Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus (SM-X210) stuck in EDL Mode after USB port

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

@aloha17 on here we are more focused on hardware then on Firmware etc. For that, you really should check on forums that deal with those issues. Forums like this one or this one come to mind.
