Hi all,
I'm wondering how you can get into the service menu (In Start) on an old LG Smart TV (42LB630V) running WebOS 1.4. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) with a IR blaster, I have tried sending '0x04FB 0xFB04' to I which should be IR code to enter the menu, but that doesn't work.
I have also tried entering it with the SSAP-Web, but I get:
error: 500 Application error
{"errorCode":-101,"returnValue":false,"errorText":"\"com.webos.app.factorywin\" was not found OR Unsupported Application Type"
The SAPP-Web app does works though, because the TV does respond to Get info
{
"returnValue": true,
"product_name": "webOS",
"model_name": "HE_DTV_WT1M_AFAAABAA",
"sw_type": "FIRMWARE",
"major_ver": "05",
"minor_ver": "05.90",
"country": "omitted",
"device_id": "omitted",
"auth_flag": "N",
"ignore_disable": "N",
"eco_info": "01",
"config_key": "00",
"language_code": "en-GB"
}
The reason I want to access the menu is because I've enabled DEBUG mode on my TV through the NVM method and I want to enter a root shell trough UART to enable SSH and root access.
