What is a Driver? | Qualcomm Drivers

It is indeed difficult, to sum up, a driver in a few words. In the most simple way, it is a software component that lets the operating system and a device communicate with each other. This communication can be of any sort including data transmission or more.

Drivers act as a bridge between the operating system and the device you’re connecting to your system. Without drivers, it won’t be possible for your operating system to identify which device you’re connecting to. For our context, Qualcomm Drivers allow any Android Device running a Qualcomm Processor to get detected even in worse cases.

Well, before we jump right into Qualcomm Drivers, you’ll need to understand one simple analogy. Like Windows is to Intel, Android is to Qualcomm. As long as it is working, these devices would be detected. But, what about the times when your device is not running? You might think when would it help. It would. Consider you are flashing a Custom ROM from our Best ROMs Guide and something goes wrong on your end? Your phone would get bricked. How would Windows detect your phone? This is when these drivers would be useful for you. Qualcomm has its own tool which helps you bring your Android device back to life in most scenarios. Once you start exploring the world of Custom ROMs, these tools and drivers would be a savior for you.

If you own a device that doesn’t have a Snapdragon chipset it would not work for you. Other chipsets like Exynos, Kirin, Mediatek would be having their own tools and drivers. But as we all know, Snapdragon is the most developer-friendly chipset now. In the earlier days, Mediatek had crowned this name. However, with time things have changed and Qualcomm is the one now.

Let us start with the installation guide on how to download and install Qualcomm Drivers (HS-USB QDLoader) on your PC system for your Qualcomm Android Device.

We have already discussed the importance of drivers in general and specifically for this scenario. To sum it up in simple words, the drivers which are by default on your system would recognize until your device is up and working. After that, it wouldn’t. That’s why we need other Qualcomm drivers. It allows us to detect our device easily during fatal cases. These Qualcomm Drivers and tools also allow you to install Stock Firmware on your device with ease.
