Hi guys,

I have just tried to unlock an S45 with Freia version 18 (and 15). I do not have any instructions on how to use the software and the only thing I could find on the net was this page

http://www.gsm-support.net/shop/page.php/siemens_s55_simlock_unlock.inc/_87/en/

but this refers to an S55.

Anyhow, when I selected the direct unlock and don't save map then selected the "use Original IMEI" the software did things and came up with "waiting to power on phone" The instructions for the S55 say to press the power on button quickly. If I do this or if I completely turn the phone on nothing happens. I just get the message "phone did not power on". Anyone know what is going wrong. BTW I can access phone book data with Siemens Data suite software so I know the serial cable is working.

Cheers
 
What kind of cable are you using?
It MUST be a not-original serial cable or a original modded one or a USB one.

ORIGINAL serial cable doesn't work if phone is off, because cable IC takes supply from PIN4 of the phone, but this is not powered if phone is off.
 
Cable is not USB, it is serial with its own separate power supply. It certainly causes the battery charging indicator to show on the screen. I am not quite sure I understand what the cable must do to work.

Cheers

Nigel
