Hi everyone,

I’m in urgent need of help.


I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus (SM-X210), and I recently replaced the USB charging port using a heat gun and basic tools. After the replacement, the tablet started showing signs of life — it charges, and when I connect it to my PC, I can hear the Windows connection sound.


However, the screen remains completely black, and there’s no display at all. The tablet is detected by my PC as:


Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
(Which I understand means it's in EDL Mode)

I believe the firmware might have been corrupted during the process. I'm now trying to recover the tablet using QFIL, but I can't find the necessary files:


  • prog_firehose_sm6375.elf
  • rawprogram0.xml
  • patch0.xml

I don’t have access to paid resources, so if anyone has a free dump or working EDL firmware for this model, I would really appreciate your help.

Summary:

  • Model: Samsung Tab A9 Plus (SM-X210)
  • Issue started after USB port replacement
  • Device stuck in EDL mode (9008)
  • Screen is black, no boot/logo
  • Need: .elf + .xml files for QFIL recovery
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help 🙏
