Your phone doesn’t affect this issue.

A continuously flashing status light on the Apple TV box means that this unit failed to start up properly. First try a cold restart (temporarily disconnect from power). If that doesn’t remedy this, then the system software may need to be re-installed. How that is done depends on the exact model Apple TV box that you have. For the 4K models, you will need to contact Apple for assistance. For the prior models, users can connect a computer through USB to restore the system software externally.
