Xiaomi Redmi 10C (fog) Firehose Loader (Snapdragon 680) – Download

Revive your Xiaomi budget king. Download the official Redmi 10C (fog) Firehose Loader. This specialized Snapdragon 680 programmer allows unbricking via EDL mode without authorized account access.

The Xiaomi Redmi 10C (Codename: fog) and its regional variants (Redmi 10 Power/10 India – rain/wind) are powered by the efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SM6225) processor. While popular, these devices are prone to “Hard Bricking” after failed OTA updates, downgrading Android versions, or incorrect custom ROM flashing. In this state, the device shows no display and is only detected by the PC as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. To revive it, you need the specific Firehose Loader (Programmer) file tailored for the SM6225 platform.

File Information & Specs

Supported Tools

Modern Xiaomi devices utilize Secure Boot, meaning standard free tools may not work without an Authorized Xiaomi Account. It is recommended to use updated professional service tools that support the Auth Bypass for SM6225:

• UnlockTool (Highly Recommended – Select ‘Redmi 10C’ directly)
• Chimera Tool
• UMT (Ultimate Multi Tool) – QcFire
• Hydra Tool
• MiFlash Pro (Requires Authorized Account)

How to Use Firehose Loader

1. Disassemble Device: The Redmi 10C requires Test Point access to force EDL mode. Carefully remove the back cover and unscrew the motherboard shield.
2. Install Drivers: Ensure the latest Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver is installed on your PC.
3. Short Test Points: Locate the two Test Points (usually near the display connector or battery socket). Short them with tweezers while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Open Tool: Launch your preferred professional tool (e.g., UnlockTool).
5. Load Loader: Most pro tools auto-detect the loader. If using a manual tool, load the prog_firehose_ddr_fog.elf file into the “Programmer” field.
6. Execute Repair: Click Flash or Reset FRP/Mi Cloud to revive the device.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER:
The Redmi 10C (fog) and Redmi 10 Power (rain) share the same chipset but may have different partition tables. Ensure you are using the correct firmware files for your specific region (Global, India, EEA). Flashing the wrong preloader or firehose can permanently damage the UFS storage.
