All,
We are aware of the disruption of devices displaying a blue triangle when starting a GPS activity. Holding the power button until the unit powers off may or may not restore functionality temporarily…
All,
Thank you very much for your patience as we worked on this issue. Please see the steps from My Garmin Device Will Not Boot Past the Start Up Screen for a resolution. If you already performed the steps…
Although appreciated, it's completely absurd the only guidance we have are some other users suggesting button combinations to get these devices to power back on but not resolve this issue. Where is…
Yep, bricked Forerunner 255. I started a walk and flashing triangle. A soft reset does nothing.
I'm not using beta firmware; had an update about a week ago.
Additionally the Connect app on my phone…
Same issue here. Following this thread for any updates on a fix.
me too. soooo frustrating. ah well, first world problems and all that.
I bought the FR 255 new today. I was googling how to get the damn thing started up! Glad I found this info about the triangle bug. I'll wait for a fix....
Same issue. I wonder if we will see a big impact of activities on Strava?
I also got this issue today but for me master reset is working and I can use the watch again until I choose again some gps activity. So it happened already 4 times today on my watch but still can reset it and use. I was also able to complete some gps activities like running and walking today, not always it crashes.
Performing a master reset without prompt:
Make sure your watch is off.
Press and hold the Down, Start, and Back buttons
Turn on your watch while holding these buttons.
Release the Start button after the first beep.
Release the other buttons after the second beep.
Looks like Garmin has removed the dodgy GPS update file :-)
I have just rest mine again using these instructions:
My FR255 is in a boot loop all day after an attempt at a firmware update today - Forerunner 255 Series - Running/Multisport - Garmin Forums
Just sync'd using Garmin Express and opened an activity and non boot loop!
I then used Express to restore my watch faces + apps.
Hopefully this will stay that way
Same here. Tried to reboot after a swim and morning but blue flashing triangle.
Same here. Tried to reboot after a swim because watch lost the sync with my phone. Blue flashing triangle as a result. Ugh.
I also got the triangle, cannot start the watch, brand new. One week only.
Mine did the same ,955 2 yrs old. Unable to reset.
