Thanks. But I'm lost when it says "HEX.hex and MS.img"etc.
I'm a noob
I'm gonna unbrick this Lumia 640 though. I know it.
You'll see... :good:
Ok, ask in that thread so that folks there can help. Also if you read through that thread you will see many answers to your questions.

Open Windows Device Recovery tool
Click on My device is not detected,
click on lumia,
Windows Device recovery tool may ask you what RM it is and then will download emergency payloads for you and start flashing the phone.
You can as well just download emergency files from lumiafirmware.com and do the steps described in the recover your phone from dload thread. Hex and bins are for older models.

Thx, the device is dead so I can't recover with wdrt ,says my model (RM-1074) is not supported
But I'll look into that thread . I got up to passing the first command ,but as I said, I was lost after that
Also after it finishes and I enter the next command it says it can't find hex and ms.img
I give up. ?

go here, download the files in the zip file.
Run this command while making sure you replace <pathtodownloadedede/edp> with the proper path to both files, if you still get a file not found issue, please screenshot the command you typed in cmd as well as the path of the files:
Code:
thor2.exe -mode emergency -hexfile "<pathtodownloadedede/edp>\MPRG8x26_fh.ede" -edfile "<pathtodownloadedede/edp>\RM1096_fh.edp"
And don't give up, it's 100% sure you can unbrick this phone, you just have to be patient and properly do things

So if I place the folder containing the files in "C:/lumia" what would the proper command be
For some reason I have to type a ".\" before every command (?)
The model is RM_1074 . if you look at the screenshot it is wrong and just proceeds to the next line with a blinking cursor
Apologies ,haven't slept in over 24 hours
Remove "cd C:\lumia".
type only thor2.exe -mode emergency -hexfile "c:\lumia\MPRG8x26_fh.ede" -edfile "c:\lumia\RM1096_fh.edp"

Here's the " lumia" folder in c: drive :laugh:
Lol it fails every time I try. In admin ,normal ,with/without ".\" , see Gdrive link
1. c:/Microsoft care suite/Windows Device Recovery Tool/ " :laugh:
start a power shell, enter the EXACT command. Lol I tried it about ten times
I bet you can't guess what happens.. :laugh::laugh:....
It just exits. And.. That's it.
No process, no "flashing phone" .. :silly: ;
Soo, I guess my phones f##ked. Thanks.
But I appreciate the efforts. I have been awake for 30 hours. I have my 930 rooted and unlocked etc.
My 640 cannot be restored I'm sure of it. There's no firmware on it it failed when I tried to restore the software with wdrt about 8 months ago after a Botchy insider build bricked it
:highfive: thanks anyway .
When using powershell from the WDRT directory you have to execute the thor2 command file as so:
.\thor2.exe
Run it like this:
Code:
.\thor2.exe -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\lumia\MPRG8x26_fh.ede" -edfile "C:\lumia\RM1096_fh.edp"
Just copy and paste
or open cmd prompt (click start and type cmd) and paste this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool\thor2.exe" -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\lumia\MPRG8x26_fh.ede" -edfile "C:
\lumia\RM1096_fh.edp"
Thanks. Its not going to work
I just opened cmd and copied the command . didn't work
I think I've made enough of an idiot of myself so I'd appreciate it if no one makes any more comments

No worries at all man... Seems like it is still could be a signature mismatch then. You have a Lumia 640 LTE right? RM-1074 .

hi, tried to search everywhere but to no avail soo far.. does anyone knows if there is an existing root guide for LG G4 Beat? its sort of a diff model but there's no sub for it so i guess ill put it at here since its still under G4 family.. :/
Do you have Android 5.0 or 5.1 installed?
First of all. Before you start to try root, download the kdz file for your phone.
The kdz is needed if something went wrong (e.g. phone not booting).
You can use the LG Flash Tool to flash the kdz to a bricked phone.
Use this link with your IMEI:
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI
If it works, please post the download link for the "kdz".
Or better post the output too, but delete your IMEI!
Your link will only work if you type:
csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=
and then add the rest of your url instead of the given link.
It's worth trying. You need to get a partition layout. Then @autoprime will give a full command to run in DL mode for dumping the system image, and flashing it once it's been injected with root. I can inject it for you once you have the system.img dump.
I wrote an guide how you can extract the GPT and calculate the dd parameters:
[How to] Determine dd Parameters For All LG G4 Models
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/h...lg-g4-t3184867
Do you know how to work with linux?
Please post the outputs of gdisk into a HIDE and CODE tag. Thank you.
Maybe you are a advanced user and can Inject root yourself with the autoroot.sh method (Inject_Root_G4.zip)?
Or do you need help?
I think you have Android 5.1.1 installed, so it is not possible to use Kingroot to root your device. Is that right?

Pleasure.
I think some people also knew how to do it, but no one wanted to write a guide.
AND ALWAYS CONSIDER:
You can brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
Backup your files before you change anything.

Ok, well done. Is 10b the same version as currently installed on your device?
Some other details would be interesting:
Do you have an unbranded device?
Where did you buy it / where do you live? (country)
Are you an advanced user? Do you know how to work with linux?
The next steps will be:
Calculate your dd parameters and backup your system partition into a img file. Read my guide:
[How to] Determine dd Parameters For All LG G4 Models
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/h...lg-g4-t3184867
Please post the outputs of gdisk into a HIDE and CODE tag.
Post your calculated dd parameters, so that we can verify it.
IMPORTANT: Keep the original (unchanged) system.img on your computer (zip it).
Then:
Copy the img file to a linux system and mount it. Create a testfile (test.txt) on the mounted system partition.
Copy the img file back to your phone and try to "dd" it back over your system partition.
Check if you see the testfile on your system partition.
If that worked you have successfully overwritten your system partition.
Then:
Try to inject root with the Inject_Root_G4.zip on your linux system.
Copy the new img file to your phone and "dd" it over your system partition.
Please ask if you are not 100% sure what to do.
You are responsible for what you are doing with your device.
Backup all your data (photos, videos, messages...) before going one step further.

what do u mean 10b?
not really unbranded i guess? its a mid-tier version of the LG G4.. this is the phone.. http://www.lg.com/sg/mobile-phones/lg-G4-Beat
dont think its out at the US yet
bought it at Singapore as i recontacted my phone
nope i dont know how to use linux and im %100 not sure what to do :crying:
Ok so you are not a advanced user?
10b is the version of the kdz file. Goto Settings->Phone info->software version on your phone and post your software version.
First of all: It is not possible to root your phone without linux!
You don't have to install a linux on your computer (physically) but at least in an virtual environment (virtualbox, vmware player) or as a live distribution.
What you can do without linux is try to extract the GPT.
Which OS is installed on your computer (Win 7, 8, 10)?
Download the LG_Root.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
It contains the Send_Command.exe
You need this tool to open a special console when your phone is in download mode.
Do you know this tool and how to enter the download mode?

no im not an advanced user..
its software version is : V10b-SEA-XX
so i guess its a 10b?
im using windows 7 right now
Yes you have 10b installed now.
The XX means that it is unbranded.
SEA means southeast asia.
Win 7 is fine. Send_Command will work.

We won't follow the guide. We will do it like here:

(You will also find the thread is linked there.)
The thread is just a good help for the Send_Command tool.
You don't have to change the COM port.
Are you in download mode? Do you see the "Firmware Update" screen?
Use the ports.bat and note the "netdiag" COM port.
Inside of LG_Root folder hold shift and right click a blank space you should see "Open command window here"

oh okay means im on the right path..
so now i just do this as follows?
Type "id" and press enter (no quotes).
You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root". If not, press CTRL-C, and do step 9 again (the application sometimes doesn't respond on the first command).
Run the command specified in the section below titled 'Commands to Run' to flash the rooted system image.
After a few minutes of sitting, you should get back a "#" prompt. This indicates the process has finished.
Type "LEAVE" (no quotes) and press enter. Your phone should reboot, and your phone will be rooted.

Thanks again for the help, I am currently restoring the phone using Windows Device Recovery Tool to start fresh. I will try CustomPFD and report back any progress.
I am trying to install CustomPFD and am getting error 0X81030120 now and it fails. This is on a fresh reset phone with no modifications other than enabling Developer Mode.
How do you install CustomPFD without getting the error?
I am using XAPdeployment to install.

I jsut noticed that in the Info section of the phone it now says ACERINC whch is one of the things I tried changing the phone registry to for manufacturer so......maybe I'm making progress here? I really don't know. Could not get either of the above to install.
Following it... only via W10 for desktop, no way for the remote registry editing via Windows 7 Professional?

Ok, link was posted. I downloaded the file and installed it. Now the problem I have is when installing interop tools. I copy to SD card, click the dependency files to install then install interop tools by clicking on it. It doesn't show up as an app and doesn't show up in extras.

I just updated the OP again. And where did you see it should be in extras? Don't follow or read the older thread that got posted, go to the storage settings, make sure interop tools isn't listed at all, if it is, uninstall it, then download the current pre-release 8 of beta 1.9, and read carefully the instructions. You are required to install using device portal. If it failed, device portal should give you a specific error code. Just make sure to follow the installation instructions from the official thread and everything should go alright.
Edit: reopen the thread and download the other missing ndtk spkgs zip too. Forgot to include it.

Just make sure to follow the installation instructions from the official thread and everything should go alright.

Ok, let me give this another shot! Thanks for the help, it is appreciated!
NDTK files
Ok, Got the NDTK files installed and it is restarting...
..OK.. Success. IT is installed, I can browse files from my PC and delete them. I deleted the system apps I don't use such as Xbox, Get Help, Continuum, etc. They immediately force close when clicked on in the start menu but do not disappear when the phone is restarted. I noticed the app files showed back up under Data\SYSTEMAPPS as well.
Does anyone know how to permanently remove these apps from the start menu?

ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9
Congratulations! Hopefully 928a will have it soon

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.

if you can acces to recovery, the only thing you can do is adb sideload ...bin
with an original stock ROM for your fire phone
(.bin must be the extension of the file, that you can get from official amazon site)

Yes man, his phone is recovered and I had this error, solution for "cannot read" is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/adb-sideload-error-read-t3634246
Please, where can I find ME372CG files for xFSTK?
I want to restore bootloader of my ME372CG tablet.
I follow these instructions, which are for FE170CG:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/asus-fonpad-7-fe170cg-bricked-stuck-t3740819
But I did not find ME372CG files for xFSTK.
So I took them from official Asus ME372CG firmware (from UL-K00E-WW-7.6.0.0-user.zip).
I found different file names in ifwi folder and I am not sure, which to use fo xFSTK:
dnx_fwr_ctp_???.bin
ifwi_ctp_???.bin
CLVP_CSAB_FWR_DnX_20.29.bin
ME372CG_32_IFWI_v54.57_CSAB_PROD.bin
I could not find any Softfuse file either.
Most probably I do not have the correct files, because xFSTK download does not work.
The file names, which I used, and the result from xFSTK can be found here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cz8imzdrs1r551r/xFSTK_ME372CG files.JPG?dl=0
Where can I find the correct files for xFSTK?
Thank you very much.

Cause of malfunction:
My tablet reported some kind of UI error, so I restarted it (still within Android),
but it never started again. It just vibrates when switching on, always black screen (only almost unnoticeable flash of light on LCD, during switching on). The battery is full - I measured it.
Use this file, run as Administrator ME372CG Debrick.bat and connect your device.
https://gofile.io/d/P6Ja57
After that flash this raw file with asus flash tool and make sure to select right model name.

Hi, I received some suggestions from Teddy, but it did not work for me.
(I re-uploaded the files to Dropbox, so the links should work):
1. Download this zip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1s5i85hd22yqlct/CSC_ME372CG_Debrick.7z?dl=0
2. Extract with 7-zip on your Desktop
3. Open extracted CSC_ME372CG_Debrick file ---> Right click on ME372CG Debrick.bat left click on Run as Administrator. And it should look like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3yulpxt70rn6ly/non-Administrator ME372CG Debrick.bat.png?dl=0
If that doesn't show up install this minimal adb and fastboot command
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgr1ljdm13owlrs/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.1_setup.exe?dl=0
Here is tutorial how to install:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
4. If the tool doesn't recognise your device press VOL + or VOl - and connect your device with pc while you are holding one of volume buttons.....

After I informed Teddy that it does not work for me,
he suggested this:
See this tutorial for another device to get the point, reinstall drivers and try again debrick files. Softfuse file I can't find for your device but with debrick.bat is trick for seconds I thing to get recognized to start flashing partition and firmware....

or buy package and download files for XFSTK.

I tried that but it didn't work. Actually it's because we lost fastboot and droidboot.
About those xFSTK files, we can acquire them from rom (zip/raw). there is a zip file called "ifwi.zip" in the rom package.
I follow this tutorial to debrick it but I didn't make it:crying:
