Your Onn 4K Pro shows the Google logo, restarts, shows the logo again, and keeps going. This is called a boot loop, and it’s more fixable than it looks.
The fixes below go from the easy ones (a power check) to the heavy one (a factory reset). Work through them in order and stop when your box boots normally.

Why Your Onn 4K Pro Gets Stuck on the Logo
A boot loop usually comes down to one of four things. Here’s what each one points to:
The box stuck on the Google TV logo
| Likely Cause | What Helps |
|---|---|
| Loose or weak power | Reseat the cable and try a wall outlet |
| Corrupted system data | Wipe data / factory reset from recovery |
| Temporary glitch | Cold boot, then reboot from recovery |
| Hardware fault | Contact Onn or Walmart support |
Fix 1: Check the Power Cables and Do a Cold Boot
Start here. Power problems are a common cause of boot loops, and the fix costs nothing.
Check that the power cable is firmly plugged into both the Onn 4K Pro and the power adapter.
Check the power adapter and cable
Unplug the power cable, the HDMI cable and any accessories from the box, then leave everything disconnected for 3 to 5 minutes.
Unplug everything from the box
Plug in only the power cable and let the box power on fully. When the device lights come on, plug the HDMI cable back in and see if the loop is gone.
Connect only the power cable
Fix 2: Use a Wall Outlet or Try Another Adapter
Still looping? The box may not be getting enough power. Extension leads and power strips are common culprits.
Unplug the adapter from any extension lead or power strip and plug it straight into a wall outlet. Then restart the box.
Use a wall outlet, not a power strip
Fix 3: Reboot From Recovery Mode
If power isn’t the problem, Android recovery mode is next. It lets you restart the system without needing the box to boot normally.
Unplug the power cable, then find the reset button on the back of the box, next to the Ethernet port, and press and hold it. It may be recessed, so use a paperclip or similar tool if you can’t press it with a finger.

While still holding the button, plug the power cable back in.
Plug the power cable in while holding the button
Keep holding until the Onn logo appears, then let go.
Release when the Onn logo appears
You’ll land in Android Recovery. Press any button to move the highlight, then long-press on Reboot system now to select it.
Select “Reboot system now”
Fix 4: Factory Reset From Recovery Mode
This is the big one, and it fixes many boot loops caused by corrupted system data. It also erases your installed apps, accounts and settings, so keep it as your last resort.
After a reset, you may need to fix the unsupported region error when you set up your Onn TV again.
Open recovery mode again using the same steps as Fix 3. Press any button until Wipe data/factory reset is highlighted, then long-press to select it.
Select “Wipe data/factory reset”
When it finishes, reboot the box and go through the Onn TV setup again. If asked, pair your remote by holding Back and Home.
Pair your remote: hold Back and Home
Finish the setup and you’ll land on the Onn TV home screen.
Back to the Onn TV home screen
What If Every Fix Fails?
If the box keeps looping even after a factory reset, the problem is likely hardware. At that point there’s not much more you can do at home.
Contact Onn or Walmart customer support, especially if the device is still under warranty or inside the return window.
