HCU error while downloading bootloader

[davejr]

Hi!

I have a Honor 8 (L09) with Kirin 950.
When I want to read phone info I get the error:
FILE TO download: Kirin950_Hi3650_T0_A6.0_V1_3.dtwork
downloading file Kirin950_Hi3650_T0_A6.0_V1_3.dtwork...

Memo log saved to C:\HCU_0382\Logs\20240228_134644_HCU_ReadInfo_.txt

I have tried to run the HCU as administrator, tried connection on Wifi and cable. Firewall and antivirus disabled. No succes. Can I try more thing or it won't working?

I tried to disable software TP in DC phoenix but with this bootloader went into error:
Device detected:

Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Is your phone FRD-L09? Was there only 1 available Kirin950 loader? Have you used DC-phoenix to enable tp on it in the first place?

[davejr]

Yes FRD-L09. Yes only one 950 loader available in the list. End yes I used phoenix to enable tp with the tutorials on the HCU and DC unlocker sites

[Valdemaras]

In HCU directory look for the bootloaders folder, and delete its contents. Then download the bootloaders pack from here https://files.dc-unlocker.com/get/0a...d78ef7aa12b456 exract bootloaders to that folder. If its a downloading problem this should solve it when you use HCU, otherwise it may be phone related issue if it was bricked, or modified, like it had a custom rom, etc situation in which case you may need to attempt flash board software to try to restore it.

Thanks! I think I have unlocked succesfully the bootloader.

Model: FRD-L09
Firmware: FRD-L09C432B407
Rescue: rescue:FRD-L09C432B394
Vendor: hw
Country: eu
Version limitation: ON
Bootloader User lock: unlocked

But now with DC-phoenix I can't exit from software TP. It asked me for the firmware file: HLNEXTAL10M00A106

I tried to update firmware with the tutorial on https://www.dc-unlocker.com/dc-phoen...epair-tutorial, but can't find the file to download in the Download file area. What am I doing wrong?

[Valdemaras]

The download area does not have original firmware files, they are modified, you will need to search for the original one online.
