Common Pitfalls on Nokia QM215
- Wrong Firehose loader: Using a loader for MSM8917 will cause “Sahara fail: protocol error”. You need a QM215-specific
prog_emmc_firehose. Look for “QM215” or “SDM215” in the ELF strings.
- eMMC erase time: A full chip erase over EDL can take 20+ minutes. If QFIL freezes, use
edl --memory=emmc --erase=all from bkerler’s tool.
- No boot after reset: If the device boots to EDL again, you have erased bootable partitions but didn’t flash the correct GPT. Manually flash gpt_main0.bin first.
- Nokia 1 Plus special case: The eMMC is configured with userdata on LUN2 – some rawprogram files miss that. Check
lun attribute in xml.
QFIL Disconnects Mid-Erase on Windows 11
- Cause: USB selective suspend settings.
- Fix: Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > USB Settings > USB selective suspend setting → Disable. Retry the hard reset.
