I have a Nexus 6p that wouldn’t Turn on with Black screen . But only Connects as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) on windows 11 or windows 10 which I have the two options on my PC and I am asking for the Correct Flash Files for QFIL to work from the Sahara Error message each time I tried to Flash the phone that already in EDL Mode

Hi hovatek thanks for the Flash Files for my Dead Hard Brick Nexus 6p .i tried all Day with alot of different QPST with QFIL versions old and new....along with your firmware flash files and still getting all different types of errors including same sahara error.... cant even get to see the Blue icon flashing process as shown from your Vidoes showing how to flash the phone and everything along on how to install the Qualcomm Drivers and everything and nothing works. i think this motherboard may need changing or something... i am truly said too behonest that i cant get the phone to flash without errors

Maybe the firehose is incompatible.
I believe:
1. You don't boot into EDL before you start loading the files in QFIL
2. You are using the QFIL that comes with QPST and not a standalone version of QFIL
