You'll get that error if the imei/serial number isn't valid -- unfortunately that's not something I can help with unless you somehow give me your real SN (something that starts with RFxxxx), and you probably shouldn't share it with strangers, so not quite sure how to help.

(FWIW, the checkupdate command doesn't use it, so that it worked doesn't mean anything)

If you're sure you used a correct imei or SN then they might have changed something again, I don't have my normal PC with me to check; might want to have a look at https://github.com/zacharee/SamloaderKotlin or another reimplementation that's more actively maintained. But try to check if you use the correct SN first :)
