This guide will explain how to boot Qualcomm chipset devices into Emergency Download (EDL) Mode. The
exact procedure varies with device so we'll cover the principles here.

What is the EDL mode?

EDL Mode is a mode for downloading to your device, what you're downloading (flashing / writing) to the
device is the firmware or single files. EDL will come in handy in a case where reviving the device via fastboot
or stock recovery isn't an option.

How do I use EDL mode?

To use EDL, you must first be able to get the device into this mode then have the firmware / files
(programmer, patch, mbn, rawprogram etc) you wish to flash.
You are to use Qualcomm flash tools (like QFIL (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-30642.html)) which
support flashing in EDL mode for the flashing process.

Steps  to boot into EDL on Qualcomm devices

Method 1: Button Combo

Power off the phone
Hold both Volume Up and Down buttons (don't release) [if both vol buttons doesn't work then ensure to
either try vol up OR vol down only]
Connect the phone to a PC via a USB cord while still holding both volume buttons

Method 2: ADB Method

Setup ADB (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html)
Enable USB Debugging (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-10109.html) on the phone
Launch ADB and run the following commands
adb devicesadb reboot edl
The phone should boot into EDL Mode. You can verify by checking device manager for an entry like
QHSUB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (if you have installed drivers)

Method 3: Fastboot method

Try commands like

Code:

fastboot oem edl

fastboot reboot-edl
fastboot reboot edl

Method 4: Motherboard / Test Points

Some phones require that you dismantle the phone and short two gold points on the motherboard (i.e
connect the two points using a conductive material such as thin piece of wire or tweezers) then connect the
phone to the PC using a USB cable in order to boot into edl mode. e.g
Infinix X608, X622 e.t.c; see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23298.html
