Oh, Thank you so much. This non techie 76 year old grandma fixed our Firestick, My husband had to unplug everything this morning before the guys came to install new carpet. He forgot what went where and plugged the Firestick cord directly into the cable box. He went to bed frustrated and I’ve been up for hours googling. Finally came to U Tube and found your video. The Amazon charger was still in the extension cord strip in another room.I found it and it’s working, It’s now 3:30 am and too late to watch another episode of my fav, The Man In The High Castle.

Found my old firestick and wanted to use it after several months. Thought it had kicked the bucket and I would have to buy a new one when I saw the message and it rebooted several times. Glad I saw your video

Most of the time, its usually the actual pwer adapter. If you use a cheap after market one, you may find this issue. Thanks for stopping by,.

I use the original adapter and original cord and I’m plugged directly into the plug outlet and it’s still optimizing. Imgonna buy another one to fix it!!!

Awesome! It worked like a charm! Thanks!

I only had one other item in a power strip along with the Fire Stick but I plugged the Fire Stick into a wall outlet and that fixed the problem. Thanks.

after the system storage optimization message, my fire stick came up with the screen below, and when i press the 'Home' button, this is the screen. if i click on 'setting' the screen goes dark and i get three blinking lights scrolling across the bottom of the dark screen, as if the system is 'thinking.' however, the settings never open. please help.

Mine keeps optimizing. After it finishes it just starts again.

I am having the same problem. My Firestick worked beautifully until I went into the settings and selected update, NOW it has the same problem you have and I do not know how to fix it. it must be a software glitch in the Firestick itself as it only started after I tried to update its software. Right now I switched to my Roku device, but I like Firestick better when it works.

Did your Firestick come with a short HDMI extender? If you are using the extender, remove it and plug the Firestick directly into the TV's HDMI port. That solved the problem for me.

I have changed to original adaptor and also moved the power to wall plug and finally removed the HDMI additional extension which comes with the fire stick and directly plugged into hdmi to tv and tried....wow..amazing...it worked..Thansk a lot for your video

Its 1/29/23 and I've experienced this problem for the past several weeks. I just removed my power from a power strip and plugged into a wall outlet. Still experiencing the continual rebooting.

Good looking out 💯💪🏾

Super easy to follow and it worked! Thanks!

Just a note from a electrician.... It makes no difference if you're plugged into the wall, or the power strip as far as power goes. In fact the power strip you were using is plugged into the same exact wall plug you plugged the Amazon power supply..... Just sayin...

I have 2 tv and 2 fire sticks.one is working and another is not working I same conditions.then what is your opinion.

Did not experience the problem with a Firestick 4K but did with the regular Firestick, even using the adapter and cable that came with the stick.. Yes, using a dedicated wall plug instead of a well loaded power bar worked. I read that the Stick uses 900 milliamps and the adapter is rated at 1 amp max. So, that leaves little wiggle room. If the adapter is being short-changed a bit by other devices on a power bar, I guess that's a factor.

Thank you! basically the firestick needs a thick usb cable if you don't have the oem, and 5v, 2.0 A charging brick. I was inadvertently using a 2.5 v, 1.0 A.

my original cord was damaged and am using a different one now. i still have the cube it came with and i’ve plugged it into the wall. however still getting the loop. will i have to buy a brand new cord that is supplied by amazon???

Alguien q hable español q me ayude, tengo el mismo problema, compré el dispositivo por MercadoLibre y no me llegó con su cargador original, necesito saber de cuantos voltios debo comprarlo o que para q me funcione, pues siempre termina y se vuelve ah reiniciar su ayuda sería de mucha utilidad. Gracias

This did not work at all. I even put it directly into wall socket. I get that loop and immediately after it the msg that my device is not connected and then right back to the loop. Tried changing the block with various new and used blocks to no avail. This all started after a so called update that came on it's own. Also all the tricks to reset the firestick do not work either.

This did work! Thanks. Basically, it was a connection issue. My HDMI outlet was was worn. I had to find a proper working HDMI outlet. People, just check anything dealing with the connection. Thank you again for uploading this.

As soon as I get to home screen my firestick goes straight to black screen and keeps restarting again and again doing the same thing as soon as I get to home screen, black screen again. I can't even press on any apps or anything it goes to black screen immediately after loading up home screen. Help please.

Thank brother very helpful video plugged my fire stick to the wall and that fixed my problem thanks again dude.

I keep getting the “optimizing” notification. Then it completes and the main menu comes up. When I click on any app the screen goes blanck/black and nothing I do with the remote brings it back. I can unplug the firestick and plug back in then the process repeats. Optimizing, main menu, click app black screen. Frustrating.

Thank you. Very much that help big time it’s fix now

it did not work I used different power cables andchargers I even used a new axon fire tv charger & cable but still the problem promises what should I do

I unplugged my power cord and it worked. HOWEVER, now I have a big white screen on the bottom and it tells me what program it is on. How do I get rid of that?

Thank you. This helped me to resolve my problem.

Wish they had a button combination to initialize the optimizing storage feature whenever it is actually needed instead of just a factory reset i mean come on when u reset something from factory nothing should need optimization to begin with but over time after apps are installed they would need optimization after a period of time so optimization after a factory reset optimizes what? There's nothing on it besides it would fix alot of operating system bloat issues

Many people plug their fire stick into the TV usb port to power it which can only provide 500mA, it works but can easily cause your TV to not power on due to Firestick draining the capacitors. Anyway, regardless of what device you use to power it, make sure it's a 2A or greater charger and a thick high quality cable. You DON'T need to use the Amazon brick, that's a common misconception. Match the 2a / 5v on a decent branded plug or even a mains USB hub that runs 2A@5v through its sockets. That last part is important, a lot of USB hubs drop their power output down to split between devices so if it has a max output of 5A @ 5V, once you plug more than 2 devices in the current will drop. Old iPhone chargers are only 1A and the same is usually correct for cheap charger bricks from places like Poundshop(Dollar Store, I guess) don't bother with them, for any devices you care about.

I have the original cord and plug and tried it and it still didn't work. I always had it plugged into the wall...I still get the same message.

I changed my power n it still showing me the same thing

I did everything and it still don’t work. Any suggestions I change plugs I went out and bought new plugs and still don’t work can you please help

Yes this has happened to me and this video really helped me out

Does it also work for fire tablet? I get this message all day. It also shuts off when there is battery.

Hi thank you for this info. One thing i found by trial and error and luck is when the optimizing is just about to time out say the last 20 seconds or so start clicking the center button randomly until it times out. It will then shoot over to the home page. Works for me.

I plug mine in the USB in the back of TV.. when you plug in adapter the stick is running when tv is off.

Thank you!!!

I have mine plugged into the wall. Sometimes it will freeze up, or the screen goes black. l just unplug it and let it reset.

Bad power strip. Nothing here is true. Plug directly into outlet and end up with a lightning strike taking out your entire system because you have a $3 power strip that is shot. Make sure you have surge protection.

I plugged in the originals cables and different cables but nothing changed

It didn't work for me with 4 diffrent cords and adaptors all original.

Ok, so after trying every trick in multiple videos....I finally got my firestick out of the loop of death. My fix was accomplished by switching the original power cord and adapter with a different one. I tried multiple ones. But finally I used a white one that I don't remember what it was for, but after I switched to that one and let it go through one loop that came on after I powered my firestick back on, it worked again.. hope that helps.

It's still doing it and it's plugged into the wall and I'm using original cord and block 😔
