Hello there!
Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
Thanks!

Strong Performance in Key and Future-Oriented Businesses Drives Q3 Results
Above Market Expectations
SEOUL, Oct. 13, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced its preliminary earnings results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting consolidated revenue of KRW 21.88 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 688.9 billion.
Despite external headwinds, including escalating U.S. tariffs, both figures surpassed market expectations. Revenue marked the second-highest ever for a third quarter, while operating profit exceeded recent market forecasts by more than 10 percent. Profitability declined year-on-year due to several non-recurring factors, including higher tariff burdens under changing trade conditions.
Nevertheless, LG successfully offset market concerns and exceeded expectations, driven by solid performances across key and future-oriented businesses. The home appliance solutions business maintained strong competitiveness and market leadership, while the vehicle solutions business achieved record-high profitability.
LG continues to reinforce its business fundamentals through a focus on qualitative growth – emphasizing B2B operations such as vehicle solutions and HVAC, expanding non-hardware platforms including appliance subscriptions and webOS, and strengthening its online business. In particular, the IPO of LG Electronics India Limited is expected to provide significant funding to accelerate business structure improvements and future growth initiatives.
The home appliance solutions business continued to face challenges from tariff pressures on U.S. exports and a delayed recovery in global demand. Despite these conditions, it sustained leadership in the premium segment and maintained stable performance in the mass market. These results were supported by optimized production operations, efficient resource allocation to mitigate tariff effects and steady growth in subscription-based appliance services.
The media and entertainment solutions business faced higher marketing costs as competition intensified in the global TV market. Moving forward, LG plans to enhance the competitiveness of the webOS platform to diversify its profit structure – focusing on advancing its advertising business and expanding content offerings. The company also plans to accelerate growth in the Global South, where TV demand remains relatively stable.
The vehicle solutions business is expected to have achieved record-breaking profitability in the third quarter, driven primarily by the strong performance of premium in-vehicle infotainment systems, which contributed to improved margins. The business is also broadening its portfolio beyond hardware to include vehicle content platforms, with continued growth expected based on a robust order backlog and improving operational efficiency across lighting and EV powertrain units.
In the eco solutions business, LG is actively expanding its footprint in future-oriented markets such as commercial HVAC systems and industrial and power plant chillers. The company has recently secured a series of large-scale projects – including AI data center cooling solutions – across North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. As these projects progress, LG aims to leverage them as key references to further reinforce its long-term growth potential. In parallel, the company is preparing for the commercialization of liquid cooling solutions for data centers, a next-generation technology poised to become a major driver of future expansion.
These figures are tentative consolidated earnings based on K-IFRS provided as a service to investors prior to LG Electronics’ final earnings results, including net profit. Details regarding each division will be announced officially later this month.

Company Plans to Focus on Reinforcing its Business Fundamentals by
Prioritizing Areas of Qualitative Growth
SEOUL, July 7, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced its preliminary earnings results for the second-quarter of 2025, reporting a consolidated revenue of KRW 20.74 trillion and operating profit of KRW 639.1 billion.
Both revenue and operating profit declined year-over-year. The slowdown reflects continued weakness in consumer sentiment across major markets and an increasingly challenging external environment. In particular, changes in U.S. trade policy led to higher tariff costs and intensified market competition, further weighing on performance.
Despite an unfavorable business environment, LG’s core businesses—including Home Appliances Solutions, as well as B2B-driven segments such as Vehicle Solutions and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)—delivered solid performance and maintained sound profitability. However, the media and entertainment solutions business faced a challenging quarter due to slowdown in demand, higher LCD panel prices and increased marketing expenses amid intensifying competition. Profitability was also affected by increased costs, including U.S. general tariffs, steel and aluminum derivative tariffs, and logistics expenses.
In the second half, LG will focus on reinforcing its business fundamentals by prioritizing areas of “qualitative growth.” This includes expanding high-margin, stable-growth B2B sectors such as Vehicle Solutions and HVAC, scaling non-hardware businesses including webOS platform services and subscription-based models, and enhancing direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales through LGE.COM.
B2B operations offer greater resilience against demand and pricing volatility, making them well-suited for expanding solution-based businesses and establishing entry barriers through strong partnerships. Subscription models and platform-based services support recurring revenue and higher profitability, while D2C sales contribute to both improved profit structure and enhanced brand value.
The home appliance solutions business is maintaining a strong presence in the premium market and also achieving success in the volume zone lineups despite softening demand due to changes in U.S. trade policy and geopolitical risks in the Middle East, while its subscription model continues to perform steadily. In the second half, logistics costs are expected to ease, allowing the company to focus on securing sales, minimizing tariff impacts and ensuring a sound profit structure through operational efficiency.
The media and entertainment solutions business was impacted by price reductions aimed at addressing stagnant demand and higher marketing spend. In the second half, LG aims to further solidify its leadership in the premium OLED TV segment through the launch of new wireless products, while enhancing the competitiveness of the webOS platform by expanding into new content areas such as gaming and digital art.
The vehicle solutions business continues to grow steadily despite industry-wide challenges. Revenue growth and operational efficiency improvements have led to an increase in operating profit compared to the previous year. LG plans to drive sales of premium in-vehicle infotainment systems and diversify with new offerings like automotive content platforms.
In the HVAC business, LG will intensify its focus on commercial air conditioning systems and industrial cooling solutions—particularly by integrating AI-powered technologies into next-generation data center applications, expanding its AI data center (AIDC) business. The company also expects to complete the acquisition of European hot water solutions company OSO, supporting its expansion into the rapidly growing European Air-to-Water Heat Pump market through synergy and scale.
These figures are tentative consolidated earnings based on K-IFRS provided as a service to investors prior to LG Electronics’ final earnings results, including net profit. Details regarding each division will be announced officially later this month.

Hello, after the last update of WebOS (6.5.0.-24) there is different behavior of returning back to previous input on my TV. When I was watching a Live TV and opened an app like Youtube, after closing it (holding the return button) it used to return to Live TV. The same with HDMI input, when I was playing on Playstation and the opened an app, after closing it it returned back to PS. Now after the update, it always go to the Home Screen when the app is closed. I only found in setting to return to last input when turning the TV on instead of Home Screen, but didn't find the same for the behavior after closing an app. Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks
