i9190 factory unlock - GSM-Forum

dmayan · 07-30-2014, 21:12

Hi,

I'm trying to factory unlock a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (i9190), but I can't get Chimera to recognize my USB-Serial port adapter (I have two) so I can use my micro-uart cable.

How can I tell Chimera which port to use?

Thanks in advance,

Diego

Dear dayman,

please try to close the all sofware what can use your USB ports. Sometimes in the task manager the widows automatically detected the phone as unknown, in this case you need remove it from the task manager and connect your phone again to the computer.

kind regards,

Thanks for your answer,

My phone is correctly detected. Chimera is not recognizing my usb-serial converter and I dont know how to tell Chimera which COM port to use.

How can I configure that option?

Thanks,

Well, I did a factory reset, and reflashed with latest firmware, now Chimera is able to read the IMEI, but it cannot unlock it.

Please tag it as Solved...

What I have done:

1 - Disabled all COM ports and emulators in my PC except for the Sigma Box COM Emulator (Even the native ones, I have only left active the Sigma Box one)
2 - Reboot
3 - Attempted to unlock with SIM card <<< FAILED
4 - Attempted to unlock without SIM card <<< SUCCESS!!!

Thanks Chimera!!
