Getting started

From the project's README ("How it works"):

  1. Enter your TV's local IP in the web UI
  2. Accept the SSAP pairing prompt on the TV
  3. jsbro launches the dangbei-overlay app via SSAP, which downloads a root-persistence script and uses the jsserver service to execute it as root
  4. The script installs Homebrew Channel and removes the Developer Mode app if present
  5. A dialog on the TV shows the result—on success, reboot to activate persistent root

jsbro requires the dangbei-overlay app (present on most webOS 7+ firmwares). The tool checks for its existence automatically.
