Your video and step by step are a life saver! I couldn’t find your USB drive you recommended but I bought a 32GB Kingston 3.2 and made sure the format was FAT32. It didn’t work at first but like everyone else said eventually after I would say 5-10 tries it went through and finished! It really sucks this happens but keep trying, good luck!

so I decided to update my system a couple days ago and got stuck in the boot loop. I watched this video vaguely and tried it with no success (missed a couple things). Took it to the dealership today where they said you need a brand new head unit. I said absolutely not because I have read so many success stories on fixing this. Tried taking it apart and putting it back together… nothing…. Tonight I watched your video again. This time I followed it step-by-step. 15 minutes later my system is working again. Thank you.

One question, which USB did you use, why have I used 2 different ones and neither works. And the one that is public is no longer on Amazon

@@TruckingLifeHello, thank you for your video, it is very interesting. The only problem I currently have is that I can no longer find the USB mflash on Amazon. Do you have any idea which one currently works?

Hey man! If I could buy a drink I would! I’ve done the update flawlessly to my mother-in-laws 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it worked fine. I used a different usb than I did for my sisters new 2014 jeep and I got stuck in the loop! Went and got some off-brand non san disk USB and it worked!! She was crying and everything I was like I’m sorry I’m sorry but all better now thanks to you! Cheers 🍻

Followed all these step and on the second try while driving to my father in law house it finished updating and started working fine again. Thank you for you help, I almost brought a refurbished unit.

That’s what you would think 🤔 but somehow it’s the consumers fault it gets stuck in a boot loop. Then we have to pay to fix it 🤷‍♂️

I have a 2013 ram with uconnect , and it’s been stuck in a boot loop , problem is when it was updated it wasn’t updated properly but when I go on uconnect for software updates, it says it’s already updated. Do you still have the file for the most recent update that you did on your ram , and would it work on mine? I have been in a stand still for so long and both uconnect and the dealer give me the run around and I have no way to get the software.

went to the dealership to have them update the guardian uconnect firmware, the managed to get it stuck in "recover mode" and just shrugged thier shoulders and told me to have the warranty company purchase a new one, takes about 6 months to get a replacement. went to the website and it just tells me theres no updates available.
