Fenix 8 Boot Loop

Hello,

Since last night, my Fenix ​​8 has been rebooting continuously, and none of the procedures i found mentioned in the forum worked for me.

I finally managed to resolve the problem using the Unprompted Reset procedure, with a little twist that I'm sharing.

Here's the procedure I followed; it may be useful to others:

  

1) I turned off the watch completely by pressing and holding the Light button.

I checked that the watch didn't reboot automatically by waiting 30 seconds.

If the watch reboots automatically a few seconds after turning it off, you need to press and hold the Light button again until it turns off completely.

 

2) Once the watch was off, I held down the START/STOP and BACK/LAP buttons simultaneously and briefly pressed the LIGHT button to start the watch and initiate the reset procedure.

I waited about ten seconds, and as nothing happened (no sound, no vibration), I released both buttons and pressed them again.

Once again, nothing happened, so I released them again and pressed them again.

I felt a first vibration and released the START/STOP button, then a few seconds later, a second vibration and I released the BACK/LAP button.

The watch then displayed a cogwheel and a progress indicator and finally restarted by resetting itself.

 

Hope it will help !

Regards

Stéphane
