Revive your Honor X8. Download the official Firehose Loader for models TFY-LX1, TFY-LX2, and TFY-LX3. This Snapdragon 680 (SM6225) programmer fixes dead boot and resets FRP via EDL mode.

The Honor X8 (Models: TFY-LX1, TFY-LX2, TFY-LX3) is a popular mid-range device powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SM6225). While reliable, incorrect flashing, bad OTA updates, or attempting to downgrade can lead to a “Hard Brick.” In this state, the phone shows no display and is only detected by the PC as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. To revive it or remove FRP lock, you need the specific Firehose Loader (Programmer) file tailored for the SM6225 platform.
