i have a LG55UN7440 .it's uae/africa version....it doesn't have alexa and a bunch of stuff...i wanted to know if i can replace the firmware with un7300 since they are basically the same thing ...without bricking my TV through the usb upgrade option

@marshall007 If you go to:

link hidden, please login to view

then click on the "reference"  link, you will see that the SAME firmware covers MANY different models, including the UN7300 and un7440 models.

The problem is that the different "country codes" assigned to the TV's in the country of sale, determing what  "apps" work or not, for that country/TV combination, and therefore what you can get from the country coded LG STORE..

so can I download software of another region and install on my tv using the usb installation method?

@marshall007 NO, it does not work like that. The firmware in the TV, plus the country code combination determines which LG STORE content is available for the country the TV is actually in. You can ONLY download apps from the LG STORE app itself on the TV itself, you cannot just cherry-pick any app you want from an external LG STORE site on a PC browser, and put it onto a USB for installing, that set-up just does not exist.

The USB stick method is ONLY for obtaining the latest firmware for specific TV models, where there may be delays in getting the OTA (Over-The-Air) updates for your TV model. LG does NOT publish APPS that way I am afraid.

what i meant to ask is if i can download the firmware for un7300 and install on un7440..since they are very similar....

@marshall007 I think you are misunderstanding what I have already posted.  You need to go to the link I posted, and then click on the red "Reference" link. This will shown that the un7300 series and the un7400 series USE THE SAME FIRMWARE, so what you are suggesting will make NO DIFFERENCE.

The country code that the TV is set to, will configure the LG STORE to work with, and show ONLY those apps that are licenced to work with your TV in that country of use. The apps "set" will get placed there and populated from a specific LG controlled server "space", depending on country of use.
