Have not gotten activation link

Jump to solution

I’ve tried multiple times over the past 2 hours, entering my email to get the activation link, and have yet to receive it. My email is a simple gmail account with no special characters. I’ve checked the spam/junk folder as well as entering in another account (a hotmail account), and none of it works. I’ve also looked into the spam account in the hotmail account. I’m at a loss at this point. Is there a way to contact roku through email?

Thanks for the post.

Have you tried searching for "activate" in your email to see if you are able to locate the activation email?

If you are still unable to resolve the issue, please provide us with the serial number/device ID of your Roku device (printed on the side/back of the device) and I'll have our support team reach out directly to assist you further.


Thanks,
Danny

Your best bet is to work with someone like @RokuDanny-R , @RokuMary-F , or @RokuKariza-D to get this resolved. They'll likely reach out from these forums.

Thank you for the response. I tried searching for “activate”, and it wasn’t there. It won’t let me PM you so the the serial number is:

Hi @electraguard

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community.

We would recommend performing a factory reset on the affected device then try linking your Roku account once again.

Performing a factory reset using the hardware reset button

  1. On the back or bottom of each Roku device is a reset button. On some devices, there is a tactile button, while other devices have a pinhole button. 
  2. If your device has a pinhole button, you will need a paperclip to perform the factory reset.
  3. Once the reset button is located and your Roku device is powered on, press and hold the reset button firmly for about 10 seconds. The indicator light or status LED will blink rapidly on most Roku devices when the factory reset is complete.

For more information, check out this Support article: How to system restart or factory reset your Roku® streaming device

Let us know how it goes!


All the best,
Kariza

Model 3940X

Express 4K

 

I have tried for hours now. Just spent $35 on this and NOTHING WORKS. It will not send an activation email at all. 

I reset with the button and with the remote multiple times.

I used a hotspot.

I used my wifi.

I used my email address and my daughter's.

I have restarted multiple times. 

 

Nothing has worked.
