Greetings here in the Roku Community, @goparrish!

We see that you're experiencing issues with pairing your Roku remote to your Roku device. Please try replacing the remote batteries and using a different HDMI port or TV. We also suggest resetting your Roku remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. After doing so, pair it again.

Please keep us posted.

Thanks,
Jharra

Hi @Brad23,

Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

We understand that you are facing an issue with the Roku Remote. We're sorry to hear about the issue you're running into and we would like to know how to identify and resolve any remote issues.

Just to verify, does the remote originally come with your Roku TV, or purchased separately?

As a first step, we recommend taking a look at our Support page to troubleshoot remote issues: How to fix your Roku voice or simple remote that is not working | Official Roku Support

I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to keep us posted.

Hi @Brad23,

Thanks for following up.

We would like to ask if you attempted to try running the steps on this link to get your remote back up and running. How to fix your Roku voice or simple remote that is not working | Official Roku Support

One additional suggestion we would like for you to try to perform the power cycle by going to Settings > System > Power > System restart > Restart and unplug your TV for 10-15 minutes then plugging it back in. Then please remove the batteries from the remote. Plug it all back in and place the batteries in the remote once you see the Roku letters bouncing if that resolves the issue.

Let us know if there's any difference after.


Best regards,
Mary

The solution is to use a remote without a "voice" option. The cheaper remote beams IR directly to the tv sensor where the one with voice connects to the Wi-Fi in your house.  With the factory reset you aren't connected to the Wi-Fi so your remote no longer works.

I know it’s been a while, but I’m posting an answer in case someone else has the issue. 

On a voice remote without a pairing button, press and hold BOTH the Home and the back button for 5 seconds. The light will blink and it should get recognized pretty quickly. I did that and it paired right away. Everything worked after that.

same issue. I factory reset the roku box. Remote did not work. Stuck on language page.

Unplugged device, took batteries out of remote. waited a minute. put back together.

Pushed the remote home and back buttons, got the flashing green lights. they stopped.

remote still doesn't work.

Have repeated several times but does not fix the problem.
