What Hacker News says

2 sources
https://cani.rootmy.tv/?q=OLED42C2PUA at least here the one listed method for webOS 24 is patched. What is the method you mention? A top google result seems to be [1], which says > All release versions of webOS 9 ("webOS 24") are patched. This means 2024 models and older TVs that have been upgraded to webOS 9 will require another exploit such as faultmanager-autoroot [2]. and [2] says > As of 2025-08-24, the latest firmware for essentially all LG models running webOS 5, 6, 7, and 9 is patched.
