How to Unbrick Qualcomm Devices via QFIL


 Here are some steps to unbrick your Qualcomm device via the QFIL Tool. Step into custom development & then you can flash custom ROMs, recoveries, & can also obtain access to the system partition simply by rooting the device by using Magisk. But, this Trying these tweaks brings in a few risks. In most cases, your device ends up in a bootloop or soft-bricked state.


However, in such cases, you are able to bring your device back to a new life just by flashing the firmware by using the Fastboot Commands or Android Flash Tool. But, the real problem arises at the time when your device turns hard-bricked, as you can’t access the Fastboot/FastbootD Modes. Thankful to the Qualcomm chipset, your Pixel device (till the fifth series) offers a basic Emergency Download Mode. In most cases, your device will boot to this Mode as soon as it is bricked.


Along with your Pixel booted to Qualcomm’s EDL Mode, you are able to flash the MBN Programmer, rawprogram0.xml, & patch0.xml files via the Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) Tool, & therefore unbrick it.
