Roku setup

[ghippo]

My Roku 3930X worked fine until last night's software update. Software update started, blue circle was rotating, but Progress was stuck on 0%.  After few minutes the update window disappeared, but I could not connect to any channel even though my wirelees connection and internet were working fine.  I looked for solutions here in the community and FAQ and ended up doing the factory reset.

Imanaged to go through the setup only to a point, when I am waiting for Roku to send me the ACTIVATION code, the screen does not even go to allow you to enter any code.

So no support for anything else, they are advising you to check the web and they rudely disconnect the call with "GOOD BUY".

I do not recommend anybody to buy anything from Roku.

Two weeks ago L bought a new Hisense Roku TV. No problem with account activation then my new is defective. A buy a new one but acount activation does not work. I change TV and try again but account activation is again a dead end.  Do not know how Roku can function like this. Real dissapointment. I am thinking of changing to another provider.

I’d love some help.  I can tell you what I did.  Roku TV, wired, worked a week ago. Now week later.  Channels not working. Error 14. Did software update that took 30 minutes so Internet working (every other device on network OK).  Did restart.  Still no luck.  Did factory reset.  Enter email to activate, comes back “we can’t seem to reach you by email”.  Tried resets, wired, WiFi, a second email addy, verified email address by logging in to Roku.  Tried all this on a Roku Stick with the same problem and same outcome. Still no activation.  2 bricked Rokus.

This right here. A Roku software update taking 30 minutes indicates a problem. Whether it's something network related, I don't know.

You say you have your Roku connected via Ethernet. That probably means you are using an Ethernet adapter. Unplug that and try connecting via WiFi and see if that makes a difference.

I don't know that it will make a difference, but 30 minutes for a software update isn't right. So, let's change the parameters and used wireless and see what happens.

Thanks DB. Earlier today I tried WiFi on both the stick and the Roku TV.  Also reset fiber ONT and WiFi router. 

Really not much else I can do. Any thoughts appreciated.
