Jump to solution

Hi Community users,

Thanks for posting regarding your Roku device powering up in Recovery Mode after updating to the latest OS 12.0.

We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more details. Can you please provide us the following information:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
  • steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing 

Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further. We look forward to hearing back from you to help resolve this issue.


Thanks,
Danny

I posted the requested information and my message was immediately deleted.  Trying a test msg before I type all that in again.

@RokuDanny-R  Did you get my previous message with the info requested before it was deleted?  That's happened twice now. 😠

It was posted; I saw it.  Somebody quickly deleted it.  (twice)  Probably some kind of automated moderation that decided there was personal information in there (the serial number.)  I will not post it here a third time.  If you PM me an email address I will send it to you that way.

They want me to send them mine so they can see for themselves what is going on with it and find a fix for it

@RokuDanny-R I received an email today from Roku regarding the info I sent it; they say my device is obviously defective, and even though it is out of warranty they will replace it anyway just this once.  I'm supposed to send it in for replacement.  And they closed the ticket.  

Since they closed the ticket, that means nobody is investigating anything, right?  I'm not sending in the device because I assume I'd never see it again nor a replacement unit.

@RokuDanny-R

I received an email. They mentioned the device possibly being defective and offered to replace it (one time deal since it's out of warranty). However, they pushed through another device update last week and since then it has been working correctly. Thank you.
