hi instaphone i had same problem today with lg 5300i locked to orange(mep lock failed)but iflashed my phone sucessfully ,----heres the solution--- to solve this u must connect pins 15to18 or u must use external powered cable interface e.g.savvy external powered cable 3volt interface only but dont forget to short pins 15and18 tested 100% ok now ihave my 5300i working ok in my hands so best of luck--and ofcourse idid it in my red box only |
