Amazon Fire TV: How to Factory Reset without Remote

[@tilashuagaines3590]

This technique worked like a gem. I’m back up and running. The one thing I will say is even after the reboot my tv did not lose the info or channels I already had. I’m happy. Thanks a billion for sharing your knowledge.

[@unwrrntdnetwork8463]

Now I’m stuck with a unusable tv. Can’t set up tv after reset, without a remote. Helpful video all the way to to the end

Me too did you get your to work

Same! So frustrating.

Hi guys, I reset my firestick with no remote now I am stuck on the pair screen with the different languages

1-10-24🎉😂 💃🏽Thank you, Thank! I was going to toss my TV. I had tried everything to include leaving it unplugged for weeks. Searched for a new video today for the heck of it & found his for the 1st time!! He says unplug TV. Continue to hold the power button as you REPLUG the TV. As soon as you see the fire TV screen logo let the power button GO! If you don't see the reset screen continue to try! It worked the second time because I let the power button go early enough. (This is different from all the OTHER instructions that say continue to hold the power button until the TV turns back on.) After the factory reset. The TV asked if I wanted to use my phone or remote to finish. It took two tries because my Internet is slow. Thankfully, my Amazon settings allowed me to restore everything on the TV💃🏽!💯

[@phallghuy]

Your the man, it took forever to find a video like this everybody else uses the phone app which didn't work

[@jeaninefrias]

THANK YOU!!! Omg 😱 I was about to loose my mind and you saved me and my family. 😂 I was fighting with the child lock for about 20 min even after resetting it a dozen times and then my husband checked and the tv wasn’t connected to the internet, but we couldn’t get past the child lock to get to our account to connect and so it was factory reset time… but couldn’t get past the infuriating child lock!! Your reset method SAVE me from chucking my tv into the abyss! Thank you 🙏 😊

[@WorldofTech]

No worries!

[@sccpsteve]

Thank you for this video. The Toshiba FireTV in the master bedroom bricked itself at 3am last night and got stuck on the firetv booting screen. I actually figured out how to do this on my own, but the method is the same and I thought why not research why this happens to old FireTV's. A factory reset caused the TV to go back to the setup screen instead of bootlooping. It has been working ever since. My mother would have chucked it in the e-waste if not for this easy fix. She bought a new TV anyway though.

God bless you. The ONLY video that helped me to get my Insignia Firetv to work again

[@ambertinnell2442]

Thank you I searched for hours and this was the most helpful

[@vernicepayne8036]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, TRUST ME PEOPLE THIS WORKS, I was ready to send the TV back...No joke

[@My1Beautifullie]

This video is absolutely what I needed. Thank you!

[@dansergent758]

Why wouldn't you just use the remote to reset it if you are going to use it after the reset is completed? If we don't have the remote to reset the tv we aren't going to have the remote to use to set up the tv after the reset. Can you show us what to do in that scenario?

[@InfamousTog]

Thank you WorldofTech. Your video title was my exact google search

[@xgankzx]

But this isn’t without the remote. You stopped at a pivotal point in the process. My universal remote selects the language, but the next screen is, as far as I can tell, 100% reliant upon fire tv remote.

[@michaelbailey4442]

Did you ever find a way to do it with your universal remote? I have the same problem

[@douggie85]

@@michaelbailey4442 i also don't have the original remote and did a factory reset and am now stuck. Any luck figuring it out?

[@MLJstuff]

I do a factory reset, then my remote is already synced, I then select language with my remote, then the next screen is saying “searching for remote, tap home button” but when I do, nothing happens. The remote is clearly paired to the tv, as I can select language etc. It’s not the home button that’s broke, as I have use the exact same remote on my sons same jvc tv in his room

[@michaelbailey4442]

@@douggie85 I ended up finding the right remote for the TV. I never did have any luck with the universal remote

[@sccpsteve]

For all the users saying you can't set your FireTV back up because the remote got bricked, use a keyboard to set the TV back up and re-pair your remote by going to the pairing screen and holding the home button for 10 seconds.

[@trinityallure]

Omg you are a life saver! This the only thing that work

Omg thank you so much.i forgot the child pin lock code. Thank you so much for this.i wouldn't know what to do. I thought I was gonna be stuck without tv

good video, and how can I get a fire stick?

[@tijocherian3988]

I have remote,I did all this with remote but still no change

[@mbanksinsulators]

Hi, my insignia fire tv was doing this small screen thing like resolution issue on pc so I did update and still doing small screen. I did factory reset but I don't have original remote. I tried for hrs to get it to pair- holding the home for 40 sec, holding left back and menu and unplug and all that. Nothing worked. Its the "primote" from amazon.. so I ordered another remote hoping it would work and nothing. For both remote- they automatically connect to tv- I can on and off and I can click on the language but then it never connects to home button. I tried to connect firestick and tv won't let me change input. It's crazy to have to buy new tv after factory reset just because don't have original remote. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!! Hope that makes sense lol

[@xgankzx]

I second this!

[@kelinakay7023]

Thank you worked like a charm

[@irasaposnik6511]

No

[@lany_07gaming]

Nice info for the Amazon Fire TV user's.👍

[@keldur16]

Be careful when you follow this guy’s instructions. Assuming you don’t have a remote you will eventually need one after the factory reset. He’s just gonna leave you with an unusable tv.

[@RajwinderKaur-il5eg]

Yeah! I Am in that condition. Don't know what to do next. How to set up tv WITHOUT remote.

[@GodsDtae]

Mines won't go pass searching for remote but I don't have the original remote only universal remotes and they are not pairing

[@cmassi]

what did you do - i did the factory reset and I actually have the remote but it doesnt pair so i'm stuck

[@chrismyres1203]

Toshiba basically said if you factory reset like he's doing without your factory Remote that came with the tv your only option is to order one directly from Toshiba programmed for your specific tv which is bullshit in and out of it self a $350 tv I can't use except for store display mode or stuck trying to pair

What do I do if I don’t have the original remote and doesn’t want to pair

Thanks Bro... now my Firetv is bricked... It's useless... I can't even change inputs... SETUP REQUIRES FIRETV REMOTE.

[@s.beezyprince3973]

I was in the same predicament. I had to buy an original fire tv remote from eBay and it worked like a charm. I highly recommend not buying a cheap one from amazon as they last about 1-2 weeks before it stops working

[@MattRobloxYT1]

Is this the android recovery system?

[@princekelvineofficiel4945]

Hi I want you to help My remote still isn't great: (it lets me select a language and I have already selected but then asks me to pair it to the TV (even though delete works) I tried to bring her closer, change her and hide herfor more than 10 seconds, it didn't continue and I don't know what to do anymore please

Me too my jvc 49inch fire TV stuck after i factory reset TV

[@jtcrowder2265]

@@Kill--alllll---IDF I got it to work. N just sold it for 250. It was a 65" omnifire . I plugged it into the internet router and since it powered on by itself I let it sit there for an hour or so. Then I manually shut it off like 2-3 x and let it power on again. Let it sit hooked up to the router for idk a couple hours or so... Went and checked it... Nothing. So I unplugged it and took the back off bc the next day I was going to figure out a way to make it stop updating I was going to start with the Wi-Fi wire while its doing it staying just unplug it and see if that doesn't cause it to stop updating automatically like it was and the next morning I went to turn it on and I just glanced at the screen and I realize the update was password admin stuck at before and I sat there and watched it and cheered it on... rubbed its hips and called it a good girl and it finished updating!!!!! I don't know I think I got lucky but that's all I did. And it worked great after that. I salvaged it from the landfill apparently somebody else didn't have the patience or know how I don't know either way I made $250 just had to have a little patience.

[@jtcrowder2265]

@@Kill--alllll---IDF see my earlier reply, that just might work for you too. Plug it directly into your internet router and just let it do its thing. Hours if needed. Then try again next day.
