For flashing Qualcomm Devices with Windows
You'll need a software known as QFIL
Along with QFIL you'll need to download a very specific ROM supporting your device
or specifically for your device
XDA forums are best for finding out links for finding a ROM compatible with your device
After the ROM has been successfully downloaded download the drivers for your device if haven't already i.e. (the ADB drivers)
Here in this tutorial we're using Lenovo K3 note and a flash file link associated is also for K3
Download Link-K30-W File
Download link for QFIL is below
Download Link-Flash Tool
Download link for ADB drivers follow the link below
Download Link-ADB Interface Driver
let's do it ;)
Firstly switch your device off
Then connect your device to the laptop/pc
If it gets loaded as Qualcomm Mass Storage Device, you're good to go
and
if it doesn't, you may be needed to press and hold volume down key until your device doesn't vibrate
After your device gets connected open the QFIL
It must show your device as in screen attached above i.e. the COM3 port is being used for bridging between the laptop/pc and the smartphone
If your device is connected successfully then you can start flashing process
You have to extract the downloaded ROM compressed files to relative folders
Then select paths according to file locations
Note: If you're getting sahara error, copy the ROM files to same directory where the QFIL is installed
By default it is installed in C:/Program Files/QFIL
after all the files are loaded into the software you can begin the flashing process by hitting Download
and this software will flash the all new ROM into your device :)
You can do the same with ADB commands or using default boot manager for android devices
but this method helps if your android device is hard bricked or completely dead.
Share the wealth.
