Sorry, Qualcomm 821 cannot be used, and there is no supported uefi on Android phones

At the same time, 821 can only start the UEFI of arm32, but this is useless

And Qualcomm 821 should not be mentioned here. Thank you for your question

Snapdragon 821 doesn't have all the necessary uefi, linux and windows qualcomm drivers to create a edk2 port. And also its bootloader is arm32, so you can only use 32-bit OSes without some hacks.

Boot Shim probably could help: https://github.com/imbushuo/boot-shim

Thanks for all the answers. I honestly didn't know that much before I asked. I thought that since I had compiled kernel and linux based operating systems before, it has a similar logic. It has a very different logic. Thanks again for the information.
