Re: Roku Streambar stuck in a recovery mode update loop
I'm having the same problems as those above (endless loop) and none of the solutions offered have worked. I fear i'm dealing with a bricked device.
version: 9.3.0 * 1060
serial number: YL00EC435691
device id: 2A119E435691
roku: 9102R

Re: Roku Streambar stuck in a recovery mode update loop
Roku reached out with PM to try it again. On 2nd attempted recovery it finally restored on Roku OS 12.5.5.
i tried to manually update the ROKU OS to 13, but it still doesn’t work.
At least it’s not a helium leak stranding me on orbit lol! Waiting for the Roku Apollo 13 🚀 👨🚀 fix.
