Keep your eyes fixed on the progress bar on the bottom of SWDownloader. If you've selected the "Erase all flash" option, it'll take almost a minute to wipe the whole device. What was the last firmware you burned on your modem? Use that.
Unfortunately I don't. I'm still struggling to get mine up and running.

hey try this link: https://phcorner.org/t/smart-bro-evoluzn-fx-pr2l-unlocking-reviving-update-12-01-16.216720/page-7
seem like arnoldET solved this issue before for those like us with the L02C devices. But i can't download that Airtel_MY2108CL_Chiva_L02C_v002_2.97.000_20141209_2000 file.
HELP!!!
There is 2version of L02C the one from February to now is still unlockable !!!
I used the L02B_M028T_vodafone_Cameroun in the initial flashing. But afterwards nothing seem to flash again including the above mentioned. And when I select "Erase all" option it takes just about 2 seconds for the error message to pop up. Also I've gone through the threads but can't seem to find a link to the Ugandan firmware, that's why I asked.

No network with that firmware. It's for hardware version L02C_1_21. What's worse is that the screen doesn't even turn on when you burn this firmware. It just stays off and you have to rely on the web interface.

mean we will never unlock our device?
crying......
but that guy arnoldET said no screen but that there were signal and he used FX version PR2L to reactivate screen. And with help of Argotron, seem like all went back to normal. I tried to ask to arnoldET how he proceed to succes but he never reply to me
It would be great if we knew what they did to get a signal but I guess we would never know.
I'm still hopeful though.. someday this thing will work.
You should tick those two checkboxes, RBLI and RBLR then proceed.Done downloading and I get a "Partial download isn't paralleled with EraseAll option!" error when I select the "Erase All Flash" option because I think the RBLI and RBLR files fail to load.
Any help?
So..
I flashed a certain "L02HSmile_M028A_LCD_NT_V001_8801_2.157.000_20160830_1800.zip" because mixing the RFBN files wasn't yielding any results.
The good news:
I was able to get an LTE signal with the above firmware (other non-LTE signals/3G/2G) couldn't be detected.
The bad news:
The firmware is locked and requires a key. I'm also stuck with this firmware and I can't get it out (WTPTP Error)
My theory is that newer firmwares employ some sort of 'check' based on the date the firmware one is trying to burn was signed. If the sign date is higher/recent compared to the one inside the modem, it burns the firmware. And if it isn't, it throws an error.
Anywho.. I'm searching for newer firmwares that were signed not later than the 30th of August, 2016 to test this theory as the current firmware that I'm running was signed on this date.
