How to Enter EDL Mode Using Test Points on Redmi 12 5G

1. Disassemble the Device

   • Power off the phone and carefully remove the back cover.
   • Disconnect the battery to avoid any short circuits.

2. Locate the Test Points

   • On the motherboard, near the USB charging port or processor, you will find two small metal points.
   • These points are used to trigger Qualcomm EDL (9008) Mode when shorted.

3. Short the Test Points

   • Use tweezers or a jumper wire to short the test points while connecting the phone to a PC via a USB cable.
   • The phone should now be detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in Device Manager (Windows).

4. Flash Firmware Using QFIL or Xiaomi Flash Tool

   • Once in EDL mode, you can flash the stock firmware using QFIL, Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool, or other compatible software.

Precautions

• Shorting the wrong points can damage your motherboard.
• Ensure you have installed Qualcomm drivers before connecting the phone to a PC.
• This method should only be used by experienced users or technicians.
