Z-500 unlock problem "USB Port Open Fail" - GSM-Forum

virtualone · 07-01-2005, 16:42

Hi!

Followed the guide in another thread down here and d:led the QIWS V1.16 prog. Managed to fix the db9-connector and everything seemed to run fine while using the prog until it comes to

"Searching SAMSUNG Modem..."
Then I get
"USB Port Open Fail"

Say what? - I can use the EasyStudio w/o problems via the USB-port
so why does this program fail????

Anyone got an answer? - I'd be most grateful!!!

Absolutely - see attached jpg...

I have the modem drivers installed and I use a short circuited db9-connector (pin2-3) as well as the USB cable that was included with the phone! - I start the IMEI Writer program, select
SGH-Z105U and [08]Sweden[Tla], then OK - and then I get to the screen that's seen on the attached image, then I press 'unlock' - and the result
is what you see on the jpg :-(

then change the phone model,there are z105,z105u and z105t.I had also one that was making troubles like this and I short cutted min 2 & 3 with tweezers after 2 sec when I press unlock.And as I see your phone is z500 and not z105 or you made a mistake in writing?

If you are using original cable for data transfer also can not be done.Use this picture
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/show...3&page=2&pp=15 for making cable for it if you haven't made like this.

Yup, it's correct that it's a Z-500 that I have, but the program could
obviously be used for both phones as said in the thread
"Samsung SGH-Z500 complete unlock solution" in this same forum, because
it's from that link being mentioned in that thread that I've dl:ed the prog...

The virtual modem was the problem - my port number was set to #39 and if I hadn't heard about the problem that it had to be less than #10 then I would never have fixed it, but now case solved!!!! - lovely :-D

Virtualone is right, just set the com port in CDMA Modem to a value less than 10, don't mind if the port is already being used
