If everyone else is like me we did all of these suggestions, of course they don't help. I was finally able to activate by using my phone's hotspot for wifi instead. I'm using a Google Nest router and I'm wondering if that's the issue or maybe Roku finally figured out they have a problem.
Anyway, maybe try that and see if it works for you. After activation I switched back to my regular wifi and everything is working.
I have tried over and over to request a account activation link to my email for my tv. I am able to get into my phone but not my TV. Please help me. I have checked my spam folder and its not there.
Where do you type in the email address? There is no keyboard on screen and nothing else will connect with this part of Roku.
Hi Sandy,
I had to push OK (that I would type in my Email) on the RuKu remote. Only then did a keyboard appear on the TV. Make sure you have established an online account with RuKu first, in order for your (TV) typed in email, to connect to an existing account. I hope this helps. I had the same problem. I am only a 2 week old user.

Hey Danny,
I am having the same issue. I didn't receive any activation email. Its been more than an hour now. My TV screen is stuck at "set display type" . Can't go back.
Thanks.
Did you try using another wireless network? I ended up using my phone Hotspot.
I just had the same issue. This is the second roku streaming stick in my house. Got to the point of entering the email associated with my account, but I do not receive an email with the activation code. I have confirmed the right email was entered and I did a reset on the device and still nothing. I even tried entering a different email and nothing. Is the system down and not sending emails?
Yes, I tried that also. 🙁
@Elkueto you have to go past setting display type to get to email input screen
No activation code. No number to enter on tv. Keep following the same directions and keep getting the same results. How do I activate my ROKU TV?
