Fire TV Stick - Factory reset via ADBfire?

[jnix39]

Hi all
I'm a novice here, so please bear with me.
I have a Fire TV stick. Installed Kodi on it yesterday via ADBfire, plus LLama to get it to boot into Kodi straight away.
That was working for a while - booted into usual Amazon screens then automatically went into Kodi. But then the stick got taken out of the TV while kodi was running - and now I have problems.
Stick now shows white Amazon logo and then a black screen.

I can connect with ADBfire - so I've:
* used ADB shell to "adb reboot recovery" - gives me the "System update was not successfull, stick will reset" message. It then reboots but again get the Amazon logo then black screen.
* used ADB shell to uninstall both Llama and Kodi, and tried the recovery reboot again. Same as above.

Is there a way to full reset the stick to factory settings via ADBfire? Or any other advice?

Right + back button will do a factory reset on the box. I think it'd work on stick. Hold the buttons about 10 seconds (I think. Never used that option.)

Thanks, but that doesn't work for me. Screen just stays black

Bricked

Looks like it's bricked then - can't find a way to properly revert to factory settings. Oh well, you live and learn (hopefully)
