Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Backup Device Partitions: Always dump critical security partitions (EFS/QCN/NVRAM) before writing raw images.
2. Enter Flashing Mode: Boot into Fastboot mode or trigger test points for EDL (Emergency Download Mode).
3. Execute Flashing Suite: Load XML partition maps in your chosen tool and verify checksums prior to writing.
4. Reboot & Wipe Cache: Once flashing finishes with 100% verification, reboot to recovery and perform a factory wipe.

Always verify firmware region codes before proceeding with the flashing process.
