Step-by-Step Guide to Flashing Firmware Using eMMC DL Tool
-
Download and Extract eMMC DL Tool:
First, you need to download the eMMC DL Tool. Once downloaded, extract the tool to a convenient location on your computer. After extraction, you will see a set of files necessary for the flashing process. -
Install USB Drivers:
To ensure your computer can communicate with your Qualcomm device in EDL (Emergency Download) mode, you need to install the provided USB drivers. These drivers are essential for establishing a connection between your device and the eMMC DL Tool. -
Power Off Your Qualcomm Device:
Completely power off the Qualcomm mobile device that you intend to flash. Ensure the device is switched off to prepare it for the firmware installation process. -
Download Stock Firmware:
Download the correct stock firmware for your specific Qualcomm device model. If you haven’t already downloaded it, you can find firmware files on websites like FirmwareFile or by searching on Google with your device model number. Ensure you download the firmware that is compatible with your device. -
Launch eMMC Download Tool:
Open the eMMC Download Tool on your computer. Navigate to the extracted folder from Step 1 and run the eMMC DL Tool application to begin the firmware flashing process. -
Locate Firmware Folder:
In the eMMC DL Tool interface, click on the […] button. This will allow you to browse and select the folder where you have stored the downloaded stock firmware files. -
Firmware Folder Added Successfully:
Once you have selected the firmware folder, the eMMC Tool will load the firmware files. Verify that the firmware has been added correctly before proceeding to the next step. -
Connect Your Qualcomm Device in EDL Mode:
Connect your powered-off Qualcomm device to your computer using a USB cable. To enter EDL mode, typically you need to press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously while connecting the USB cable to your computer. -
Identify Device Port Number:
After connecting your device in EDL mode, you need to identify the port number assigned to your device. To do this, right-click on Computer or This PC, then select Manage and go to Device Manager. Under the “Ports (COM & LPT)” section, look for “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX)”. Note down the COM port number (COMXX). -
Enter Port Number in eMMC Tool:
In the eMMC DL Tool, enter the COM port number that you identified in Device Manager into the designated Port Number field. This step establishes the communication channel between the tool and your device. -
Start Flashing Process:
Click on the DL1 button in the eMMC DL Tool to initiate the firmware flashing process. This command will start writing the selected stock firmware to your Qualcomm device. -
Firmware Flashing in Progress:
The eMMC DL Tool will now begin flashing the firmware onto your Qualcomm device. This process may take several minutes, depending on the size of the firmware and the speed of the connection. Do not interrupt the process. -
Flashing Process Successful:
Once the firmware flashing is complete, you will see a “Pass” status displayed in green in the eMMC DL Tool interface. This indicates that the firmware has been successfully installed on your device. -
Finish and Disconnect:
Close the eMMC Tool application and disconnect your Qualcomm mobile device from the computer.
Congratulations! Your Android device should now be running the stock ROM that you have successfully flashed using the eMMC DL Tool. You can now power on your device.
