Mine started this same exact thing 10/21. Can't be just coincidence that ALL the TVs are taking a **bleep** at the same time regardless of age! It had to be the update. I've also tried unplugging, resetting, new outlet, etc. No difference but when performing reset it goes into recovery mode and stays on through the "update" and then goes back to turning off and on.
I was watching TV on Saturday and all of a sudden my TV rebooted itself and has been stuck in recovery mode no matter what I do. I have pushed the reset and eventually it will take to the screen where I can choose my language and connect to Wi-Fi with the offered options to update,restart or factory reset. When I click the update it appears to complete and then puts me in the loop of turning on and off and then returns me to the same screen with the same options. Same if I choose restart or factory reset as well. I have also tried using the flashdrive but it says my current version is more up to date and a downgrade is not allowed. I've left the TV unplugged for a day,left it plugged in as well and tried all of the troubleshooting options suggested in the community that I have found with absolutely no luck or change. I have also rebooted my router and modem along with the TV to no success or change, no other devices I own are having any issues.Version is 81F.04E12221A Serial # is YK00K2002796 Device ID is KK488K002796 Hardware iD is 8511X RCA model is RTR3260-B-US That is all the info that I got and like I said it just cycles through no matter what i have tried back to the purple recovery mode screen. Any help would be appreciated if there is any to be had 🙂

My tv is stuck on recovery mode. I have held down the reset button and unplugged my tv. Nothing is working! It gets me to the step of asking for me to “update now” after connecting to my WiFi and after that it restarts and I have to input my WiFi information in all over again just for it to keep asking to “update now”, restarting and making me do it all over again. Please help.
Our 65" TV started doing this around 1:00 today. It is now 7:32 p.m.
One of the times it came up with the option to go to do Restart, Update, or Factory Reset. And we chose update. It came back with "update failed". So then we tried to reset it again by pressing the little button on the back of the TV by the HDMI connection multiple times trying our different options for WIFI. But now the only option is UPDATE. It runs through the update and one time got to 99%, but it then just goes back the the onn.Roku screen. We have unplugged everything from the TV, we have unplugged the TV from Power. We have waited different amount of times. We removed it from our list of ROKU devices. It still will not complete the update. Here is the information describing the TV:
Version : CTF.04E12221A
Serial Number X012005G6326
DEVICE ID: SOU4335G6326
HARDWARE ID: G855x
onn Model: 100012587
Today our TCL Roku TV is stuck in recovery mode. We have tried all the things with unplugging and plugging, reset, USB method said it was a downgraded system from what we have so couldn’t use it. WiFi rebooted as well. The only other choice on screen besides upgrade now which leads to usb, is restart. Did that and start up screen would come up and go off for awhile and then would land us right back to recovery screen. Can’t check current version since no Home Screen. Other id numbers in photo.
Hi @Arkansas5,
Thank you for your first post to the Roku Community!
We appreciate you bringing the issue with your Roku TV to our attention. We understand that you are experiencing difficulties completing the software update, and for sharing the steps you've taken to resolve the issue and your device information.
Please be advised that if your Roku device is stuck at 99% during an update and then suddenly returns to the ONN Roku screen, this typically indicates a problem with your internet connection or the update process, preventing the new software from fully installing.
We recommend trying the following:
In addition, we suggest connecting your Roku device to an alternative wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if that resolves the issue.
Please keep us posted, and we'll continue assisting you from there.
All the best,
