My friend tried reinstalling Windows but ran into an error during the file copy stage. He wiped the disk using diskpart clean and attempted a fresh install. Unfortunately, this model (Acer A114-61L with QSIP 7180 SoC) stores the bootloader and firmware on the internal eMMC, not on a separate SPI flash.
The eMMC had around 20+ OEM partitions before the Windows ones. After wiping the GPT, the system no longer boots — just a black screen.
The mainboard only has USB controllers, power circuitry, and an ITE IT5571E-128 EC/KBC. There's no discrete BIOS chip; only the EC has...

[Model] Acer A114-61L (DA0Z8XMB6D0 REV. D) — OEM partitions wiped, need firehose (EDL / QSIP 7180)
Hello everyone,
I have an Acer A114-61L laptop (motherboard: DA0Z8XMB6D0 REV. D) where the OEM partitions were accidentally wiped using the diskpart -> clean command. Now the laptop no longer boots, but it does show signs of life:- Power consumption is around 22 mA when powered on
- It can be switched into EDL mode, where it is detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
- I would like to try restoring the GPT/partitions via EDL
To access storage in EDL mode, I need a firehose loader.
Does anyone happen to have a compatible firehose for QSIP 7180?
