QFIL

This application is required for flashing smartphones. But it should be borne in mind that the utility is only able to flash devices based on Qualcomm processors. This program is most often used by users of lenovo devices. QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) is an official application released by Qualcomm. It is required to flash devices based on the processors of this company. It is not possible to find an exact list of devices that this utility supports. This is due to the fact that the developer company did not provide it to users. Now it is only known that it is suitable for almost any tablet and smartphone of the company lenovo. This was found out from the forums.

Working with the program

You can work with this application in the same way as with any other application for similar tasks. There is no need to install it as it is portable. You will need to download the required firmware beforehand, and enable the recovery mod on your device. Each mobile device has its own way of invoking this menu, but most often it can be done by pressing the volume button as well as the home button. If this has been done, you can connect the device to the computer using a USB cable. In the program you will need to select the path to the previously downloaded firmware. It is important that the program is able to see the connected device. If it is not displayed, or is displayed incorrectly, it is necessary to download drivers. If everything has been done, you can click the Load XML button. After that you need to select several files that will be installed. First of all, you need to select the rawprogram0.xml file, and after that you will need to install patch0.xml. When all the files have been downloaded, you can click on the "download" button. Once the firmware update process is complete, the device will reboot on its own.
