[Tutorial] How to use QFIL to flash to a single partition on Qualcomm
Follow the steps below to flash a single partition on a qualcomm android phone using Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL)
See the video tutorial below or at https://youtu.be/MdknZvaTwl4Quote:In this video tutorial, i'm going to be showing how to flash a single partition on a qualcomm android phone using QFIL tool, that is qualcomm flash image loader tool
So to do this, of course we will need to have programmer file for our device
you can search online for yours or randomly try programmer file for your chipset type or you can get it from your firmware
you'll need to install qualcomm USB drivers and of course you'll need to install QPST tool
So for the sake of this tutorial, i have here this phone that currently has a custom recovery but i need to flash stock recovery
So as you can see, this is TWRP recovery
So to do this, i shall power off the phone then i'll quickly launch QFIL tool by searching for it
Now i'll need to boot the phone into EDL mode to do this, this particular phone uses vol up + vol down then you connect the phone but for your phone model, you can quickly search online how to boot into edl mode for your phone model
so vol up + vol down then i connect the phone, QFIL will detect the comport
if your does not detect automatically, click select port, select the right port then click OK
Now click flat build, click select programmer file browse then select your programmer file
So next thing we want to do is that we will need to change the storage type, if your device uses a different storage type other than emmc, you might need to come here and change the option for it
So this particular device uses emmc so i'll leave it at emmc
Next we'll click tools, partition manager, click OK
Once partition manager opens it'll list all the partitions on your device
now i have here my stock recovery image
so to write for recovery partition, i'll simply right click on it, manage partition data, load image then i'll select the file and open
Now in order not to get errors while writing a particular file ensure that the file name you're writing has no space in it
spaces usually cause while trying to write
so basically we've written the image, you've seen it, finish send image and there are no errors
we can close now, close, this will attempt to reset the phone back to homescreen
So as you can see, the phone is trying to boot back to homescreen
let me quickly interrupt this process
so here we have stock recovery
so that's how you flash a single partition on a qualcomm android phone using QFIL, that's QFIL tool
