Help please, - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

guys, i was trying to get my bootloader code with dc unlocker but i get an error
basically my phone was without serial number so i sended my sn to my phone
now i have the correct sn (imei was ok)
but i still getting that error
i saw that 1 guy had it and somebody sad to him to repair as empty board with hcu but i have no credits for that
i gues the problem is: my phone is with frdl04c567b397 firmware
but when i connect in manufacterer mode the hcu shows me testkeys firmware
i don't know why
i really want to install lingeage os (it is a honor 8) but i don't know what to do
i already sended updates changing dns on my router, and the firmware still testkeys
when i connect in bootloader mode shows me the right firmware
i really don't know what is wrong
firmware boots up and everything works fine so i really really don't know what is wrong besides i had no sn but i already fixed that
(hcu client also shows me no wifi and bluetooth mac, what is weird cause both wifi and bluetooth are working)

S6 Bricked - Smart Switch Serial Number issue

My son attempted to root his S6 with Odin and failed. His phone is SM-G920R7 (nTelos) and there are no compatible roms - but that didn't stop him from trying. So we are got the "An error has occurred updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." So, downloaded that, went to the software update and initialization section to try to reinstall the factory software. It takes the Model number (above), but then asks for the serial number. I've tried both IMEI# on the back and any other numbers I can come up with. No luck.
I called the carrier and Samsung and each of them told me to call the other. Does anyone know what "serial number" (technically s/n: is the prompt) they want? Thanks.
It seems at this point that the software is only trying to validate that the serial number exists - the phone is not connected to the computer. But entering any of the numbers mentioned above only lead to an error stating the serial number is not valid.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Same issue here.

First forum post, having the same issue. Very weird... I bought my phone at a Bell corporate store, so no illegal issues there or anything. Very confused!

Yes serial number is s/n. It's written on back of your phone check it.
The s/n is written on the back of the phone
Anyone figure this out? Cannot get Smart Switch to accept my s/n. Thanks.
Same problem here. Nothing says serial number on my box, in my phone, or on the back. Only says IMEI which does not work in Smart Switch.

Having the same issue with my S7 (SM-G930FD). I've definitely got the correct serial number as I've registered the device on Samsung's website and I got the serial number from there.
I've managed to flash it again by getting back to the screen where it tells me to intialise the device using Smartswitch then I've just used Odin to reinstall the firmware again. Have had to wipe everything but at least I've got my device back. (The initialisation screen appears to be a different screen for the download mode)

Flashing a mate 8 problem

Hi hope someone can advise as I'm loosing the will to live
I've a mate 8 NXT-L29C636 which I believe is asia region although I've from the UK
I was running stock android 6 with EMUI 4.0
When I ask it to check for any update, it always came back with no updates.
I saw plenty of threads saying they had updated to android 7 and 8 and how they done it.
So I downloaded Firmware Finder from Google play and without too much difficulty managed to start installing firmware. That's when my problems started
This was two weeks ago and I've been spending 100+ hours trying to recover.
I think it failed a 5% or something and since then my phone will not boot properly.
I can only fastboot it and sometimes to erecovery and EMUI to wipe/factory reset
Searching forums it seems DC Phoenix was the only software that could help so I bought it.
So far I've tried flashing firmware from DC-Unlocker site in standard more but all goes ok with success for all the partitions but it requires the phone to put into upgrade mode, something my phone never does and I can't force it.
So that leaves me with advanced mode, again all successful but booting the phone just gives the huawei logo then reboots again
I've tried different stock roms NXT-L29C636 but they all claim successful but still can't boot my phone
I've followed the steps in DC-Phoenix instructions to no avail.
The last step today meant shorting a pin to ground to force the phone into a mode when it was seen as windows as Huawei USB COM device, which seemed to work.
The instructions claimed I can use any NXT board flash as they're all the same and again all successful i used
NXT-AL10_M00A102_Board Software_Global _Nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_05021WLB_4.dtwork
but the log file now says build is;
Build number: HLNXTAL10BM00A102
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Battery state: 3249mv
from
Build number: :NXT-L29C432B192
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Battery state: 7035mv
So my question is am I using the wrong firmware? It is always successful so I don't think it's bricked but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
Other things to mention is pressing vol - and vol + and power with sd card and dload doesn't work either.
Sorry for long post and thanks for reading
Any help very much appreciated
No-one? I didn't expect a reply right away, but I can't be the only one with questions? Is there a better forum to post on?
Thank you
so for any noobs out there, got this work. My problem was the phone would never go into upgrade mode. The problem was in device manager (windows 7x64 but doesn't matter which version of windows), was when DC-Phoenix tried to put the phone in upgrade mode the command was sent and acted on but device manager showed warning triangles that it didn't have a driver or the driver was only partially loaded.
When I directed it to the downloaded Hi-Suite (which has all the drivers) it loaded the driver(s) there are TWO drivers on virtual COM ports. So if you phone is not going into upgrade mode best to check that Windows can actually see these TWO COM ports.
Hope this helps someone

EFS deleted so no IMEI/signal & Bootloader locked

I got hold of this perseus which has no mobile signal because previous owner deleted EFS partition by mistake. There is no IMEI, that's why it's not registering on the mobile network. Then again, its bootloader got locked by installing latest stock MIUI 11 global through MiFlashTool. So, I can't get to the point of repairing the IMEI with the stock recovery.
When I try to unlock bootloader it says to authorize the device from developer option, but that authorization requires SIM connectivity. Without sending SMS or without using mobile data it can't authorize the device and it won't let me unlock bootloader.
So here I am stuck with a flagship level phone without any signal. Everything else like wifi & bluetooth seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions from the great minds of xda?
Any method to write IMEI with the bootloader locked?
I've been looking for two days on how to solve this. Seems like there's not a lot to do unless I can unlock the bootloader. Even the EDL mode is locked. I turned to Miracle Tool for Xiaomi but their website says servers are currently not working. Then there's Chimera Tool, but it's too expensive to buy for just one phone.
Then I found out there are two more ways of getting to EDL mode. One is, opening up the device and shorting JTAG pins to boot into EDL, which is commonly known as test point method. And the other is, using an EDL cable which I can easily make at home.
Now I'm going to make an EDL cable to see if I can get into EDL mode successfully. If I can, then I will be able to repair the IMEI with other softwares. Although I don't have a QCN file for the MIX 3 yet, I'll concentrate on getting to EDL mode first.
:fingers-crossed:
EDL cable method don't work on these newer phones anymore. And these are also EDL-locked so test point method needs an authorized xiaomi account to access using EDL. If you google "Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts" then you'll find an excellent article that points out the issue in this new security system. Because of this my phone is now network-dead and can never be fixed from Bangladesh.
If anyone finds any solution to this problem in future please do let me know here. Thank you.
