What is "Command mode" and "Unibox mode"?


PadFinder modes:

- Unibox Mode ( set by default; allows to flash/unlock the phone after the pinout is found using any appropriate software, for instance, Multi-box Chinese Cocktail for ALL MTK-based cell phones ) - used with Chinese Cocktail tool or SPD tool.


- Command Mode ( used for pinout search ) - use with main tool




There is the "MODE LED" on the box near the "SPECIAL" socket, that indicates in what Mode the device is.

If the box is in Command Mode, the LED will be Yellow*.
If the box is in Unibox Mode, the LED will be Red*.
* in some PadFinder devices the LED colors may differ.

You also have an opportunity to switch the box from one Mode to another only by pressing and holding "MODE SELECT" button near the "SPECIAL" socket of PadFinder.

By default, PadFinder is set in UNIbox Mode.

By pressing and holding "MODE SELECT" button for 3 seconds - the box shifts to Command Mode.

By pressing and holding "MODE SELECT" button for 5-6 seconds - the box shifts to Unibox Mode.


The box memorizes the last found pinout even if you have closed the program or shifted to another mode. It is especially convenient for those, who work with big consignments of handsets, because saves your precious time and helps to make your job faster and with the excellent quality!
