Backup xQCN File before Upgrade

If the device is preinstalled with software, use the product configuration assistant tool (PCAT) to back up the
Qualcomm combined NVs (QCN) from the device (see Backup xQCN File from Device by PCAT), else request
the factory QCN for your device (see Obtain Factory QCN File ).
II. Upgrade Process
Option 1: Flash Software using PCAT (Mandatory for Brand new device)
PCAT must be used to install the software on a test device that does not have a preinstalled software, while either
PCAT or the fastboot method can be used for later software upgrades
To flash images on the device using the PCAT tool:
1. Connect the USB cable from the device port to the computer. Connect the debug board to the device, and the power
supply to the debug board.
2. Launch the PCAT tool.
3. The PCAT tool detects the device in any one of the following states:
i. Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)
ii. Qualcomm USB Composite Device 90DB (COM#)
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)

• If the device does not have a preinstalled software, then the device will be in EDL mode and the PCAT tool
displays the port information as “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)”.
• On the CONNECT A DEVICE screen, select Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#) using the check box
and click CONNECT.
3/25
Qualcomm USB Composite Device 90DB (COM#)
• If the device has a preinstalled software, then the device boots up to Andriod and the PCAT tool displays the port
information as “Qualcomm USB Composite Device 90DB (COM#)”. The same port information is enumerated
in the Device Manager.
• On the CONNECT A DEVICE screen, select Qualcomm USB Composite Device 90DB (0018) using the check
box and click CONNECT.
4. On the configuration window, set the configuration as shown in the following figure and click UPDATE.
5. Click BROWSE and select the contents.xml from the downloaded software build.(File path example:
<target_root>\Waipio.LA.1.0\contents.xml)
4/25
If you didn’t see any files loaded, please shorten your windows path name
6. The device programmer path is automatically populated. If it is not loaded automatically, please load it manually.
Device programmer path:
<target_boot>\BOOT.MXF.1.0\boot_images\boot\QcomPkg\SocPkg\Lahaina\Bin\LAA\RELEASE\prog_firehose_ddr.
elf
7. Click DOWNLOAD.
8. Activity logs show:
9. After successful software installation, the device boots up to Android automatically.
5/25
Option 2: Program system images using Fastboot

1. Connect the USB cable from the device port to the computer.
2. Put the device into Fastboot mode.
adb reboot bootloader
3. Confirm that Fastboot is active from the Windows command shell.
fastboot devices
4. After the device is detected, run the following command:
cd <target_root>\Waipio.LA.1.0\common\build
fastboot_complete.py
5. After software flashing is successful, power cycle the device using the following command:
fastboot continue
Upgrade Troubleshooting Tips:

While flashing the software, use the debug board connected to power supply instead of battery.
➢ Set the Device in EDL Mode

1. If the device is in "Qualcomm USB Composite Device 90DB (COM#)" state and if the software flashing does not start
automatically after clicking Download.
OR
If the device goes into the Crash mode, then the user can manually place the device in EDL mode and then perform
software installation.
2. Use one of the following methods to place the device in EDL mode:
• Using the PCAT tool, select EDL option as shown:
• Using DIP switch settings on the debug board
6/25
For MTP: (See slide Debug Board for diagram)

• To enable EDL mode, use the following DIP switch settings on the debug board:
- S4 –1, 2, 3, 4 –ON
- S4 –5, 6, 7, 8 –OFF
• After successful Flash, disconnect the power cord and USB cable.
• To disable EDL mode, use the following settings:
- S4 –2, 3, 4 –ON
- S4 –1, 5, 6, 7, 8 –OFF
• Reconnect the power cord followed by the USB cable and bootup the device. The device boots up to Android.
➢ If the flash fails, close the PCAT tool, disconnect and reconnect the USB and power supply to the device, re-open the
PCAT tool, and try to reinstall the software. If it still fails, erase the software on the device and reinstall the software.
7/25
➢ Steps to Collect Crash Dump
1. If the device goes into Crash mode, connect it to the PCAT tool to get the crash dump logs.
2. Click Crash Collection and the device shows up on the PCAT tool as shown:
3. Click BROWSE to select the location to save the crash dump.

4. When the dump collection is completed, Memory Dump Progress shows 100%.
5. Open the Memory Dump Path to access 8K memory dumps.
8/25
➢ Erase Software using PCAT

1. If the device often goes into Crash mode or it has ATTACH issues with the network due to incorrect software
installation or configuration, then it is recommended to erase the software completely and reinstall the latest software
on the device.
2. To erase the software using the PCAT tool:

a. Connect the target device in EDL mode and BROWSE the path to select metabuild.
b. Device programmer auto updates the .elf file, which is at
<target_root>boot_images\boot\QcomPkg\SocPkg\Waipio\Bin\LAA\RELEASE\prog_firehose_ddr.elf
3. Click the Partition Manager icon shown, then a window pops up to verify device programmer path. Click OK.
4. Click ERASE ALL to erase entire flash.
5. Click YES(recommended) to erase the entire partition data or click NO to keep the current partition table.
Note: It is recommended to erase the entire partition data, because the size of the image files could vary for each software build.
9/25
Restore QCN
Note:
Always restore the factory xQCN file first followed by build xQCN files.
Please restore all build xQCN (Sub6+mmW) no matter your test scope.
