F&U FLA4320UH 17MB170 VES430QNDB-2D-N41 Firmware SW ID 405924R Expired Download Links

User question

Where can i find the file that is expired and solved the problem? Can you send a message at yokoono51?

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

• The firmware package that other owners of the F & U FLA4320UH (main board 17MB170, panel VES430QNDB-2D-N41) used to recover their sets was shared in the Elektroda.com service-technician thread “Firmware Needed for FLA4320UH…”.
• The last publicly posted mirrors were:
https://files.fm/u/9awb2m43pn (uploaded by user yokoono51, time-limited)
https://www.file-upload.net/download-15489293/20210211.zip.html (re-uploaded by user GIANNIS19)
If those links have already timed-out, (a) register on Elektroda and politely ask the original posters to refresh the links, or (b) search for Vestel USB package “SW ID 405924R” that matches board 17MB170 + panel VES430QNDB-2D-N41 in other Vestel-oriented repositories.
• I cannot send a private message to user yokoono51 on your behalf; you will need to do that yourself via the forum’s internal messaging system.


Detailed problem analysis

  1. Hardware/firmware relationship
     • 17MB170 is a Vestel Smart-TV Android main board family.
     • Correct firmware is panel-dependent; using a build for, say, VES430QNDB-2D-N42 will boot but show a distorted or blank picture.
     • Vestel bundles are distributed as USB “upgrade.bin” files (partial update) or full NAND/eMMC dumps (4 GB) for programming with a fixture. “SW ID 405924R” is the Vestel production image that matches your set.

  2. Why links expire
     • Free hosts (files.fm, file-upload.net, mediafire, etc.) delete files after 7-30 days of inactivity.
     • Forum rules often forbid attaching >100 MB directly, forcing members to use expiring hosts.

  3. Recovery strategy when links are dead
     a) Return to the thread → click “Send PM” next to yokoono51 or GIANNIS19 → request re-upload.
     b) Reply publicly; many members keep local copies and will refresh the link.
     c) Widen search terms:
      “upgrade_mb170_ves430qndb2dn41*.bin”
      “405924R 17MB170 full dump”
      “SWID 405924 VES430QNDB”
     d) Cross-brand search: Vestel sold the same board/panel combination under Hitachi 43HAE4350, JVC LT-43CA790, Telefunken T43FX275, etc. Firmware header still contains 405924R.
     e) Commercial databases:
      – sat4sat-service,
      – remont-aud.net (RU),
      – ts-panel.com (paid).

  4. Flashing guidelines (USB method)
     • FAT32-format ≤8 GB stick → copy upgrade.bin (or the entire package).
     • Unplug TV → insert stick → keep OK on remote → plug mains → wait LED fast-flash → release.
     • Process 4-10 min; power loss bricks eMMC.
     • After reboot perform “First Time Installation” to regenerate NVRAM.

  5. What if TV still fails after correct firmware?
     • eMMC wear-out is widespread on 17MBxx. Symptom: loops at Android logo or draws 0 .26 A and resets.
     • Remedy: replace eMMC (BGA169) with new KLM8G1GETF-B041 or SanDisk SDINBDG4-8G, program full dump, then do OTA update to 405924R.


Current information and trends

• Vestel stopped publishing public USB packages in 2023; service centres now pull images through the Vestel “E-service” VPN.
• Technicians therefore rely on community archives; several Discord groups (e.g. “Vestel SW Vault”) have begun to mirror the entire legacy catalogue.
• Newer 17MB211/17MB230 boards changed to A/B slot eMMC partitions and CRC-signed packages – older 17MB170 images remain unsigned and can still be side-loaded.


Supporting explanations and details

• Why USB update sometimes fails while full dump works: the boot-loader (UBL) and Android vendor partitions are not touched by USB partial packages. If those are corrupted the TV never reaches the USB update routine. A serial console shows “Fastboot init fail”. Full ISP programming is then mandatory.
• File-name anatomy example:
mb170_ves430qndb2dn41_2G_4K1G_android_pnd_G10_405924R.pkg
 mb170 → board family
 ves430qndb2dn41 → panel
 2G 4K1G → DDR3/Flash size
 G10 → Android 10 branch
 405924R → production SWID


Ethical and legal aspects

• Firmware binaries are copyrighted by Vestel Elektronik ◦ supplying them without licence may infringe IP rights.
• Use only for legitimate repair of hardware you own.
• Distributing modified images that circumvent HDCP or region-locking is illegal in many jurisdictions.
• Observe electrical-safety rules (isolate set, use differential-RCD) while servicing live PSU sections.


Practical guidelines

  1. Before flashing: photograph sticker on T-Con to double-check panel code.
  2. Use a UPS if mains supply is unstable.
  3. Keep the original SPI dump (W25Q64FV) as a fall-back; a CH341A programmer is <$10.
  4. After successful recovery, disable “Auto-update” in Android settings to avoid Vestel pushing a mismatched generic build.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Any download links listed above may already be offline again; always create a local mirror once obtained.
• There are rare sub-revisions (N41-RevB) that need timing-tables not present in 405924R; display will have vertical stripes. If so, you need SWID 407633R.


Suggestions for further research

• Follow Vestel serial console diagnostics – pad CN12 (UART3, 115 200 8N1).
• Investigate open-source Vestel Android TV rooting projects that back-up eMMC over fastboot.
• Monitor forums (Elektroda, Badcaps, ForoDVD) for collective Vestel firmware archives.


Brief summary

The only verified firmware known to fix the F & U FLA4320UH black-screen/boot-loop issue is Vestel USB package SW ID 405924R. It was last mirrored by user yokoono51 on Elektroda (files.fm link) and re-mirrored by GIANNIS19 (file-upload link). If those mirrors have expired, re-contact those users via Elektroda’s PM system or post a new request; no external party can message them on your behalf. Once you obtain the package, follow the standard 17MB170 USB-recovery procedure, verify panel match, and observe power-loss safeguards.
