WebOS TV Firmware version

[SIMON]

Anyone know when a european version will be available?

 

As LG said:

. Owners of webOS 1.0 TVs who have the automatic update option enabled will receive the upgrade automatically. If automatic update is not enabled, users will receive a pop-up message on their screen to guide them through the easy upgrade process, step by step.

Hello David. We do not know what version number in its name will have a new update. We have to wait until 21 September.

Thank you. I hope so the downgrade looks really complicated. I tried to find an unpacker for windows in a hope to patch version number to 5.10.04 but no luck lg unpack version cant/wont handle secured epk. I am worried as version seems like the numbering has been done on purpose i.e beta made 5.10.xx on purpose.?

[Dejan Fehirov]

No official 05.xx.xx   yet..

Latest official for LB series is 04.45.25

Only BETA 5.00.04 and 05.10.02 are available for download..

Official will be 05.10.03 ??? 

[Anis Berhil]

Nope, it's not possible, because firmware version info is stored inside firmware file.

 

Maybe one can edit firmware with notepad+ or some editing program

Don't worry David, downgrade is not complicated as much as you think. We will help you, if it will be necessary.

Maybe, but it is not me.

Cheers Simon I thought it may be out sooner with LG releasing it in the eastern areas as reported by earlier posts.

I'm so glad I managed to downgrade. Thought I might be stuck with the beta.

Cheers Jon

OK, I understand Jon, but I do not think that the version reported by earlier posts is an update scheduled for 21 September.

I think it might be, It would be odd to release such a large update right before another one, Also I had Automatic updates unticked and received the pop up.

Can you set your TV to Australia? it should pop up then.

Well, LG movements are weird.

What is your Software Version now?

I did have the broadcast location set to Australia so that I could enable HIBB TV  but I suppose it would be the service location that I would have to change . How are you finding this update ?

That is true

I am on 5.00.04.

Yah change service location, Update is really good mate, Everything loads up a lot quicker ie Plex,Netflix,youtube plus just switching inputs has improved a lot.

I tried switching the service country from NZ to Australia but that didnt work. Maybe have to change the location to Australia as well but I am a bit nervous about doing that in case there are differences in the firmware between the two countries.

There is no way they would have a different version for AUS and NZ would not make any sense

That is true but then we have silly things like HIBB not enabled unless you switch to Aus and then reprogram all your channels (we have a different channel gap too I think.)

I would prefer not to be the first to try this :-)

[peejayw]

That is true

I am on 5.00.04.

Do you recall what firmware you were on before you did the update? I am currently on 04.65.05

[SIMON]

That is true

I am on 5.00.04.

 

Oops, sorry, I mean what is your webOS TV Version... 

It's still 1.4.0-2504 (afro-ashley) like in beta?

[LGSAM]

My gut feeling is that the firmware is the same for AUS as NZ but like you I am not sure . Probably best to be patient  Hopefully LG has not forgotten about us in New Zealand .

Darn, I was about to suggest you give it a go then report back :-)

I did try, changed to Aus in both fields but no update then I chickened out and reverted to NZ.

You can switch to Aus then update then switch back to NZ, and i was on 04.65.05 aswell.

WebOS TV version here is 1.3.3-395(afro-arches)  I wonder if that would make a difference?

It might not be a planned 21.09 release. It's because this release is not world wide. Just like on mobile phones they release a "stable" official in few countries. The soft is than again tested. After that there is next world wodę release.
