Google Nest Hub Max is not starting

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with my Google Nest Hub Max.

It is getting stuck in the initialisation page -> on the 'G' logo.

 

I've tried these 2 options already and it's not working. Can someone help me here?

  • For: Google Nest Hub (1st gen)
    • Please ensure that you are using the official power adapter that came with the Nest display.
    • Please plug your device in a different power outlet, and then attempt a reboot.
    • If this issue is unresolved, please perform the workaround below:
      • Place the device in Recovery Mode 
        • (unplug the device then hold down the volume button while plugging the device back in. Release the volume button once the device turns back on.)
      • Attempt a Factory Data Reset once the device boots into Recovery Mode 
        • (hold down both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.)  
  • For: Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) and Google Nest Hub Max
    • Please ensure that you are using the official power adapter that came with the Nest display.
    • Please plug your device in a different power outlet, and then attempt a Factory Data Reset.
    • If this issue is unresolved, perform the workaround below:
      • At the back of the Nest display, unplug the power cord and wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait until the screen with G logo shows up
      • Repeat step one, 10 more times. (For a complete total of 11 times).
      • After plugging the power cord back in, wait a few moments for the device to reset. It will announce "Welcome to Google Home" to signify that it's ready for setup.

Same thing happened to me. Happened early AM on 8/24/2022. Been working with a community specialist but nothing has worked so far. I think a push software update from Google killed my nest hub but no way to prove this. I'd buy another nest ( Google reduced price to $55 ) but ... no guarantee it wont happen again and Google supports playing games. I think our nest hubs are dead by friendly fire. 😥

Hi Princess : filled out the form. I think my Google hub stopped working after fuschia push software update on 8/24/2022. Can you confirm a Google update at that time?
