I’m one of those people who’ve got that issue, and I don’t know what to do. The problem is that I live in Bulgaria and there a no Apple store I can bring it to. So I’m really hoping Apple comes out with a software or some kind of a solution to this problem, cuz I’m going mad. 

I think the boot process gets hosed when you try and reset with 13.2. Don’t know how they could introduce a software fix for the bricked HomePods. Under normal conditions once you do the hard reset (red light at top of HomePod) the device should complete its booting and prompt you to setup. The problem is the boot doesn’t compete and the device reboots ad infinitum. They introduced a serious bug in a step that most tech savvy people would take when having issues. Apple Music was inaccessible yesterday for a bunch of people and that probably prompted a bunch of resets. So after encountering these issues and bricking my device I brought it into an Apple store. They had no way to fix it so they replaced mine.
