Hi, Iam from India and Iam using LG G Pro(F240, Korean model), Android version 4.1.2, Kernal version 3.4.0.
Software version LG-F240-EUR.
I have root access and while attempting to remove bloatware, I accidentally removed 'video streaming' system software and from that time onwards I am not able to stream YouTube videos on my device. Using Tubemate, Iam able to download YouTube vids, but Iam not able to directly view YouTube videos.
Tried hard reset, but no use.
Went to LG service Centre. They agreed to port Jellybean, Indian version into my phone(they did not have Kitkat), but again they said, the OS versions being from different countries may clash and the motherboard may have to be changed.
They quoted big price for the new motherboard, for which I disagreed.
Now, can anybody please provide the missing 'video streaming' software for my device?
Or can I port android kitkat on to my phone from the Internet?
Can I Port Kitkat Indian version or should I go for the Kitkat Korean version only?
Please help.
I suggest checking out this section here
There are several guides for you to follow to restore your device to stock, and if you register you can also ask questions there.
Good luck

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.
you can flash it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I'm not responsible for any damage that you will cause to your phone.
Hi Sarvesh,
Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.
guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.
Regards,
Kailash
Hi Guys,
I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.

Hi Sarvesh,
I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?
Here's what i tried.
1) Installed a custom rom
2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a
3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device
4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)
5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.
IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version
Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:

Hi Roy/Sarvesh,
Even I bought this phone in India and under Software Information i find the same details. One more thing I noticed, in Hard rest mode it shows in Korean language and not in English. Even, I need stock rom for India. Please help.

Hi Sarvesh,
Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,
Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)
Once done edit the following entries.
-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d
- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX
(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)
That should make your ROM look like stock indian.
Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.

Hello
I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 , 2014 edition tablet . I live in China and most of the devices blocked the Google Play app.. I have read that the only way to install it is by flashing it with Odin.
If i flash it will i still have the Samsung TouchWizz, Air Commander, S Finder and other specific designed features for the S pen?
Thanks !
After reading some more about the subject i found some answers. It seems that by flashing i can install an european version of the OS which
will avoid any other issues with google apps. It also means i can still have the same original features of the tablet.
What about the updates? When Samsung releases a new update i can install it from their oficial website?
I have also read that by rooting/flashing you can damage or make it unusable How is this possible and how risky it is?
Hello All,
I have LG G4-H818P dual-sim international unlocked version. Ever since I upgraded it to Android 6 (Software Verison V20c-AME-XX), most of my applications have stopped running and I even cannot upgrade them since the Google Play itself stopped completely from opening !!!!! I tried to reinstall Android 6 again via LG Bridge application provided by LG but the issues remain. Can someone suggest me what to do to? Is Android 6 not well-optimized for G4 yet? If so, why would they release it then? Can I recovery Android lollipop at least to get my apps working again since I cannot update existing ones due to Google Play crash.

This guide should help you downgrade the software on your LG TV so you can get root if you've updated to 3.30.10 like I did.
I've tried to include as much information as I can and there are 3 methods to choose from on the GitHub
This has been tested and confirmed to downgrade on an LG 43 Inch TV 2021 Model - LG-43UP75006LF https://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-43up75006lf from Software Version 3.30.10 to 3.21.30 but should work on other LG TV models too with the relevant firmware for that TV.
Hope this helps and let me know if you've tried it
Dude this is awesome! Thanks for putting this together. Unfortunately, I cannot find a suitable previous firmware for my model(70UN6950ZUA). I got the reference list and tried all 73 models but I couldn't find any on the Korean website. I'm not giving up though. I will now scour the internet for firmware.
Well I found a the right 3.21.75 firmware for my tv using the way back machine! Unfortunately, I tried all three methods of downgrading and none of them worked… I can get to the usb software update screen but when I click update it just tells me it’s unable to update. My tv is on webOS 5.3.2-2208 software version 4.35.30 and I currently have a pending update to 4.40.09.

Thank you
With your tutorial i could downgrade my tv (wich is the same as yours, that would have helped me alot if you told wich korean model match with it) with method 3 (i like ssh on things )
You could had there is a Telegram group where there are all the lastest exploitable firmware : https://t.me/lgwebosusb
So nice job again
I have a 50" UN 70006LA and downloaded the latest firmware image from the telegram channel. All three methods fail with my current installed SW (4.40.09). Is there someone with the same issue and managed to downgrade the firmware?
Can someone search for the 32lm625bpsb firmware for me I can't find
Unfortunately, I can't find old firmware for my OLED77A19LA anywhere. Anyone knows where else to look?
This morning my unrooted OLED55G26LA tv updated to sw 03.21.45 and WebOs 7.2.0-47 (mullet marine)
Is there any way to root this tv?
I couldn't find my TV model nor any of the related models on the Korean LG website. If I try to use a different firmware is there a risk to brick my TV?
Hi there! Thanks for sharing this guide on downgrading LG TV software to get root access. It's great to see that you've included multiple methods to choose from on your GitHub page. This will be helpful to many people who have updated to version 3.30.10 and are looking to gain root access. If you need to test it professionally, I suggest using zaptest.com. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
i tried method 1 and 2, but for method 3 it doesn't give me access to the ssh client
Hey all,
I have just bought an audi that comes with the android tablets for the kids in the back seat. They are running android 4.4.2 and no OTA updates are available to it. Due to its old OS, im having problems getting things like bluetooth controllers and even the play store to work correctly (intermittent downloads stuck on pending forever / stalling).
I have seen other tablets of the same variety running android 7 but cannot find the software anywhere on the internet to update to the custom build for these head units.
Can anyone help me figure out how to make this tablet a little more usable in 2023?
Thanks
Request the matching Android 7+ from OEM.
I have emailed the maker of the device, JET OPTO via their website but they havn't responded.
Does anyone know if rooting and custom rom would work on this - retaining its function with hdmi in etc?
I was thinking, another way around it is to use a ?firestick and miracast a phone?

Hi
Same here. I cant find any info about update. There are some info that ppl have android 7 but no info how to do it. On audiworld someone did it by audi service. Ive made couple phones to service and no1 could tell me how tu update. Ive read somewher that rooting RSE III is very risky, it can freeze, then y can do nothing. In service the told me that they can change my old RSE to newer (silver one) cost is big. I dony want to risk that in couple years problem with update will be thisome. I think best way is to buy normal tablets andro or ios.
I can confirm taht you can update to oem audi android 7, already did it.
Hi, do you have the audi oem look files to update it?
I'm looking for the Android 7 update files for an RSEIII currently running on 4.4.2 as well.
Any news on this? I'm also looking for the update.
