[GUIDE] Use Research Download (Spreadtrum ROM Flash)

How To Use Research Download!
Hey all! I was looking around the web and i didn't seem able to find a actually proper tutorial on how to
use research download for flashing phones and such. It not necessarily difficult it just took me a while to
figure out how to use when i first started using it so i thought I'd make a tutorial for anyone who doesn't
know it
Glossary
Flash: To overwrite your phones existing software with another.
Rom: Firmware for your phone.
.pac file: File in which research download uses.
Before this it is important to have the VCOM drivers for you phone installed on your computer. (Links Below)

To start go ahead and press the first gear button. This will open up a browse menu
Use the menu to browse for where your .pac file for your phone is saved. These files are usually given
from the phones manufacture. The browse menu can only open .pac files.
Once the file is loaded you can tell, you will be able to see the name on the bar (as shown).
Next press the second gear to open up the settings menu.
1. How much to port (self explanatory)
2. Bautrate. Leave this at 115200 unless your phone manufacture said otherwise. This works for the SC6820.
3. This will be automatically selected once you load the .pac file.
4. Where all the files are stored. You can actually extract these once you load a .pac file hehe .
5. Name of Each file. If its ticked it will be flashed. You can untick things you don't want to be flashed.
6. This is just if your going to build a .pac file from parts, don't worry about it that's a whole other thing.
Once your don't editing the settings you can go ahead and press Ok.
After your done press the arrow like button. This will start the process and have it ready for your phone.
Take the battery out of your phone now for at least 15 seconds. Place it back and plug in the usb while
simultaneously holding the volume down button. You should see in research download that it has started
flashing! ( You can let go of the volume key now ) When it is finished just press the stop button and
disconnect your phone! :victory:

Fail: Preserve Calibration fail (cannot find nv item in nv) What does it mean?
I just made up the PAC file with NV = mtd6.backupfixnv.yaffs2.img extracted from other phone (same model). This is what was supposed to be done isn't it? Is the error saying that I got a wrong nvitem file or something?
I couldn't extract nvitem.bin file so I just pointed it to the mtd6.backupfixnv.yaffs2.img file.
Thanks ...

Good Guide!
All steps are described clearly...
But in the case of Spredtrum YXTEL G926 (Clone of Galaxy Ace) we have to UNCHECK all the items in Calibration Tab also....

I'm trying to unbrick a chinese elitek f6658 device. The only rom i've found for this device is this Elitek f6658 .
There should be a .pac file in order to flash this but in the rom package i can't find any, only a .p5c file. Tried to extract all the files inside in order to create a .pac file as mentioned above, but i can't find 1-2 .img files that are needed for packaging and the result is an error when trying to load the packet file. Anyone have any idea how can i restore this chinese brick?

its already a .pac file just rename it to " .pac " from " .p5c "

Pressed Play Button And connected my device..
but no any progress shown in Research download..plz help..

Make sure you have ALL the drivers installed correctly and that when u first connect it its showing up as somthing like "Spreadtrum phone" connected in your new devices popups. Probably good to restart the computer after you install the drivers. Are you using 64 or 32 bit? Ive had lots of troubles lately with 64bit windows 8 because drivers would not install because of signature verification. Works better on windows 7.

P5C file flash tool
Use this micromax A075 flash tool to flash .p5c file

Can you flash Lollipop 5.1.1 (for example from this link) to LG G Flex 2 with this method?

Heads up for rooted
If your device is rooted select the BOARD DL option, if not your device will go to a blue screen with LG Factory Reset Status 2, well at least that what it happened to mine, had a mini heart attack. Thanks for the guide!

I followed the procedure to bring my ls996 to stock with the zv5.tot but it is bootlooping at the minios screen.
Edit: I managed to enter recovery, I performed a factory reset but the phone still bootloops at the minios screen (doesn't even load minios). Does anyone have any idea on what to do next?

I followed everything that post #43 said but it still doesn't load minios. It reboots, shows it is loading minios and stays there for a few minutes then reboots again and does the same thing until it discharges. A minios bootloop as it doesn't let me do anything.
It stays at this screen:

Is this for the G Flex or the G3??
And it looks like its only sprint version.

AT&T ?
Have the H950. You show AT&t Lg g flex 2. Do you have the KDZ files please ??

HI i need lg g flex 2 f510s/k..... Firmware (kdz file)please.

This method does not work with kdz files. There are no model dll files for kdz, and this software only works with tot and a dll file. I tried the method that was on the storage account you provided, that was for kdz files, but that too does not work with my H955. I have the firmware file for my device, but no kdz method available works for my device.
I don't know why you would load a tutorial and say it is for kdz and tot files, but it is only for tot files... Not judging, just wondering.
Any idea on a viable method for flashing kdz files?

Thanks broski

You are correct. This only for TOT method. If you have KDZ file then you should use LG Flash Tools.

LG Flash Tools do not work, unfortunately. I have tried it about a hundred times, with different configurations, with different methods that are available on here, and on two different computers, but it always stops at 9% and tells me that there is no connection to the server and to retry.

Hi,
I bought my V10 at expansys australia, and the version is H961N Dual Sim,
but the software version is v10b-SEA-XX instead of v10b-HKG_XX, I believe it is a singapore version.
Any one has the v10b-SEA-XX kdz file?
or
Is that compatible to flash v10c-HKG-XX on my Singapore version of V10???

These .KDZ files look to come from the LG site although I have not been able to verify them or test flashing them yet.

Did you drag that window over?? That's normal. That message is supposed to come up.. In most cases when you drag it over you'll see it's actually flashing. It says that because there's not as it's not needed. But you should be using LGUP not the older flash tool

[Tutorial] QHSUSB_DLOAD Hardbrick Fix for I9505

Hello.I had my phone updated from 4.2 to 4.3 a few days ago and after updating itself in recovery,it simply died.No charging,no battery pull reset,just plain dead.I connected it to my laptop and it recognised it as QHSUSB_DLOAD.After googling around i found that only a JTAG will save it.Well,that ain´t true.I will give you a tutorial that will fix your phone in a few minutes.
First of all,i did it on Windows 8.1 x64.
Prerequisites :
QDLoader HS USB Driver : x64 driver or x32 driver
I9505 Pit file : Pit file download
Boot repair tool : I9505 Boot repair tool
Needed files to enter download mode to flash a stock rom : Files for Download Mode
Stock ROM to flash.I used this one but IT IS FOR THE LTE VERSION. Please download the stock rom for the Non - LTE version if you have it.
And lastly,Odin : Download here
Step 1.
Make sure that your device is connected and in Device Manager , it show as QHSUSB_DLOAD .If it does,disconnect it from your computer.
Before installing the drivers,we need to disable driver signature enforcement.
First,press WinKey + C and choose Settings
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
or if you prefer the modern one in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10,choose Change PC Settings
Choose Update & recovery
Click Recovery
Then,at Advanced Startup,click Restart now.
Your PC will restart.
Click Troubleshoot
Advanced Options
Startup Settings
Once entered here,it will ask for us to restart.Click Restart
When at the list,press F7 to disable Driver signature enforcement and boot.
Step 2.
Install the 64 bit or 32 bit driver depending on your OS WITH YOUR DEVICE DISCONNECTED.
Now plug your device to your computer via USB and it should pop up in Device Manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
Next,go to Control Panel,choose Folder Options and check Show hidden files.
Make a new folder on your desktop and put the galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB in that folder and nothing else.
Now extract the needed files for Download Mode in another folder and leave it open and the folder you have galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB open aswell.
Open galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB and do not click Recover Device until you read the next step.
Step 3.
This is the most important step because we will flash the stock boot files for our device.
With galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB open and the two folders above open, select all the files in the needed files for Download Mode folder and be ready because when you click Recover device,you will need to drag those files in the folder where galaxy_S4_9505 boot repair QHUSB is and you have to be very fast when doing it.
Click Recover Device and drag the files in the folder mentioned above and click overwrite very fast.This should be done in 3 seconds max. and if it won´t work,repeat the last step until you do it right.
Your phone should now boot in Download Mode.
Step 4.
Download Odin and click on AP and select the .tar file and wait a few minutes.
Click on Options and check Auto Reboot , Re-Partition and F. Reset Time. Make sure that these are the only checked options.
Now go to Pit tab and select the downloaded pit file.
Click start and wait for it to finish.
That is it.
Final note :
If your device is restarting and it does not boots in Download mode and shows up that the battery is charging,disconnect it and pull the baterry and the press Vol. down , Home button and Power to enter Download mode.If you do not flash a stock ROM with Odin,after your first restart,it will become hardbricked again.
Don´t forget to hit that thanks button if it helped you.
Goodluck.

Plz help me i am using this tutorial to fix my p5100 device but it shows permission denied . Other then samsung note 4 repair tool , I got appropriate things for my device. Plz help

Thank you a lot! It worked!
It took me a bit of time, this is my extra info for others:
- When doing the step 3, a command window with scrolling text will appear with 2 lines. You must do the copy paste thing BEFORE the text starts rolling as that indicates it started using those files. If no window with text opens, try again
- With odin I had 2 problems: One, that it was failing to do the copying, the reason was that I was using a wrong ROM. Second was that a ROM was written, but it was the incorrect one so I had to start again from step 0.
So try a different ROM.
I read the cable may be a problem too, but it wasn't in my case.
In between retries and after succeeding, removing the usb cable AND the battery may help.

[HOW TO] Recover from any hardbrick or red case in 9008 mode without ANY BOXEs

Well guys, its finally here!! You can finally unbrick your device without any jtag,medusa, octopus box!!
DISCLAIMER: IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS DOES SOMETHING BAD TO YOUR DEVICE WHICH IT SHOULDNT.
WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING IN THE INTERNAL STORAGE OF THE DEVICE!!
FAQ"
1.,)My phone blinks red and i cant boot into 9008 mode at all. What can i do?
A. From what ive expreniced, you need to take out the back and touch two test points on the g7 while connected to the pc with a tweezer.
from another thread :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2,) I keep getting shara failed, the firehose is in the right folder and the xml files as well. Everything is in the same folder.
A. There are two reasons why it may fail.
1 Make sure you install the drivers correctly.!! Windows 10 has driver signature enforcment enabled on default so you need to disable that and install the 9008 drivers. To check if your drivers are installed correctly open up Device manager via searching it in the windows bar then go into ports and make sure theres no question mark or an yellow exclamation (!) sign next to it. If there is you have you disable signature enforcement and install the drivers manually. To do that you can google it cause theres a bunch of ways to do it.
2. if the drivers are installed correctly then you should try two things. One run it as admin and check if you can open up parition manager or load the files. and two is to reboot into edl mode by holding down Vol - and then power then once it turns off and on again at the lg logo, hold it down and reboot into edl mode again.
3.Red case:
You may have the red case cause you locked your bootloader by accident or you never unlocked it or something happened. Just use this guide to flash the abl file https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-partitions-flash-abl-t-mo-t4051249 then do fastboot oem unlock then flash back the abl for your android verison.
Requirments:
-A computer of course
-USB cable to connect your phone to the pc
-This oreo firmware https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/17341/G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz
-The unbrick files from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gozwGTc8BT1w_gb230GUT4RP_Mwe5fz4
-KDZ Tools: https://github.com/ANEP-ET/kdztools/archive/master.zip
-Python installed :https://www.python.org/downloads/
Steps:
AA. You can download this, extract them and skip steps 1, and 5-9
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19JBomkFdFglUqFhF3jFsJ-H2WJN4Dwp0/view?usp=sharing Thanks to @avilav
BB. You can do it your self too ill leave them in the steps
1. Download and install python
PYTHON INSTALL STEPS:
a. Download and install python 2.7
b.Download and install C++ Compiler for python2.7: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
c. Download and install thus redistruble
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
D. After everything is done installing open C:/Python2.7/Scripts folder and right click and open powershell
E. Type CMD then enter and then put
Code:
pip install zstandard
F. After thats done continue with the next steps. And you can close that window
2, Download all the files above and extract them into one folder. Make sure to extract everything INSIDE the kdztools folder.
3. Run the qpst file you extracted and install it
4. A.If your phone is already in 9008 mode and stuck there make sure to hold down and power for at least 10-20 seconds while connected to your pc and should reboot back to it.
B. If it doesnt boot into download mode or android at all but theres a picture or bootlooping or at fastboot mode etc... or at the white lg logo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MY0qB1G8c use this tutorial to boot into 9008 mode. Plug your device into the computer, then hold power then down the turn it off and then quicky let go of power and press and hold power then rapidly press the vol+ button and you should be at a black screen and should be in 9008 mode. To check: Open up device manager and check ports and should say qualcomm 9008 mode. If it says something like qhubulk usb an theres an exclamation on it make sure to right click update drivers and search automatically on the internet. Otherwise youre gonna have to find the drivers your self online which isnt hard.
5. Once you confirm that you are there right click in the folder where you extracted everything open up Powershell or if you have it to set to command prompt open that.
6. In powershell type cmd and press enter.
7. Type:
Code:
unkdz.py -f G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz -x
then press enter
8. Wait a while and ignore the warning about offsets and stuff like that and dont close it yet.
9. After its done open up the kdz extracted folder and move the .dz file it generated back into where you extracted everything and then run this command in that same command prompt:
Code:
undz.py -f G71011g_01.dz -c
10. Wait while this also finishes, again ignore the warnings.
11. Place the rawprogramfiles0-6.xml's into the dzextracted folder it created this time
12. Now its time to flash, so open up qfil, you can just search it in the search bar on windows 10.
13. In the qfil window, select click configuration on top then firehouse configuration then make sure you change device type to UFS then click ok
14. Select Flat Build then in the programmer path select the prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf file.
15. In the search path put the location of the dzextracted where all the files are extracted should be where theres a bunch of different bins
16. In the Rawprogram and Patch place click load xml then navigate to where the rawprogramfiles are (should be where dzextracted ) if you dont see it. If you do see it then shift then click Rawprogramfile0 then Rawprogramfile6 and it should select all of them. Then it should say select patch file. just click cancel on the patch file.
17. Click download and it should start flashing the files and wait till it done.
18 Hold power and down for 10-20s it should reboot and it should be able to boot android. It may restart once so it erases user data.
19. You should be able to boot into android now
If it doesnt boot:
You should be able to enter download mode now to flash fw with lgup
Lets Thank:
@Xsavi For finding the firehose file for sdm devices
@quickwshell for the rawprogram generator.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So your device is bricked? I can share the kdz and dz files. Let me get things together and I will provide a link.

You cant use the 21d with the rawprogran files. These are only for that oreo kdz. You can flash them back to pie later.
