Regain root after Homebew update
niklaspeura opened this issue · 2 comments
Hey!
I have an LG E8 tv (from 2018 I believe).
I had it rooted with rootmy.tv years ago, currently the TV is running 05.40.26 FW with webos 4.4.0-12 with blocked updates.
Previous state:
Rooted, unable to install/update homebrew apps due to new github certificate (which is untrusted on the TV side)
What I did:
I managed to update homebrew with the developer app method (ares).
Current state:
Root seems lost, homebrew was updated to 0.6.3, still can't install any apps due to the certificate issue.
How do I regain root on my TV, and how can I install the root CA on the TV so I can install apps again?
In the meantime I was able to regain root using this: https://github.com/illixion/root-my-webos-tv
You can then install homebrew with root access using the install script.
Still, the certificate issue persists and apps have to be installed manually.
Hi, nice to hear that other methods works for regaining root.
Now the hbchannel app is hosted on repo.webosbrew.org which can be downloaded by older TV models. Once update for hbchannel is available, it can be updated without manual installation.
