ReplyDeleteThis device flashing via EDL mode for that Press and hold Volume Up + Down and Insert USB cable

DeleteMy Pleasure if sahara fail error just follow this here Note : This is work on login as a Administrator
DeleteI sucessfully disabled Integrity checks an reinstalled the qualcomm drivers. When running Qfil, I still have the (or another) Sahara Fail - though it takes a few moments until its detected. When running QC Downloader 1.0.6., for example, Sahara works, but download does go on an on with no error or success message. Ever seen sth. like that?
