Thank you for the reply George.
Yes it's definitely not easy getting a link to the file. i think you have to have access to the websites I mentioned. The creator of LGDTVUPDATER has access to all of these old files and info, but I don't know how to get in touch with him.
I got a firmware version from LG Spain, which should work on all EU tv sets, but it still doesnt work. After reading a lot on forums, it seems all the 2017 OLED has a built in block that won't let you install a older firmware version.
Does anyone here have successfully downgraded a 2017 OLED tv?
