Hub max won't reboot

My device won't offline.  It is stuck at the G logo.  I've turned it off, unplugged for 10 seconds multiple times, rebooted with holding volume buttons down and it does nothing.   I tried to reset it through app but since it's offline it can't.

Hey Linluvsbirda,

 

Thanks for sharing details about the issue. My apologies for the delays.

 

I know how challenging it can be to not have a working device when needed. A few questions: when and where did you purchase your Google Nest Hub Max? When was this issue (stuck on the G logo) first noticed? Was the device already in this state when you first discovered it? If no, were you in the middle of interacting with the device when it happened? If so, what were you trying to do? Did you unplug the device or was there a power outage shortly before you discovered this issue?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

The hub was purchased from Kohls in December 2019.  The issue was firsts discovered about 2 weeks ago when I first created the post.  I came downstairs to the kitchen where it was and saw it on the logo at about 4:45 am and according to my Nest app it had gone offline about a half hour before...but none of my other cameras had nor did I lose internet.  I only unplugged the device after the issue was there and I was troubleshooting.  There was no power loss to the house.

Hey Linluvsbirda,

 

Give these steps a try: 

 

  1. At the back of the Nest display, unplug the power cord and wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait until the screen with the "G" logo shows up.
  2. Repeat the first step, 10 more times.
  3. After the customer plugs the power cord back in, wait for the device to reset. The device announces "Welcome to Google Home" to signify that it's ready for setup.
  4. If the issue persists, could you send us the cast and software firmware version of your Google Nest Hub Max?

Best,

Alex

I did reply yesterday but it seems to not be there.  I asked how and I supposed to get the firmware version if I can't get into the device.

Hi Linluvsbirda,

 

If your device is still set up, you can get the firmware version by following these steps:

 

  1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
  2. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  3. Touch and hold your device's tile.
  4. At the top right, tap Settings and then Device information.
  5. Under "Technical information," find Cast firmware: X.XXX.XXXXX.

Let me know how it goes.

This information is not accessible.  There is no device settings tab.  I'm guessing because it isn't connected to the wifi it can't be seen.  It only shows as offline.

Actually, I just figured out how to get to it.  It's not the device title I have to click on, it is the room, then it gives me the option to click the device name and settings.  So, teh info is:

 

system firmware version: 295071

cast firmware: 1.56.295071

I had the same issues they told me they can’t do anything even tho it is clearly a software issue.

Hey Linluvsbirda,

 

Thanks for the additional information. Can you also check if you can provide us the software version of your Nest Hub Max? 

 

Seth_jordan, did you contact our support team? If so, can you share your case ID so that we can check your interaction?

 

Best,

Alex

No clue how to find software version.  Only found firmware version.
