Hello! @McMuffun, @bootsfields,

Thank you for posting in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you contacting us about your TV being stuck in recovery mode. We understand how important this can be and are here to help you resolve it.

If you already tried other reset methods and your device is still not working, follow the steps below to use Recovery Mode.

1. Locate the Reset button on the back of your streaming device
2. Press and hold the reset button for at least 20 seconds
3. If your device has a reset pinhole, use a straightened paperclip (or similar)
4. After a moment, your device will restart and display the Recovery Mode screen
5. Use your remote to select your preferred language and then press OK 
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the internet
7. Once connected, select Update now
8. Your device will restart after downloading and reinstalling the operating system.

After your device restarts, you may be prompted to complete Guided Setup.

 If you have a Roku TV system made by a company other than Roku and it continues to be unresponsive after using Recovery Mode, contact the TV manufacturer for help.

For further instructions, please refer to How to use Recovery Mode on your Roku streaming device.

Thanks,
Arjiemar

The TV went into Recovery mode and I am stuck in a loop. I tried the restart suggestions and nothing works. At first it wouldn't uodate but a reset would restart it back to the red screen. Now it will update but after restarting it takes me back to Recovery mode.

How do we undo TV updates then? (Since mine and probably everyone else's is doing this.) 55s401

My tv is doing the same thing. I’ve updated it and reset it.  Still goes back to same screen

Same thing here, just happened today, maybe it's a bad software update from the manufacturer, hopefully they'll fix it !!!!

Update: The issue is fixed for me, I tried many times the reset button, randomly kept the button pushed for couple seconds then pushed it shortly many times and voila, the tv turned on.
