You are not out of the woods on this, you took down tens of thousands of TV's with that update. Just because one person had the reset work, doesn't mean anyone else has had success. 

Update the USB firmware also since its an older version than the garbage you sent out last night.

It's happening across a lot of Roku TVs right now. They put out an update that seemingly bricked a lot of TVs.

Hello, @RokuArjiemar 

My device is the TCL 7105X 55S405

YN00NM864513

9T68AN864513

30F.04E12221A

The TCL Serieal # is: 1810GTO000929A01644

I've tried doing a manual update using a USB stick, but the update file on the Roku website is outdated.

Is it possible to know what the current update file on the Roku manual update site is? The one that I downloaded today is of a previous version, and we are unable to downgrade to it.

I know others have been waiting months, please chime in on whether you gave up on TCL TV's and purchased another brand.  It's a shame companies destroy perfectly functioning Televisions that end up in landfills with updates that rarely do anything to upgrade the device, but are actually mining user data.

Same thing happened to my kids tv yesterday out of nowhere. It had me go through the process of the recovery mode, then went back to the TCL-ROKU boot up screen. I have done literally everything, but I can’t get it to work.

Every person with this problem has tried recovery mode, update, factory reset, restart many many times. IT DOES NOT WORK! Please update USB files on the website to current version so downgrade error is fixes also.
