Firmware Package for Snapdragon 660 (QFIL / XML)
Official firmware for the 360 N6 Pro contains partition images designed for Qualcomm EDL mode and Fastboot. The package includes rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml partition scripts alongside raw boot, system, modem, and vendor partition files.
rawprogram0.xml / prog_emmc_firehose_*.mbn
Official 360 N6 Pro firmware is supplied as a rawprogram archive. QFIL reads rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml to flash individual partition images over Qualcomm EDL mode.
Model check: Verify that your device model is 1801-A01. Do not flash this firmware on the standard 360 N6 (1707-A01), which is powered by a Snapdragon 630 processor. Flashing files meant for a different chip will corrupt partition tables and prevent startup.

360 N6 Pro — Important Notes
The 360 N6 Pro features a 4050 mAh battery. Partition writing via QFIL takes 4 to 8 minutes depending on your computer speed. Make sure your phone battery is charged to at least 50% before you begin, and do not disconnect the USB cable during flashing.
Common Errors on the 360 N6 Pro
QFIL Error: "Sahara Fail / Sahara Protocol Handshake Failed"
This occurs when communication with the Qualcomm bootrom is interrupted. Unplug the USB cable, hold Power for 15 seconds to restart the phone, hold Volume Up + Down again, and re-connect the USB cable.
QFIL Error: "Cannot open COM port or access denied"
Another background tool (like PC Suite or MiFlash) may be locking the COM port. Close conflicting programs, run QFIL as administrator, and try a different USB port.
Phone stuck on the 360 logo after successful flashing
Old user app data in the cache partition can cause a bootloop. Boot the phone into recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and select "Wipe data/factory reset".
