how are you backing it up?

The most complete way that I found was https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-t...-storage-on-most-of-qualcomm-devices.3949588/ Follow through 5a. This will give you a full backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newportswag74:
i was trying the method in post #18
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newportswag74:
and the guide you sent me requires fastboot and these phone have limited fastboot it wont flash nothing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glhydroco:
Fastboot?? there is no fast boot in the link that I sent. Xombiex uses fast boot for his method, but you do not need fast boot, you can use QFIL with powershell that is how the link that I send does it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glhydroco:
First you open QFIL then select flat build with the right programmer 660 file this is in the flashtools files. then with the partition manager open in qfil you will open powershell where you want the backup saved and you type in the commands ...

--port=\\.\COM8 --search_path=D:\path\to\your\dump --convertprogram2read --sendimage=full_dump.bin --start_sector=0 --lun=0 --num_sectors=122142687 --noprompt --showpercentagecomplete --zlpawarehost=1 --memoryname=emmc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glhydroco:
replacing COM8 with your active com port

you can remove the "--search_path=D:\path\to\your\dump" if you loaded the powershell from where you want the backup to be saved.

Then wait for the process to complete

You can use 7-Zip archiver to open this dump and extract any partition you want.

Also note with this Dual Sim 8.1 Wifi calling does not work with ATT sim card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enderwap_and:
From my extensive tests, i found out (in europe) that volte and vowifi are related to certain IMS profiles stored in EFS. Now, when u delete modemst1, modemst2 and fsg these files are deleted forever (if ever present). So, you need to restore a qcn that has these IMS profiles stored. Also, i found out that QCN backup made with qfil is different in size by the one from restore made qith QPST- Client Software download, Backup - full no filters. So, in short, you need somebody that has ATT working VoXX and do the folllowing (if your phone is already in the state described by me - only working with a modema version from xombiex - else, do not try..):

- ensure that you have 8.1 with modema and modemb from xombiex

- backup your qcn just in case

- ensure that you have a full qcn from somebody with good working att voxx (carefull, you will have same imei like him, don;t know if legal in US).

- EDL mode, qfil - partition manager - erase modemst1, modemst2, fsg

- reboot - no SIM, NO SIGNAL

- eanble test diag *#*#248#*#* - USB mode - test mode

- QPST - select port active - the diag one

- software download - restore qcn - select type of file qcn - select the qcn from "your friend"

- write - ignore ESN missmatch.

- reboot - you will have the same imei like your friend...

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL IMEI AND NEVER WRITTEN the MODEMST1 and 2 partitions. will be a petty to lose your IMEI.

PS - there are ways to write your IMEI afterward, but far more complicated.

I hope i can help somebody with this.... Again VoXX capabilities are controlled by profile files stored in EFS partitions. There could be a way via EFS explorer to write these files on your own EFS, but it require clear understanding of Snapdragon 630 working files, which i do not have (at least now:)

LE - modema and modemb per se - do not directly control LTE and IMS - these partitions are working only in combination with modest1 and modemst2 and toghther they generate during boot content from EFS zone.

Happy debugging:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glhydroco:
I will try this out, I thought that I had done this in the past but may not of erased the fsg partition before writing back the QCN. The only QCN file that I have is from my ATT android 10 daily. and is a different size than the QCN of the 8.1 global. .. will this make a difference or do I need a QCN from the build 54 of android 8.1

Also I have only wrote the QCN file with sonim software tool should I try to write with QPST?

thanks again for all the work and I can't wait for the Android 10 global to show its face in the wild!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xombiex:
@enderwap_and and i , are working for full Android 10 dual SIM some devices fail signal but i have all weekend for test, this one Is mine fully working
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enderwap_and:
i found out that the best way to write QCN is:

QPST - software download - in my tests, this one wrote the EFS with more details (don't ask WHY!)

second - QFIL - restore QCN - enable dual sim

third - sonim tool

Again, pure empirical observation

Also, the steps are:

Erase MODEMST1, ST2 and FSG

Apply (reapply) patched modem a and b from Xombiex

boot

apply QCN

reboot

check apn settings to be enable for ATT

should be VoXX

if not - additional possible troubleshooting:

*#*#4636#*#* - select corresponding bands and netowrk options.

check to see if you can define an APN type IMS accroding to ATT settings (i do not know the ATT parameters, but should be fairly easy to find over net).

The reason why to reapply modem a and b and use the exact steps as above is that again EFS zone is generated dynamically by the follwoing partitions: MODEM, MODEMST and FSG. Some of the "info" there is still valid and QCN restore DO NOT OEVRWRITE it. so, better to start from fresh.

These are the steps that i am follwing in EU and I have VoXX now. I hope will work for you.

Also, as Xombiex mentioned, there are some.... lets say strange results for Android 10 - hopefully we will be able to understand what is so diffrent in the phones that accept the Global Android 10 image. Keep an eye on Xombiex, me personally i have only one phone and i am tired after almost 30 days of flashing and reflashing.

Happy debugging:)

Guys, this is the image that belongs to an EU Global Sonim Xp8 on Android 8.1.:

What we know (this is the image that i aquired / paid) and used with Xombiex:

- if you flash modema and modemb from this image you will recieve OTA and succefully upgrade to Android 10.

- in my case (ATT) with flashed QCN i see sim BUT no signal. IN this case i use modema and modemb from Xombiex image (russia) and working perfectly (VoXX, dual sim - second SIM standby only UMTS/2G, full APN hotspot) BUT i cannot upgrade to OTA 10 since is chekcing for baseband.

- DO BACKUP of EFS partitions! Don't flash FSG, modemst1 and modemst2 - if u don't understand what this means, then please stay out of this - sorry, i need to be so direct, but i messed up my phone ignoring this part.

- There were some success stories - Xombiex managed to flash some phones, but in my case, i could not until i used the patched basebands from Russia.

So, without further due - mega link. Enjoy, Merry Christmas and i hope at least for some of you this image is working. For me, it's not. But happy holidays, happy debugging. IF someone finds a way to flash ATT phones that have previous lost baseband/imei and working this version, please share.

I will have some time tomorrow. I have some phones I can test on and give some feedback for anyone wanting to do this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glhydroco:
First off What image are you or Xombiex starting with when you replace the modema/b. I am having nothing is happening when I replace these. ... Do you have to do a factory reset after you flash them?

Also I tried flashing the whole thing with the programmer and end up in a hard brick. I am able to get back to DL mode so that I can save the phone but only the light flashes.

My starting point is using the Xombiex image (Russia). does My starting point need to be ATT, if so I only have the ATT android 10. I have no backup of android ATT 8.1. if that is the case then I will need a QCN from that corresponding android 8.1 as I have tried different QCN files for different builds and it has Never worked for me. So I guess moving forward.

What are your starting firmware/build number for using this mod?

Are you only replacing these modema/b files or are you resetting the EFS (ie deleting modemst1, modemst2 and fsg)? Then restoring QCN,

What QCN do I use the backup I made before I replaced modema/b?

Let me know as I am stuck at the moment

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enderwap_and:
Alternative 1 - edit QCN

Alternatiove 2 - userdebut ATT (in order to be able to edit) - use QMSL IMEI and SN writer and write only BT mac. After that upgrade to your user choice firmware

Again, chose any firmware 8.1 u want - Mine just uplaoded or Xombiex 8.1 Clear.

Apply (reapply) patched modem a and b from Xombiex 8.1 Clear

boot

apply QCN

reboot

check apn settings to be enable for ATT

should be VoXX

if not - additional possible troubleshooting:

*#*#4636#*#* - select corresponding bands and netowrk options.

check to see if you can define an APN type IMS according to ATT settings (i do not know the ATT parameters, but should be fairly easy to find over net).

I never encountered ANY combination of stock 8.1 / userdebug 8.1 / ATT 8.1 that will not work with the 2 modema and modemb from Xombiex 8.1 Clear archive. JUST make sure to follow steps.

QFIL, QPST (all in EDL) plus software download and software programming from QPST.

And man.... if u don't know to use QFIL & Partition Manager and programmer / XML from QFIL, please don't do it..

U need to master the QFIL and play with partition manager (using erase, load image, etc) all in EDL.

For QCN backup/restore, use QPST software download.

To chose correct bands - use QPST - software programming - UMTS tab.

For QCN - QPST software programming - diag usb mode, power on on phone

for flasing - EDL and QFIL & QFIL partition manager

Ok, I understand, What steps Do I need to do to get the android 10 OTA to work then??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enderwap_and:
Merry Christmas all. just a note! please read again my posts. There is NO way to upgrade to A10 if you use patched baseband from 8.1 Clear (Xombiex). NO WAY. Also, i found that for ATT with lost IMEI there is no PUBLIC way to upgrade to A10 even with my global ROM. So, kind remainder. The max that i achived was my global ROM (8.1) real dual sim enabled with Wifi Thetering and VoXX BUT no update to A10.

The current setup that i use:

- full flash of 8.1 Global ROM that i shared

- format modemst1 and modemst2 and fsg (ONLY IF YOU ALREADY delete your IMEI previously)

- replace modema and modemb from 8.1 clear form Xombiex (russian edition)

- reaaply QCN.

THAT is the maximum achived by me. OTA fails since is checking for baseband.

Xombiex had some luck with "virgin" / not altered Sonims but for me, NO lucky combination of A10. Period

-if your phone already unlocked backup qcn

-if you flash with 10 and get no signal revert to 8.1 and wait to fix i face this error

on att device.

-PLEASE STOP ask for qcn or unlock qcn nothing will change

-if you have tools like chimera , umt or hydra i can help full (unlock , change imei, etc)

-dont mix modems or partitions from 8.1 to 10 they have diferent sizes and can brick your phone or start bootloops (i can fix but with tools).

-flash my backup with fastboot commands, first install 8.1 debug, unlock bootloader then flash (i suggest make a bat file)

-there is no modemst1, modemst2, fsc,fsg on my backup so you will not loose baseband and imei but keep a backup from your phone.
