How to fix null IMEI 000000000000000 ?

Hello guys, it's me again haha.
I haven't had so much trouble with any phone but the Mate 9. After I tried to restore my device to stock and it didn't work out and my phone didn't start anymore, so I made my MHA-L29C432 to a MHA-L29C636 Chinese Variant, so i can access the phone.. now my problem is, that I've no more IMEI and I can't find a way to restore it... I tried to update via Firmware Finder from Playstore; didn't work out because of different Model (obviously). Then I tried out mankindtw's method from here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108) and selected the latest B182-ROM, but now I still don't have any IMEI or Modelnumber, just NRD90M-test-keys and null imei.... I just want to get this damn phone to stock and sell it because it's driving me nuts. Does somebody now a way how to figure it out? Or is the only way funkyhuawei? Is it 100% guaranteed that funkyhuawei works?
Thank you very much and I hope that somebody is able to help me...

When you rebranded you 1st "rebrand" to the region you want, then after it was successful, you are supposed to go in the program again and run "update- to same phone" and run the program again. That should take care of all the problems

The decision is to restore, write to PM

Honor 8 hard brick

Hello.
As many here my phone updated and soft-bricked. I tried to recover it but i guess i did it with wrong method and I hard-bricked it. Than by using dc unlocker phoenix and .app files provided by the online shop where i bought the phone i recovered it back to soft-brick, but now with the red warning message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly". Since than nothing else works - not Dload method (every update either fails or hard-bricks the phone) nor forcing updates through the dc unlocker. While it is hard bricked it does show up in fastboot device list, but that is all. Any ideas what else could I do? Please don't suggest dload method as I have stated above that it is not working.

Use rollback package to Emui 4.1

What do you mean by that? Flash it through fastboot or through the sd card?

thanks for your reply. The problem is that this method so far has not worked. I suspect it has to do with the fact that it is a FRD-AL00 model to which the seller has flashed FRD-L19. In the end this means that neither of rollback packages work. Plus replying to the last comment also - so far I am stuck as I do not have access to dc unlocker phoenix anymore and I am not willing to spend yet another 15 eur without clear plan what to do next. Any ideas how to bring the phone out of the hard brick aside from dc unlocker?

If either rollback to marshmellow dload of Al00 & FRD-L19 ? then use the DC unlocker client 2 . download and see there are some tutorials in youtube.:good:

Hi. To be honest I gave up and took it to service centre and they fixed it. Never told me how though.
I did send them the firmware that was provided for me by the manufacturer so I guess the answer lays somewhere in correctly flashing the correct firmware using some software that I do not have. Or something.
I am sorry that I cannot add anything more substantial to the discussion - I can post some information about what is on the phone now if that helps.

I have Honor 8 FRD-AL10 came with FRD-L19C636B360 from China.
After a notification for new update which I started, the phone bricked. Tried eRecovery, but unsuccessful. Couldn't receive the package from the server.
The only thing that worked out a bit was "dload" method with AL00 version from the link with fabric firmware http mega.nz........
But the phone starts to the language and region section and never runs correctly to the desktop. Always rotates about first "start screen".
No other software works out, tried almost everything.

Have u unlocked bootloader? If no I think isnt other way than service center
edit: or try DC Phoenix tool

I have not unlocked bootloader. I tried DC Phoenix but when I flashed firmware it said "your device has failed verification and may not work properly". Had others things to do at the time and tool expired and I want to know what to do before buying it again.

Solution:
Bought credits on FunkyHuawei and contacted support. The problem was that my phone model was FRD which doesnt exist. It should be FRD-L19, FRD-AL10 etc. Tools which are available for download on FunkyHuawei didnt work because this wasnt a common problem. But their support is excellent. They will help you till you get your phone working without asking for extra money.

honor 8 bricked bootloop

Hi, I have a honor 8 that bootloops I can only access to fastboot not in bootloader or recovery. Bootloader is locked, i can't flash anything and i can't unlock it because I don't have the Product ID. The dload and three fingers method doesn't work. What can I try to unbrick it? I can't even turn it off.

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??

When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.

Try the Huawei tool ... U can fix it easily and you can play around don't panic it's the first thing ...

Maybe you are doing it wrong. As long as you have a stock boot.img and a stock recovery you should be able to use this method.

If you mean Hisuite I already tried it. my PC detects the phone and hisuite launches by itself but then doesn't detect any phones. when I try the rescue tool "resuce mode enter..." appears on the screen but then hisuite says that the phone isn't compatible with the rescue mode.

Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.
What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.
After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language

Ok here i go ... Open the Huawei tool ... And follow steps to install TWRP ...turn of the phone , once it's off hold the volume button down then connect the phone to the PC that would take to some type of fastboot ! Flash recovery the 2 option .... Reboot into TWRP .. from the Huawei tool u would see and option of stock i think there u can copy the recovery OEM info system and boot option flash them all one by one .... Reboot the phone ... And you would be redirected to recovery from WiFi and now it would work since u flash the OEM info now the phone knows what to look for u won't get the getting info failed ... And that's it just makes sure u have a good stable WiFi connection ...
And like a said the more calm and relax u do these the better the first time I screw the phone I almost get a heart atack :crying: it's easy

Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.
Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.
The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.
Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.
Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]
Hello to everyone!!
I have a problem with my Honor 8, it is the FRD-L09 model firmware B394.
I installed Firmware Finder from Playstore and tried to downloaded the B402 version, it downloaded a lot of packages ota and then tried to install the update without success.
After that, when I turn on the phone, there is this message. If I push the power button the phone starts.
I don't know if it can be useful but if I go into fastboot mode the phone says: phone unlocked and frp locked, but I haven't unlock the bootloader. The phone is new, purchase from the honor site.
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I was able to resolve the problem with the rollback guide of huawei, flashing MM via dload!!

When you update with FF, I recommend to use the change DNS thing. Just for the future.

You can try to reinstall EMUI on it. There is a guide called "back to emui from custom roms", which requires the openkirin twrp, though. Anyway, did you check that you have firmware access with IMEI?

Yes, I checked it before start the update
EDIT: Can I use the restore option into Hisuite?

When using either option, in System Update press the 3dot menu and select full package. This will download one large update rather than the multiple OTA files.

Typically you get this problem when you install an update without locking the bootloader.. This happened with me couple of weeks back.. I think happens, cos during the process of the update the bootloader gets locked, but it doesnt come up on the fastboot (donno why)
I just unlocked the bootloader using the OEM code and voila it worked... I was able to get ride of this message as well as root the phone.. Do try and let me know!

Flash update from other region with firmware finder

So before I brick my phone trying this can I flash an update from another region using firmware finder?
My phone is c782 and on 9.0.0.160 but for c432 9.0.0.197 is out.
Firmware finder says it's authorised for install which I would do via erecovery/hotspot with DNS change
I'm not trying to rebrand and don't have unlocked bootloader.
Will this work?
Edit
No. It doesn't work

Dunno had the getting package info failed error and gave up then. I've used FF before so k ow my setup works normally.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Was unlocked ?. A week ago hardbricked my phone and in the recovery process installed a wrong oeminfo. Now I have other imei's than original.....

Oh man that sucks.
I've given up with this phone decided to just see if and when updates are released then wait for a new handset from a different manufacturer. Not sure what yet, I like the Huawei devices but can't support the way they lock customers down. It's like having an iPhone back lol
