[Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box to flash to a single partition on Qualcomm

[hovatek]

This tutorial will explain how to flash a single file or to a single partition on a Qualcomm Android device using Miracle box. While we already have a guide on flashing Qualcomm using Miracle box and another on using QFIL, this guide will come in handy when the goal is to flash to a single partition, not the full firmware.

Requirements

• Download Miracle box
  
• Install Qualcomm USB drivers
  
• Boot the Qualcomm device into EDL Mode
  
• The single file you intend to flash (this guide will be using recovery.img as example)

Important Notice

• Its important you select the partition that corresponds to the file you're flashing to avoid bricking your device
  
• If the tool's programmer file (firehose file) isn't working and you have a confirmed working one then untick Auto Programmer and manually load yours
  
• Its always a good idea to backup your Qualcomm firmware first in case something goes wrong
  
• This guide isn't guaranteed to work on all Qualcomm devices
  
• If you run into a "file doesn't exist" error then ensure there's no space in any folder name (in the file path)
