Terminator dongle NOT use any smartcard to enter boot mode.
In fact, the Terminator dongle use a 'bug' discovered inside
AVR CPU to bypass the boot authority.
For that reason, all the phones with new AVR ASIC
can become 'all 4 locks closed'.
If somebody can give informations on exactly
what phones this happens (all 4 locks closed),
will help us a lot in finding the problem.
More exactly, hardware version, phone model, software version.

All of this problems NOT happens on DIV software
(or any other flasher software) because the Full version
of dongle (flasher+unlocker) not use the 'AVR bug' to
bypass the boot authority. In fact, all the Flasher (DIV)
dongles have a small SmartCard inside who full emulate
the original EMMA2 SmartCard, and this allow working on any
new version (revision) of AVR CPU (ASIC).

So, again, the last flasher software version (v5.0)
and DIV dongle NOT cause this problem (all 4 locks closed) !!
To get the last version of flasher software (v5.0) ask your dongle vendor.
ONLY the Light dongle (Terminator), and the old flasher software versions make this problem (all 4 locks closed) on certain new week phones.
And the reason why was described here.
