Use the botton on the back of the Chromecast. One press to pick an item, hold to select it. I had this happen twice, just click on "Try Again" and you'll be all good.
Wow, a lot more people are having issues in here than I would have expected. Hope Google gets this shit figured out quickly. It's obviously not normal for devices to be dropping into recovery like this.
Try a factory reset like it says in the second menu option
Firstly, using your TV remote, open your Picture settings and find the option to alter aspect ratio . Choose Just Scan or whatever term Thomson uses to mean the full picture.
As for the problem you're actually asking about, others have given the answer. The Bluetooth remote won't work in recovery; the OS needed to be running for that. Use the button on the device; tap to move between options, hold to select (so I believe, I don't have the new Chromecast with Google TV)
I just changed the hdmi port and pressed the bottom in the chromecast until pass from white-> red -> again white.
Mine did that and I just unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it started working again.
How can I select Factory data reset ? The remote doesn’t work ......
Just had the same thing happen
Yep. Had to factory reset :(
Happened to me too, simply clicking the button on the unit made it work again somehow
The old one from 2010?
Happened overnight, not sure if the device updated by itself. "Try again" with the tiny button on the device did fix it for me.
Someone less tech savvy would probably deem the device broken because the remote doesn't do anything. Get your shit together google.
i tried this befpre when installing wolf launcher. at this point your remote wont work. there is a button on the back of your dongle, short press is scrolling up and down, long press is confirm. i long press to select try again make a reboot and fix this
This happened to me yesterday. Just used the button on the actual device to restart and all was good again.
