Q: tvOS 10 OTA Update Failed on Apple TV 4 - Lights Blinking Now
I was in the middle of watching a show last night on my Apple TV 4th Gen when the screen went dark and the lights on the front started blinking slowly, it lasted like that for about 5 mins and then the light went to rapidly blinking for about 15 mins. I finally went to bed thinking that it was updating to the new tvOS 10 that was released yesterday. I woke up this morning and the lights are still rapidly blinking. I did a restart on the controller and it came up blinking again.
Brought it into work this morning and tried to do a restore and got the error "Apple TV" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4005).
I've heard of the iOS 10 update screwing up some iPhones, however I haven't heard of anything with the Apple TV's. I'm going to try to restore again with the tvOS 10 update and see if that takes, if not off to the Genius Bar for them to give me another one. Very annoying!!
