Re: OS 10.5 Update stuck on screen announcing OS 10.5

Yup, 1 Roku TV and 2 4670x devices got the update today and dead in the water. Some apps open but I can't view any content.

Disaster...

Same here. Can’t exit the New Features Screen with my Roku 4200x… I can’t access any of my channels to stream… so frigging frustrating!

DO SOMETHING ROKU!!!

Re: introducing Roku OS 10.5 screen frozen and won't respond to remote control

I'm having the same problem with my TCL Roku TV since the update.  Unfortunately I don't have a Roku box to reboot.  In the meantime, my Android Phone works.  I tried "forgetting" and re-pairing one of my two remotes and it won't re-pair.  My other remote is still paired and sometimes will work with multiple button presses.

It seems like this is a bug in release 10.5 and hopefully they will fix it.

Voila!  I went through a re-start function on my TCL Roku TV and both remotes are now working.  I hope this helps someone else.

Same thing happened to me tonight. I tried disconnecting the Roku device, removing and reinstalling the batteries, nothing worked. Then I sort of jiggled the Roku device without actually removing it and we're back.

I was puzzled by this, since I hadn't touched the TV when this happened. But now I recall it has happened before. Maybe I need to give some slack to the Roku cable. Could be it's being slowly pulled out of its port.

@soflakate

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, did not work for me but glad it solved your issue.

I gave up and got a new remote. It worked like a charm first time I put batteries in. Frustrated that I could not make the old one work, but I had wasted altogether too much time trying to get it to function.

Has anyone actually been able to contact Roku or heard from them regarding the issue? i suspect it is a problem with older hardware and they did not do a good job making the new OS 10.5 compatible with older units.

Same problem.  Nothing to do but reboot the device.  I hope Roku fixes this!

Same here. Knowledgeable son-in-law advised trying to re-boot; then re-pair remote; neither worked. Then he advised getting Roku Mobile app on my i-phone and that worked, i-phone becomes the Roku remote

Dear Roku,

Frozen and unresponsive version note videos and screens? Power cycling? Reboot multiple times? This is ridiculous.

Next time there is an update, please leave me OUT!
