Hello @simon, I finally managed to downgrade my dumb TV !! Many thanks to the method by @smx, the process worked like a charm. Thanks a lot once again for all your help and patience.

Hi @smx, welcome to the forum sure @simon, I will let you know once I try this method, hopefully it will work for me too

Hello Simon, Thanks a lot for all your help and patience. Thanks to the method @hepmisafir found, I believe that I will finally be able to downgrade my dumb TV

Hello Simon, Do you have any new ideas? I am running out of them

Hello again Simon, Unfortunately, my downgrade attempts using my other modem also failed both for the local and online approaches. I don't think our problem is related to a networking issue (after trying many many different configurations, I believe this way ) It seems like our TV does not accept the response file (maybe UF8507 requires some extra steps in the procedure or a response file in a different format) or LG did something on 04.10.10 firmware to block downgrade options I don't want to loose my hope here but I am getting closer to getting crazy

Well, resetting the TV settings to factory defaults did not work either Simon I will also try again with my old modem tomorrow and I hope that we will be able to maintain our mental health at the end

Yes Simon, it's really strange, I do not understand what I am doing wrong Yes, I have automatic DNS settings; I will change it to 8.8.8.8 or OpenDNS IP and try again. Also, I have another modem, I will try the same procedure with that modem. Also, I will set my TV to factory settings before the procedure; I do not know what I am going to do if this fails too I will let you know about the results.

Hi Simon, I didn't really understand what you mean with the other network? I have tried this method with two different laptops on ethernet, is that what you mean?

Hello again Simon, I also tried the above solution on that Windows XP machine but once again the process has failed ("in_dump.txt" file is still empty and my TV does not find any updates) with the following log on the "startDNS.bat" command window: C:\LgDTVUpDater>cd dns C:\LgDTVUpDater\dns>AcrylicConsole.exe ============================================================================== Acrylic

Hi Simon, First of all, thanks a lot for still helping us. I believe that we will be able to downgrade our dumb TVs very soon with your help, but please don't give up on us I have tried your above solution, exactly following the steps as you described but unfortunately my "in_dump.txt" file is still empty and my TV does not find any updates yet again. Here is the updated log from the "startDNS.bat" command window: C:\LgDTVUpDater>cd dns C:\LgDTVUpDater\dns>AcrylicConsole.exe

P.S. I will also try the same procedure on that old Windows XP laptop I have mentioned earlier and let you know about the result in the upcoming days (I am currently using Windows 10 Home Insider Preview Build 10565 and although I disable my firewalls maybe there might be some additional security settings blocking the computer-TV network connection, that is why I always mention that Windows XP machine and want to try the procedure on that too ).

Hi Simon, yes, the problem is almost certainly related to my TV model or its current software version 04.10.10 because I have tried all I could to eliminate any possible network issues. I have picked up an old laptop (with Windows XP) from the office, disabled the Windows firewall, made sure that only this computer and my TV is connected to my router via ethernet (I have even disabled WiFi on my router and on my TV) but still the TV could not find any updates. I guess I am stuck with 04.10.10

Hi Simon, Thanks a lot for your help but unfortunately this did not work for me either I have disabled both my Kaspersky and Windows firewalls, then I have downloaded the software file to the "htdocs" folder and modified the "HE_DTV_W15U_AFADABAA" file with the content above and with my computer's IP address but still no luck (the online method also failed), my in_dump.txt file is not updated and my TV cannot find any updates I guess I will have to try this on a different computer, that is my option left. By the way, here are the "startDNS.bat" log entries I receive using the local method (while Apache window does not create any):

Hello Simon, First of all, yes I am using the LgDTVUpDater script you have shared on the first page of this thread (which is updated on October, 19th) and I am pretty sure that I am following the steps as you described. Now, I would like to share some further details regarding my case hoping that they would help you So first, some information about my TV (the exact TV model and the WiFi DNS settings that I am using): Here is the "AcrylicHosts.txt" file that I am using (where 192.168.2.131 is the IP address of my computer): Here is what happens after running startDNS.bat and startHTTP.bat and when I start checking for updates on my TV: Using the LgDTVUpDater script you shared and after following your instructions described on steps 1 - 10, at the end, the in_dump.txt file is empty for me as shown below. So, since this online method did not work for me, I also tried the local update method (with "starfish-dvb-secured-lm15u-badlands-4552-03.13.85-prodkey_nsu_V3_SECURED.epk" file located under the "htdocs" folder as shown below and with the "HE_DTV_W15U_AFADABAA" file which I am sharing the contents of): Unfortunately though, this local update method did not work for me either. I hope I could be more clear with my problem now. Please let me know if you need any more details from me. Thanks once again for your interest and support, please help me downgrade my TV Regards, mtuna10.
