Error 004 - Roku fails to update and then freezes in blank screen

Hi, 

 

I was streaming normally before until my roku express was forcibly prompted to update with no option to update later.

Issue is that it keeps failing to install since it loads the update all the way to 100% and then produces error 004 "can't update software, Please try again later".


UPDATE: Now, it´s just forcibly trying to update on its own!
it doesn´t even require my input anymore

2ND UPDATE: It's back to normal after sucessfully restarting although its not clear ,if the update was made since when checked it says it still misssing one software update

Please, help!?
