Re: Error 003 - Can't update software
@RokuRhea-V ➜ I have an older Roku device, it's a Sharp Roku TV that was basically brand new when I purchased it privately off of Facebook Marketplace back in 2021 (exact purchase date unknown).
So to explain, my wifi went down on Wednesday for about 15/20 minutes, and while my laptop, iPad and mobile phone had reconnected right away, my TV still has not...I have tried to connect it to the internet and update the software in my home but I keep getting "SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED - The software update server could not be reached. There may be a problem with your network..Error code 003. There is nothing wrong with my network. I have tried resetting EVERYTHING, even did a complete reset by holding down the little reset button.
Fast forward to today still when I run setup on the TV, the wireless network, local network, and internet connection, it connects fine and then immediately goes to check for a software update and no luck, still get the same error code: 003. I tried to do the manual update for the TV via USB, but it just says that the software is older than the already installed software?? so now that I can't even do that I am beyond frustrated. I cannot afford to get a new TV.. This is the FIRST time in the 5-ish years that my TV has done this...
Is there any way a Roku employee can fix the issue from their end and push through the software update on my TV other than tossing my TV into the trash?
I have listed below all the info in the "about" section of my Sharp | Roku TV below:
- Model: LC-43LBU711C
- Hardware ID: 7223X
- Serial #: YN00LJ375268
- Device ID: JVD05L375268
- Current Software Version: 14.1
I hope this information helps. Thank you in advance.
