- An old firmware image that LG no longer fully supports

- Household sharing limits reached for LG
Fix steps
FIX- Cold-start the device after a one-minute unplug; skip quick-start/sleep modes until WEBOS-UPDATE is gone.
- Make sure the TV OS and LG are both current; mismatched versions often keep WEBOS-UPDATE alive.
- Clear cache for LG and related services (store/Play Services), then reopen the app.
- Change the TV DNS to public resolvers, forget Wi‑Fi, reconnect, and retry LG.
