C139 S/W version 1.9.24 (Cingular) - need solution

[klaus06]

The smartclip and DMtool do not work for this S/W version. Is there any solution... is this phone even unlockable???

[CDMA Sucks]

Can you atleast use the code reader?

But ultimately if you can't put the phone into flash mode it isn't workable, I can't believe the trouble people are going to with Tracfone C139's,

your phone has boot?

we need solution for this phone. I have 5 and no solution. The smart clip nor the infinity is connecting this phone.

I have done many C139 v1.9.24 from Cingular and all was unlocked ok with the usual method: (from Smart-Clip web site)

SE J100/C115/C116/C117/C118/C139/C140/C155/C156/E365/V170/V171 unlocking procedure

1. Power off the phone.
2. Connect the Clip to the phone using RJ45 cable.
3. Press UNLOCK button.
4. Press Power button on the phone within 5 seconds after you press UNLOCK button on the Clip. RX/TX leds will blink.
5. E/G led will glow green on success.*

* After successful unlock (green led on) phones with inserted sim card may ask for PCK or NCK code. Enter 00000000 ("zero" 8 times).

I have had no problem unlocking this S/W version either with the smart clip, but today I got 3 C139 Cingulars. The first was no problem. The last 2 no matter how many times I tried the phone would boot before unlock. After reading the posts here I examined the phones and I realized that the two that wouldnt unlock had something in common.The imei number after the 3 zero's in the sequence started with the number 8. I have unlocked hundreds of these and this is the first time I have seen a number higher than 7 after the zero's. I dont have the answer to the problem but I just thought I would share this observation so that someone with more knowledge than me can figure this out.

same problem here.
seems like the phone wont connect and will boot before connecting to any software or clip.

they might have modified the board.

if anyone needs a sample of the phones , i can ship immidiatly.

any help or suggestion will be great.

thanks

I went to Walmart and bought 2 go phone c139's. One with a number 8 after the 3 zero's and one with the number 5 after them and sure enough I could unlock the one one with the 5 in the IMEI but not the 8. They have definitely came out with a new breed.

Today came to me a Cingular's C139 with '7' in IMEI, when I connect to SmartClip and press unlock button the phone begins to boot by itself but I pressed the PWR button inmediatly when its lights the screen and...phone unlocked!!!!

Try this solution, I don't know if it would work with IMEI '8' C139's.

SMART CLIP TEAM....

See some of my past posts. I am not the only one having this issue.

I have never been able to get a smartclip to work on these Cingular C139 phones. I've been complaining on this board about this issue for months. The only reason I bought the SC was to unlock this phone and it has failed ot do the job. I am now stuck with a $300 doorstop unless they do an update that fixes the issue.

I have posted videos on youtube proving that the problem exists. See my old posts for the links.

PLEASE UPDATE... I AM BEGGING YOU!

Smartclip team, please see these videos for proof of the problem:

the only way is test poin for flashing with any early version, you must be use iqbox, after flashing you must make cuttrack again.

Do you have a diagram showing which track to cut?
