RootMyTV is a user-friendly browser-based exploit for rooting/jailbreaking LG webOS smart TVs, leveraging CVE-2022-23727 and CVE-2020-9759. It bootstraps installation of the webOS Homebrew Channel with elevated privileges to enable third-party software installation.
Use cases
- root my LG webOS smart TV
- jailbreak an LG TV to install homebrew apps
- install the webOS Homebrew Channel on my TV
- get root access on webOS for third-party app development
- unlock my LG TV firmware restrictions
When to choose
- you have an older LG webOS TV (2016-2021) with firmware predating mid-2022 patches
- you want a simple one-click rooting method that bootstraps the Homebrew Channel
- you want to study a documented webOS exploit chain with a full writeup
When to avoid
- your TV runs webOS 3.4.2+ (2016), 3.9.2+ (2017), 4.4.2+ (2018), 4.9.7+ (2019), 5.4.0+ (2020), or 6.3.0+ (2021), which are patched
- you have a 2022 or newer LG TV, or any TV that shipped with webOS 1, 2, 7, or 8
- you need a currently working exploit, since the vulnerabilities have been patched for years
