RootMyTV is a user-friendly exploit for rooting/jailbreaking LG webOS smart TVs.
|
||||
|
||||
It bootstraps the installation of the [webOS Homebrew Channel](https://github.com/webosbrew/webos-homebrew-channel),

**The vulnerabilities used by RootMyTV (both v1 and v2) have been patched by LG.
|
||||
RootMyTV is unlikely to work on firmware released since mid-2022.**
|
||||
|
||||
If you get a `"Denied method call "download" for category "/""` error, your TV is patched.
|
||||
If your TV reboots but Homebrew Channel is not installed, it is likely patched.
|
||||
Firmware downgrades are no longer possible without already having root access.

RootMyTV never worked on webOS versions prior to 3.4.0 or newer than 6.2.x.

The following table lists the first webOS version for each year's models that is
|
||||
known to <u>**not**</u> support RootMyTV:
|
||||
| TV model year | Base webOS version | RootMyTV patched since webOS version |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| 2016 | 3.0 | 3.4.2 |
|
||||
| 2017 | 3.5 | 3.9.2 |
|
||||
| 2018 | 4.0 | 4.4.2 |
|
||||
| 2019 | 4.5 | 4.9.7 |
|
||||
| 2020 | 5 | 5.4.0 |
|
||||
| 2021 | 6 | 6.3.0 |
|
||||
|
||||
Note: this versioning refers to the "webOS TV Version" field in the settings menu, *not* the "Software Version" field.
|
||||
If your webOS version is equal to or greater than the version in the "patched
|
||||
since" column for your TV's model year, **your TV is not vulnerable to
|
||||
RootMyTV**. While these versions and newer are definitely patched, older
|
||||
versions may or may not work. RootMyTV never worked on webOS versions prior to
|
||||
3.4.0 or any TVs that came with webOS 1, 2, 7 (22), or 8 (23).

<summary>More information about webOS version numbers</summary><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the year a TV was released, it uses a certain range of webOS version
|
||||
numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
The versions before 2016 and after 2019 are easy to understand, since the first
|
||||
digit is used only for a single year (e.g., every 6.x.y version is for a 2021
|
||||
TV).
|
||||
|
||||
However, LG did something unusual in 2017 and 2019 by not using a new first
|
||||
digit. TVs from 2017 and 2019 started from webOS versions 3.5 and 4.5,
|
||||
respectively. For example, TVs released in 2016 will have webOS versions equal
|
||||
to or greater than 3.0.0 and less than 3.5.0; TVs released in 2017 will use
|
||||
3.5.0 up to (but not including) 4.0.0; and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
<i>Note that when trying to determine when a given webOS version was released,
|
||||
you should only compare it with version numbers from the same model year.</i>
|
||||
For example, it is safe to assume version 3.4.1 was released after 3.3.0. But
|
||||
version 3.4.2 could have been (and in fact was) released after version 4.0.0.
|
||||
|
||||
With webOS 7 in 2022, LG started using the marketing name "webOS 22"; the same
|
||||
applies to webOS 8 ("webOS 23").
