GetMeIn : One time rooting/jailbreaking tool for webOS LG TV's

[endera]

Does anyone know any way to install WebOs 4.0 apps (ipk) on WebOs 1.4 devices? Can I change the version number to fool the LG store?

I want to install Disney + or HBOMAX on my old LG TV, even if I have to root it. I have been trying to find IPKs all over the internet but I can't find them anywhere.

It seems to me the most absurd thing that state-of-the-art hardware is required to access Streamings that can be played on any pc or android device. If Netflix and Amazon can be in a WebOs 1.4 because not Streamings like HBOMAX or Disney +, obviously it will not have 4K or HDR but at least watch the series in basic 1080p format.

Interesting thread. I've been working through trying to get access. Currently failing after authenticating over SSH. I get the error message PTY allocation failed on channel 0.

Any ideas how I could get past this?

Passphrase (from Dev Mode) for tv2_webos is accepted but next step I receive а request for username password. And that's the problem "alpin" password doesn't accepted.

Hi! Do you solve this problem? I have the same.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately RootMyTV does not work for the latest versions of webos either. I hope a new version will arrive soon.

try crashd method. you can find on openlgtv discord channel.

Open telnet and run this commands. And password now "alpine"

        sed -r 's/root:.?:/root:xGVw8H4GqkKg6:/' /etc/shadow > /tmp/shadow
        chmod 400 /tmp/shadow
        mount --bind /tmp/shadow /etc/shadow
        sed 's/root:\*:/root:x:/' /etc/passwd > /tmp/passwd
        chmod 444 /tmp/passwd
        mount --bind /tmp/passwd /etc/passwd

managed to root TV but cannot seem to SFTP in Winscp to edit start-devmode-sh file for perm root. Oddly Homebrew app doesnt show root either

Weboso 2.2 looks amazing. Can the lg cx handle it?
