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!

Software Version 05.00.04

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:.

      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV.  We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.

      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?

      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!!!

      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.
