happy reading

Thank you so much, this is great!

Thank you very much, that's great work! Is it also possible in some way to only root the device and then install MicroG instead of Google Play Services? I would rather use the former if possible.

How to revert back in case someone has to sell it?

Excellent!
@joygram Do you know if your method is "generic" in the sense that it can be applied to the A5C? Can it also be applied to the UNISOC-based A5Pro?

Thanks for this. It works great.
I couldn't run the QPST installer that you included on windows 7, so downloaded the same version from the net to use.
My previously installed google apps stopped working, but fixed it by updating them in play store (I had Chrome, Maps, GBoard and some other things running that I installed with Aurora).
My Gboard stopped working, so I went back to the original Chinese keyboard so I could type again then updated after logging into play store.

Cheers to joygram! He's the man!!!
Can someone please upload the 6.09.06.00 firmware?

I can't seem to get the rooting done
I did all the steps you said, and I have the right firmware, but QFIL tells me the download failed. Here is the QFIL log:

What version of QPST an QFIL did you use?
You should use the QFIL that is included in QPST.

Please don't revert back. Please sell it to people who are worried about taking the risk.
Good question though.

Is there any way to avoid vision now we have root and run something else instead? Like could we get it back to near stock android?
I'm using a different launcher and it is way faster, but everything that vision controls like the lock screen, settings, notifications bar, etc is still slow and laggy.
(Vision was as bad before root, and things have improved if anything with gapps added)

Brilliant, I can now back up WhatsApp messages, sync contacts etc. Mobile banking app has stopped working though because it's detected a change from the manufacturer settings. Any way to fix that? Even with Magisk Hide it still won't work. Is it possible to uninstall Magisk (that seems to be the thing that's incompatible with the banking app) or will that undo all this good work?

I believe magisk loads the Gapps module into the system at boot rather than Gapps actually being in the system. So I think magisk is needed.
I don't know a huge amount about it though, so maybe someone else knows better.
You could try reinstalling the banking app. Some of my previously installed apps had issues, but worked perfectly after upgrading or reinstalling with play store.

I've tried most methods now, and got some banking apps to work properly, but one still won't. It tells me the phone is rooted and won't work. It seems to be a common problem for that particular bank, so it's probably beyond my technical abilities. Oh well, online banking only for that one then.

@joygram - The instructions seemed to work. I was able to run Google Apps, and the phone restarted fine a couple of times. But now it is going straight to FastBoot Mode. (I'm guessing I caused this after I uninstalled the Hisense App Store). You mentioned it may be possible to unbrick, but I am new to EDL. Is there a file available to download that I would download to then process in EDL?

I think you have soft bricked your phone. You need to download any official rom to your TF card and flash it to restore your phone to the original.
This is the instructions from Hisense official forum. Use Google translate to read it: https://fans.hisense.com/thread-171079-1-1.html
Too bad I don't have an account to download the rom there. You may find some where in the internet to download the roms.

Anyone can cast audios or videos from the rooted and Googlified A5 to Chromecast ready devices?

I have issues with it too. But it didn't work before the GApps either.
I think the Miracast that came with vision might interfere with Chromecast maybe?
I tried Google Home and it identifies my TV and knows when a device is casting. Just the casting fails.

Same. Maybe it's because we only installed a minimum Google services from this post.

In my case, Chromecast did seem to work. I only just tried it once quickly and then proceeded to brick my phone (with the Microsoft Launcher I suspect), but I will try again later once I am done with the procedure again.

totally bricked a Xiaomi 6, could anyone help?

Hello everyone,
I own a Xiaomi 6 (6GB/64GB), two weeks before, I have received a update notification from Xiaomi. When the update package was downloaded, and the phone restarted automatically. I left the phone alone, without any attention to it. Several minutes later, I found its screen was still dark, and I thought maybe something bad had happened. So I long pressed the power button, but nothing happens. Now it is, a totally bricked phone. It can't enter fastboot mode in any way. Once connected to a computer with USB cable, the computer detects a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 device. I have searched a lot, trying MIFlash and QPST, but noting helps. The QSPT can detect a com port, but it show the phone is Unkonwn and the ESN is No ESN. I have tried all and I am almost give up now. Please help me, or maybe I should consider buy another phone.
Thank you very much.

1,) 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.
Requirements:
qfil
firehose sdm845_lge
(optional)v35 abl bootloader to unlock
Link to download these files thanks to @Xsavi https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207
Steps:
Install qfil
Make sure you go to configuration then firehose settings and change from emmc to ufs
Turn off your phone and boot into edl mode (when phone is off connect usb or leave usb connected and immediately hold vol down and power buttons and keep rapidly pressing the vol up)
It should on a black screen but if it turns on try again, then check device manager and make sure its shows qhubulk or something like that. i(f you don't see it check in ports and should say that or Qualcomm 9008(com#) #= whatever port which means its installed and you can skip the next step)
Install the Qualcomm drivers by right clicking on the qbulkhub thing and click properties then the driver tab click update then search automatically.
start up qfil then load the firehose file in programmer path
don't worry about the XML path and stuff just go on the top click tools and partition manager
(NOTE: if there's no port open or the partition manager won't open, try rebooting into edl mode again)
Window should pop up with a list of partitions, right click on the ones you want to backup and then check on the bottom log window of qfil, it should say where its being kept and maybe percentages too if its a big partition let it finish.
Should be back to C:/appdata/roaming/Qualcomm/com#
Your partitions backed up and should be bin files note what is on the qfil log window should say the saved to somethinf. Bin
To flash:
do steps 1-5
except backing up use the load image option and load your .img file or the .bin file
For abl: back up the abl_a partition then load the image for v35 and reboot then do fastboot OEM unlock them. Then reflash the abl bootloader that you backed up by entering edl or using fasfboot flash.

If someone can backup their g710n Android 10 beta device that would be nice. Just the system, boot and vendor

Put phone in download mode search for the cross flashing thread and cross flash your kdz. Phone will be back to stock.

Welp thanks for the firehouse leak we can now access flash any partition we want.

It's possible to flash. Modified partition/image file without a bootloader unlock but I'm not 100% positive. .

1,) 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.

Requirements:
qfil
firehose sdm845_lge

Link to download these files thanks to @Xsavi https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207

Axon 10 pro Bricked from not enabling oem unlocking before trying bootloader unlock

Hello,
I stupidly did not read the instructions very clearly for unlocking my bootloader with the edl tool.
I am new to rooting and after doing a ton of research I have come to the conclusion that I did not enable oem unlocking before using the tool.
My Axon 10 pro US model will go into fastboot, and it will bootloop, and also another mode where the screen is black after holding down both volume buttons.
This device is my daily driver and I am currently without a phone at all.
I really just need to get it back to the stock rom and factory settings as soon as I can just to have a phone.
I have tried to use the edl tool to restore a backup that I made from my girlfriends axon 10 pro and it did not work my phone still does the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

If you can get it into fastboot mode, try reflashing the stock abl.img from your backup, see if that makes the phone boot up.

The only file containing abl was an abl.elf file. I attempted to flash this with fastboot and it seemed to flash but after reboot it is still boot looping and now i can't get into fastboot.
I'm not sure what to do at all now.
My PC still recognizes the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM3) if i plug it in and hold down both volume buttons until the screen goes black and i hear the usb sound.
Also, best quote ever ("Im a technician not a Magician") lol.

I was able to get it back into fastboot mode for about 15mins and then after a reboot it won't come back.

Try booting back into fastboot and see if your inactive slot will boot, "fastboot set_active b", i assume your device is on A slot which is borked, you still see the zte screen right?

Well the good news is your device is not bricked, you are soft bricked...meaning you bootloader is intact, the only issue is the fact that you unlocked bootloader without "oem unlock" ticked, can try goign into recovery mode, press and hold volume up/power button until you get to the stock recovery, then look for "apply update from adb" , download the andorid 10 sdcard update zip form here. then execute this command "adb sideload path/to/android10/zip", and see if that makes your device boot to system, what it all boils down to is you flashed the eng bootloader with without "oem unlock" and the secure bootloader sequence does not like that.

I Have tried to get into stock recovery many times, if i hold volume up and power no matter how long i hold it is just bootloops to the zte logo over and over the only key combo that gets a response is into fastboot when i see the zte logo i hold both volume buttons, and if i just hold both down without the logo the screen goes black but the computer will recognize the phone as a qualcomm 9008 device.
If i could get into recovery that would be great i'm just no sure how else i can do it.

hi there,
how fix your device can you explain the steps, regards.

I followed this guide, https://www.leakite.com/revised-how-to-unbrick-qualcomm-android/, After that my device wouldn't boot at all but was still in EDL Mode I then restored from a backup I made using the EDL tool from this link, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ax...-10-5g-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3964605 , from another Axon 10 pro the same exact model as mine (US version) and once I restored from that backup I was able to boot the device and factory restore it and the device is working fine now.

3. Install QPST.2.7.496.1.exe;
4. Reboot the pc;
5. Turn on usb debugging in developer options;
6. Boot the phone in edl mode:
I) Connect the phone to the PC;
II) Hold VOL- and Power;
III) As soon as the screen turns black repeatedly press VOL+ while holding VOL- & Power button.
Video tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZx3vR3gFEY
7. On the windows PC go to device manager ---> Ports and it should say Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM x) or "QUSB_BULK_CID: xxxx_SN: xxxxxxxx";
{
"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"
}
9. Setting up QFIL:
I) Run QFIL;
II) Set Build Type to Flat Build;
III) Programmer path: select the file "prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf" inside the extracted UnlockG7.zip;
IV) At the bottom right corner change device type to "UFS".
8. QFIL should recognize the port of your phone, if not press on "SelectPort..." and select your phone's port;
10. Press on "Tools" and then press on "Partition Manager";
11. A new window should show on your screen with every partition on your phone. If you get sahara error, you should make sure you installed the 9008 mode drivers right or reboot your pc, reboot your phone from edl mode by holding volume - and power button for 10-30 seconds, then getting back to edl mode (step 6);
12. Search the partition called "abl_a" right click on it and press "Manage Partition Data" then press on "Read Data" (this will backup your current partition) then press on "Load image" and load the V35abl.img from UnlockG7 folder;
13. Press win + R and run %appdata% , navigate to Qualcomm --> Qfil --> COM_X (the port that your phone was connected to in the step 7). In this directory you will find a .bin file called readata... rename it to Abl_abackup.bin;
14. Redo step 12 & step 13 but instead of abl_a do it with abl_b;
STEP 15 & 16 ARE NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE LG G7 EM/EMW/EAW.
15. Search laf_a partition right click on it and press "Manage Paritition Data" then press on "Read Data" (to backup it), follow (step 13) again but name the file called readata... to laf_abackup.bin then you press on erase. (NOT "ERARSE ENTIRE FLASH");
16. Follow (step 15) but instead laf_a repeat the process with laf_b;
17. After you are done press on save partition file then close;
18. Force reboot the phone (Hold volume - and power button for 8s) and immediately hold only volume + (For EM, EMW & EAW its volume -), it should get you in fastboot mode. (If it didn't work try again);
19. Download & extract "fastboot driver.zip" and follow the instructions inside the README.txt;
20. Download & extract "FixFastboot.zip" and follow the instructions inside the README.txt;
21. Download & extract "fastboot-tools.zip";
22. Open the CMD inside the extracted fastboot-tools.zip and type: fastboot flash frp (drag and drop over the cmd the frp.img), it should say OKAY;
23. Press volume + until you see on your phone's screen "reboot to bootloader" then press power button and wait for it to reboot back in fastboot (bootloader);
24. Type in the CMD: fastboot oem unlock . It should say "erasing userdata...." and wait until its done;
25. Move the backups you have done in steps 12,13,14,15 (For EM,EMW & EAW models only from step 12 and 13) on desktop;
26. Go back in EDL(9008) mode, open qfil -----> press on "tools" -----> press on partition manager ----> search abl_a ----> right click on it ---> load the abl_abackup.bin located on desktop. Repeat the process with abl_b(abl_bBackup.bin), laf_a(laf_abackup.bin), laf_b(laf_bBackup.bin). (EM, EMW & EAW models have to restore only abl_a & abl_b). After you are done press on save partition file then close;
27. Get back in fastboot (redo step 18), unplug the phone and press volume up until you see "power off" on your screen and then press power button, your phone should be off;
28. Hold volume + and plug the phone back to the computer, you should enter in download mode;
29. Download & extract "How to flash KDZ Firmware.zip" and follow the instructions in README.txt.
Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the bootloader of your device.

Keep QFIL open, press vol- and power and keep tapping vol+ as phone starts. Stop as soon as '.....9008' message is seen in QFIL.

Rename the file removing any 'space' from it and try.
I am not familiar with this step 18. Maybe cause I have EMW.
You can also load back the partition you want using qfil.

G710AWM-10 30b
Good Day, XDA Community!
Before I post a request for help, prior to contributing anything, I would like to say thank you for this platform and the information contained within. It has been immensely helpful, the progress made to this point is truly because of this community.
I hope this an appropriate place for this post. I debated putting it in the Q&A section...rest assured, I learn quickly! Here is what I am currently faced with:
End Goal: Running Lineage OS (or other, i.e. UT) in its most stable form on the LG G7 ThinQ.
Current hardware: G710AWM Android 10, 30b. Windows 10 Pro Ver. 2004
Questions to try to keep this on point for you experienced and busy people:
1. Is the problem here Android 10? I have seen forum posts saying I need Android 9 to unlock bootloader. I have seen forum posts saying the version number does not matter. Downgrading the OS is not something I have acted upon yet.
2. Is an ADB response REQUIRED while in EDL mode? ADB reports the serial number of the G7 when in photo transfer USB mode. When in EDL, ADB does not report a serial number. ".\adb commands" from power shell.
Symptom:
1. QFIL - boot phone into EDL while QFIL open; QFIL detects 9008 port. Select firehose elf file, confirm UFS. Partition Manager reports Download failed / cannot find the file specified.
Reboot G7 into EDL mode while QFIL is open; Partition Manager reports Sahara error.
This is a result I can repeat and replicate over and over again.
I have been reading, researching, searching, and reading more to try to solve this with the information that is in this forum. It seems I'm missing something SUPER simple (like A10vsA9?). For the better part of the past 36 hours, I have rebooted the phone and computer, purchased and used new USB-C cables, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded USB Drivers, firehose, G7 Unlock, G7 Unbrick.....
Not sure if the qfil log file will help:

Good Day, XDA Community!
Before I post a request for help, prior to contributing anything, I would like to say thank you for this platform and the information contained within. It has been immensely helpful, the progress made to this point is truly because of this community.
I hope this an appropriate place for this post. I debated putting it in the Q&A section...rest assured, I learn quickly! Here is what I am currently faced with:
End Goal: Running Lineage OS (or other, i.e. UT) in its most stable form on the LG G7 ThinQ.
Current hardware: G710AWM Android 10, 30b. Windows 10 Pro Ver. 2004
Questions to try to keep this on point for you experienced and busy people:
1. Is the problem here Android 10? I have seen forum posts saying I need Android 9 to unlock bootloader. I have seen forum posts saying the version number does not matter. Downgrading the OS is not something I have acted upon yet.
2. Is an ADB response REQUIRED while in EDL mode? ADB reports the serial number of the G7 when in photo transfer USB mode. When in EDL, ADB does not report a serial number. ".\adb commands" from power shell.
Symptom:
1. QFIL - boot phone into EDL while QFIL open; QFIL detects 9008 port. Select firehose elf file, confirm UFS. Partition Manager reports Download failed / cannot find the file specified.
Reboot G7 into EDL mode while QFIL is open; Partition Manager reports Sahara error.
This is a result I can repeat and replicate over and over again.
I have been reading, researching, searching, and reading more to try to solve this with the information that is in this forum. It seems I'm missing something SUPER simple (like A10vsA9?). For the better part of the past 36 hours, I have rebooted the phone and computer, purchased and used new USB-C cables, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded USB Drivers, firehose, G7 Unlock, G7 Unbrick.....
Not sure if the qfil log file will help:

Try files from the verizon unlock guide in guides section. I have a g7 emw and i unlocked using those files. Btw you have not mention what model yours is.
If that doesnt work, try from a different PC.
After you get qfil to work, take complete backup of all your partitions.
After that you need to be on android 8 to follow that guide.

Thank you, lefttobleed. I will eagerly jump into the Verizon unlock guide as suggested. I will make 6 backup copies of my partitions once qfil gets going!!
The model number I am working with is: LM-G710AWM // Android 10 Software Version: G710AWM30b
Thank you, again!

Thank you again, lefttobleed. Following the Verizon unlock guide, I was able to access partition manager through QFIL. I believe, either the re-downloaded QPST (version?) or the SIMPLE overlooked item was within the reinstallation of QPST... I care not to admit what the potential root cause of this might be
Last night was spent backing up the partitions of the G710AWM. While perhaps overkill, I captured the long list from partition manager in order to correlate the backup *.bin files. I sincerely hope there is in fact 93 partitions...and that I did not miss one in my exhaustion.
While there is no panic yet; I do suspect I am again confusing myself while going back and forth between guides (NOT a complaint in any form, I rather enjoy everything I have learned and completed thus far). On the note of the various guides, thank you to: Emanel000000, Awesomeslayerg, netookska05 and lefttobleed. I cannot possibly thank everyone......
Edit - I missed a few key points: I think from the AS guide, only the abl_a.bin is replaced; when I did this and rebooted, I could not access fastboot after approximately 20 - 30 attempts; the phone booted up normally (loading from b partition?). Booted back into EDL and replaced the abl_b.bin as per this (Eman00) guide. Backed up laf_a and laf_b to be safe. Rebooted phone to red triangle, and eventually fastboot loaded. Tried fastboot oem unlock and received "failed: device unlocked!". Fastboot continued to report this "fail device unlocked" message.
My G7 now boots to red triangle, and eventually to fastboot. No problem communicating via command line. Rebooting in various ways results in: EDL, download mode, firmware update mode and fastboot (after red-tri). I am about to use QFIL to flash V35 again to A/B, then erase the LAF.BIN files. I believe I deviated somewhere between this guide and Awesomeslayerg's guide.
Happy Oct. 31, for those that do something today!
Thank you, again!

Welcome... Very good progress. Even i sat and backed up my complete partitions tediously.
Anyways, Doesnt that error mean your phone is already unlocked? Check in developer options if it is unlocked.
If not unlocked, make sure you are making changes after cross flashing to an android 8 rom. Refer images in v40 guide linked inside verizon guide, to see how the bootloader should look if successfully flashed.

Can you please tell me which guide u followed to root your phone?

Bricked Redmi S2

I accidentally killed my Redmi S2, now it is always in EDL mode and is marked as Qualcomm 9008. I tried to restore it via MiFlash and QFIL, but I get a Sahara error.
