SM-N9005 unlock question - GSM-Forum

xenonmb · 07-09-2016, 13:12

Hi, I need some help please.

I got my z3x box new (ordered from fonefunshop) and installed and registered it etc.
Now I am trying to unlock my N9005 with it. i followed the steps up until "Activate Diag from Repair" tab. The phone rebooted and now shows factory mode. What now? Which of the 7 million cables that came with the box do i use? or do i still use the normal usb cable? when connected with the usb cable i get no diagnostic port showing up in the sofware which i am supposed to choose?
it only shows COM3 Opticon OPL/CRD.

Instructions say "install drivers if needed". Which drivers? From where?
In my device manager i got a "Unknown USB Device (device descriptor request failed)" showing up.

Please help. I'm running Win10x64 btw

i had this package downloaded and installed from the shell. are the ones you linked different?

that's only thing needed at this time now check device manager drivers ok or not yet?

i downloaded and installed from your link although it said already installed. i still got the same entry in device manager though :/

Although it think its something from the box? Cause it also shows up when i remove it and scan for hardware changes without the phone being connected.
thanks for helping btw

sooo... i checked and reconnected everything etc. when i connect my phone in factory mode via USB the pc installs it, it shows up as Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite device.

Now i got another device under other that is labeled as USB Serial Port. I assume thats supposed to be the diagnostics port? Windows can't find any drivers for it though. Checked automatic and the z3x folder.... can i manually install a samsung diagnostic port? there are several to choose from however: i got two of each -Samsung Android USB Diagnostic Serial Port (DM), (WDM) and (WMC) and Modem Diagnostic Serial Port and Port v2

nevermind it isnt recognized when i force the samsung diagnostic port drivers on it... says it cant start.... i'm out of ideas

so is it ok to use the normal USB cable? or do i need to use one of the "service cables". Should the diagnostig port show up/install after connecting the phone in factory mode?

wait so now i rebooted the phone out of factory mode and checked the tool, chose the only port available and hit unlock:

Operation: Unlock
Selected model: SM-N9005
Selected port: COM6 SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port
Software version: 25.9

Reading phone info...
Reading IMEI... OK
IMEI: xxx
Unlocking... OK
Reseting... OK
Unlock done
Done with Samsung Tool PRO v.25.9

Is this how its supposed to go? i thought i had to stay in factory mode cause the phone automatically entered it after rebooting with Activate Diag???
