Remote won’t connect after factory reset

Jump to solution

I had to do a factory reset on my Roku because it was a hand me down and no matter how many times I logged someone’s account out, they would still show back up. But now that I’ve done that, my remote DOESNT WORK EXCEPT FOR THE POWER BUTTON. I can’t get past the language screen. I don’t see how a factory reset would completely mess up the remote connection like this.

FOR ANYONE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE: I have a voice remote with NO PAIRING BUTTON INSIDE. Hold down the home and the back button until the remote starts blinking.

Hello,

I have a 55” TCL Roku Tv and just a normal Roku remote with no pairing button that up until I reset the tv, worked perfectly fine. I had bought this remote separate from the TV and had no issues automatically connecting. The power button on the remote still works but nothing else does.
