In this video tutorial I'll be explaining how to backup a Qualcomm Android
device's firmware using miracle box. First off, you need to have installed your
Qualcomm USB drivers. We have a guide on how to do that. Then you need to have
your miracle box also. Now, once you have these two in place, you open the miracle
box folder and launch miracle box then wait for the dashboard to come up.
Good. Now, once the dashboard comes up, you click on the Qualcomm tab and then click
read / format flash. Now, in this place, you tick... you can see under Port here
you need to select port but it's not displaying so now for you to get ports
you press the window button and you search for device manager and launch
device manager
in device manager, under Ports. You can see I have just three entries. Now I'm
going to boot my phone into Emergency Download (EDL) Mode then connect it to the PC via a USB
cord. For my device, I hold both volume buttons while powered off
then I connect it to the PC via USB cord
okay device manager is refreshing
Good
now I have my entry Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Now I have my Qualcomm device detected.
Back to miracle box, you click on ports and that will detect your Qualcomm HS-USB
so I have my ports sorted out. Now, you go to (tick) the Read Partitions you tick that and
click on the Start Button and wait while Miracle box begins to read the device's
info. Now, I have a list of all the partitions here so can tick or untick
any partition. Now, any partition you tick is going to be backed up and any you
untick will be left out. I'm going to untick userdata and system all right and
system
Good. Now, you tick Read Flash, don't forget that. I did that already
then click on the Start Button still with the device connected. Its going to
start backing up. In this pop-up, you navigate to the location where you wish to
save your Qualcomm dump or your Qualcomm firmware backup. I'll select the Miracle
box folder. I'm trying to create a new folder I'll head over to the directory
I'll just create a new folder where I can save my backup to
I'll go back to Miracle box, select the Miracle box folder.
You can select any folder you want. I'm just using the Miracle box folder in this example
and then click OK
now Miracle Box will start backing up. You can see I have modem already backed up. You'll see other
files or partitions being backed up. I left out system and userdata
so that the backup process can be completed on time. Those two will take a lot
of time to back up
so you wait while miracle box backs up. You do not disconnect or interrupt the process
Alright! Done! So I go check the folder and I have all my files backed up
I can just select everything and move them over to the Qualcomm dump folder
and there! I have my Qualcomm phone's firmware backed up. So that's how to back up a Qualcomm
Android device (rom or firmware) using miracle box
