Troubleshoot "Excuse us for a moment" Error Screen on Elo Terminal or Kiosk

If you encounter the screen below on either your Elo terminal or Kiosk, it means that you're stuck in what we call "Elo view." This will only occur on an Elo device.

If your device is an Elo terminal, follow these steps:

1. Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time. These are located on the back of your device. Make sure to not hold the buttons down for too long, otherwise it might start the factory reset process.
   
   
    
2. ​​A screen will show up asking for a password. If you have an Elo V2, or V3, enter 1elo (it may also be elo1). If you have an Elo V4, enter toastunlock401park.
3. Select Ok. 
4. Navigate home. 
5. On the screen, tap on the empty white space 5 times. 
6. Select Android Home. 
7. After the terminal successfully loads into the traditional Android home screen, proceed to install the Toast app. 
8. Go to Settings and then Security & Privacy.
9. Enable Install from unknown sources. 
10. In the browser, go to toasttab.com/link/apk and download the installation file. 
11. If you continue to see the same error screen, or if these steps don't work, please call Customer Care for assistance.

1. Confirm that your Kiosk has an active ethernet (hard-wired) connection to your network.
2. Once confirmed, power cycle your device:
   1. Locate the power button at the bottom of your device (use the image at the top of this article for reference).
   2. Hold the power button down for approximately 10-15 seconds. 
   3. Select Power Off. 
   4. Select Ok. 
3. If the error screen continues to appear, please call Customer Care for assistance. 

Troubleshoot "The content has failed to load on this device" Error Screen on Kiosk

The blue screen below that says "The content has failed to load on this device" will only appear on a Kiosk (Elo or Flex).
 

1. Unplug the power cable from the tablet.
2. Hold down the Home button on the back of the tablet while replugging the power cable in until Android recovery mode appears.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to select "Wipe data/factory reset" (or similarly worded "factory reset" option).

 

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please call Customer Care so they can assist in further troubleshooting.
