If you're looking for the EDL Test Point location for these models, the motherboard design might slightly vary between regions. However, the general approach to identifying the test points remains the same.
Steps to Identify EDL Test Points:
Disassemble Your Specific Model:
Open the phone using proper tools. You'll need to remove the back cover, battery, and shields to access the motherboard.Locate the Test Points:
On Qualcomm-based devices, the EDL test points are often found near the UFS memory chip or the Qualcomm processor.
They might be labeled as DL, TP, or EDL.
For Samsung Galaxy devices, unmarked test points are common, so you may need a motherboard diagram or schematics.
Short the Test Points:
Short the appropriate test points using a pair of tweezers while connecting the USB cable to your PC. This will force the phone into EDL mode.
Software to Use in EDL Mode:
QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader): For flashing firmware or recovery.
Samsung Odin Tool: For Samsung-specific firmware updates.
Samsung 300K Tool: Can sometimes trigger download mode from EDL.
Important Notes:
Test point locations for models like SM-G988B or SM-G988U may require referencing specific motherboard schematics.
Using EDL mode improperly can brick your device. Always ensure you have the correct firmware files.
