Galaxy A11 (SM-A155M) Hard brick help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello... I'm new to posting in the forum, I've been lurking for a while but decided to post here since I'm on the end of my rope.
I accidentally deleted the entire android OS on my A11 ( i was messing around too much..) and the phone is on EDL mode, It's a qualcomm soc.
I have found the firehose file for this phone, but I don't know how to obtain the rawprogram and patch0 files for this since QFIL requires them.
I hope you guys get to see this thread, any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

Rooting TCL 10 Plus

Hi, some time ago I bought TCL 10 PLUS and I want to root it. I checked the forum but I couldn't find much. Now I think that my phone isn't much different from Xiaomi phones in software aspect. Is there a TWRP suitable for my phone? Thank you in advance.

[Help] How to make a ROM port for an MT6737T device

Hi,
I have a Uniwa A19S phone (mt6737T, kernel 3.18.19+, Android 6). Since it came from the manufacturer (believe it or not) with the system partition infested with trojans injected into vital files and there will be no firmware updates, I would like to port it to the Unihertz Jelly Pro 8.1 (same chipset, same kernel but Android 8.1). On the Internet there are way too many tutorials very different from each other and I'm very confused. Can someone please help me figure out what files I should move around? Maybe give a hand?
If you want to take a look at both firmwares I uploaded them here:

Any help is welcome
Thank you

[QUESTION] How to flash GSI on Hard-Bricked Nokia T20 WiFi? (TA-1392)

Hello,
I recently tried to find a workaround for installing an Android 13 GSI for my Nokia T20 tablet (TA-1392). It unfortunately backfired and now I don't know how to install the new GSI for my tablet without an unlocked bootloader. If possible, how can I unlock the bootloader? If not, is there a workaround?
This is an absolute emergency because I do not know if I bricked my tablet by trying to install a new GSI.

I certainly believe you. A forum with 11+ million members, 3.5+ million threads incorporating 75+ million posts in ??? (I've never tried to count them) fora is certainly not easy to organise to everybody's satisfaction. For this reason, some staff guidances and announcements are stuck at the top of every forum that might be helpful - if read!
Have you already had a look at this great guide by our RC @sd_shadow?

To whom this may concern,
As of today, 5/14/2023, I have updated the title of the thread to try to get better insight on my problem.
This is no longer an emergency.
As for today, I have discovered that my tablet was hard-bricked when I clean-erased it back in April 2023. However, with some deeper research, I found that it is recoverable. In terms of how, since the tablet tends to, when turned on, intermittently get detected by my Windows 11 desktop as 2 different identities, I need to somehow install/flash something onto the tablet within that split-second of identification to keep it from turning off while flashing the GSI. OR: have a tool that is not the HMD DeviceKit, as I cannot get permission for my Microsoft account to access such an app. I have no fastboot or recovery mode, as that was erased when the tablet was bricked.
NOTE: The GSI that I have installed is a stable version of Android 13. It has not yet been flashed onto the tablet as of the time this post was published.
Hello Again,
I have done more research and found out that I need to put my tablet into EDL Mode. In terms of how to do so, I do not yet know. In this later research that I made over the past 24 hours, a hint points me to the internal pinout of my tablet. Can someone help me identify the pins that I need to short out to enter EDL mode if possible? Or, if this hint is not true for this device (Nokia TA-1392), can someone point out how else to enter EDL mode on my tablet? Please note that the info about the GSI that I posted yesterday is still valid.
