How to fix recover mode and Siri popping up every time?

The Apple TV is stuck in recovery mode. It's showing I should bring iPhone near but I don't have it nor iPad. Please fix my Apple 4K TV. Before recover mode, when I restart the device several times and logging to the profile, Siri was popping every time. I couldn't press back or home Button to stop it, even the Siri button.

This is a user forum, you are not speaking with Apple here. When it shows that only an iPhone can be used to restore the device. Otherwise you would probably need to bring it in to an Apple Store. You could always try contacting Apple support though in case they have anything else to try.


If your TV shows an iPhone next to an Apple TV - Apple Support (CA)
