How to Boot any Android Device to EDL Mode/Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 [4 Methods]

Boot Android to EDL Mode: droidwin.com/boot-android-edl...
Install EDL Drivers and Disable Driver Signature: droidwin.com/install-edl-driv...
Unbrick Tool for OnePlus: droidwin.com/download-msm-dow...
In this guide, we will show you four different methods through which you could boot any bricked/unbricked Android Device to EDL Mode.
Before proceeding ahead, please install the EDL Drivers [Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers] on your Windows PC and Disable Driver Signature Verification as well [refer to the linked guides above].
While booting a bricked Android to EDL Mode is done to flash the firmware and hence unbrick your device, you could even boot your unbricked device to EDL Mode!
But when would that come in handy? Well, if you are looking to go back to stock ROM from custom or perform a downgrade, then also you could use this EDL Mode.
With that said, if your device is hard-bricked, then straightaway go to the fourth method [Hardware Key Combinations].
On the other hand, if your device is in a semi-bricked/softbrick/bootloop state, then you could also use Method 3 [Fastboot Command], apart from Method 4.
However, if you could access the OS, then you could try out both Method 1 [via ADB Commands] and Method 2 [via Magisk] as well.
