Guys, I was too quick when TWRP restoring from my old Swift 2+ to my new Swift 2 X and erased the IMEI (shows 0). I did not restore persist, however, so should be good. Decided to give QFIL a try, but regardless if I do a backup or restore I get: Error: Unable to load QMSL_MSVC10R.DLL, 0x8007007E. Of course, the DLL is there so the problem is something else.

BTW: typing the code to enter diag mode does nothing for my Swift 2X. I used ADB with the command setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb and only after this can QFIL/QPST see and talk to the device.

Any clues or tips?

Also, any other method to restore the IMEI? I downloaded official recovery images, but then I get error 7 when flashing, "downgrade not allowed" since those recoveries are 7.x.x and I am on Oreo 8.x.x - I did do a complete wipe, but still error 7. Any official recovery for Oreo somewhere?

What is your operating system?

What is your operating system?

Windows 10 1809. No worries, Drivers working fine. All modes.

No matter. I sent the unit back to the ebay seller, who actually was doing a "grey" sale. Drop shipping. It even came in the Amazon Prime box. It's not forbidden by ebay, but certainly is for Amazon Prime items. So, he asks me to get it back to him before 16th Nov. I don't care. Can do. His ebay listing was took off and banned even they don't officially ban drop shipping people.

Man you got to be desperate to try to make a few bucks/euros re-shipping items you know nothing about. If you don't meet deadlines or some other reason, you are out of pocket. Good luck!

just be very aware that these operators are getting more and more common. This guy seems keen to get me the refund, your mileage may vary.

PS: Ordered a NIB Swift 2x from a trustworthy German electronics store. Same price. Arrives in a few days.
