Is it possible to know what the current update file on the Roku manual update site is? The one that I downloaded today is of a previous version, and we are unable to downgrade to it.

I know others have been waiting months, please chime in on whether you gave up on TCL TV's and purchased another brand.  It's a shame companies destroy perfectly functioning Televisions that end up in landfills with updates that rarely do anything to upgrade the device, but are actually mining user data.

Same thing happened to my kids tv yesterday out of nowhere. It had me go through the process of the recovery mode, then went back to the TCL-ROKU boot up screen. I have done literally everything, but I can’t get it to work.

Every person with this problem has tried recovery mode, update, factory reset, restart many many times. IT DOES NOT WORK! Please update USB files on the website to current version so downgrade error is fixes also.

• we have the exact same problem and my tv is completely stuck on the recovery mode 

[rockinride]

I finally got it to reset to factory settings. I held the reset button 30 seconds several times until it finally loaded the setup screen. I use this 43S425 as computer monitor in my office so I would advise never setting up an internet connection in that scenario, this way the terrible automatic updates will not cause you any problems. If you use it for roku you will need to have it connected it to the internet and take your chances.
