Greeting @ericccook,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community.
We're sorry to hear about your experience. Let us help. When a new version is available, it is automatically downloaded and installed without interrupting the use of your Roku TV. Should you wish, you can also manually check for new software updates.
If your Roku TV is not connected to the internet, or in your case stuck on a boot loop, software updates must be done manually by first downloading a file to your computer, copying it to a USB flash drive, and then connecting that flash drive to your Roku TV.
For detailed instructions about this, you may visit our Support page: How to use USB to update your unconnected Roku TV
Does this clear the problem? Keep us posted.
Regards,
Nimfa
