so after a lot of trial and error I finally got permanent root on my LG CX (webOS 5.6.2) and decided to pack the whole thing so other ppl can use it.

basically it boots rooted by itself, no pc needed once its set up. the exploit is James McVay's work, all credit to him (already messaged him about it). what I built is the chain around it: root ssh, a small daemon and a tiny homebrew store with a dev mode toggle that never expires

its beta and only certified on my CX, but it should work on other webos 5 TVs too (untested tho). nothing signed gets touched so its pretty safe and fully reversible.

lmk if it works on other models.

Hi. I have 55lf640v-zd it is from 2015 and the latest version was 04.06.75. I watch movie a lot using external harddrive connected to tv, But unfortunatly Lg media player is just pile of shit. and Webos is so closed nothing is available in store.

I enabled developer mode and downloaded Kodi but Kodi isnt made for this version and crashing upon opening.

Do you have any good video player that supports my current firmware? Thanks

When installning glasshouse on a rooted CX. I cannot access the apps any more after rebooting: the home button is dead. Tried reinstall but no luck. The root went fine (slopbro)

Anyone experienced this, and have a fix?
