Thanks for posting this as a topic. I agree that there has to be a way to bypass the Kwese Play service option on the Roku. I'm currently sitting with two units and the tech in me is refusing to believe that they are bricked due to 3rd party incompetence. I've been in discussion with the retail chain that sold me the unit, but would happily give a hard code restart to one of them as a test.

Hi Mario, have you had any luck? It would be great if there was a way to re-flash these to the stock Roku system.

Unfortunately not - but I haven't really tried either. Was trying to get a refund first and that's not going to happen. So I'll start playing around with it - not very hopeful though.

After this debacle I won't be using anything Roku either. 

Why.  They had nothing to do with your provider going tits up.  If they provided their firmware to you, there's no way for you to flash it anyway.

So I'm super late to the party.

Most routers allow you to connect to a VPN or use some sort of proxy, so wouldn't this work by allowing you to connect to a UK or US roku server?

Roku does not allow discussion of using VPN (or anything else) for circumventing geo-restrictions.

Re: kwese play, Econet

Even if you did try jumping around any geo restrictions, the unit would probably still look for a Kwese play server/ connection first.
 Its a sham there is/appears to be no way to manually flash Roku software, as it would help in situations like this, you could try asking Roku support, but you probably wont get that far, as  your customer support is with Kwese play/whatever and not Roku.
 You could try the shop you bought it from, if you havent had it that long, and depending upon local consumer rights laws.
Again its a shame that Roku havent  released any flashing tools, and/or are unwilling to release such devices as it all adds up to yet more e-waste poluting the world.

Re: kwese play, Econet

Ok so I stripped an kwese play and the motherboard looks exactly like a roku3 board with minor difference on 1 or 2 chips. Is there a way to manually point the device to a roku3 software update?
