[Tutorial] How to create rawprogram0 & patch0 files for a qualcomm firmware
Follow the steps below to create rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files for a qualcomm firmware
cd folder_location
e.g
cd C:\Users\X3non\Desktop\Qualcomm GPTtool
GPTAnalyzer.py gpt > partition.xml
ptool.py -x partition.xml
(14-04-2020, 02:06 PM)ludemon I tried this but the process failed probably because I used the only reference to gpt files in the firmware, namely gpt_main_32g.img and gpt_main_64g.img
Do the files have to be bin files?

No, it doesn't have to be .bin
If you look closely at the guide, the file used was renamed to just "gpt". so filename has no effect unless you didn't specify the right file name when inputting and sending the command or that the gpt file from your firmware is somehow not supported
anyways, if you're trying to get rawprogram0 because of your htc device issue @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32955.html ; then this guide won't do anything to help you as without the right firehose programmer file, you still WON't be able to flash through qfil or any other qualcomm flashtool
you can flash a qualcomm device if you have firehose file but don't have rawprogram0, doable using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-31476.html

I'm beginning to get the impression that I'm on a lost cause with this phone (o_o)
You mentioned previously that I could try other 8994 programmer files listed on this forum and elsewhere and I did find one called just 8994.mbn on GitHub so was going to try that if I could create the xml files from appropriate firmware. I see that your gpt file is about 65.5 Mb so is that the size of file that I should be looking for in the firmware, and what is it likely to be called?
(15-04-2020, 09:49 AM)X3non my gpt file was made by backing up the firmware (this usually dumps the full partition as it is not the contents, what this means is if the contents is only e.g 10mb but the size of the partition is 65mb, then what you'll get as backup is 65mb)Can I use a firmware backup from a working 10 evo? If so what is the preferred method of doing a backup?
