What is the use of QCOM mode in the bootloader? - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know what the QCOM mode in the bootloader is for?
In the bootloader there are three modes namely:
Factory mode,BP tools and QCOM.
Anyone know the use of QCOM among these three?

Very interesting. Your device is in the Engineering state (where the secure boot fuses are not blown). This is more unlocked than normal unlocked. You can run unsigned bootloaders and TrustZone images, access more logs and features from the bootloader itself, and do some other cool things. One suggestion: NEVER run fastboot oem lock on this device. After locking, you can never go back into engineering state.
May I ask where you got this device? Was it unlocked before and did it turn into this somehow? Or did you buy it like this? Engineering devices are normally not sold to the public.
I gotta know this!

Engineering devices have write protect turned on by default, but it can be disabled by creating a particular utag by issuing a particular command over fastboot. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the exact command though.
You have a very special device on your hands The extra debugging features available on engineering hardware make kernel development significantly easier.

USB Diag mode on M4

I have found about 10 various manuals how to do it and I tried all of them to activate this mode but unsuccessfully. I heared somewhere that it disabled in Android kernel, so may be someone knows how to enable or to get it round or something? I will explain why do I need it: I want to connect with phone by QPST to unlock Bands like described here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269. I just thought that if E2312 has the same SOC on a bort as his brothers so it could be possible to unlock LTE Bands on it. But It contained in NVM of the Quallcomm processor.
If anyone has some experience or any idea how to realize it - make me know please.

QPST tool equivalent for Exynos?

Hello, I'm trying to change some modem settings which would normally be accessible through the Qualcomm QPST tool.
However, our Exynos phones aren't supported by the QPST tool.
I know there is a tool out there for Exynos because why would Samsung implement DM mode if they didn't have the tools to use it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

QPST ports open on pixel 3

Hey guys,
So thanks to this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-qxdm-port-activation-pixel-2-xl-t3884967
I got my com ports open (see attached photo)
I cant however get past the part about pdc , as pdc gives me "QMI connection not ready, please use USB driver version 1.00.32 or later and fix the connection before using PDC tool."
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this but if we can, then there is the possibility that we could enable voLTE/voWIFI on the pixel 3 with carriers who don't support it(such as bouygues, who supports voLTE but not anything else)
I'm wondering if it is the qpst version I am using or something else?
I am on windows 7 and also had to disable driver signature enforcement.
Hello!
Did you achieve progress in this issue after the publication of the message?
Any success?? I have this damn same issue on my Redmi 4x...

Hey. I honestly dont remember now. Its been a long time and it was a lot of trial and error by reading that thread I linked. In the end it was useless because A-google no longer provides images for debugging purposes and B-PDC tool doesnt recognize pixel 3 even after opening the ports. Sorry man.
i hve enabled diag port fully edited values in qxdm took ota updates but upon re locking bootloader pixel 3 resets every change i made what the hell how can factory reset revert nvram changes.
"QPST" stands for "Qualcomm Product Support Tool". It's a proprietary tool used to directly write a binary image to the NAND devices on the device. Neither QPST nor the binary images are freely available, and are generally only used during the factory process to flash the initial firmware to the device.

Hmmm, no, not true. Qpst / qfil is freely available, We've used it many times with various LG devices especially.
The binary images are freely available for many devices, here's a list of the binary images free to download for the pixel 3 (from google):
In addition, for LG devices, anyone can freely download the kdz image, which is the entire rom, and use the kdz extraction tool to retrieve any individual partition image.
Not all carriers, like at&t / sprint, don't make their kdz available, thus no access to those images, but most do.

So QPST can be used to flash bootloader, at which point someone should be able to use adb to flash the factory images? Wouldn't someone need to know the starting/ending addresses when writing to block devices?
Is there a reputable source from which to download QPST?

QPST / qfil links can be found in many places, I've found them in LG v35, v40, v50, G8 forums in guides section, usual title names include 'unlock bootloader' as qfil is used to flash the 'engineering abl' to gain fastboot.
addresses of the partitions are in the partition table of ea device. Depending on how you flash a partition you may need to know it specifically, but almost always you don't. The RawprogramX.xml has them in it if needed though.
There is one caveat, for qfil to work (or any EDL access to happen), with any device, one has to have the 'programmer firehose', which is a signed specific file, for that specific device type. Many mfgs make that file available, Google does not.

This was going to be my next question. We aren't talking about LG devices here; we're talking specifically about the Pixel 3. So if the firehose files aren't available, exactly how is QPST any good to anyone?

I know what we're talkin about here, and I know it's not LG devices. And I never said qpst was any good to anybody here, I just said that it is available, and you said it wasn't, and I said the stock images are available, and you said they weren't.

I think you misunderstand me. As I asked before, please post a legitimate and trustworthy source of QPST. According to Qualcomm, it's only available for specific commercial use.
Secondly, I was specific by what I meant by "binary images" - files to be flashed directly to the NAND devices by means of JTAG or other hardware level protocols. This would include the firehose images, although I admit I'm not sure if those are binary.
Either way, I reiterate that we are talking about the Pixel 3 here. If you know of a trustworthy source for QPST, that's a start. However, the fact remains that the files needed are not available, so what may or may not be possible with LG devices is not relevant in this thread.

I think you misunderstood me. You indicated that QPST / qfil is not availabel, it is, I told you where to find it, put in the effort.
And what you mean by 'binary images' is obviously open to interpretation, how in the world would I (or anyone) know you mean anything other than what is available (from google), which are the binary images one would flash with qfil for that device. So again, you're wrong as they are available.
And I'll repeat again, I know we're talking about the p3 and not LG devices. You're using that as a deflection, to try to avoid that your post was obviously wrong in it's information. I bring up LG devices only because they have lots of documentation here on XDA re these utilities, while the p3 does not.
"what may or may not be possible with LG"... yer again wrong. Ea and every qualcomm device can be put in EDL mode, that's what QPST is used for, it's relevant to all devices that have a qualcomm chip.

I asked you to provide a specific source. I don't know which forums you're talking about on what site. They could be here on XDA, or Reddit, or any LG forum out there. Your response is akin to "just Google it". The only reputable source I know of is Qualcomm themselves, who, as I stated, are pretty picky about who gets access to the software. Sure, a Google search will turn up a handful of third party sites that claim to have it, but are they trustworthy?

Not really. Binary images = files in purely binary format. Not Java, not hex - ones and zeroes, the file you would use to directly flash a memory device. I was pretty specific about that.

So, since no "firehouse" files are available from Google, could QPST be used to flash the partition images in the factory zips?

No, I'm pointing out that information on LG devices is not relevant. There might be documentation regarding the use of QPST but if the necessary files are not available, that's not much use.

I'm specifically referring to the possibility of hardware level device recovery which may be possible on LG devices due to the availability of the required files, but is not currently possible on the Pixel series because we do NOT have the required files.
I'm not going to continue this argument as we are rather OT at this point. This isn't conducive to finding a solution.
XDA thrives on the willingness of users to help out everyone else - the ability and willingness to solve problems. You said there is a solution to this problem; I am asking you provide it. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in the end; it only matters that we find a solution.

Sonim xp5s XP5800 bootloader, firmware and unlock questions

Hi, all. Please help me with some issues. Have Sonim XP5s dualsim gsm phone ATT locked.
1 Bootloader. Trying to unlock it.
*#*#2387#*#* activated USB debug. Set OEM unlock, but bootloader locked. fastboot unlock, fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock do nothing. How i can unlock it?
2 Firmware. Does anyone have image to flash with QFIL? I try to flash empty one but QFIL say timeout and take no action. EDL started but ignore all requests. Bootloader issue?
3 SIM2 activation. Phone disable second SIM at all. Need correct firmware?
4 ATT unlock. How i can do it, with correct firmware installed?
5 Root. Kingroot, kingoroot no success. Custom recovery not found. Flashing\booting custom recovery is locked.
Thanks.

I have the same phone that I just bought and (sheepishly) just found out has wi-fi calling disabled by AT&T. That was a main reason for getting it, but unfortunately I went by the Sonim website's info and not AT&T's regarding that feature. Verizon's version has it enabled, but it's also much scarcer on the secondary market. The XP5800 doesn't seem to be a popular phone for tinkering judging by the lack of info on doing so.
Does anyone know if wi-fi calling could hypothetically be activated by rooting and then toggling some values, or is it more likely that the involved code was omitted entirely? I saw something to the former about tethering.

Each Android can get rooted by means of SuperSU ZIP. Only requirement is to have successfully USB debugging option enabled in Android->Settings->Developer options. You install this ZIP via phone's stock recovery.
To access developer mode, google "developer mode sonim xp5s". Open article: kb.eschat.com "Open Developer Options Tab on Sonim XP5, XP5s or XP3...". The device will then open the Developer Options tab. Ensure the take bug report option is enabled, and that USB debugging is also enabled. You may also add a menu button to the Power tab for future access to this feature.
Be sure you use a clean SuperSU ZIP to avoid malware. Suggest getting one from the xda forum.
Hi. Is there any success with rooting or enabling second sim to working 2 sims together?

How i can do it? Stock recovery have no menu. /cache access denided from user. Putting update.zip do nothing without /cache/recovery/command. Did you know some trick to proceed install? ADB debugging enable, but no root rights there.
