Re: Roku Streaming Stick 3800X Stuck at Checking for new software

Jump to solution

Sadly, Roku doesn't have a solution for this problem which is impacting multiple customers.  It looks like their software team didn't provide a path for upgrading these devices.  The only thing Roku support will do for you is offer a discount on a new Roku device.  It's sad that they don't stand behind their product and fix this issue that is impacting multiple customers.

Here is some data I pulled from WireShark.  I have the full logs if support is interested.  After the TLS handshake, I can't see anything anymore since it is all encrypted.

@RokuNimfa-C 

I've done a factory reset and followed all your instructions to no avail, so ultimately my device is now unusable as it won't go past the checking for software update stage. Are Roku going to replace the device since the resolution instructions have effectively bricked the device?

I am currently having the same issue as listed in the beginning of this thread. 🙃 it's certainly NOT my internet, wifi, or any other connectivity issue. It is very clearly a faulty software update path issue, either that or planned obsolescence. I honestly don't really give a **bleep** if my device gets replaced, I just wish you people over at Roku would have mentioned something about the necessity of updating software frequently. As it stands I've factory reset my Roku device because I figured that would help the issue of it not updating, now it is bricked and can not get past the initial setup. There MUST be a fix for this somehow. Please advise.
