I highly recommend using Putty if you are on a PC. It is free:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Also, make sure that you have developer mode enabled on your device, it may reset if there was a recent software update. - Joel

Also make sure you're not connected in another cmd window.  The Roku only allows one connection per port at a time, so if you're connected in another window, you'll see what you're describing.

And if none of the above suggestions help (all are good ones) reboot the Roku.
