So, I was able to downgrade from 05.30.25 by first upgrading to test version from here

https://www.avforums.com/threads/lg...-thread-part-6.2109692/page-141#post-26604009

And once I was downgraded to 04.31.20, I was able to use the root method posted by teffd and it worked OK.

I was playing around to see what I could do with root. I was wondering if anyone else had done this and was able to figure anything out.

One thing I was messing with is the screensaver images. I found them in /old_root/usr/palm/applications/com.webos.app.photovideo/assets/samplePhoto/

I tried to copy some different images to this folder, unfortunately this partition seems to be mounted as read only and I can't figure out how to remount it as read/write.

/dev/mmcblk0p27 on /old_root type squashfs (ro,relatime)

I tried a bunch of commands to mount as RW, none of the commands generate any error but the partition is always still read-only

mount -o remount,rw /old_root
mount -o rw,remount /old_root /old_root
mount -o rw,remount /dev/mmcblk0p27 /old_root

Then I read somewhere that squashfs is always read only unless you unpack it and repack it or something? Anyone know anything about this?

Also, something else weird happened to me after downgrading; the audio quality from the internal speakers became terrible for some reason (like it sounded muffled or like the sound was coming out of tiny phone speaker). I tried re-upgrading and a factory reset and neither would fix it. Eventually I had to buy a service remote from ebay, press the ADJ button and enter password 0413 to get to the service menu, then goto tool menu 3, and change the audio amp setting from ntp7515 2amp -> ntp7515 1amp, then power cycle the TV. Hopefully this will help if someone else has a similar issue.

Also I have another question that maybe teffd or someone else knowledgeable can answer: once I have a persistant root on port 22 telnet working, is there any way to transfer files to/from the TV over the network with tftp or scp or anything like that?

Hi there!

Guys, my firmware is

Linux LGwebOSTV 4.4.84-150.glacier.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 17 02:32:39 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Is there a way to get root somehow for me?

I'm wondering you're talking about 04.31.20, 05.30.25 versions... Where did you find it? :)

Thank you!

P.S. My TV is 55C8.

Hello,

What about adding a new universal root tool for all models :) let me know if you're interested.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] TheUndertaker21:
That would be a dream come true
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Maroc-OS:
Well, there was really lot of exploits that i discovered on my 52LB670V Model, directory traversal, replace existing system binaries, wrong permissions and that was even not needing special skills. some got patched and some not and i believe will never get patched because of the system requirement. but i think LG will act to limit the damage with some workarounds.

i will not burn all the exploits but i think i will use one that i believe exists on all models/versions (not tested on all webOS versions) i will need some logs from different webOS versions specially 3 and above to release the tool.

i may post some pictures later if there is good support from users.

LOL seems LG Got me back to XDA Devs after a very long time.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] TheUndertaker21:
I can provide logs and I'm sure many users would love to root their TV as well
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Maroc-OS:
That's great need TV model and webOS version and some commands from the tv.

okay first of all create a dir named logs :

mkdir logs

TV Infos :

cat /var/run/nyx/device_info.json > logs/device_info.json

(delete your nduid serial number and mac addresses)

webOS Infos :

cat /var/run/nyx/os_info.json > logs/os_info.json

cat /proc/cpuinfo > logs/cpu.log

ls -arls /var/log/ > logs/logdir.log

ls -arls /usr/lib/ > logs/libsdir.log

ls -arls /proc/ > logs/procdir.log

ls -arls /dev/ > logs/devices.log

i think that's everything i need, upload the logs dir somewhere and put a link here.

how can i take logs from the tv ? lol

At Greece and the default liveTV(timeshift) buffer is 90 minutes no matter how big USB-disk I attach.

Is there a way to increase it? I saw 2 hours mentioned at some sites,maybe it is dependable to

Ideally I would like to increase it to 8 hours

Also ideally the tv should enable the screen saver in order to avoid burn-in of pixels.

Maybe rooting the TV will help?

webos command line

Hi.

I want to develop an app on webos 3 and 4, but the problem is the limited API. I want to read some information from dvb tuner and use gstreamer (already installed open-source), so i cannot test in emulated vm.

At this moment i have a LG UH8507 but I am scared to test on it, and i want to buy cheapest LG webos from market to develop and play on it. I saw on market most of LG tv's are webos 4.0.

Can anyone tell me if can i get access to terminal command (root or user) on the webos 4.0 ? i don't want to install apps, only to read some info.

If is not possible to obtain terminal command access in webos 4.0, witch version is suitable for that ?

At this moment i test it with ares-novacom but is to hard to work in this manner.

I tried to log in with putty with key from puttygen but no success.

Thank you !

Folks, wanted to leave you guys a heads up that some of us are facing issues with the phone not picking up a 4G signal, or picking a signal but not connecting to mobile data or VoLTE after the update to NPL26.118-20

Here's a thread I created specific to India and Jio 4G with Band 5 (850Hz) in the official Lenovo support forum - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums.../Moto_Z/highlight/false/page/1/thread-id/2624

Here's one more thread - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/Moto_Z/thread-id/2668/page/1

Before you upgrade, use LTE Discovery app to ensure you're not in one of these regions with an affected LTE Band!
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
Update to the issue - my phone (running 7.1.1) is only trying to connect to Band 5 FDD-LTE in the location where I am at, but does not manage a LTE/ VoLTE signal or connects but drops/ does not connect after reboot. I used another XT1650-03 that is still running 7.0, which connects to Band 40 TDD-LTE (same exact location, same SIM used in both the devices). My service provider is known to utilize multiple LTE bands in the same location, but it is weird that 7.0 connects to Band 40 and works fine but 7.1.1 tries to connect only to Band 5 - that too without success.

I am roaming in a location where both Band 5 and Band 40 are available. 1650-03 with 7.0 connects to Band 40, but 7.1.1 insists on connecting to Band 5 but fails.

RETUS Unit here

Only Band 3 works.

Everything else drops out.

(Been trying to downgrade to RETUS 7.0 ever since)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
There is no way to downgrade except for going in for replacement, and hope that the replacement device comes with 6.0.1 or 7.0, and not 7.1.1 - I tried this route with the Moto service already, and am thinking of going in for the replacement..
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] sheratan_b:
There are factory images available (for RETEU only 6.0.1 version is available), if i understand you correctly, downgrading by flashing the full ROM with mfastboot would not work properly...? :confused: I'm considering to just downgrade and wait for them to solve the issues with 7.1.1, since sending the device for repairs would be a hassle...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
It won't flash the boot, recovery, and system partitions (among others), and will tell you that you cannot downgrade.

I took mine to the service centre, and all they can do is reflash 7.1.1 - they cannot downgrade either, only option is replacement and hope the replaced device comes with 6.0.1 or 7.0
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] sheratan_b:
Have you tried flashing 7.0 on it? bullfinch110 suggested that the bootloader changed from 6.x to 7.x, that's why you can't downgrade, but flashing 7.0 should be fine. [link]

For you i suppose instead of the RETBR, you'd need some RETIN firmware.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
I did not find the retin such image, think I tried the reteu 7.0, but it failed. Let me know if you're able to get it to downgrade - but have at least the 7.1.1 ota handy just in case. What I've found is that the modem will downgrade - and will probably fix the 4G issue, but WiFi won't work.

Android 7.0 also missing LTE bands

Got my hands on an European Moto Z model xt1650-03 reteu, still on Android 7.0 with security patch of April 1st 2017, and am having LTE-reception limited to Band 1, 3 and 20, although provider and coverage indicate that band 5 and 8 also should be present.

In settings there is only 4g present, no enchanced 4g for LTE or Volte, although having activated those services through my provider (Vodafone CZ). The occasional 4+ is sometimes also showing.

Having read about the problems with the total loss of LTE for several users after upgrading to 7.1.1, I am very reluctant to make the jump before an eventual patch.

Any thoughts from other users with similar issues?

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
After being thrown back and forth between phone support and service center, I have figured out the solution on my own. Long story short, use Baseband (NON-HLOS.bin) version M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID for retin considering it fixes the Jio 4G roaming issue. M8996_1258.42.03.11R is from retcn (XT1650-05)

As of build NPL26.118-20-5-3 (Oct 2017 Security patch), my phone has a Baseband version of M8996_1239.53.01.0126.04.01R SID, which does not work with Jio 4G if it is roaming between different parts of the country that uses different LTE Bands.

M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID works just fine - Jio 4G VoLTE works in roaming, Wifi and BT works too. When I need to update (security updates or to check if Moto finally fixed the problem), I flash the full firmware for NPL26.118-20-5, get OTA updates that came after, check if they fixed the issue (which they haven't till now) and flash M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID NON-HLOS.bin so that I can use my phone.

I also have my wife's phone with a SIM from the same Jio 4G network (in roaming too) that I have kept at 7.0 without upgrading to 7.1.1, only to prove to Moto service that the phone itself is fine, and its the update to 7.1.1 that messed it up. Her phone running 7.0 has Baseband version M8996_1239.53.01.126R SID and works fine in stock form. If I flash this Baseband version on my 7.1.1, 4G and VoLTE will work, but Wifi breaks.

Both the phones are bootloader-locked (never been unlocked), and not modded in any way. If you need any technical detail/ experiments, let me know - I am doing all that I can without unlocking my bootloader anyway.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Benoe:
How did you flash the retcn baseband to your retin model?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

Flashing the modem does not require an unlocked bootloader, so you can experiment with different modems - just make sure you are flashing modem versions from the different variants of XT1650, that's all.

Unfortunately, the update did not fix the Jio 4G roaming issue I'd described in the OP. And this is the only fix apart from staying with 7.0 that helps...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
Finally, after almost 9 months of dealing with this problem, the retin update to OPL27.76-51 resolved the issue. The phone now readily latches on to Jio 4G when on roaming without me having to go through all the hassles I have been undergoing since I updated to 7.1.1.

I'm thinking of ditching the Pixel and Nougat to go back to the Moto X Pure phone with Marshmallow ROM's and Xposed.

I really, really miss my old Moto X Pure with it's minimal bezels, louder speakers and better vibration, etc.

I'll need to use it on Fi though, since I'm locked into my plan a while longer thanks to financing.

The Moto X Pure works on Fi for everything but Sprint and WiFi calling.

But I don't remember ever seeing my Pixel use Sprint before. It's always on T-Mobile. I'm in north Austin, TX.

And I don't make calls much, so WiFi calling isn't important to me.

Have you ever seen your phone with Fi jump onto Sprint before?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jawmail:
My Pixel XL w/ Fi is on Sprint maybe 10% of the time, I'm near Chicago so both networks are everywhere but the phone definitely prefers TMO. Traveling it still uses TMO more. I use Signal Check Lite. Ironically now at home it's on Sprint where usually it's strictly TMO.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
When I first got Project Fi the service strongly preferred Sprint and I had to manually change networks sometimes because it would stay on Sprint even when the signal was bad. Now it's on T-Mobile 90% of the time and Sprint 10% of the time. Does everything work Ok with your Moto? I've read that some people have problems with text messaging or voicemail if they use Fi with a non-Google phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
Before I went to Verizon from fi, my 5x and pixel both strongly preferred Sprint. I would have to force it to T-Mobile and us-cellular all the time.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
not my experience but my coworkers, he's 100% tmobile unless he goes out of town then he will switch to sprint where tmobile lacks coverage.

Sprint is terrible in El Paso, TX. Where we work there's a tmo tower less than 500ft away from us so that's why he's always Tmobile.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
One thing I've noticed about Project Fi, Sprint and the Pixel XL is that the Sprint signal is pretty lousy compared to the one I got when I actually had Sprint and a dedicated CDMA phone. I had Sprint for years and I always had full bars almost everywhere in the city. With the Pixel XL and Project Fi if my phone is on Sprint I don't know that I've ever had full bars. I know there's nothing wrong with the Sprint network where I live but my Pixel gets a much stronger signal from T-Mobile.
