you can extract the contents using huawei update.app extractor which should give you files you can flash using a qualcomm flash BUT without a firehose programmer file which is never included in update.app, you won't be able to flash using any qualcomm flashing tool

Can the firehose_programmer be edited or made from scratch? I ask because all of the msm8917 loaders I've tried fail to load and haven't found one for MediaPad T3 (KOB-W09).
I use Superr's variant of splituapp.py but all extractors render files in .img format and some are needed in .mbn if I'm not mistaken. I have board software for it but don't know if it can be flashed with IDT as everything I see for it points to Hisilicon and not Qualcomm. Haven't been able to get an answer for that from easy-firmware and haven't found an answer searching online as everything seems to point back to IDT or Image Download Tool as soon as you search for anything with 'Huawei' and 'board software' together. But none differentiate between hisilicon and qualcomm and the documentation with IDT is from Hisilicon so have doubts that it will work with qualcomm. I have tried flashing with SigmaKey and it left it not booting and stuck in 900e mode, and that is with their supplied .skf format board software. So, I guess my biggest question would be this. Do you know of a method to unbrick a MediaPad T3 KOB-W09 with board software?

MediaPad T3 (KOB-W09) from online specs uses qualcomm chipset, anything regarding hisilicon won't work on qualcomm
you can try using dc phoenix software. dc is known to work for many huawei devices
dc phoenix guide @ https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum/mode...dc-phoenix best you contact their support team on their website for help on using their software and also note that the tool is a paid tool
