Stuck with a Lenovo Z5 Pro GT that's frozen on the boot screen, FRP-locked, or just refusing to cooperate? Here's the fix that actually works. Since this is the step most repair techs take before considering ISP or full chip-off recovery. This guide covers the exact test point location for the L78032 and walks through the full process step by step.

The L78032's Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855 platform routes everything through Qualcomm EDL 9008 (HS-USB QDLoader) when accessed at this level. With the device responding, Flash Tool can connect and run FRP reset, firmware flash, or IMEI repair as needed.

Before you start: Before opening the back cover, get USB Driver installed and confirmed — it's a five-minute step that prevents most connection issues.

L78032 Test Point Location

On the L78032 board, you're looking for two small gold contacts. Bridging them during USB connection forces Qualcomm EDL 9008 (HS-USB QDLoader) every time.

Important: Short only the correct test point pads shown above. Wrong contact can permanently damage the device.

How to Enter Test Point Mode (Step-by-Step)

Note: This process involves opening the device physically. Proceed carefully — hardware damage is not reversible.

1Power off the device. Switch the phone off completely, not just a restart. Hold the power button and select Power Off before doing anything else.
2Remove the back cover. Separate the back cover with a plastic prying tool along the seam. Glued models need a short burst of heat first to loosen the adhesive.
3Disconnect the battery. Carefully detach the battery connector using a plastic tool. It's a small step, but it protects the board before you start working near the test point.
4Locate the test point pads. Reference the image above to pinpoint the two gold pads on your actual motherboard.
5Short the test points. Hold the tweezers across both points together, applying consistent pressure so the contact doesn't break.
6Connect USB cable to PC. Keep the short in place and connect the USB cable to your computer — the phone should switch into Qualcomm EDL 9008 automatically.
7Verify in Device Manager. Look for "Qualcomm EDL 9008" in Device Manager under Ports — that's your confirmation it worked.
8Release the tweezers once confirmed. The device stays in this mode as long as connected via USB.
9Open your flash tool and proceed. The device should be detected automatically. Proceed with FRP reset, flashing, or IMEI repair as needed.

 Tip: If Device Manager shows "Unknown Device", reinstall USB Driver and repeat the process. Use a rear USB port, not a hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most often it comes down to one of three things: USB Driver not installed correctly (try a clean reinstall as Administrator), the pads needing a clean with isopropyl alcohol, or a USB cable that's charge-only rather than data-capable.

Yes, if you disconnect the battery first and short only the correct pads shown in the pinout image. Risk comes from touching wrong components or using excessive force near delicate SMD parts.

Simply entering this mode does not erase data. However, any FRP reset or firmware flash operation performed afterward will erase user data. Always inform the customer before proceeding.

Disconnect the USB cable and reconnect the battery. If it still does not boot, flash the official stock ROM using your flash tool while in this mode to restore the firmware.
