To search, use the model name before the hyphen + "testpoint".
For example for Honor 9 Lite (LLD-L31) you should Google ["lld testpoint"](https://www.google.com/search?q=lld+testpoint&tbm=isch).

#### HCU Client
All my accounts are blocked due to the political situation. So nvm! :)
As far as I know, there is currently only one tool that can deal with newer CPUs — HCU Client.
Thank you, Martin, Moisés, Tibor, Emanuele & all those I've forgotten (sorry!).
This software requires a license, the most affordable plan is 3 days of access for €19.
