I get the same message. According to forums and people around it is a block on 2017 oled that prevents you from installing older firmware. 

Has anyone here successfully downgraded a 2017 oled?

I am currently on 03.60.09 and not happy with the changes they did to the HDR Game Mode (too dark). That's why I want to downgrade to 03.51.20

Where did you get your software file from? Are you sure it's a EU version?

Let me know if you find a way to downgrade the software.

[Leandroide0]

How do I change the values in the ez adjust menu on the "Continent Datail" tab? I think I can not tune in to DTV channels because dtv Caption tab  is "off" and can not change to "on".  Can someone help me?

Finally Apple has admitted that they are software "

" the iPhone (I prefer to replace the battery), I think we will find out soon that TV producers are aging LED technology in the same way, the client must be directed to OLED technology.
I just bought a brand new LG WebOS UHDTV, the image is like on my old LG NETCAST UHDTV before downgrade :-(.
I think the case is lost :-( it is an 2017 model and there is no older firmware.
I am thinking to return the TV and buy another brand.

PS Apple become very aggressive with the iPhone iOS update :-(. Periodically the phone ask the safety code to start the automatic download and overnight  installation of the latest iOS. And unfortunately there is no jailbreak to stop this :-(

No sorry. Have done alot of research but no luck yet. Maybe some smart individual will figure it out at some point.

[tallmantim]

Many thanks!

Only have a mac at home so ran up a free AWS windows instance and ran the initial update as described.

Updated to 3.3 -> 4.0 -> 5.0

From there was able to resolve my issue - Netflix wasn't working at all.

Installed fine.

Hi

If the TV don't respond to any command using classic remote control or the TV button (maybe the smart Remote control are not paired anymore) and the resoft process was without errors or with no power cut until the process was ended, that looks like there is a hardware issue and you have to replace the flash IC :-(. I'm afraid you have to contact an authorized service for this :-(, they have an already written flash.

When was your last firmware upgrade?

 

 

[Zibri]

Where to find OLD firmware versions? On LG website there is only the latest!

[Charles Tu]

Hi Simon

Thank you so much for helping out!

[Solidust]

Hello i'm new to this forum but i have been researching this topic heavily but i can not find and solution to flash my TV due to it failing due to a data decryption error i have a 55uh6030 model with 05.30.01

[Mebus]

Hello Simon, hello  together,

 I am not a native english speaker. Please forgive me for grammatical errors. 🙂

Have a 42LM640S with followed Problem: 

The SETTINGS will not works and if i push the HOME Button or MY APPS  Button or INPUT: with all Buttons will show on TV only on right Corner below a red circle with message : loading. But nothing will happen.

The TV has got the Firmware 4.62.12. The old Firmware from LG Homepage 4.40.19 will be denied. 

There ist also no chance to start the systemmenu like SETTINGS to try to reset or other. My only way to update or downgrade will works with USB or network.

I can watch  TV without errors, but all other functions are gone.

NOW my Question: how can i downgrade  under this Circumstances my  lovely TV? How can i fix it?

I hope for answer and that you understand me :-) . The LG support cant help me. 😞

@SIMON I checked your tutorial and everything looks good until point 9. Maybe do you have a solution for me?

Best regards send

Mebus

I wasn't able to get @SIMON's method to work unfortunately, but I followed @smx's tutorial to roll back the firmware for my LG 55UF850V from 4.05.60 to 04.00.90 and that worked, up until the point where I tried to run the update on the TV. The TV was able to find the available update (coming up as 04.05.61 on the tv), however when I clicked "update now" it said update failed immediately, giving the error message "Update failed because SW version is lower than TV SW version". Has anyone else had this issue and been able to fix it? I think perhaps it might have been because I was trying to update using the usb version of the .epk file (that's the only file I could seem to download on the lg support website) rather than the nsu version, but I can't seem to figure out where to download the nsu versions. 

Is anyone able to advise on how I could fix this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated because my TV is running very slowly on its current firmware version!

Hi Dejan.

Do the new downgrade tool work around the block that LG has on the newer tv's?  (Error message : Update failed because SW version is lower than TV SW version.)

[Dejan Fehirov]

I did not try..

You can try it, but there is always a risk of destroying the TV.  🤔

Anyone had problems with LG UK6470 new 2018 series?

Skaling seems to be not working correctly when my PC is connected to the tv with HDMI cable. I'm having black bars on left and right side depending on settings, i've tried 16:9 and original etc settings... Same thing happens on 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 resolutions.. It has been working before and i think they've messed up something with the latest patch 04.10.04.... Also samething happens with another pc. Is it possible to downgrade the software version?

@harry201204 Hi Harry, were you able to roll back your firmware version (04.05.60)? I'm also receiving this error "Update failed because software version is earlier than the version installed on the TV" and haven't being able to downgrade it. Downloaded the epk from LG site as well.

Does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade from newer firmwares?

 

 

[harry201204]

@Elee09 Unfortunately I wasn't able to succeed in rolling the firmware back, so I'm stuck on the current version.

I tried using the latest downgrade tool that @Dejan Fehirov linked me but sadly that didn't help, I still got the same error message and wasn't able to complete the downgrade. If anyone has any more ideas on how to fix the issue I'd be really appreciative though!
