Basic questions about NSDongle - Please help - GSM-Forum

amigo_rk · 10-25-2005, 17:20

I am a newbie to NSDongle. I just went throught he NSDongle user documentation on the support site. I have couple questions. I appreciate if anyone could answer these questions

These are pretty basic questions but that will help me get started with the NSDongle.

1. While I was going through the NSDongle User Manual, on Page 5, the first screenshot shows that the phone should be OFF while clicking Unlock button. After that, console says "Power the phone within 30 seconds". Does it mean that it already finished the unlock process and wants me to power the phone ON while the phone is still attached within 30 seconds?

2. Do I need to keep/remove the SIM card in the phone while unlocking / flashing?

3. It shows how to read the unlock keys. Can someone tell me on how to manually enter the codes.

4. Page 8, last line says "For best results use FTDI USB to serial cables or adapters. When I bought NSDongle today, I received the serial cable (12 IN 1). Is there a USB cable (12 IN 1)?

6. I see a extra wire on the 12 IN 1 cable to attach a 9v battery. Do I need to attach a 9v battery to the wire while unlocking phones?

Thanks in advance

1. you press unlock first and then PRESS power on after that. not after finish unlocking

2. remove sim

3. have to use foreign sim card first to force the phone to allow you to enter code

4. there are some usb to com but they are not 100% working...we will find better ones soon

6. yes on certain model like D500 have to use 9v battery

and THANKS for your business

Thanks you for your response.

As for the 6th response, How would I know when (which phone) to use the
9V battery. Is there a place where I can see the list of phones that need 9v battery?

Thanks in advance.
