Important Notice
Diag mode is different from EDL mode (https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21791.html), don't mix
them up
You may download QFIL as a standalone or QPST (which comes with QFIL and other tools
If QFIL doesn't show the device as Qualcomm HS-USB Android DIAG 90ID (while connected and in
Diag mode) then click Port and manually select
Its important you only restore a QCN backup made from a working phone of the same model to avoid
bricking

Quote:

In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to backup and restore QCN of a Qualcomm Android device
using Qualcomm Flash Image Loader or QFIL. For you to backup or restore QCN, you need to have boot
the device or enabled Diagnostic mode on the device. We have a guide on how to enable Diag mode on
your Qualcomm Android device. You also need to have installed your QFIL from QPST

Now, don't forget that the QCN helps you fix NV related issues like baseband issues, IMEI issues,
network detection issues and rests alright? Now once you have the device in Diag mode, you connect it
to the PC while still powered on then you launch QFIL. Once QFIL comes up, you'll see the device
detected as Qualcomm HS-USB Android DIAG. So now this device is in Diagnostic mode and its detected
correctly.

Now, you head over to Tools, click on QCN Backup Restore. Take note of the path where your QCN file is
going to get saved to. alright and then you click Backup QCN. Once you do that, you'll see the status
here. Just sit back and wait while QFIL backs up the QCN file. Alright! So QCN backup is complete. I
have Backup QCN Succeed. You head over to the directory (mine is Hovatek folder). I have my
saved_qcn here.

Now to restore, it's the same procedure; your device in diagnostic mode but this time around, you select
Browse and then you select the QCN file which you intend to restore and then you select Restore QCN.
You just wait while QFIL restores the QCN to the device. Alright! So we have Restore Succeeded. At this
point, you can disconnect the device, maybe reboot and do whatever you wish to do.

So that's how to backup and restore QCN on a Qualcomm Android device using QFIL or Qualcomm Flash
Image Loader
