Free Unlock for Egold Lite based LG phones (KP100, GB102 etc.)

Hi, I need to download the script and I can't access through the blog, could you guys please give me a direct link for this?

Thanks,
 
Ok I have done some more reading about HyperTerminal and not seeing any typed characters is normal. I have set in the ASCII options to echo locally typed characters and now I can see the commands I am typing.

I have typed "AT" and pressed enter but nothing happens!
 
I've been trying to unlock a GB102 using the serial (RS232) port on my computer, via a DB9 extension lead (straight), connecting pins 2,3 and 5 to the gold pads on the circuit board (RX, TX and GND). The program won't go past "waiting for bootloader", and Hyperterminal shows no response.

Will the connection only work using a USB - serial adaptor cable?
 
but I don't see GB102 neither KP100 into the list, are EGOLD Lite based.... these are not EGOLD Lite based so...

the script works only for direct rs232 connections at TTL voltage levels. I've successfully used a pl2303 data cable which provides just that on the USB port.
Presumably, the furious box does some processing in-between the cell phone and the computer so it fails. I've had a few successful reports already for direct data cables.

I don't know the pinouts and configuration of LG data cables, but chances are high that it will work when the data cable is detected as pl2303 or ftdi or some other usb-to-serial chip.
 
hi my phone is LG kp100 and the imei is : 358479-02-092815-0

yes, you need a level shifter in any case. not using one can damage your PC and/or the phone.
 
i have a pl2303 usb to serial converter-cable.
the usb-connector is connected to the pc.
the rs232-connector ist a 9-pin db9. which pins of
the db9-outlet must connect with which pins of the phone?
 
the only baud rate which is going to work for you is 115200you need to remove and re-insert the battery after a failed attempt
 
the phone echos the sent characters if the connection is indeed working.


tx/rx are different depending on the viewpoint from where you look: the cell phone's TX is the computer's RX. my guess is that they are indeed swapped.



also, please note that the serial port is shut down once the cell phone goes into sleep, e.g. powers off the display illumination.
 
Either you use the connector:
Gnd - 1,4,14 & 18
RXD - 16
TXD - 17
.. or you use the soldering points in the board. For the KP100, they look like this:

Furious box uses FTDI as interface,Anyway I'm gonna let it down untill a solution be released
 
well, I needed just a soldering iron, a cheapish data cable for an old siemens phone and IDA pro
