Try to execute this command:

fastboot oem getversions

And tell me result.
If it still doesn't work properly, flash these partitions manually.

I have noticed when phone is in fastboot mode there is not seen in device manager under other devices. When I manage to turn off (I think so. the screen is black) is seen in other devices with QUSB_BULK_SN:8BD3BA87

Qualcomm EDL mode.
In this case, try to install driver and see if the driver points to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
If yes, try to use QFIL to write abl_proto.elf into both abl_a and abl_b partition via this guide - the firehose programmer you'll need can be downloaded from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...loader-for-nokia-8-3-5g.4233949/post-84494863

Fixed mine with these simple steps

1. Install ADB/Fastboot to laptop
2. Connect phone to laptop
3. Execute command "fastboot continue" from command prompt
4. Phone boots and takes ~1minute to hear Nokia Tune
5. Done

So I tried using adb and got the same error multiple times of cannot read and then when I tried SD card it says failed to apply update system may not turn on. It still stuck in the same loop and I don't know why it's not picking it up. I downloaded the drivers from the link you provided another user too.

Hi all,
the unbrick fix package and FAQ are updated to fix these issues:
- Correct Fastboot driver is now included. To prevent Fastboot mode becomes faulty, you must import RegistryFix.reg then you can proceed to the procedure.
- Package itself is updated to newly updated May 2023 Security Patch (00WW_3_490_SP06 / 00WW_3_49F).
- We discovered the adb cannot read ZIP file is caused by outdated ADB binary (especially from Minimal ADB and Fastboot). You must delete outdated ADB binary before you proceed.

We're still looking for solution to those who failed to finish the procedure.

Got it to work on my dads phone :D
Followed the guide but had to flash everything line by line, the script did not work, even after adding the reg-file to registry on my pc (how do I remove those lines by the way?)
Before trying one by one flash line, the phone just boot-looped.

Also glad the guide was updated with an zip that contained the fastboot driver, the fist I downloaded had not this and I was wondering where it was.

I also guess its normal that Malwarebytes sees fastboot.exe and adb.exe as an "virus, I think I saw this waaaay back when I had an android phone myself

    As I mentioned before, unlocking the bootloader will fix this issue.
    But if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then this guide is for you.

    DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF JUNE 2023 OR NEWER UPDATE RELEASES IN FUTURE!
    YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE, REVERSE, SKIP ANY OF THE STEPS!

    We assume you know how to use ADB/Fastboot commands.
    Before you proceed, make sure you have your phone's battery charged as much as possible, or the bootloader will not allow you write any partitions.

    1. Download this package and extract:
    Non-Chinese users: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822058340
    Chinese users can download from here:
    Code: 
    SHA256: 72425ebdf249f523c81646786eb92d57229e9164ad25be2ef2d920eb7176fcd3

    You should keep at least 10,030MB (10GB approx) empty space.

    2. Open FastbootDriver folder and open DPInst64.exe (or DPInst32.exe if you're using 32-bit Windows) to install correct Fastboot driver. Once Fastboot driver installed, open RegistryFix.reg to prevent fastboot mode become unstable.

    3. Sideload Android 10 Full OTA Package Under Recovery mode. Enter Recovery Mode by using either of these 2 methods.
    - Execute these 2 commands:
    Code: 
    fastboot reboot-fastboot
fastboot reboot-recovery
    Then this phone will boot right into Recovery menu.

    - At Fastboot screen, use Volume key to select Recovery mode, then power key to confirm.
    When you see Android robot lying, press Volume Up key while holding power key to get Recovery menu.
    We recommend users to use method 1 as many people don't know how to press such combination key.

    4. Download this Android 10 Full OTA package:
    or from here: Chinese users who don't have access to Google server can download from here:
    Code: 
    SHA256: ba940f216f8d69de988005a6c61ba03073a5b0aacb0789005db5f2f2befe1a02

    Please re-download this package if SHA256 is incorrect.

    5. Use volume key to select "Apply update from ADB", then power key to confirm.

    6. Execute this command to sideload Android 10 Full OTA to your phone:
    Code: 
    adb sideload /path/to/627142c637bf373410e6b8911aeb9b2e65bd5969.zip
    You may see downgrade not allowed message on screen, but it will be installed anyway. Wait for the procedure completes.
    If the procedure halted at 94% and it says "adb: failed to read command: No error", it's expected.

    7. Use volume key to select "Reboot to bootloader", power key to confirm.



    8A. To Windows users, double click "0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd", and wait for the procedure completes. We only guarantee it will work on Windows 10 and 11.

    DO NOT RUN IT WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES!
    -

    8B. To non-Windows users or you prefer to flash the package manually, execute these commands. It's absolutely discouraged to use outdated Fastboot binary (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot).
    Code: 
    cd /path/to/where/you/extracted/package/

    FAQ and Troubleshooting

    Q1. ADB prompts cannot read '/path/to/zipfile.zip' when sideloading!
    A1. You're probably using outdated ADB binary (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot). Always use latest Platform Tools from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

    Your outdated ADB binary might be installed at following directories. We strongly recommend you delete it before you proceed.
    Code: 
    C:\adb
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\system32

Delete these files:
adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe

    Q2. Can I safely update to newer security updates?
    A2. Yes you can. In case it bricked the phone again, rollback with this method.

    Q3. The phone gets into bootloop while reinstalling firmware!
    A3. To re-enter Fastboot mode, hold volume down key and power key while connected to PC. When the phone displays android one again, release power key immediately but don't release volume down key. Your phone should boot right into fastboot mode without vibration. You may need to try it multiples of times.

    Then, re-open 0_OpenMeToInstall.cmd .

    Q4: Why we don't recommend you to use "fastboot continue" method to "fix" the phone?
    A4: 00WW_3_49E build has following known issues:
    * You cannot install APK directly on device. PackageInstaller will crash immediately when you attempt to install APK.
    * You cannot install newer OS update.

    Those who're staying at 00WW_3_49E can reboot the phone into bootloader mode and follow this method to reinstall 00WW_3_49F update.

    Q5: Can I do this under Windows 7?
    A5: We can only guarantee it will run under Windows 10 or 11. Take your own risk if you're using Windows 7.

    Q6: How to acknowledge if SHA256 is correct?
    A6: For Windows users, you can install 7-Zip or it's fork (e.g. NanaZip), and you can find SHA256 checksum feature by right click on the file.
    For macOS or Linux users, execute this command:
    Code: 
    sha256sum /path/to/package/you/d/like/to/checksum.zip

    Q7: What if the PC is infected by Synaptics virus - where executables become into "._cache.fastboot.exe"?
    A7: Please look for an antivirus app you trust, do a full scan then restart. It's most likely caused by using USB Redirector Customer Module before from unknown sources.

    Q8: I got "This is not Nokia 8.3" error, but I'm pretty sure it's Nokia 8.3!
    A8: I'm afraid that you have ignored some procedure. You must install have driver installed properly before you proceed.

    Q9: The PC does not detect the device. I got "The USB device returned an invalid serial number string descriptor." in Device Manager.
    A9: Open Administrator privilege command prompt, powershell of terminal, execute these commands:
    Code: 
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d1d00d" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d14ee0" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags" /v "IgnoreHWSerNum18d1d001" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    After that, use volume key to select "reboot to bootloader" on your phone and try again.

    Q10: The phone is listed under Universal Serial Bus Controller as "Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in Device Manager.
    A10: This is caused by following reasons and none of them are related to USB driver:
    * USB port on your PC or phone is too loose.
    * You're using USB cable with low quality.
    * If full-size desktop PC, you're not using the USB port on the rear side. Using rear side USB port is always preferred.

    Q11: Something wrong happened when using early version of UnbrickFix package, now I cannot enter Recovery mode and cannot flash anything under Fastboot mode. How can I revive my phone?
    A11: You'll have to utilize EDL method at this point. Install prototype ABL by following the topic below. Once prototype ABL images are installed, reboot the phone back to fastboot mode and reopen latest version of UnbrickFix package. Note you don't need to unlock the bootloader, just install prototype ABL.

    Alternately, if you have external SD card, try to put the package into SD card, then use "apply update from SD card" to install it.
    BTW, are you using adb.exe inside of unbrick fix package, or you downloaded it separately (e.g. Minimal ADB and Fastboot)?

    If you're using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, please don't use it. Use this instead:
