What is EDL Point:
EDL (Emergency Download) Points are special points on Qualcomm CPUs that allow the device to enter Emergency Download Mode (EDL) or Qualcomm Download Mode. EDL mode is a special mode used to unbrick or flash firmware on Qualcomm devices, especially when the device is bricked or not able to boot up.In order to enter EDL mode, the device needs to have a special bootloader that can be triggered using EDL points. These points are usually exposed on the circuit board of the device and can be accessed using specific hardware tools like a USB dongle or test points.
The EDL points can differ for different Qualcomm devices, but they are typically found near the USB port or the battery connector. By shorting these points, the device can be put into EDL mode, which allows the user to flash firmware using specific flashing tools like QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader).
It is important to note that entering EDL mode using EDL points may void the device's warranty, and it should only be attempted by experienced users who understand the risks involved.
