Re: Time to warn others about problems with Roku Update & how it bricks TVs and streaming boxes

After hitting the physical reset button several times, it looks like I’ve been able to get the “What’s new” menu to finally disappear.

Re: Time to warn others about problems with Roku Update & how it bricks TVs and streaming boxes

It's better to work with the technicians from Roku than ftom someone who is not an employee of the company. Ok you get a rollback from some unknown entity who is not an employee of Roku, ever consider the legalities of the issue? This is proprietary material that is owned by Roku. As I said the agent I spoke to said there is no rollback to 10.0. If you have an iPhone, for example,  the same dilemma is there, no rollback to earlier software. This is Roku's problem. They are acutely aware of it. Let them solve it. In the mean time use your Firestick, Chromecast or whatever else works properly.

@OldClone85 no one is getting a rollback from anyone but Roku. There's nothing I can do, nor any other non-Roku employee. Since Roku doesn't offer phone support, I question who you might have talked to. I have heard of Roku reaching out to users, but only via email, not phone. And yes, they can offer a rollback, as others have mentioned. But they have to perform it manually to specific devices. And that can only be done by Roku.

Send a private message to @RokuDanny-R with your device model and serial number. You send a PM by clicking their name, then clicking View profile. On their profile page is a button to send a PM.
