Samsung F480

[mark_1903]

Hi,

I am new to this so excuse my stupidity

I am trying to unlock my f480 and its frozen, whenever i try to do the unlock from the program i get :-

"Looking for phone...
Phone detected. Mode: Samsung
Error: PhoneModel Read!"

I think this is a problem with me not getting the Qualcomm drivers to install properly as they don't show in the com port detect or in device manager.

Any help on what i can do to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

you need to enter qualcomm mod,, for this you need the operator card the phone is locked to,,
enter menu(you must be able to use keyboard),, enter this *#782872#
install driver and then read codes

put phone without sim in test mode *#0002*28346#, back, back, back, 9, 6, 1 = samsung usb mode

I have tried putting the phone in samsung mode but i am getting the same problem.

When i select the settings box i don't get the Qualcomm drivers listed, only COM1 - communication port and COM9 - Samsung CDMA modem.
This is where i think my problem is.

I have tried downloading the Qualcomm usb drivers but wot to i do with the files that the rar file contains :s

Any help would be greatly appreciated

so it mean that phone is not in qualcomm mode.
enter code: *#782872# and phone will be in qualcomm and now plug usb cable. If Your phone is freezed then U must have card with what phone works to able to enter any digits to phone(virtual keyboard on touch screen is locked while phone is freezed)

I finally got a sim card that the phone was locked to. entered the card and got the phone on ok and used the *#872782# code to access the qualcomm mode.

Then connected the usb and started the kulankendi server and selected the F480 and selected unlock and clicked on unlock but i am still getting the error "Error: PhoneModel Read!".

When i select read phone codes that is coming back ok but are all disabled and all 0's. When i select read unlock codes i getting the same error as above even though the phone is frozen and i shouldn't select it.

I have tried changing the usb mode from qualcomm to samsung and i am still getting the same problem.

I am sure this is a simple problem and i am doing something stupid lol

Any help is appreciated.

Yeah sorry i used code *#782872#, was trying to remember off the top of my head :s

I downloaded the files from support but where do i put them, this is what i think my problem is!

[mark_1903]

re-downloaded the files and put them in my drivers folder and when i got the connected it showed qualcomm in the device manager and was able to select qualcomm from the com select and just 1 click and it sorted

Thanks for the help
