My Roku Ultra was in recovery mode when I turned on the TV. I first tried the physical reset button. No go.
Tried to update via recovery mode. Nope. Tried to restart via recovery mode. Na...

I just got off a chat with Roku support. In the end I was told to buy a new Roku. I questioned why, basically Roku send out an update and now I have to buy a new Roku? The response was that they added features that my 4640x couldn’t handle.?! 🤬
EDIT: For anyone reading this I just wanted to post a follow up. Even though the Roku rep I contacted via their iPhone app was completely useless and wrong, I am happy to say that the moderators here were GREAT and help me getting my issue resolved. A+ customer service from them.

Another Roku support person that has no idea what they're talking about. There's been no added features that the 4640 would not be able to handle. Even the much older Roku 3 and 4 are still supported with the latest OS version, and there's been no reports of any of them being bricked by an update. The 4640 uses the same CPU as several other devices from the same generation, and none of them seem to be bricked either.
