Charge 5 blinking logo after attempt to update

[hoosierny]

Wondering if my Charge 5 is bricked. Seems a lot of issues reported in the forum and elsewhere online by others when trying to update and looks like I’m one of them. Stuck in a blinking logo loop after trying to reset/restart multiple times. Anyone been able to find a way to get out of the loop and restore function? Watch was working great until latest update. Reminds me a bit of the Apple scandal seeing as Google just purchased Fitbit and I’m sure wants people to purchase the newer devices.

Facing the same issues. Haven’t bothered with support based on all I have read here

Hello @hoosierny & @KIBA174 

One of the Charge 5 users use freezing temps to get their device to work. This thread (<-- click link) describes the method they used. Although there's no guarantee that this will work for you, it might be worth a try.
