PadFinder pinout detection procedure


PadFinder is a hardware module with the special software that detects Rx and Tx signals for different handsets in both ways: manualy and automatically.

Apart from the cables coming in PadFinder's complect, the device can work with all known RJ45 cables. It can be used as a universal interface for the cables you already have at your disposal.

PadFinder should be registered and activated ( click to see the manual ). Activation process is automatic and may take couple of minutes.

Before start working with the phone, the battery should be removed, because the phone takes power from PadFinder.

PINOUT DETECTION PROCEDURE

1. Connect PadFinder to PC via USB AB cable

2. Plug DB26 (26 pins) to "SPECIAL" socket.

3. Plug the appropriate phone connector to the phone input.

4. Remove phone battery!

5. Using power wires from DB26 connect them insted of battery
"+" (red) power wire must be connected to phone "+" contact
"-" (black) power wire must be connected to phone "-" contact

IMPORTANT: After you have connected the power wires instead of battery, look attentively to the box LED: if the RED LED is blinking, YOU HAVE CONNECTED THE POWER WIRES INCORRECT! You WILL NOT be able to start the Main Program and find the pinout!

6. You may check the power wires connections. For this you need to:

- Run Main tool
- Press Power (VCC) "ON"

- Press and hold "power" button on the telephone

* If the handset Powers ON, than power wires are connected correctly and you can start the pinout detection process.
* If the handset can't Power ON, than the power wires are connected incorrectly and you need to double check power wires.

7. Start the Main service tool.

IMPORTANT: PadFinder has two Modes: Command Mode and Unibox Mode.
"Command Mode" must be chosen for searching for the pinout.
For unlocking/flashing the phone you must switch to "Unibox Mode" and run the necessary service tool.
8. Detect the appropriate "Cable type"

13. You can also save the found pinout and name the model, so the next time you don't need to search it again!

14. Now you can use the found/selected pinouts configuration to work with any flashing/unlock software ( for instance, "Multi-box Chinese cocktail" )
