Vivo iQOO Z7s 5G Test Point & EDL Mode Guide

The Vivo iQOO Z7s 5G is powered by the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G chipset and supports a wide range of software and hardware features. For advanced users and technicians, accessing EDL (Emergency Download Mode) or using Test Points is crucial for tasks such as unbricking the phone, flashing stock firmware, or removing FRP locks.

In this article, we will guide you on how to locate the Test Point / EDL Point on the Vivo iQOO Z7s 5G motherboard and explain how to use it properly.

📌 What is Vivo iQOO Z7s 5G EDL Mode?

EDL (Emergency Download Mode) is a special boot mode available on Qualcomm-based devices. It allows direct communication with the chipset using Qualcomm tools like QFIL or Miracle Box, especially when the device is bricked or not responding.

🔧 How to Enter Vivo iQOO Z7s 5G EDL Mode using Test Points

If your device is hard-bricked (no fastboot, no recovery), you can use test points on the motherboard to force it into EDL mode.

⚠️ Warning:

Disassembling your phone will void the warranty. Proceed only if you're experienced with mobile hardware or under professional guidance.
