Important Notice
  • Miracle Box ideally requires a hardware dongle / box to work. Installing and running the setup without one will end up in an error
  • If you decide to use a Loader version (no box or dongle needed) then your antivirus might flag it as malware. You'll need to disable your antivirus to allow the loader to work but you do this at your own risk
  • If your phone gets detected as qhsusb_bulk when connected in EDL mode then you've not installed the drivers correctly
  • Once the device has been detected (under Ports), leave it connected throughout the backup process

Video Transcript
Quote: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 processAlright! 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

Do I have to have the Bootloader unlocked? I can't seem to have a way to unlock it in 2 devices from 2 different manufactures (Vivo & Lenovo), all the fastboot commands that I've found on the internet didn't work

You don't need to unlock bootloader in order to backup

If it was backed up with miracle box then it will only be flashed with miracle box.
