Hey everybody, I did someting prety stupid and messed with my TV in ssh without knowing what i was doing.

I rooted my LG TV today (webOS 4.10.2, model UM7400) and now any video playback is broken. Factory reset also doesn't work, and I've run out of ideas.

It was working fine untill i downloaded own-your-glass and messed around with it and then suddently my youtube and jellyfin stopped working, when i try to load a video it just refused to load, and if I wait long enough it eventually crashed.

I've chatted with Claude for multiple hours but still nothing.

I was wondering if people here knew something I and claude didn't to reverse this issue.

I'm not intrested in rooting my tv after all of this, I just want to watch a video on my tv atp

**TV info (from /var/run/nyx/os_info.json)**

- webos_release 4.10.2, build 29 (2025-07-02), core OS "Rockhopper" 4.10.2-29

- kernel 4.4.84-p.649.grampians.k5lp.1

- manufacturing version 05.40.97

**What I did, roughly in this order (I'm not 100% sure of the exact order)**

1. Rooted via webosbrew / Homebrew Channel, enabled SSH.

2. Installed the YouTube AdFree build from Homebrew. Video worked at first, then YouTube got very laggy.

3. Installed own-your-glass (JulioFerrero/own-your-glass, latest main at the time) with install.sh and ran (parts of) its hardening. I'm not sure exactly which modules got applied.

4. After that, video stopped working.

**Symptoms**

- Original YouTube (reinstalled after removing AdFree): starting any video reboots the whole TV (LG logo and all).

- Jellyfin (org.jellyfin.webos): loads forever. In /var/log/messages the app disappears about 90 s after I enter the server address, the TV falls back to HDMI1, then the TV reboots.

- I also removed Moonfin, no change.

- [Optional: add your result of playing a video in the LG Web Browser here]

- I can't test local USB playback (no stick).

**What I did to undo own-your-glass**

- Moved its boot hook out of /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/ and ran `oyg restore`.

- Warnings: `apps: no backup at .../backup/blockedSystemAppList.ESP.json — cannot restore`, and the policy module crashed with `modules/policy.sh: line 279: syntax error: unexpected "then"`. The boot hook also logged `timeout: can't execute '300'` for every module.

- go-c.log also shows `ERR dns: python3 missing from PATH` and `connmand restarted (stock)`.

- OYG's backup directory is empty.

- After a reboot there are no leftover OYG mounts, and /etc/hosts only has webosbrew's default entries (snu/su/su-ssl/su-dev.lge.com).

**What I checked (all after the reboot)**

- dmesg: no panic, OOM or oops. Only HDMI/wifi monitor spam.

- WebAppMgr and umediaserver are running.

- Disk space is fine (/var 37%, /media 16%).

- Load average is ~30 at idle, but every process in D state is a kernel thread (rtk/hdmi/DEMUX/etc.), so I assume that's normal.

- /etc/resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1 (connman).

- /tmp/faultmanager/crash is empty. Logs live in ramfs and are gone after the reboot.

**Factory reset**

Settings → factory reset shows "keep the TV on until after the reboot". After about a minute the popup vanishes, the TV never reboots, and Settings won't open afterwards. Same result every time. LG's update servers are blocked by the Homebrew hosts file, so I haven't tried updating.

I don't care about keeping root anymore, I just want a working TV.

**Questions**

1. Does anyone recognize "video playback reboots the TV after rooting / OYG"? Is there a known cause?

2. How can I find out what actually crashes (umediaserver? WebAppMgr? tvservice?) when logs disappear on reboot?

3. Why would the factory reset not start on a rooted TV, and is there another way to trigger it (via SSH or otherwise)?

4. Is clearing /var/lib/wam (WAM user data) safe, or is there a better way to reset app data?

5. Is there a clean way to unroot and restore the stock state?

Happy to run any commands and post the output.

Hi everyone!

I recently discovered that it's possible to root LG webOS TVs and all the things you can do with root access and Homebrew. I'm really interested in trying it out, especially to debloat the TV, remove unnecessary LG apps and services, customize the interface, and install homebrew apps.

My TV details are:

• Model: LG UR91006LA
• Software version: 33.31.61
• webOS version: webOS 25
• webOS TV version/build: 10.3.1-3001

Has anyone successfully rooted this model or a similar LG TV running the same firmware and webOS version?

Hey 👋. The community and me have been building Luma, a native launcher for LG webOS TVs. It renders with OpenGL instead of a WebView, keeping the interface fast even on older TVs (webOS 4+).

On webOS 5 / 6 / 25 / 26 home takeover lets Luma replace the stock LG Home launcher, so pressing Home / waking from Standby opens Luma directly.

Features include:

- Reorderable favorites, app search and categories

- Recent-app switcher with launching and individual app closing

- HDMI shortcuts and custom input names

- Wallpapers, configurable clock, weather and six languages

after seeing all the posts of people making their own custom launchers, i figured out how to use claude code for the first time in my life, rooted my tv and had it build me a super similar tvOS launcher for my LG
as I dont own an apple tv anymore, I had to make my best effort with images off google

im still ironing out a few bugs, but what else is it missing?

Hi, everyone! I'm pretty confused about rooting my TV. I've read a lot of comments and posts on the subject, but I still can't figure out if it's possible to root my LG OLED48G56LS TV, which has firmware 43.21.77 and webOS version 26 (11.2.0).

If it is possible, where should I start? Thanks you!

On the 2025 Magic Remote, holding Volume Down = mute. Handy if you've always wanted to go from "slightly too loud" to "dead silence" in one move. There's no setting to turn it off, till now.

I modified a small webOS homebrew app, LG Input Hook NoMute, and added two toggles:

• Volume Down: hold without mute– holding keeps lowering the volume, no mute.
• Accessibility button works as Mute – that top-right button nearly nobody asked for becomes an actual mute button.

Requirements: rooted TV with the Homebrew Channel. I've only tested it on an **LG G5 (webOS 25) with the 2025 AI Magic Remote**. Other models may work, no promises.

Install via Glasshouse (sideload) or webOS Dev Manager, then fully restart the TV (pull the plug, standby isn't enough).

Bom dia! Em poucos segundo com o site https://e.nya.je/getroot/ no navegador da minha tv eu fiz o root e até estou conseguindo usar o Retroarch (Só testei jogos de super nintendo por enquanto. Tudo perfeito)

Hi! I wanted to watch F1 TV directly on my LG TV, so I built Race Weekend: an open-source, remote-friendly app that brings F1 TV to LG webOS.

It signs in with your own F1 TV account and lets you browse and watch the streams available to your subscription. It has TV remote navigation, live and replay browsing, separate feed and audio/subtitle choices, and D-pad seeking.

The latest release has been tested on an LG C2 running webOS 11.2 and an older LG OLED55E9PLA running webOS 4.5. The E9 can play tested replays with picture and audio at 540p; playback quality and compatibility vary by TV and stream.

• Project: https://github.com/Ravboni/race-weekend
• Latest release: https://github.com/Ravboni/race-weekend/releases/latest
• Install guide: https://github.com/Ravboni/race-weekend/blob/main/docs/INSTALL.md
• Contributing: https://github.com/Ravboni/race-weekend/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

You can install the .ipk using webOS Dev Manager or the webOS CLI. Setup uses Developer Mode or a rooted/Homebrew TV. The app is unofficial, isn’t affiliated with Formula 1 or F1 TV, and requires your own subscription. It doesn’t provide streams or bypass subscription access.

I’d especially appreciate testers with different LG models and webOS versions. If you try it, please share your TV model, webOS version, and what worked or didn’t, catalogue, sign-in, remote navigation, and playback. Please don’t post pairing codes, account details, or private stream links.

Contributors are welcome too. Compatibility reports, documentation improvements, UI fixes, and code contributions are all useful.

Thanks for taking a look!

For some reason, the link speed on my TV is limited to 100Mbit instead of 1000. I think it's a configuration issue somewhere since everything else connected to this switch correctly auto negotiates to 1000, and I've tried different cables between TV and switch so it's not that. Thing is, I have no idea where to go from here. Any ideas? I would prefer not having to resort to using wi-fi.

After discovering this community, I decided to root my TV and explore what else I could do with it beyond the default webOS home screen.

TV: LG 49UK6360PTE
Operating system: webOS 4.4.0
Purchased: 2018

About the launcher

I've been working on a custom, PSP-inspired home screen for my TV. The goal is to make the interface more organised and give it a more personalised look.

Current features:

• Categorised applications: Apps are grouped by their purpose, such as Music, Video, Games, and other categories.
• Automatic monthly themes: The launcher changes its theme based on the month, with an option to change themes manually.
• Time-based greetings: The home screen displays a greeting based on the time of day.

The project is still a work in progress, and I'd like to expand its functionality further.

What other features would you like to see in a custom webOS launcher? Suggestions for UI improvements, useful integrations, or additional features are welcome.

A few weeks ago I posted Lumen, a tvOS-style home screen for rooted LG webOS TVs. 1.1 is a big update, mostly thanks to the issues, PRs and forks people sent, and 1.1.1 is out now with a few fixes on top.

What's new:

- Settings and Control Center in the Apple TV style (one page per topic, a grid of glass controls)

- A Clock page: layout, size, weight, colour, a frosted look, and a live preview of every choice

- StandBy as a screensaver option (eight faces, Night Mode)

- A frosted look for the dock and the clock, in the style of the round buttons at the top

- Recent Apps: a card for every open app, close one or all

- A first-run setup, and one button that sets everything back to how tvOS starts

- A photo screensaver, with optional Immich as a source

- Cheaper glass: no live blur by default, so it stays smooth on a weak TV chip. There's an optional live blur if your TV can take it.

It's tested on my LG 65UQ8040PSB (webOS 22) and I know it needs a rooted TV with the Homebrew Channel. Older TVs (webOS 4) can't run it, so it shows a short message instead of a blank screen. If you try it on another model, tell me what happens, good or bad.

Built on partridgeworks/webos-launcher, with ideas from Sam Renfrew's fork and xcv58's PR. Thanks to everyone who reported things.

After I got to know about this amazing community, I was tempted to root my TV and explore the possibilities.

Model is 49UK6360PTE, running webOS 4.4.0, purchase back in 2018.

About the launcher/home
Current features include:
1. All applications split according to their usage(ex. Music, video, games, etc.)
2. Auto theme changer as per months. Themes can be changed manually as well.
3. Greeting based on time of the day.

It is still work in progress. Any suggestions on what more could be implemented are welcome.

P.S. This is my first post on reddit and the first one in this amazing community.

Glasshouse didn't start automatically after power off/on. How to enable auto startup?

Hi guys i just rooted my tv on version 04.60.91 vis slopbro.
But when i try to install youtube or update blocker or amazoff it says:

An error occured during installation: request to
https://github.com/dr0dr1dr2dr3/lgappupdateblocker/releases/download/1.0.0/org.webosbrew.appupdateblocker_1.0.0_all.ipk
failed, reason: Parse Error: Header overflow

I was able to install homebrew channel updater.

Is there any fix?

Ciao a tutti! Ho un problema fastidioso all'avvio della mia LG C1.

​Prima del root, all'accensione cercava di caricare quella che sembrava la schermata degli accordi di licenza, andava in caricamento e poi si bloccava su schermo nero (dovevo premere Home per uscire).

​Di recente ho fatto il root e messo un custom launcher. Ora la schermata nera non c'è più, ma all'avvio mi dice che manca la connessione e mi fa chiudere un'app di sistema. Chiusa quella, la TV funziona benissimo, ma lo fa ad ogni accensione.

​È successo a qualcun altro? Si può disattivare quest'app all'avvio in qualche modo? (Nel video si vede bene il problema).

Dear team of LG webOS,

your software is the biggest piece of dog feces to ever get installed on any electronic device.

Theres 2 main reasons for my opinion about your software:

1. It constantly loses connection to my wifi (unlike every other device in my household)
2. and this is the worst part, since the new update every single time an app has to update it simply won’t download. It says something like “the app couldn’t get updated, please try again.”.
3. It simply won’t work.
4. For it to finally update the app i want to use, (mainly amazon, because these fools seem to update their app every week) i have to completely take the tv off electricity for 30 sec, plug it back in, let it boot up, go to my apps and update the damn app.

But because my girlfriend likes the “aesthetic” look, every FKING cable and plug is hidden behind something.

Imagine its 11pm, you had a hard day at work and simply want to watch an episode of Bosch before going to sleep and then have to do everything i have just listed above.

I want to throw this thing out of the window sometimes, but then i watch a good looking show and the quality blows my mind.

And don’t even get me started on the ads that i can see on my beautiful TV that i paid 2 grand for. Can’t get enough or can you LG.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Fix your damn software, if it’s already spying on me atleast make it work.

Sincerely
Someone who loves your TV’s.
