The TV went into Recovery mode and I am stuck in a loop. I tried the restart suggestions and nothing works. At first it wouldn't uodate but a reset would restart it back to the red screen. Now it will update but after restarting it takes me back to Recovery mode.

Today our TCL Roku TV is stuck in recovery mode. We have tried all the things with unplugging and plugging, reset, USB method said it was a downgraded system from what we have so couldn’t use it. WiFi rebooted as well. The only other choice on screen besides upgrade now which leads to usb, is restart. Did that and start up screen would come up and go off for awhile and then would land us right back to recovery screen. Can’t check current version since no Home Screen. Other id numbers in photo.

@PuppyNest @That’s what mine done and was like it for 3wks contacted where I bought it from got full refund

Was yours working at first? We have had ours for like 6 months and it has been quirky but not stuck like this until today. I was thinking there is a problem with a new update that is not loading.

@PuppyNest @Yeah mines was working then a went to turn it on one day and that started happening and that was that. So a would go back to where u got it from as no one seems to be getting any help from anyone else. It’s worth a try and if it’s only 6months old that should be fine

Yay, problem fixed. We tried the reset with the pin while everything was plugged in and turned on. Takes about 10 minutes pressing it and then light flashed. Then we got the Let’s get started page to get it linked to our network. Added our apps and it did 74 updates but didn’t take long. TV fine after that no problem streaming. My husband said it is tricky to hold it in the right place to reset.

Got our problem fixed. Redid the reset with pin with everything on. Held it in place for 10 seconds and light flashed. Immediately, the Let’s Get started page came up. After finishing the startup instructions. It landed on home page. I think it is tricky holding the reset button as you have to feel it rather than see it.  Working fine now.
