JUST FIXED IT! for now lol. It’s been stuck on this for two days. I literally just kept unplugging and doing hard resets for ten minutes, just repeatedly. It just let me through!

user_homigo Hello, and thank you for reaching out to Xfinity via our Community Forums. That sounds incredibly frustrating! It's definitely not ideal when your Xumo box gets stuck like that. I understand you've already tried powering it down and even a factory reset, but it's still stuck. Since the factory reset didn't fully resolve the issue and you can't even get back to the reset screen, it indicates there might be a deeper problem with the device itself. I would like to take a look at things from this end to see if I can help get this one working or get you set up with a replacement. To get started, please send a direct message with your full name and address.

user_flxxt1 I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar issue. We'd like to help. What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Did you try rebooting the box manually or through the Xfinity App? We also recommend rebooting your modem. Let us know if that helps.

I am having the same issue.  I had everything working properly, but recently I realized that I could no longer control the sound volume, and the voice button wasn't working.  I tried a factory reset twice, but both times it froze on "checking your status."  Help!

Thanks for reaching out @AtlantaJim about your issues with your Xumo Streaming Box, I understand it's frustrating when your TV service isn't working. Are you still currently having the same issues? If the screen is no longer stuck, and you're only having issues with the volume on the remote: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/programming-your-xfinity-remote

Try resetting your remote: 

Hold the Back (←) and Add (+) buttons simultaneously until the light on the remote turns green.

Then, press 9, 8, and 4 on the remote. The indicator light should blink red after a successful reset.

Let me know if this helps.
