Smart remote constantly disconnects. I’ve pushed home and back button and when trying to setup remote receive error message “Bluetooth service needs to be inialized”
Ive tried everything suggested on the internet to include turning off tv waiting 15,30,60 seconds and trying again. Eventually it will reset up but then will will disconnect. Extremely frustrating and tv is really unusable when this happens. The worst is getting into a streaming app and the remote fails and can’t get out without turning tv off. I would list tv model # but since I started this message remote has disconnected again. Help very much appreciated 
thx

I have problems with one of my WebOS TVs which looks like a speed problem, but when I do a speed check on my iPhone from just a few feet away the connection speed looks fine.  Thanks,  Bob

Hello.
 
Some tutorials explain how to do it. 
We first need to root the TV with scripts such as RootMyTV, and then install dts_restore. 
Both tools are free and available at github.  
I'm not writing the links because I don't know if it's allowed in this forum and because I take no responsibility. 
 
My question is:
Has anybody tried this process? Does it work? 
The documentation says if you have any problem you can just factory reset the TV, but I don't dare to do it.
