Follow these steps to prepare your computer for the firmware flashing process.
- Download the tool installer using the link provided above.
- Locate the setup file in your downloads folder.
- Right-click the file and select Run as administrator.
- Follow the prompts in the installation wizard.
- Accept the default destination folder unless you have a specific requirement to change it.

- Restart your computer to finalize the driver configuration.
Your computer must recognize the connected device in Emergency Download Mode (EDL).
- Power off your phone completely.
- Hold the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.
- Plug the USB cable into your phone while you hold the buttons.
- Keep the buttons held until the computer signals a new device connection.
- Open your Device Manager in Windows.
- Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) section.
- Verify that Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 appears in the list.
- If the device does not appear, check your cable or the driver installation.
Once the device shows in the Device Manager, you can proceed with the flashing operation.
- Open Qualcomm-Flash-Tool-Pro from your Start menu.
- Locate the Select Programmer button in the main interface.
- Browse your computer for the firehose file related to your device model.
- Click the Load XML button to select the rawprogram and patch files from your firmware directory.
- Click the Download button to initiate the transfer process.
- The status bar at the bottom of the window tracks the progress.
- Wait until the window displays a Success message.
- Unplug your device and turn it on.
Follow these habits to prevent errors during the flashing procedure.
- Charge the battery of the mobile device to at least 50 percent. A power failure during a flash operation can create permanent damage to the device hardware.
- Use the original USB cable that came with your phone. Third-party cables often lack the data synchronization quality needed for firmware transfers.
- Disable your antivirus software temporarily if it flags the flashing tool. Some security applications misidentify low-level hardware tools as suspicious.
- Keep the computer on a stable power source during the entire process.
- Avoid running other heavy programs while the tool flashes the firmware. This reduces the risk of data errors and software crashes.
Follow these guidelines if the process encounters an issue.
If the tool does not detect the device:
- Ensure the device remains in Emergency Download Mode.
- Change the USB port on your computer.
- Reinstall the Qualcomm USB drivers.
If the flashing process stops at 0 percent:
- Check that the programmer file matches your specific chipset.
- Verify that the path to your firmware files contains no spaces or special characters.
- Move the firmware folder to the C: drive root directory.
If the device does not turn on after flashing:
- Do not panic. Connect the device to the computer again.
- Ensure the device enters the correct download mode.
- Repeat the flashing process with verified, original firmware files.
This tool communicates directly with hardware components. Use firmware files from official sources. Files from unofficial websites can contain incorrect partitions, which may result in a non-functional device. Always verify the signature of your firmware files if the manufacturer provides that information. This software does not collect user data, and it operates entirely offline once the download completes. Maintain copies of your device information in a secure location if possible.
