why my pinfinder cant detect any pinout?

[Ghaya_thok]

i follow every instructions in manual, but still can't detect any pinout..
i test phone with known rx-tx still dont work.
i test again with phone in pinout database still dont work too..
whats wrong with that..?
what must i do...?
my pinfinder adapter's broken or something..?

sorry for my bad english...

Did you tried to make "selftest" according to PinFinder manual ?

[Ghaya_thok]

i've done well, but nothing different still failed detecting pinout

[Ghaya_thok]

should i tell my pinfinder reseller...?

[InfinitySupport]

Please, give me an answer: Did you tried to make "selftest" according to PinFinder manual ?

[Ghaya_thok]

how can i do this "selftest"...?

[InfinitySupport]

Please, read PinFinder manual, page 13.

And I strongly suggest you to read PinFinder manual before start work !!!

[Ghaya_thok]

i do selftest as you say...but still can't detect any phone..
i test phone with known rx-tx still not connected..
i test with my own cable, everything is ok no problem. i can connect my phone and can do flash, safe format. etc..
i thing my pinfinder is broken...

Please, give me an answer #1: Are you able to Power-On phone after you have connected + and - wires to phone instead of battery ?
Please, give me an answer #2: Did you read PinFinder manual ?

Please, be honest and give me honest answers for my questions. It is very important for me to get HONEST answers due to until now we had no problems with PinFinder hardware but it was many problems with users who did not read manuals and talk not honest information about "faulty PinFinder".
But after manual reading all problems was solved.

As I can see you are not experienced user, so, please, give me exact answers to my previous questions and then we will see what to do.

[dompezvicky]

should i tell my pinfinder reseller...?

you should test first is ur infinity-box suplies up to 5volts if not, remove the diode as shown in the manual.
then be sure to switch put "POWER-ON" in the pinfinder software before u try to detect pins. for the first time it can be hard, but u will be happy latter, i asure u. just READ MANUAL CAREFULLY. dont rush.
Hope u succeed.

i did self test..
i did jumper and remove diode in my infinity box.. (multitester show +5 volt) my phone can power on from box as battery.
i read carefully pinfinder manual and i follow it..
i didn't cut wire as pinfinder manual shows because my wire is not like in pinfinder manual (no additional unneeded wire)..

what should i do now...?
my pinfinder still can't detect Automatic pinout detection and can't do manual pinout selection.


please help me, i have no more money to buy pinfinder adapter again..

[InfinitySupport]

What phone you have used for tests ?

[Ghaya_thok]

mito 288GG, Cect Q2628i, Mito TV800, Startech ST67, Siemens Benq C30, kTouch D700, and iMobile 318

I can connect and safe format for Mito 288GG, Mito TV800, Startech ST67, And iMobile 318 with manual cable (I build by my self because i know this rx-tx pin)..

[Ghaya_thok]

sorry i haven't test siemens benq c30..

Uf...
As I can see you have tried to use PinFinder for phones that was unknown for you and as a resul you can not test PinFinder well.

Please, let's be serious and let's test your PinFinder device with phones that has well-known pinout instead of try phones with unnown CPU and unknown pinout.
Please, see here detailed step-by-step instruction for well-known phones: http://www.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=526956

If you still insist that you want to use PinFinder for phones that you listed, please, lets start from begin and let's make everything step-by-step.
So, lesson is started...

1. take mito 288GG phone
2. open phone and post here what is phone CPU chip name
after you will post here your answer we will give you instruction about next step.
Waiting for your answer

Very good...

Now make this:
1. remove battery from phone
2. connect + and - wires from PinFinder to phone
3. make "Power" button in PinFinder software pressed
4. try to power-on phone
Is it possible to power-on phone ?

[..:HGSM:..]

- yes phone power on
my problem is , whene i clik "find it !" buton the "power on" buton change automaticly to off and here my phone cant power on and cant detecte pinout.
please answer me quickly because it's not my phone
is that my customer and he wants to take.
thanks

According to your question I am absolutely sure that you did not read PinFinder manual, in other case it should be no this kind of questions.
So, even if procedure described more than clear in manual, let's make everything step-by step and let's help you to read manual now to avoid many strange questions in future.
If you want to tryby yourself again, please, read page 16 in PinFinder manual, in other case I will gude you step-by-step.

So, here is procedure:

STEP-1: open phone and tell me what is phone CPU chip name.
If you do not know CPU chip name tell me "I do not know CPU chip name or I can not open phone".
Waiting for your answer.

[..:HGSM:..]

CPU chip name is MT6226

[InfinitySupport]

Now connect cable to PinFinder 26pin connector and connect cable to phone.
Connect + and - wires from PinFinder instead of phone battery.
Run PinFinder software
Press "Detect Adapter"
Select cable type
Select "PinFinder (Automatic)" page
Select CPU type: "MT6205, MT6217-MT6228"
Press "Find It" button
Now press and HOLD PHONE "POWER" BUTTON ALL TIME DURING PINOUT DETECTION PROCESS

Now questions:
1. what is cable type that you have connected to phone ?
2. do you see PinFinder "power" led blinking ?

[..:HGSM:..]

phone is cect U8800
1-cable L8A
2- yes

[CPUKILLER]

step1 initialize pin find adaptor

step2 select cable type

step3 select cpu type or whatever the platform of cpu u are working on

step4 then press find it switch

and follow instructions
after the pins are found save them and run the software u want to use

You have found 2nd CPU pinout (MT6205 CPU) but you need to find MT6226 pinout.
To repair phone you need to fins 1st CPU pinout and then format 1st CPU but not 2nd.
If you still want to format 2nd CPU you need to press and hold phone Power button all time during operation !

How to find 2nd CPU pinout ?
Press "More" button in PinFinder, exclue pins that was found for 2nd CPU and repeat autodetection process again (this procedure is well explained in PinFinder manual).
Waiting for your results.

Are you sure that this phone has 2 CPU and that it's dual sim phone ?
Did you tried to open phone and check PCB ?
Many phones has RX and TX test points at phone PCB but not at phone connector.

[..:HGSM:..]

pohone have 1cpu MT6205BA
no rx tx testpoint in MB :confused:

[..:HGSM:..]

sorry i mistake , phone have 2 cpu
i find it Under keybord ,name :MT6226

[InfinitySupport]

It is need to check PCB more carefult, if PinFinder can not detect MT6226 pinout at phone connector this means that RX and TX should be marked at PCB.
Anyway, as you can see, your PinFinder works and can detect pinout in automatic mode.

ok, I am happy that my PinFinder is not broken and it works well ... :)
but a half work is not logical.:rolleyes:

where is a problem please ?

[InfinitySupport]

In some cases you need to open phone and short "POWER_B" point to GND to be able to find 2nd CPU pinout.

[..:HGSM:..]

i open the phone, look well on motherboard, and there is no power_B to do what I tell you. there is no pinout teste point on the motherboard.
with Pinfinder, there is no other method to find the pinout of 2CPU ?

[InfinitySupport]

Hello,

In some cases it's not possible to detect pinout for both CPU, it may be a result of 2nd pinout absence at phone bottom connector.
If 2nd (or 1st) pinout can not be detected, please, check PCB carefully, it may be that RX/TX (RX_A/TX_A or RX_B/TX_B) test points located at PCB.
More information about pinout detection can be found in "ChineseMiracle" forum http://www.gsmhosting.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=425 in "FAQ" sticky thread.
