What do you see on your mobile now then? Any screenshots would be helpful. Your detection info doesn't even show SIm lock status so either there isn't one or the device has damaged nv perhaps.

That's what attracted me; the phone asks for NCK network unlock and there are 2 IMEI numbers (the second is just 000000000000000).

Also, Manufacture mode is persistent, couldn't transfer screenshots with PC using MTP

If there are 2 IMEI numbers when you enter the *#06# code on the dial pad on your phone and one of them is all zeroes then there is something done to the phone. Manufacture mode won't help for your phone since it is above the Android 8/2018 sec patch. It can be serviced only via test point method.

An example of correct detection info can be checked in this tutorial https://hcu-client.com/huawei-networ...via-testpoint/ in step 7 where you can see sim lock status in the detection that the phone provides.

Misunderstood! I mean that I cannot exit manufacture mode, if I try Google or Hisuite it always comes back. Should I stop here? no way of recovery?

Difficult to say then why it is so, we've never encountered such a state if the phone is stuck in manufacture mode. If it has reset/clear data from recovery mode then maybe it could help.

Something similar happened before with a kirin 960 phone, I'd consider Kirin 659 and 960 very bad chips to deal with. I'm gonna finish at this point and give it up. thanks
