# LG webOS Firmware Guide
### Checking Installed Firmware
Check the recommended firmware version for your Samsung device from the [webOS Firmware Matrix](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSiFlOX8oFmNYVRtVyQh9MyIvpF4xa-U4V7LSVlcAerElmmAo4qYJP6Wb-2wmZv-70ryON-FiGjrjH4/pubhtml?gid=0\&single=true)
You can now compare this to the currently installed version. This information can be found in two locations:
1. ### Dashboard Menu
Press the **Home** button on your remote to reveal the webOS dashboard. You will see the currently installed firmware version listed in brackets, under the `Signage Name` entry:
### 2. System Settings menu
Press the Settings cog button on your remote control to open the **Settings** window. Choose the `General` option, followed by `System Information`
You will now see the firmware version listed under the `S/W Version` entry:
### Upgrading Firmware
You can update the firmware on a LG webOS monitor via a **USB** or remotely using the **Control Manager** built into the device.
{% hint style="info" %}
To obtain a copy of the latest firmware for your device, you can contact LG support or contact us by opening a [Ticket](https://xibosignage.com/my-account/tickets?open=true) via My Account
{% endhint %}
### Local Upgrade via USB
1. Create a folder in the root directory of a USB storage device
2. Rename the folder to LG\_MONITOR
3. Copy the Firmware EPK into the folder
4. Connect the USB to the monitor and a message will appear on screen
5. You will receive confirmation once the update is complete
### Remote Upgrade using Control Manager
{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to have a saved copy of the firmware EPK saved on the machine you plan to use for the remote upgrade
{% endhint %}
* Using a machine on the same local network as your webOS device, open a web browser and go to the private IP address for that webOS device
You must use the http protocol. For example if the private IP for your device is 192.186.1.100, you will need to enter `https://192.168.1.100:3737`
{% hint style="info" %}
You may be taken to a page that confirms that the connection is insecure. To proceed you will need to select `Advanced options` and choose to proceed to that IP address
{% endhint %}
1. A password entry page will open which includes a 4 digit code for authentication
2. Enter the password for your device and the 4 digit code
3. Choose `login`
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have not used this functionality before, there will be a default password set for your device. You can find this password in the device manual.
{% endhint %}
Once logged in, you will see 3 options:
1. Select `Control Manager`
2. You will see menu options on the left hand side of the screen. Click the `Device Control` option to reveal the `S/W Update` option, as shown in the screenshot below:
You can now upload the firmware you have downloaded to your device using the `Browse` button to locate the EPK on your local machine.
### Downgrading Firmware
You may find on occasion that you need to revert to a previous firmware. If this should happen, you will need to override the standard settings to force the device to install an older version.
This can be completed locally on the device:
* Follow the steps outlined for the [**Local Upgrade via USB**](#local-upgrade-via-usb) method.
* After you connect your prepared USB to your device, press the `Settings` cog button on your remote control.
* Highlight the `General` option and press the `7` key on your remote **seven times** until the `Software Update` page opens.
* You will see the option to select the firmware on your connected USB. Press the `Update` button to start the upgrade.
You will receive a confirmation message once complete.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/kb/media-players/lg-webos-firmware-guide.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
