My firestick says no command

Short summary:

  1. Unplug your Fire TV and wait for 60 seconds.
  2. Press and hold the Left button, Menu button, and Back button at the same time for 12 seconds.
  3. Release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds.
  4. Remove the batteries from your remote.
  5. Plug in your Fire TV and wait for 60 seconds.
  6. Put the batteries back in your remote.
  7. Press the Home button.
  8. When the LED indicator blinks blue, your remote is paired successfully. If it's not paired, press the Home button for 10 seconds.
  9. If the above steps don't work, reboot your router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
  10. If the problem persists, try rebooting your TV by pressing and holding Back and the right side of the navigation circle together for 10 seconds. On the TV screen, choose to continue or cancel the factory reset. If you don't choose, the device resets automatically after several more seconds.
  11. If none of these steps work, power on your Fire TV like normal and let it sit at the stuck logo for a few hours at least, if not an entire day.
