Thanks to the open-source ecosystem of Android, there are a plethora of tweaks and tricks that you could try out. These include the likes of flashing customized firmware or a custom recovery like TWRP. Along the same lines, you could also gain administrative privileges by rooting your device via Magisk.\u00a0However, it goes without saying that trying out these tweaks could spell out trouble for your device as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you flash an incorrect binary or flash the correct binary to the incorrect partition, then you are inviting trouble. And in such cases, a bootloop or soft-brick device is usually on the cards. Well, even if that happens, you could flash the stock firmware and bring your device back to life. For that, you would need to restore the partition files from the stock firmware and then flash it via Fastboot Commands or via QPST or related tools.\u00a0However, if your device is already in a bricked state, then there&#8217;s no point in taking a backup.<\/p>\n<p>This is because you would then be taking a backup of the corrupt partitions and the restoration of these partitions would only make the matter worse. Rather a better approach will be to back up the partitions when your device is in perfect working condition. Then if your device ever ends up in a bootloop or bricked state, you could easily restore the partitions and rectify the underlying issue. So on that note, let&#8217;s get started with the steps to backup the Qualcomm firmware via Firehose MBN\/ ELF file and QFIL Tool.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663775bb125a6\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #232323;color:#232323\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #232323;color:#232323\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663775bb125a6\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/backup-qualcomm-firmware-via-firehose-mbn-elf-file-and-qfil-tool\/#Backup_Qualcomm_Firmware_via_Firehose_MBNELF_File_and_QFIL_Tool\" title=\"Backup Qualcomm Firmware via Firehose MBN\/ELF File and QFIL Tool\">Backup Qualcomm Firmware via Firehose MBN\/ELF File and QFIL Tool<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/backup-qualcomm-firmware-via-firehose-mbn-elf-file-and-qfil-tool\/#STEP_1_Download_the_Required_Files\" title=\"STEP 1: Download the Required Files\">STEP 1: Download the Required Files<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/backup-qualcomm-firmware-via-firehose-mbn-elf-file-and-qfil-tool\/#STEP_2_Boot_Device_to_EDL_Mode\" title=\"STEP 2: Boot Device to EDL Mode\">STEP 2: Boot Device to EDL Mode<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/backup-qualcomm-firmware-via-firehose-mbn-elf-file-and-qfil-tool\/#STEP_3_Load_Firehose_File_to_QFIL\" title=\"STEP 3: Load Firehose File to QFIL\">STEP 3: Load Firehose File to QFIL<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/backup-qualcomm-firmware-via-firehose-mbn-elf-file-and-qfil-tool\/#STEP_4_Backup_Partition_via_Firehose_MBNELF_File\" title=\"STEP 4: Backup Partition via Firehose MBN\/ELF File\">STEP 4: Backup Partition via Firehose MBN\/ELF File<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup_Qualcomm_Firmware_via_Firehose_MBNELF_File_and_QFIL_Tool\"><\/span>Backup Qualcomm Firmware via Firehose MBN\/ELF File and QFIL Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14042\" src=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Backup-Qualcomm-Firmware-via-Firehose-MBN-ELF-File-and-QFIL-Tool.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Backup-Qualcomm-Firmware-via-Firehose-MBN-ELF-File-and-QFIL-Tool.jpg 760w, https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Backup-Qualcomm-Firmware-via-Firehose-MBN-ELF-File-and-QFIL-Tool-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding.
