[Solved] Roku Device Stuck in Recovery Mode

Jump to solution

Hi Community users,

We are aware of an issue where some Roku devices are getting stuck in recovery mode. We believe the OS 14.1 update has addressed this issue, but it seems that some TVs aren't updating automatically.

If your TV hasn't updated yet, please send me a private message (PM) with your Device ID, and we can assist in pushing the update through.

We're closing this thread now. Thanks so much for your patience!

Hi, @hayliewiedeman7 

Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We came across your post regarding the issue you've encountered with your Roku TV, specifically with being stuck on Recovery Mode, and we'd be happy to assist. We'll provide troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

Completely Restart the Roku TV

  1. Locate the pinhole Reset button on the back of your TV, near the antenna, HDMI, and audio connections.
  2. Using a straightened paperclip (or similar), press and hold the reset button for at least 30 seconds.
  3. Follow the steps to re-activate the Roku TV once more.

Additionally, you can restart your modem/router before performing the mentioned steps above.

We hope that you find this information useful and resolve the issue you've encountered. Let us know if you have further concerns or inquiries.

Best wishes,
Kash

My tcl roku tv keep restarting! I tried to press the reset button for 15 seconds and going through the set up but it don’t stay on long enough for me to finish the recovery mode/set up. I tried unplugging and plugging it back in. I tried switching the outlet. Nothing is helping! It still keeps restarting
