The above methods require you to access a remote control or use the same WiFi to use the app. But what if you bring your remote with it home, your TV does not support CEC and do you have a different WiFi connection for your app?
In such awful circumstances, you have to fool the Fire TV Stick into believing that you are on the old Wi-Fi network. To do this, change the name and password of your router to the last Wi-Fi network that the Fire TV Sick used or create a hotspot connection from your mobile with the same name and password as your previous Wi-Fi. This will connect your Fire TV Stick and your phone to the same wifi. You can then run the Fire TV app on your phone to navigate the controls and finally reset the Fire TV Stick.
