Just for your amusement this is an example of the level of control I have on ALL LG TVs: the menus you see are custom made.

I've just downgraded as well luckily I left the LG updater file on the PC. Just a shame I liked the speed of the new firmware and I was hoping the issues would have been solved, I use the simplink for Raspberry Pi control.

Until the next update if any. Maybe if we all contact LG they may listen, we can but hope.

Cheers Jon

Would/could a kind person please supply me/us with the instructions on how to downgrade. Have tried various links to russian forums but seems very complicated. It would be great if someone who has gone from 5.10.02 to version 4.xx.xx could provide a step by step guide. i am quite confident with pc's

Many thanks in advance for the kind soul who takes on this for me.

ps i am sure others would love a simple guide also.

Let me see... It looks simple but that was not how I did it, Your way is to downgrade to original firmware 03.23.13 and .epk is located on

link hidden, please login to view
. I had to manually check the update to get file "in_dump" to clarify TV model, later copy and edit empty file for tv model and .epk file location and set force flag to Y to force downgrade. Finally when that was all done the TV accepted the version of .epk I copied. Your way is easier but probably people are having trouble finding the correct file for their TV model, that is why the update is not detected.

Why do you have edited your post... Please, do not write stupidity, it's not true what you said. You don't know, guessing and doing unnecessary confusion. First test it on your TV then talk about it.  :huh:

 

Read with understanding. My way is to downgrade to the first firmware TV [#11] not to 03.23.13. People do not have to look any firmware - they can do it if they need to install custom firmware like beta or official from LG support site. If not, after Restart TV [#12]  they can just use Check For Updates option to upgrade firmware by OTA as David Isom did it. Update was not detected because in Updater lacked support for higher TV models and I had to update it. I wrote to you about it, but you come back to this topic to edit your post... And finally and above all - We're here to help each other, not to do confusion and destroy work of other. Don't do it anymore and Stay in Peace.

I have an LG 49UB850V.I had the same update today (5.00.04)and i was happy with it, but after some use the OS restarted itself 2-3 times in 2 hours.After more usage i had these problems: could not change the program after ca 1 hour of watching, no infobar popped, and the "P" switch on the MR500 was also not responding, switched to HDMI 1, but could not switch back to TV, menu was slow as hell, if it worked sometimes. I found the downgrade tutorial, and that helped me(thanx SIMON)and now i'm back at 4.55.55. It's a shame LG put an update like these OTA, do they not test these OS-s before release? I mean i can live with some minor bugs, but a TV that don't change chanels and restarting because of low memory...thats a no-go. An ex-customer

It would be interesting  to know the connections and settings people are using who are having memory reboots . ie simplink ARC , HBB TV,wireless , Then others who don't have these problems might be able to compare and help . Also are people resetting after update ?

LG47LB670V

 

Updated to 5.00.04 from 04.65.05 via Android app.

Region: Macedonia.

 

It's not faster.

Streaming from my phone gave "needs to close to free some memory" at every 3-rd video clip.

I couldn't even stream a low deffinition video of 300Mb from my PC, it restarts after 30 seconds. Previosely it was closing only on big size movies, above 5Gb.

 

Shame on you LG

Yes, I've done factory reset even twice because what I was experiencing was bulls$%t.

What do you use for streaming videos?

I use Servioo.

(Sometimes Plex, but it has subtitles issue)

Can you watch a complete full HD movie in size of 6-9Gb?

      PBS and WebOs
      By neverending
      I used to be able to surf to OPB.org using WebOs on my LG Smart TV and watch the Livestream with no problem. But about a year ago something changed and the Livestream became covered up by the programming grid (with a little bit showing above the grid) and nothing I can do removes it. Is there a way to watch PBS on my LG Smart TV?

      Airtel Xtream Play to be added in WebOS
      By kp bose
      Please take steps to include Airtel Xtream Play app in WebOS Content Store!
      In India everyone is using Airtel network and Xtream Play as a bundle recharge offer with it!
      LG TV is very good and technically advanced! For this mere reason of not having Airtel Xtream Play App, We Customers, need to switch over to other brands!
      So, it is mandatory and timely, for LG to make Xtream Play available in WebOS TV, otherwise you have to loose your trusted Customers like us!
         Please think twice and Consider!!!

      Installing an older version of WebOS
      By Steve D B
      Hi, my LG webOS TV TN520S is running  software version 05.45.45 and since then the channel 4 and channel 5 apps are broken. You can start to watch a program but as soon as the first set of adverts start, the app just loops and you cant progress past the adverts. I a wondering if this is because the TV is running the latest version of its software (I've searched for newer versions but none are shown). Has anyone else had this problem and is it possible to install a previous version of the TV's software to see if this resolves the problem.

      LG Announces Winners of 2024 webOS Hackathon
      By News Reporter
      Winners Showcase Family-Friendly Gaming Innovations and
      Address the Growing Interest in AI Technologies at LG webOS Summit
        
      SEOUL, Oct. 1, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) announced the winners of its webOS TV platform hackathon, which took place at the LG webOS Summit last week. The event was geared toward AI-based solutions and gaming services, and sought ideas to enhance the gaming category on the Smart TV.
      Developers from around the world applied for the opportunity to present their ideas for apps or services to be used on webOS-based LG Smart TVs in millions of homes, with the goal of diversifying and improving the gaming experience on the LG TVs powered by webOS.
      Over three hundred entries were submitted from more than 50 countries. Finalists were invited to present their ideas onstage to a panel of LG executives and over 300 market-leading companies. The top three winners received a meaningful opportunity to engage with the LG team to develop their ideas and resources for business implementation on webOS. They will continue to work with the LG team to prepare the family-friendly gaming solutions for LG TVs by June 2025. Cash prizes were awarded to the top three winners of the hackathon, with the Grand Prize of USD 100,000 for first place, USD 80,000 for second place and USD 50,000 for third place.
      Grand Prize Winner: The Quest of Sunflower by Couchplay
      An epic adventure game based on an AI-generated story, featuring stunning graphics, immersive audio and responsive game play suitable for the whole family.
      Second place: Signs of Magic by Lukas Klingsbo
      Set in a magical world, this game follows the wizard Elowen as she battles invading creatures known as Astromentals. It integrates LG Magic Remote sensors to create an immersive experience that brings the action to life.
      Third place: Thormdeil: Into the Unknown by TV Games
      The first single-player RPG developed exclusively for a Smart TV platform, featuring seasonally AI-generated content. Players navigate dark dungeons, face survival challenges and uncover hidden truths.
      “The amount of participation and entries we received this year is proof of the growing interest in the AI and gaming categories,” said Chris Jo, senior vice president of platform business at LG Home Entertainment Company. “We’re no longer simply watching television. The developer ecosystem’s role in improving the lives of millions of consumers in their homes is exponential, and LG plans to hold this event annually to foster webOS app developer ecosystem.”
