If you insist on the virtualbox or vmware, we cannot promise that you can succeed to flash.
If you still want to try the QFirehose on Virtual machine.
You can try
Once you see the
[004.348]: switch to ‘Emergency download mode’
[004.348]: qusb_noblock_write write=-1, errno: 5 (Input/output error)
[004.348]: qusb_noblock_write cur=0, min_size=7
[004.348]: qusb_noblock_read read=0, errno: 5 (Input/output error)
[004.348]: qusb_noblock_read cur=0, min_size=1
[005.369]: fail to fopen /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/uevent, errno: 2 (No such file or directory)
[006.375]: fail to fopen /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/uevent, errno: 2 (No such file or directory)
[007.379]: fail to fopen /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/uevent, errno: 2 (No such file or directory)
[008.381]: fail to fopen /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/uevent, errno: 2 (No such file or directory)
Then connect the device into the virtual machine again. And try run the QFirehose again.
The USB VID/PID should be
05c6/9008.
