Everyone having issues, with a bricked Charge 5 (no help, with all of the recommended fixes), create a ticket with customer service and ask for a replacement. Commenting here, is not going to help you or anyone else. You need to open a ticket with customer support and follow through with what they’re asking you to do.
I received a new unit and I’m back to where I was before the update.
I refused the prompt to update, when I was installing my new unit.
I’m very happy with the support that I received from Fitbit customer support. I know they’re slammed,
Good luck!

@Karenfox5 Consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Many of us have created tickets with customer support, followed all of their steps, asked for a replacement, were denied a replacement, and told to wait for a firmware update.

When, the suggestions don’t work, ask for a replacement.
Complaining, here, is not going to fix your issue. You need to contact customer support directly.
Once I did that, I was sent a new device, which is working.
Complaining on this blog, is not even noticed, contact customer service.

@Karenfox5 I've done everything you've suggested. Contacted them 4 times, did everything they asked, and denied a replacement each time. I'm sharing my experience with other users here.

I’m telling you, demand that you send a replacement. They will.

Demand that they send you a replacement, just to be clear.

Don’t be threatening, just say that you expect a replacement for your device that doesn’t
