The one-click method has been patched, but there are other methods that will work if you haven't been religiously updating your TV:

Religiously updating my TV? It has been patched since spring, someone clicking by accident "yes" for the update notice that appears randomly on the middle of the screen in the past 9 months would ruin it. I was religously *not* updating my TV and it still got too new software for the exploit :')

My tv has never nor will ever touch the internet so problem solved re: updates.

My LG TV is a little over a year old now and I refuse to allow it to connect to the Internet, ever, so I guess RootMyTV would work fine for me?

It's totally possible! Check it at https://cani.rootmy.tv/. There are multiple exploits, search around

One day I will buy a new TV and develop a new one-click method... but for now I'm still rocking my B9.

Oh, hi! Love your work! I'll be rooting for you that day (though most likely after that day, unless you're a superhuman).
