How to Use eMMC DL Tool for Qualcomm Devices: A Step-by-Step Guide

The eMMC DL Tool is a utility designed to flash stock firmware on Qualcomm-based Android devices. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to use the eMMC DL Tool to install firmware and restore your device to its original software. Please proceed with caution, as flashing firmware will erase all data from your device. Always back up your important data before proceeding.

Prerequisites: Download and Install

Before you begin the flashing process, you need to download and install the necessary software on your computer.

1. Download eMMC DL Tool: First, download the eMMC Download Tool from a reliable source. Once downloaded, extract the tool to a convenient location on your computer. After extraction, you should see a set of files, including the tool application and USB drivers.

2. Download Stock Firmware: Download the correct stock firmware for your specific Qualcomm device model. Ensure the firmware is compatible with your device. You can often find stock firmware on websites like FirmwareFile or through a general Google search using your device model and “stock firmware.” If you have already downloaded the firmware, you can skip this step.

Launching eMMC DL Tool and Loading Firmware

Now, open the eMMC DL Tool and load the downloaded firmware.

1. Open eMMC Download Tool: Locate the extracted eMMC Download Tool folder and open the application to launch it on your computer.

Connecting Your Qualcomm Device and Identifying Port

Connect your powered-off device to the computer in EDL mode and identify the COM port.

1. Connect Device in EDL Mode: With your device powered off, press and hold both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously. While holding these buttons, connect your device to your computer using a USB cable. This action should boot your device into EDL (Emergency Download) mode, which is necessary for flashing.

2. Identify COM Port: Once connected, you need to identify the COM port assigned to your device. To do this, right-click on Computer (or This PC), select Manage, and then go to Device Manager. In Device Manager, expand the Ports (COM & LPT) section. You should see a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader port listed. Note the port number associated with it (e.g., COM9).
