Where in QPST do place UFS file to flash and unlock bootloader?
Just use the bat file, dont worry about qpst.

Probably old drivers. Also, try rebooting comp
Tried your advice but still step 3 not working Waiting..... QualCom Drives download from XDA and installed at my PC today.
Comport 3 running ok.

I got this

There is a chance your target is in SAHARA mode!!

There is a chance your target is in SAHARA mode!!

This can mean
1. You forgot to send DeviceProgrammer first (i.e. QSaharaServer.exe -s 13:prog_emmc_firehose_8994_lite.mbn)
2. OR, you did send DeviceProgrammer, but it has crashed and/or is not correct for this target

Regardless this program speaks FIREHOSE protocol and your target is speaking SAHARA protcol, so this will not work

Are you using qpst? Or the bat file? There are 2 different ways to do this.

bat file

But I tested Qpst but could not find which file or where to place in Qpst the file to flash.

Now I can connect phone both Mi Flashtoll and Qpst. Bu it looks like the image is corrupt.
Thanks for your help

Hey guys.
I just did this, found out I needed to boot Windows 10 into unsigned driver mode and copy the files to the root of a drive, but got it sorted.
Did get the battery stuck at 70%, easy fix, fastbooted TWRP, formatted the storage, reinstalled stock image from the Asus web site, booted, setup the phone, booted TWRP with fastboot again installed magisk, everything is working as it should.

Question is, can I re-lock the bootloader, or will it wipe everything again, is it even worth re-locking at this point?

Had a few questions for users who used this method to root.. Will I lose L1 widevine if I unlock bootloader and also does this method affect L1 widevine. Will it work with Android 10.
