Hi! I suggest you get the first released firmware with the CX 48, if you can't find it get the 2nd one, and format the usb stick to NTFS or if you did that and it did not work try fat32 format has the engineering firmware migth use that format who knows give it a try and do your downgrade, and if for some reason it still not working try to use a smartphone has a usb stick because it got a battery on his own and because of your engineering firmware that could mess up the power of the usb port, just dropped your LG_DTV folder to internal storage, and plug in the usb port of the tv with the data transfer usb cable original, and do your downgrade. Pray for any of this to work, I tried to help you but i do not know what you see on the tv and what really causing you not been able to update or change the firmware, you did not put any picture of what you have on the screen, and if the remote is not working try to use the physical buttons on the tv to get to what you want, if you got the tv wired with network cable to an internet box you migth try to use an android app has smartfy lg remote tv and connect your phone to your home network trought wifi it migth work that way, good luck and say if you got lucky

Get your CX 48 TV firmware from this link: 

link hidden, please login to view
 

just change the /uk/ in the link to your country initials by exemple /es/ for spain or /fr/ for france

once there set your exact model number like by exemple  this one from uk is OLED48CX5LC or the 2nd is OLED48CX6LB,  yours is different so check your model number at the back of your tv

Then scroll down to software section and get the only firmware that should be available depending on your country, in uk its Software_File(Version_03.21.18).zip

Download the one for your country tv if exist

And unzip it check in the unzipped folder 📂 if there is any useless file has a readme.txt file if there is remove it and let solely the software file update and rename the folder to LG_DTV and past that folder to a usb stick formated to NTFS plug in your CX usb port chose one in the back of your Tv, you migth get a message prompt that saied " update firmware detected 03.21.18 is older the your actual software 03.33.02 we can't update" something like that or maybe it might do the update because its an engineering firmware, who knows ? I don't 

But get the Android or Apple application Smartify lg tv remote from kraftwerk 9 inc, download the app on your phone and connect your phone to your home network through wifi and connect the tv to home network with the network cable linked to the internet box, then connect the downloaded remote app to tv then scroll down near the bottom to find the "software update" option. It' ll trigger the advanced software update menu. Browse with your normal LG remote to the firmware location that's on your usb drive. Select the firmware and proceed to the downgrade or to the update has you want to call this.

If you succeed then come back and say you were lucky. Good luck hope this work

Hi! I'd like to know something did you plug the USB drive with the LG_DTV folder containing the software file on the CX usb port ? And what did you see ? What happened ? 

And did you use the smartify lg tv remote at that time ?

And did you click on the apps button inside the smartify lg tv remote, scroll down and see if there is a "software update" option ?

And if there is just hit the button !

But they migth have removed it, but it migth be also that the option appears only when the tv detect a firmware ?

Did you use an Android phone  or an Apple ios Iphone ? Simple curiosity. 

Could you please answer me today ?

Hi! You can use the "sure app" if you are on Android and once downloaded to your smartphone activate the location option on your smartphone and  connect it to the home network where the CX  tv is connected, open the "sure app" and hit add new device, select TV, select LG, then pairs with the CX by inputting in the "sure app" the code that appears on TV and confirm.  Restart the process of unzipping the software update file.zip, go to the unzipped folder, copy the only file in that folder with the " .bin" extension, past it in a folder name LG_DTV  that you have created in the root of your usb drive, if you want you can rename that usb drive "UPDATE" I do not think its necessary but give it a try, then plug the USB drive in the usb port on the back of your Tv, then go to the "sure app" hit "LG TV" then hit the checkered square in third position from the right, and scroll down to the bottom end, you will see the "software update" option, hit the "software update" option, and finish with your original Lg tv remote, browse to the file location on your usb drive and proceed to the downgrade or update, if all works the tv will reboot or it migth ask you to restart the tv once you confirm, then turn off if asked, wait 5 min then start the TV and let it set the web os, then agree to the user agreement and set your tv, enjoy and come back to say that your are lucky ?

NB: I tried the "software update" option on my tv nothing happened, but I had no usb drive with firmware plug to the tv, so I think it's normal behavior has it migth  only works when a firmware file is detected by the TV. 

Please try this now and come back to explain what happened it may be useful for base knowledge.

      This piece is about the problem of not obtaining DISNEY + streaming content at 4K on older LG 4K TV’s  despite specifications showing they should.  Examples include the LG Oled 55e6v or 65g6v. The piece may help other brands experiencing problems and applies to the LG webOS 3.0 Disney app but also applies to a number of android streaming devices if resolution is set to auto. This piece also provides a great tip on how to get 4K Dolby vision streamed content from Apple + and Disney + on 2106 LG Oled TV’s,
      Firstly Disney plus will not stream 4k/uhd content unless your TV is 4k and HDR capable there is no workaround regardless of streaming device. if HDR is turned off then Disney plus only shows HD content as being available. For LG Oled TV’s which do NOT support 2160 / 4K with Dolby Vision at 60HZ, the DISNEY PLUS apps will show 4k content as available BUT actually stream  at 1080p , the set  appears to fail a 2160 Dolby Vision 60hz test.  The LG webOS 3.0  Disney plus app is guilty of this flaw/bug on 55/65 C6 E6 G6 , namely showing 4k content available but only streaming 1080p regardless of connection speed. ( don’t  believe me then press info button and check). I believe the problem is because older (2016 and earlier ) LG Oled TV’s c6 e6 and g6 support HDR10 at 2160 60HZ but only support Dolby vision up to 2160 30HZ. . This difference confuses the Disney plus app which reduces 4K content to Dolby vision at 1080p rather than HDR at 4k but still shows 4k as available. Disney plus claim app supports both HDR and Dolby vision. On streaming devices (not web os)  this confusion also results in HDR having to be turned off in order to get 4K content showing as available via Netflix app. If a TV is not HDR capable most  apps will stream 4K without HDR (except Disney plus) . If a TV (like 2016 LG Oled),  does not support Dolby vision at 60hz  other apps switch to HDR at 4K/UHD .
      The solution / fix arises from the fact that despite the Disney streaming app checking for HDR10/Dolby vision capability up to a resolution of 2160@60hz  it appears to be streaming all content  at 24hz and then upscaling.  I have found that if the streaming device output resolution is set to fixed rather than auto, e.g 2160@24HZ , 25HZ or 30hz  then the app delivers 4k content with Dolby vision . The fixed resolution appears to bypass the problems arising from higher frame rate hdr test. This  fix also works for Apple TV+ where uhd can be forced to stream at 4K with Dolby vision rather than HDR.  In order to use this fix you will need a 4K streaming device which allows resolution and hdr to be manually set. I use an Amazon Firestick 4K max (nb: the resolution option for 2160 25HZ or 30HZ  has to be accessed via hidden menu (select button up and rewind button held simultaneously for 5 seconds.) Fixing resolution above 2160@30hz also works  but will provide Disney + at 4K with HDR but NOT Dolby vision, same for Apple TV+.  For Netflix this appears not to work, and  the app will show 4k content as not available when in auto resolution unless  HDR is set to off however diagnostics show Netflix in fact displaying 2160 with HDR if a fixed resolution of 2160@60HZ is chosen (server delivering 2160@24hz at bitrate between approx 15000 to 20000 and  then upscaling.  Ironic that the bugs cause Disney plus app to show 4k as available when it streaming 1080p and Netflix showing only HD available when streaming at 4K! Please note Netflx 4K HDR requires  60HZ resolution to be set and will not play 4k at a lower resolution!   Detailed diagnostics can be displayed by accessing Firestick hidden developer tools menu.
       
      My recommendation for all LG Oled 55/65 C6,E6 and G6 users where using Firestick 4K max  is to set resolution to fixed 2160@60hz for all apps or 2160@30Hz (not for Netflix) if Dolby vision preferred over HDR10 or if you are seeing judderat 60HZ  in fast moving shots. Using an Amazon Firestick  4K max I have been able to get my LG Oled 65e6v to play Prime Viideo , Disney plus and Apple TV + content at 4K UHD with Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos ( using HD Arcana fury and Atmos soundbar).

      Edit: well, had to reset defaults, fixed after that. 
      Hello. in recent days I've updated my LG OLED65CXRLA to 03.23.35 firmware, after that HDR won't work at all.
      I own this tv since February, and never had any issues with it, and for the first time I've encountered problem and serious one at that,
      Before said update HDR worked without any issues from any source - PC, PS4/Xbox, TV's apps like YouTube and Plex. After update HDR doesn't work from any of said source. 
      How it happens: when I launch any HDR content, tv blicks, in upper right corner appears HDR notice, but picture becomes very dark. It's the same as if for example you try to run any YouTube's HDR clip on display without HDR support.
