Thank you SIMON, you saved my 49UB850V, i used your tut to downgrade from 5.00.04, and worked like a charme

 

Nice to know that it works for others, though regretting that not for everyone will. 

Maybe next update will be better for your TV. Meanwhile, thank you for your opinion and I wish you to make it happen.  ;)

Hi Simon.

LG New Zealand put an online update to 05.00.04 for my 84UB980-TA but it was a mistake according to them and now the EPG is not working. I tried your method but after accepting the update nothing happened. Could you please add the **UB980 series to the list so I can roll back to 04.62.50.

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately this method is not working for me either. I'm getting tons of "Out of memory" errors and everything is crashing after my TV did an auto update to 05.00.04. Can 70LB7100-UC model get added to this tool? Below is the infor from my TV. Appreciate the hard work!

I tried everything to downgrade, and still doesn't work. I have the LB6500, the brazilian equivalent to US LB6300. I tried the updater from Russian and Brazilian foruns, tried to edit the files myself, I have downloaded the last working firmware (04.65.05), but it never finds the update on the TV.

 

Is it normal to the startHTTP to close after 30s? I'm getting this error:

I'm also getting  lgtvonline.lge.com  +  BR.lgtvsdp.com  + BR.info.lgsmartad.com from the from the startDNS, which I added to the AcrylicHosts.

 

 

I can use my TV with all the memory error since 05.00.04 update. :(

 

UPDATE: nevermind, I'm really really stupid! I was extracting the files to the desktop. I never thought it had to be on C:.

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      all channels and transponders are getting deleated by simply exporting and importing the channellist (LG OLED G2 newest firmware)
      By SailorMoon
      Hello,
      I have a problem with my new LG OLED G2 newest version 4 firmware.
      I tried sorting my satellite channels with chansort programm from github, because sorting them with the tv remote is a pain.
      When I try to sort them with the remote and have selected about 10 or more channels all the selected channels get suddenly getting deselected, so I can only select up to 10 at a time  to 
      sort them -> must be some kind of firmwarebug? 
      After exporting the channellist to a usb stick then editing it with chansort an importing it back into the tv all my channels are gone, all transponderns are deleted.
      First I thought it was a charsort problem but all channels and transponders get also deleted when I simply export them to a usb drive an import them back, without editing the file at all.
      Does someone know how to fix this problem? 
      And yes I´ve done multiple factory resets -> did not fix any of this behaviour.
      I also discoverd another bug the deletes all channels, because I needed to reboot the tv I searched for a reboot option in the tvs menu, but there is no reboot option.
      To do a full reboot (except from forcing it through cutting the tvs power) you can deselect the privicy agreements, after that the tv reboots, but then all channels are gone too.

      Feature Request: Boot LG WebOS TV Directly to Home Screen Instead of Wallpaper
      By tomatowarden
      Hey everyone, I've been using my LG WebOS TV for some time now, and there's a small but impactful change I'd love to see. Currently, when the TV is turned on without an HDMI input, it defaults to displaying a wallpaper. It's not aesthetically pleasing, it's a bit of an inconvenience for users like me who primarily use the TV's smart features.My suggestion is to include an option that allows the TV to boot directly into the Home screen, displaying all the available apps and streaming options right away. This would streamline the user experience, making it faster and easier to access the services we use most.Would love to hear the community's thoughts on this. Cheers!
