not accessable. I do have a old fire pendaant that was stuck In a bootloop and will dig that out of the drawer and give this a shot. I'll update shortly let you know if this worked
Great Job, I'm with similar situation but with different behavior , is not rebooting is just stuck in second screen (1st -amazon logo) , (2nd - Fire Tv ...) , so using the strategy of adb with my device connected , the command adb devices , don't show my device, list is empty. Any idea ?
Great post - had this issue a few weeks ago and found it to be the flexible adaptor between the stick and the tv. When I changed the adaptor all was good. Just to give another option 👍🏻
you said you would put the adb thing in the comments and I do not see it. And it would be nice if you redid the video and explained the Abd tool thing. Where to get it. How to install it and how to use it. Command prompt ? I was so lost in no time 😒. As I am a neophyte 👍. Thanks and cheers mate 🍻🍺
Great vid mate. You need to interrupt the boot cycle. I simply solved boot loop problem by pulling out power cord that plugs into 4k firestick then plugging power cord back in. You must make sure 4k firestick is still running, don't turn off mains power when you do this or this will not work, 4k firestick must be running. Good luck
Best to just call them if you are within the 1year warranty and they will give you a new stick, if not ask for 50% discount, they will give you like they did to me. Mine was 5 years old so didn’t really mind getting the latest one at 50%
Gr8 Video TDUK ..If I don't know what was last installed (cos its been a while), am i knackered, otherwise Can i do a factory reset while linked by usb to my computer.. TIA
When i write adb devices i dont see my device at all, did some research, it says i have to enable adb debugging from the stick software itself, which i cannot access due to infinite boot loop
Thanks for the help tech doc. I had a new firestick 4k. would just show logo then black screen. With usb hooked to my pc...i went to command prompt and with the file downloaded from your link, I Save the adb files to my desktop in a folder name Launcher. Guys remember this part....you can change directory by then typing cd then space (cd ) ...then drag and drop folder fom desktop and that will open up the directory for you...then follow the doc steps. All I had to do was type reset instead of going through it all. Remember mine was just out of the box, so I did not have to worry about losing anything. hope this helps....thanks doc.
TechDoctor - My 4kstick isn't looping, but I wanted to to go through the steps of your tutorial anyway to understand it. The problem is my Win10 won't recognize my stick. Nothing shows in devices command, and shell command shows "error: device '(null)' not found". I'm stuck at this point. Just wondering if I might need some kind of driver. I don't see the stick anywhere in device manager also. I love all your videos.
Hey there, when you plug the device in, windows10 installs the drivers it needs to communicate with the firestick. Did you install ADB from my website tutorial page?
@@TechDoctorUK I did install it from your website. I even tried on my Win7 partition with no luck. I get a message failed to install drivers. If I put the stick back on the tv and my network, then adbLink 4.3 will see my stick and all the packages. I just can't make it work using USB.
I am having 2nd Gen amazon fire TV stick with me having the issue you resolved in your TH-cam video. I have understood the tutorial completely and I have working knowledge of command based interface. Only thing is my Window 7 machine does not detects my fire TV stick. I have even downloaded the driver provided by you. Tried other PC's also. Please guide me how to resolve the issue.
If you're not kissing his ass he's not going to respond you know them fake comments where they're all saying he's very smart and kissing his ass he responds to them it's probably him responding to himself this crap doesn't work it's pointless and useless don't waste your time
Could you give me more information about how to do that with when your fire stick goes in the boot loop how to get out of it using your computer cuz I didn't get that thank you
Thank you soo much it worked! For those on Mac use 'cd /Users/(Name)/(Folder Location)/(Folder Name)/' then once you're in the folder where the adb file run './adb devices' and that should show your device. For every time he says to run a command starting 'adb' use './adb' instead. Everything else is the same, as he says if it doesn't work keep trying it eventually will.
Hi TechDoctorUK Great Tutorial and just what i'm looking for as my 4K Firestick is stuck in a loop and I have been searching for a solution....I'm unfortunately not to Tech savvy and have tried to search for the link to download the ADB link or download as required and noted the comments below also searching for the same and checked out the TechDoctor link you have answered the comment with but still cannot see where the download is, I would really appreciate it if you could simplify the process for me as to supply the link maybe direct in your reply if possible. I really do appreciate this as at present I am located in a very remote location in Granada Spain way up in the mountains....Many thanks TechDoctor and please keep up with your fantastic work!

@@dmo848 Hi Dan sorry for the late reply as I've only just notice your comment and I will most certainly be giving that a try and will definitely let you know of the results.... Many thanks and take care and keep safe 👍🏼
I wish this video was available when mine was doing the same over the same 2 apps. I tried everything and nothing would work. I did fix it tho. All I did was plug in to power and not plugged to the tv. Every day I would hook up my small tv to see if it was looking and it was. It took like 4 to 5 days of looping till finally I hooked it up and it was just a dark grey screen. Unplugged from power and back in and Bam it started like new :)
Question, what if the computer isn't "connecting" to the computer, not recognizing the device, tried different cables did all the steps correctly etc. just not connecting. Should I try the keyboard/dongle approach that's been posted on the web as well or is this just a lost cause??
When I do the List of Devices command it lists my Firestick i.d followed by unauthorized Then when I do adb shell it says error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device How do I get past that?
I've been searching the net for remedies based on this error but all relate to phones which have a screen allowing you to allow or revoke authorizations, since the Firestick has no screen how do I go about fixing this issue? Is there a command that can be used via ADB?
hey buddy beautiful video, I am trying to create a video like this but my firestick I never had my adb turned on, now stuck on bootloop what would i do if i can't go to adb shell?? any idea??
Are you using an official power adapter to power the firestick ? bootloops can also be caused if the device is not getting enough power (eg you are powering from a USB port on your TV)
Have a firestick lite that I followed your lead on stopping updates and I installed another launcher and all the usual cool apps. I then deregistered the account. Now adding a new account I get registration successful message and bootloop. What could be the fix for that? I don't think it's an app that caused it. Everything was working fine before I deregistered account.
After running the prompt "adb devices" it shows the Fire Stick being attached, but it is saying "Unauthorized". When I go to run "adb shell" I get an error message saying "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device". What can I do from here?
I DL the files and then I was lost from there as to how to get 1) my PC to see my FS 2) how to get thru the rest of the instructions that you provided. I am lost! You make it look easy and it is not.
You may need to upgrade to Windows 10(windows 7 no longer supported). Open Device Manager, connect firestick to USB on PC, then you should see mt65xx appear and disappear.... If it shows no driver available. Open "Windows Update" then click on "Optional updates". Download and install the "MediaTek Inc. - Other hardware - MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)" Good luck!
I can't reset it. It's called " brick" Amazon's known since June this loops happening. I'm sending it back to get 20% off a new one, & a gift card. I'm ok with that since it's way outside warranty
So can we add the Google play store in your FL store on the 4k stick or is this what caused the boot loop, I know people were getting stuck in a bootloop on an update a few weeks ago, but was just wondering if it's safe to download Google play store, can't find the video on that, Ty
Is there any way to do this on a fire tv box,get as far as daemon running but it doesn’t show any device, got the box connected to the laptop vire a usb appreciate any help
@@TechDoctorUK If that is the usb male to male connection yes , I can hear the fire TV box connecting to the laptop , I also have power going to the fire TV box.
I found this video and was super excited, however my devices do not connect to pc so I can't go further. I presume this is because I don't have adb debugging enabled on the firesticks. Is this correct and is there any way to get round this if the stick is stuck in loops?
TDUK it seems that, from what I have read here, this is ONLY working for a few people. My PC told me that my FS was not ready, was not authorized. Please make the instructions simpler. All I have is the files that you said to D/L and that is it. The rest of your instructions did not help me since my FS (caught in the loop) is not being seen by my PC. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I cannot get my COMMAND PROMPT to see any of that stuff in your video. I put the D/L you said to D/L on my desktop in a folder called LAUNCHER. After that none of the instructions were useful.

Good evening I'm trying to find the adb command to download and I'm not seeing it in the description I have 2 fire stick that giving me a black screen and not coming on where can I find the adb so i can download it on the computer
Yea when I go loopy I know where to come now, way beyond my abilities, but hey when it happens I'll still have hope. I'm going to look for tutorials on ADB de-bugging looks the way forward. Inspirational stuff. Did you find a cure for covid19 yet? great work.
Hallo! Great Video. Question: after i put in “adb devices” i dont get a serial number. After i put in “adb Shell” i have a “error: device Not found” what am i doing wrong?
my firestick is not authorized on adb. whenever I plug it to my computer I get a prompt on tv to enable debugging but it directly disappears and my remote is not connected to press on it. on adb when I put adb devices, when the screen is black it shows authorizing near my device ID, but then it continues with the loop. Is there a way to enable debugging from my computer, or do it through the prompt on tv, even if my remote seems not to be connected. Appreciate your help
Great video, but I got a an answer from Amazon, that actually worked : In this email, I'm including the steps to reset the Fire TV on the account. If your Fire TV stick is responsive, please follow the below steps. 1. From the Home screen, select Settings. 2. Select My Fire TV, and then scroll to the bottom of the list. 3. Select Reset to Factory Defaults. If your Fire TV stick is not responsive, please follow : 1. Press and hold the back button and right on the navigation ring for a full 10 seconds. 2. When the pop-up prompts the customer to cancel the reset, chose to reset. Alternatively, wait at that screen for the reset to happen automatically. I hope this information helps. In case of any further concerns, please do reach us out anytime. Best regards Amazon
I have been facing a similar problem but I own a firestick, it's not firestick 4k. My TV is not booting past the Firestick logo and after that, my storage and applications are getting optimized, when's the process's done, this whole thing is again getting repeated. I have tried all the possible techniques to solve this, but nothing's helping. Please help me.

Question, what if the computer isn't "connecting" to the computer, not recognizing the device, tried different cables did all the steps correctly etc. just not connecting. Should I try the keyboard/dongle approach that's been posted on the web as well or is this just a lost cause??
Did you get any solution to fix bootloop? I have a fire stick 4k in that state.
i cant continue this step... Someone know what it's?
Adb devices
List of devices attached
G070L8240... unauthorized
Does the same concept work on Fire Cube?
When I do the List of Devices command it lists my Firestick i.d followed by unauthorized
Then when I do adb shell it says error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device
How do I get past that?
I've been searching the net for remedies based on this error but all relate to phones which have a screen allowing you to allow or revoke authorizations, since the Firestick has no screen how do I go about fixing this issue?
Is there a command that can be used via ADB?
hey buddy beautiful video, I am trying to create a video like this but my firestick I never had my adb turned on, now stuck on bootloop what would i do if i can't go to adb shell?? any idea??
Are you using an official power adapter to power the firestick ? bootloops can also be caused if the device is not getting enough power (eg you are powering from a USB port on your TV)
@@TechDoctorUK real good question, no i am using anther power line, I will find the power and try again.
Have a firestick lite that I followed your lead on stopping updates and I installed another launcher and all the usual cool apps. I then deregistered the account. Now adding a new account I get registration successful message and bootloop. What could be the fix for that? I don't think it's an app that caused it. Everything was working fine before I deregistered account.
Hey TDUK how get the adb file I have 4k firestick boot loop problem I want to try to see if I can fix it like you thank you very much
Thanks for the video, Does anyone know how to install lineagOS or any other custom ROM to Fire TV stick?
After running the prompt "adb devices" it shows the Fire Stick being attached, but it is saying "Unauthorized". When I go to run "adb shell" I get an error message saying "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device". What can I do from here?
I DL the files and then I was lost from there as to how to get 1) my PC to see my FS 2) how to get thru the rest of the instructions that you provided. I am lost! You make it look easy and it is not.
Hi. Please help.... Where are the ADB Instructions for windows?
when I run ads devices nothing shows
Brilliant TDUK......thank you
Many Blessings to you and your family
Stay safe!
where are the files for the adb? you said they'd be available - wasted time
My windows 7 laptop does not detects FireTV stick also when I open adb it show no devices installed
You may need to upgrade to Windows 10(windows 7 no longer supported). Open Device Manager, connect firestick to USB on PC, then you should see mt65xx appear and disappear.... If it shows no driver available. Open "Windows Update" then click on "Optional updates". Download and install the "MediaTek Inc. - Other hardware - MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)" Good luck!
@@alexanderfrennett2439 at office now, will definitely try after reaching home. Thank you.
I can't reset it. It's called " brick" Amazon's known since June this loops happening. I'm sending it back to get 20% off a new one, & a gift card. I'm ok with that since it's way outside warranty
Getting an error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device. Please help! How to get resolved? 😪
Same here 😭 Any solution?
Same here as well lol
@@damo4959 That is wrong. In boot loop you can't get in fire stick settings to enable USB DEBUGGING.
So can we add the Google play store in your FL store on the 4k stick or is this what caused the boot loop, I know people were getting stuck in a bootloop on an update a few weeks ago, but was just wondering if it's safe to download Google play store, can't find the video on that, Ty
thanks man got it fixed for me, i deleted playstore
Hey another great video, but I’m having trouble seeing the link to download the adb file, could you point me in the right direction please.
Written the steps here - www.techdoctoruk.com/tutorials/fix-firestick-boot-loop/
Is there any way to do this on a fire tv box,get as far as daemon running but it doesn’t show any device, got the box connected to the laptop vire a usb appreciate any help
Are you use a USB-A to USB-A cable ?
@@TechDoctorUK If that is the usb male to male connection yes , I can hear the fire TV box connecting to the laptop , I also have power going to the fire TV box.
I found this video and was super excited, however my devices do not connect to pc so I can't go further. I presume this is because I don't have adb debugging enabled on the firesticks. Is this correct and is there any way to get round this if the stick is stuck in loops?
its not showing me the list of devices attached, does that mean the fire tv or fire stick is damage or what could be the problem? thank you!
same problem
@@ravithana Same, have you figure it out out?
TDUK it seems that, from what I have read here, this is ONLY working for a few people. My PC told me that my FS was not ready, was not authorized. Please make the instructions simpler. All I have is the files that you said to D/L and that is it. The rest of your instructions did not help me since my FS (caught in the loop) is not being seen by my PC. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I cannot get my COMMAND PROMPT to see any of that stuff in your video. I put the D/L you said to D/L on my desktop in a folder called LAUNCHER. After that none of the instructions were useful.
Firestick is not connecting to my pc after all the usb drivers of Firestick is already installed still not connecting, please help!!!!
Techdoc i am finding the serial number using abd but its saying unauthorised any idea how to authorise the fire stick , its saying kill server doesn't work
Same here... Did you ever resolve this? Please help.
c:\Launcher>adb shell

Good evening I'm trying to find the adb command to download and I'm not seeing it in the description I have 2 fire stick that giving me a black screen and not coming on where can I find the adb so i can download it on the computer
Yea when I go loopy I know where to come now, way beyond my abilities, but hey when it happens I'll still have hope. I'm going to look for tutorials on ADB de-bugging looks the way forward. Inspirational stuff. Did you find a cure for covid19 yet? great work.
My Fire tv box is doing the same thing. Boots to the Amazon logo screen and that's it. Stuck in boot loop.
Any suggestions how I can fix it?
How do you do a factory restore using this method please. Jason
adb shell am broadcast -a com.amazon.tv.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR
PS...I am using windows 10 on my laptop....Many thanks!
Hallo! Great Video. Question: after i put in “adb devices” i dont get a serial number. After i put in “adb Shell” i have a “error: device Not found” what am i doing wrong?
same for me have you found a solution
It would be nice if you responded back to issues...just say you dont know....device not showing up after cmd's...
Please help me in My Command prompt in adb no devices are shown under adb devices what should I do ?
my firestick is not authorized on adb. whenever I plug it to my computer I get a prompt on tv to enable debugging but it directly disappears and my remote is not connected to press on it.
on adb when I put adb devices, when the screen is black it shows authorizing near my device ID, but then it continues with the loop.
Is there a way to enable debugging from my computer, or do it through the prompt on tv, even if my remote seems not to be connected. Appreciate your help
Great video, but I got a an answer from Amazon, that actually worked :
In this email, I'm including the steps to reset the Fire TV on the account.
If your Fire TV stick is responsive, please follow the below steps.
1. From the Home screen, select Settings.
2. Select My Fire TV, and then scroll to the bottom of the list.
3. Select Reset to Factory Defaults.
If your Fire TV stick is not responsive, please follow :
1. Press and hold the back button and right on the navigation ring for a full 10 seconds.
2. When the pop-up prompts the customer to cancel the reset, chose to reset. Alternatively, wait at that screen for the reset to happen automatically.
I hope this information helps.
In case of any further concerns, please do reach us out anytime. Best regards Amazon
Only works if your firestick is accepting commands from the remote......Mine will not.
You said you're going to believe the ADB Link in the description and you didn't
I have been facing a similar problem but I own a firestick, it's not firestick 4k. My TV is not booting past the Firestick logo and after that, my storage and applications are getting optimized, when's the process's done, this whole thing is again getting repeated. I have tried all the possible techniques to solve this, but nothing's helping. Please help me.
