Fire TV Stuck at ‘Connecting to Amazon.com’ Screen

Some Amazon Fire TV users may find themselves stuck at a screen that say ‘Connecting to Amazon.com’ when trying start it up. The device is unresponsive to buttons and won’t let you go any further. Restarting only takes you back to the same screen.

I have experienced this problem myself. Here’s how I got out of it.

When the Fire TV logo appears, press and hold the “Back” Fire TV Remote Back Button button and “Right” Fire TV Right on the control pad for about 15 seconds, or until you see an option to factory reset.

Fire TV Reset to Factory Defaults

Once the prompt appears, select “OK“, or just wait for the countdown to finish. The Fire TV will start to factory reset.

 

Complete the factory reset, and hopefully you’ll be able to go through the setup steps again.
