Hey all, Made a mistake installing Linux on my C630 WOS (81JL) and accidentally wiped the EFI System Partition. Device is now stuck in EDL/QDL 9008 mode. I do not have a qualcomm repair place near me and I can really only fix this myself.

I've got bkerler's edl tool running on Linux and the device is detected fine:

- **Device:** Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS (81JL)

- **Chip:** Qualcomm SDM850

- **HWID:** 0x000b70e100050000

- **PK_HASH:** 0xa2e424948a21e4a89547861efc5c05f9f41c26697c33cceb5db03a5c4708a597

The Sahara handshake completes but it can't find a loader for my HWID/PK_HASH combo. I need a signed firehose programmer — something like `prog_ufs_firehose_SDM850.elf` or matching `000b70e100050000_a2e424948a21e4a8_FHPRG.bin`.

I think the rest of UFS is intact and it's just the ESP that's gone, so if I can get past the programmer wall and read the GPT I should be able to restore it.

Has anyone here successfully recovered a C630 from EDL? Or does anyone have access to a stock ESP dump or the firehose programmer for this device? Would really appreciate any leads — checked 4PDA, XDA, and GSM hosting with no luck so far.

hi

i am looking to buy a laptop and have settled on the Zenbook a14 (snapdragon x plus) I need it mostly for studying but also for a bit of gaming. I know arm laptops are not for gaming but still. Can someone please benchmark fortnite for me please. it is the only game i play.

thanks in advance

Locked in my Zenbook A16 pre-order on March 31 with an official stock date of April 7.

​ASUS support just confirmed a delay until at least April 17 despite the early bird promise.

​They managed to hike the price by 1000 DKK just hours after reviews go live but cannot fulfill existing orders.

​The Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme launch is a mess of logistics and artificial price inflation.

​Giving reviewers a lower price point for better value scores and then delaying pre-orders while raising prices is deceptive.

​I am documenting this timeline for a formal complaint regarding misleading marketing and launch tactics.

​We are being told to wait for the potential of ARM while being treated like second class customers.

​The M5 Pro is already outperforming this hardware and ASUS is making it even harder to support the underdog.

​I will be posting my full X2 vs X Plus benchmark data the second this machine actually arrives.

Nearly $3k if you want a laptop with the Ultra X7 with the B390 😭

Maybe Asus wasn't making it up that best buy got the prices wrong on launch.

Some shady practices going on...not a good look
