Wi-Fi & connectivity

3800X refuses to update to 13.1.4.1512 from 13.0.0.24056, gives error while download is at 85% every time with update error 004, tested on home network with xfinity, at work and Verizon hotspot on my phone and get same results.  When it errors out I press Ok and am just left with a background.  Tried steps at https://community.roku.com/t5/Wi-Fi-connectivity/Update-error-004-over-and-over/td-p/914263 reboots, changing the update server method, factory defaults, recovery mode, nothing works.

I have another hisense roku tv that works fine over the same wired and wireless network at home so what gives?

That didn't work.

Model : 3930EU - Roku Express
Serial Number X004002D6KR0 (S01V314D6KR0)
Software Version: 1.5.0 build 4178-AE

Issue ID : R0-317-510  or R0-317-516

ISP: Jersey Telecom
Router: PFSense

I've got 1 identical device that has updated fine (same wifi network/router/ISP) - although that was in constant use, and another device (above), which was inactive since about Nov last year that is now always getting a 004 error when trying to update, I factory reset it, and now cannot do anything with it.

Have tried multiple wifi networks and also hotspotting from phones, all seem to give the same error.  Doing a packet capture on the network seems to show no traffic from the device when you click on the OK to do update, it counts 1%, 2% then error 004. From the packet capture - it connects to 54.172.82.240 whilst checking if there is an update, and then when it's said there is one - it goes no further.
So without adding a reverse https proxy in to see what is in the packets I can't diagnose this any further.

Regards 

Mack.

Indeed RokuTakashi , as the devices (in my case) is effectively bricked and un-usable.

 RokuTakashi  is this helpful putting it into an old thread?
Or is it a systemic problem, and a reason why we shouldn't buy ROKU ???
Device I have is now heading to the local tip.
