After a few weeks of going in and out of many forums including xda and failing to find a confirmed guide for SU640 that would work, I have finally come up with a guide of my own.
Thanks to xda developers community.
I am using some tools that i have downloaded from multiple threads on XDA but I don't have the links / names . So feel free to link me to your post if that tool belongs to you and I will add your name in acknowledgements.
guide can be found at wiredsoup.blogspot.com
Moderators:
if xda policy doesnt allow linking to external sites for tutorials, please inform me and I'll copy paste the tutorial here.
Have fun Su640 folks
I tried that procedure in that site mentioned above.
When I press Start Upgrade, it says "Checking for New LGMobile update programe" and this keeps on coming again and again and again.
Nothing seems to happen.
What do i do now?

Add the following line to the end of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
I added that line to the host file, still gave the same problem.
So I tried to flash using KDZ FW Update tool but it always stops responding.
It says "UP MarvinTest something somethings has stopped responding"
I tried this on 2 different computers and still the same.
Any solutions?

maybe you saved your hosts file as a text file ... make sure your hosts file does not have any extension.
Thanks a lot

Hi guys, I have not been on this forum since I was rooting my Hero last year. Anyway, I decided to try to root my EVO and found the auto root method. But when I try to download the zip file I get an error message. I tried to download it from all 5 links from this page http://www.multiupload.com/9S4BOSZITN
Which was from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
So can someone give me a link that works or something?
I posted a similar question in the "HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root" thred. I would be lying if I said i wasn't a bit impatient and frustrated. It has taken me 5 hours of trying to download this file from all 5 different links. So sorry for the multiple posts.
P.S. the error message I am getting is :
AutoRoot_v2.3.zip.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator.
Do you by any chance trying to download this on your work computer possibly controlled by active directory ?
Nope, home computer. Never had any problems downloading anything before. As a matter of fact, I had downloaded the "RUU to restore 3.70.651.1 " from the same thred without a hitch.
Thanks for the reply
This usually happens on computers with restrictions or when trying to save file at bad media (some drives etc). Have no idea about 3rd option at this point
Edit: You can try again using different browser....
Well, that sucks! I'm just confused as to why I was able to download every other file I needed except that one.....
Grrrr.
Shoot me a PM with your email and I can send it to you if you want
I tried PM'ing twice.....not sure if you got them, but sent items = 0
Having issues trying to email. Might have to keep trying the mirrors.

My device is bricked and when I tried to flash V10F_00.kdz via LGMobile Support Tool, I got error message "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update." So if anyone knows another way to downgrade/upgrade software, I'll be happy to try.
Try V10i_00.kdz

I can't. Update tool says I have a latest software version and I don't need to update my phone. I tried to flash v10i yesterday, but something gone wrong and it stopped. And now my version is v10i, but I can't get into recovery, adb, I just can get into download mode and factory reset, but reset doesn't work too. Only possible way I see, it's waiting for new software version. But how long?
Are you being sure you have the right updater? It should be the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe file...it will install the kdz regardless of the version, etc. You have to have the mobile tool installed as well but don't use it...just the marwin.exe

Of cause I used UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe
Very interesting I spoke with people who have the same problem. They got the same message from update tool like me. It seems like LG blocked something in their update server. Everyone who tried restore their rom to v10i version by update tool can't do this.
What if you disable internet on your computer?
I'm gonna try this method anyway, I still have nothing to lose, but how it may help?
I disabled internet on my computer and launched the update tool, and got this message "Please, check your internet line and excute program again." Then I tried to launch update via KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and got pop-up window with this message "Program "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application" stopped running. Close program."
From another board, maybe it,s worth a shot
When you run the Update tool, don't have the G2x plugged into the USB port. Once the App is running plug the G2x in and wait for it to be recognized... Does it still say that it is up todate? In the upper right of the Update tool windows, does it show the Model of the G2x and below that, it should show the version, something like 10F? Are there any letters at the end of the model No like "LG-P999DW-DU" OR LG-P999DWR" ??
There were a couple of Variants of the Model No that weren't recognized by the upda
OK, got it! 20th time's a charm! The key thing, after doing all the prep work as directed on the website, do not connect the phone until AFTER you launch the LGMobile Support Tool. This was suggested to me by the LG Forum Moderator.
However, the LGMST did not launch correctly until many attempts. Sometimes it seemingly launched but the text was a bunch of question marks. Other times I received a message stating the server would be down for several days in July 2011. Sometimes I tried to launch it and was told it was already running. I would have to go into the Task Manger and terminate the process.
When it finally launched correctly, the text was all legible and in the upper right-hand corner the app correctly identified my model (LGP999DW) and version (10F as I recall). Then I was told to connect the phone and the "Start Updating" bar was activated. I selected the Start Updating bar and the process commenced taking about thirty minutes.
You are clearly instructed to not disconnect the phone etc. Also, you are told that your phone will restart upon completion of the update. Be advised, the phone restart takes several minutes and then you finally are back to your familiar phone environment. I did not select the "Exit" button from the LGMST until my phone was fully booted.

he same problem, but I think that all depends on the lg suite. or the site that you download it. I tried in two different sites and finally I succeed in both, pc and lap top. try to uninstall and re-install the lg suite from different sites.
doesn't work..
Thx anyway!
Request: LG G3 F460 file. Phone is screwed up after reseting the phone. "rooted"
Hey guys I need help and I think you are the only people that can help me.
I have the Korean version of the LG G3 cat 6 460s. I rooted the phone using stump root and everything is fine.
today I decided to reset the phone and I did. now every time I power on the phone it prompt me for the initial setup of the phone, the volume up and down keys no longer works, notification doesn't work. the home button icon doesn't even work " only back button on the screen lol "
I tried to do hard reset by turning off the phone and holding the power and volume down button method but it doesn't work.
the only method I believe or I think I have a chance is with flash tool. but I really need the files required for this model. where can I get them.
is their an LG official pc suit for this model I can download from LG directly ? am I $%#ed ?
please help me in this I don't want an expensive paperweight phone
Lgbbs.net. did you check there?
This shouldn't be in development.
I honestly do not know where this should be in. but I figured this section is where most tech people who are into flashing roms will be available and I need help. sorry if it this is in the wrong section.
I did look into that site. they are charging 800 credits for it and each 50 credit is like 1$. so that file is 16$.
its not much and I will go for it if I do not have any alternative.
please guys let me know if there is any
also. which one do I need ? KDZ or TOT ?
I got the files. If you have some place to upload them I can share them to you (and everyone). Happened exactly the same to me.

Happened to me too. You need to delete some media device added when you connect the phone (thats what windows thinks it is) so it can auto-detect it again correctly.
Uploading the files now. I got a ****ty upload speed so be patient.

Sorry, just got that you have the "other devices" so forget about the multimedia thing I said. You have to change the drivers (normally one of them is from microsoft) to the ones from LG (by updating manually and finding the inf in you HD manually). Windows will say the driver is not compatible but you can ignore that.

I couldnt upload to the one you suggested so I ended up with google drive:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3_3P8VBnuo2MGZvLXp6UVk3eTQ&usp=sharing
There is de DLL and a text file with the address in MEGA for the TOT file.
Tell me if you have any trouble.
After the whole process you will end with a blue or green screen (dont remember), dont worry, just reboot and you will be back on stock.
Good luck
Thank you. I will update later when I get home. Thanks again mate

Similar thing happened to me too, after I screwed up the file system. Download LG Flash Tool 2014 and the applicable .KDZ ROM, select normal, then wait for 100%
Oh and this does not wipe your device.
Edit: does not belong in Development, you have years experience and should know better.
Please post help and questions threads in the QUESTION AND ANSWER / TROUBLESHOOTING thread.

Dude, this post is not a valid one.
To solve your error, extract the stock ROM files in a close directory to the pathname like ( c:\Stock\) .
ANd the next error you did was u did not launch qfil using admin rights.
do both the steps and try flashing stock.
hope I helped you. press the thanks button if so.:laugh:
@Az Biker
Try QFIL 2.7.460.

Ok after successfully flashing my zuk z2 plus this is what i have to say about sahara.
I Still dont know why this error happens, i reinstalled new windows after which i followed the whole step. basically a fresh start.
although there are lots of tutorial available in youtube and xda dev forms the one i suggest is attached below:
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-z2131-only.104/
and for youtube walkthrough there is this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSHX-9S_oRc
now there are multiple workaround mentioned which i don't claim to be not useful or useful, but may workout for you:
shortening the path of zui rom from where it will be flashed: they recommend to past it directly to root of a drive
running the QPST Application with admin privileges which i would personally recommend
Disable Driver Signature Verification through out the process:
Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
Click Update and Security.
Click on Recovery.
Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Startup Settings.
Click on Restart.
On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
You can search in google for more accurate steps, but one of the issue i faced was in latest version of window 10 i couldn't see the startup setting straight away. but at the bottom there is a link for additional option where you will find it.
[*]Downgrading to lower version or Upgrading to Higher Version QPST which for me, personally seems misleading and suggest you to stay with latest version
[*] and Last which i think made mine work, that is to reinstall Zuk Driver if there is an error which is persistent
HAPPY FLASHING

A really simple solution is to use MiFlash @mi-globe.com/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool-all-versions instead of any others along with the Qualcomm QDLoader drivers @AndroidFileHost.com
I had the problem but when i flashed the proper firmware in order, the problem resolved itself
ps i used an old version of qfil 2.0.xxx or something idk
Here used to be a bad guide please don't follow it I learned that people where rightfully pissed at me and I have decided to replace it with this Im gonna flash lineage again and document my exact procedure and try to make a better guide than the garbage I posted here.

The reason is losq-v is the start of the filename pretty sure you can just press tab and it will autocomplete so the command would be "fastboot flash system losq-v"(after losq-v type rest of your filename or press tab to autocomplete (do not add a space in between losq-v and rest of filename))
Sry for forgetting that I did it like that to future proof the guide

Posting "tutorials" in XDA is something else than copy and paste things you expect to work but never tested yourself.

Odin Recovery Fails
I go step by step but when I hit start on Odin to flash recovery I get two error messages
1. one in Odin in the log section with the following message "failed (auth)"
2. the other on the phone in the download mode in red something along the lines "you can only install official binaries"
I searched the forums and found a few suggestions, turning on USB debugging, applying magisk patches etc.... I never saw anyone confirming any method that would have worked. Whatever I tried to do it either didn't work or I couldn't do it because of lack of skills or it wasn't possible. For example when I tried to use magisk in the descriptions I had install buttons in the manger but I'm missing these on my phone so I suspect that recovery is required first to make those patches or there's something that I don't know how to do it. Either way following the instructions doesn't work for me and I tried a bunch of things and none worked. Different versions of Odin 3.14.1, 3.14.4. If anyone has any idea please help. I reset the whole phone to factory hoping it would help, there's no data on it right now but I still get the same error.
Thanks

To back to original Android:
-Odindownload.com last Odin
- https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases download samfirm reborn and use it to get latest original Samsung firmware
Unzip it with 7-ZIP !!!!!! www.7-zip.org
On the Odin website there is a YouTube video how to proceed. But do NOT use any PIT file you find somewhere like the vid shows in example, you will almost for sure brick it if you don't know exact exactly what you r doing! Be warned!
After unzipping you see files beginning with AP BL CP CSC , put them in Odin where they should be.
Under options ONLY mark AutoReboot and F reset time and nothing else.
I hope you get your phone back to working state with this, remember you will not be able to get updates OTA any more since you broke the Efuse.
From there on if I were you I only would root the phone and wait till official TWRP is out, or hopefully some day an official LineageOS.
So far nothing official means lack of maintanance after a while, no updates, bugs, bad assistance and more crap, just like this thread is written by someone who gathered info from just here and there and made this "tutorial" with copy and paste and added b.s. for trying to become a star on Telegram-ish group and look populair there.
Just Root it, debloat it and live with it.

Thanks andreoide for your honest answer :good:
My phone's working, I didn't get far with it, never broke it, just unlocked it. I guess the installation failed during the validation before actually doing any physical changes because my Samsung stock system still runs. The phone is given to me by my company. I just took out the sim card and put it in my private dual-sim phone. So this phone is on the shelf, it's been there for the last few months. I wish I could use it it's higher end than my personal but can't deal with Samsung stock system. I had two phones with lineage (and whatever the name was before) and loved it so I'm hoping I can use it again.
Anyway, it was just explaining my situation, I guess I'll be checking this forum and hoping for more positive news. Meanwhile the phone goes back on the shelf and waits for better times, thanks again for straitening things up for me. :good:
