I think it’s stuck in recovery mode

My onn Roku tv is stuck on the let’s get started screen, and shows the languages below. I bought a box and remote to see if that helps the remote is connected if I press ok the tv comes on, but won’t do anything from there. I’ve tried resetting it and everything so I’m lost on what to try.

Re: I think it’s stuck in recovery mode

If you don't have a working remote, it won't move past that screen. A Roku stand-alone device and its remote won't control the Roku tv. But if this Roku device's remote has a pairing button in the battery compartment you could try pairing it to the Roku tv instead of the Roku device.

So is there no way to get past this if I don’t have the tvs original remote?

Yes, but it doesn't have to be Roku tv remote, a universal or cable oem remote with proper tv code would work too. Do you have any old Directv or cable remotes laying around?

I do not, so what your saying is I can go get a onn universal tv remote?
