How do I get my roku device complete IP address to link my phone to my roku since I lost my remote?

What device?  I'm guessing it's not already connected to your network or the app would be able to find it.  If it's a WiFi only Roku, your Roku MUST connect to your WiFi before you can use your phone.  If it supports a wired connection (only the Ultra), then the app should be able to find it.  If it doesn't support a wired connection and it's not connected, the only way to get it to connect is to use a Roku remote or a universal remote that supports Roku.  If it's a stick, the ONLY way to get it to connect to your WiFi is using a Roku remote.  No universal remotes will work with a stick.

This gets asked again and again and again.  You're Roku doesn't have an IP address until it's connected to your network.  There is no way to get it connected to your network, if it's not already, without a physical remote.  If it is already connected, I would think the app would be able to find it.  I would only use the official Roku remote app.

Can't be done.  Your Roku doesn't have an IP address until it's connected to your network.  There is no way to get it connected to your network without a physical remote.

I need the IP address. My phone had an app to use as a remote. working fine an hour ago NOW remote states to wake up device must turn on TV (it is). Added a different ROKU app remote. Still giving me the same message

Your TV must no longer be connected to your network.  Try resetting everything - your modem/router and TV.  Unplug the power of each for a few seconds and plug them back in.
