Re: Forced to update and showing error 004

I've been dealing with this for a month now.  Failed Update bricks Roku Express.

Roku offers no Agent support.  The best you can do is push and HOLD the reset button for 10 seconds.  This will wipe the Roku.  You'll have to re-reguster the device on your network AND reload the apps you want AND sign in again with all of the apps.  This will only work for a couple days, then the Roku will BRICK itself again with the Failed Update.

It's terrible that we have to do it this way.  This is one of the prices of Tech Bros getting so much power.  Good Luck.

Temporary fix.  Problem will recur.

Re: Error code 004 for update

this worked! 

We will see for how long.  Surprising that Roku does not make this knowledge accessible in their "help" section.

Pathetic.

Re: error 004 can't update software

Try Unplugging the device for a few seconds When it boots up you should have an option to update later choose that and you should be able to watch your apps
