dejavuln-autoroot
This is a tool to root LG TVs and automatically install Homebrew Channel. It uses DejaVuln, which works on webOS 3.5 and newer.
Instructions
- Extract the archive to the root directory of a USB drive. (It should be formatted with FAT32 or NTFS.)
- Plug the USB drive into your TV. (Make sure it's the only USB drive connected.)
- Open the USB drive in the Music app and browse to
lol$(sh$IFS\tmp\usb\sda\sda1
. - Try to play
autoroot.sh).mp3
. - After the pop-up messages tell you rooting is complete, eject the USB drive.
If you have the LG Developer Mode app installed, you must remove it before rebooting. Do not install it while your TV is rooted.
Troubleshooting
If the script fails, you must delete autoroot.once
from the USB drive before
it will run again.
A log file named autoroot.log
should be created on the USB drive.
You can enable additional logging by creating a file named autoroot.debug
in
the root directory of the USB drive.
On webOS 8 (webOS 23), you may have to try multiple times; it seems that
restarting appinstalld
does not reliably make it detect the existence of
devmode_enabled
.
Support
You can find more information at webosbrew.org.
If you need help rooting your TV, try the
OpenLGTV Discord. Before you ask a question,
check the FAQ (#faq) to see if it is answered there! Attach your autoroot.log
when asking for help.
