Hi Guys...has anyone yet converted a DRS-11 cable from Data to Service?

Opening the "Phone-End" connector its a pretty buzy area with all the RS232 parts on same PCB..I'm enclosing a couple of photos just is case y have not seen it yet...seems like a straight forward deal to do the re-soldering though...

I tried, but it wouldnt work.
I just switched the pins like in the scheme by soldering wires.
Multimeter says all good, but phone isnt recognized.

I have an cable just like you,I ripped off the pin connector 4 and 5 from the PCB, put an wire from 4->6 and 5->7. and connected 9 and 11 with an wire,

flashed an z1010 with that cable without any problem with totalserver,

but was not able to unlock the phone. just got error.. very strange

Does the T-28 cable fit into a T610?

hi, is there any way to convert a cable to act like a syncstation? cause there's this online update service on the se website for the k700i, and i don't want to buy a syncstation cause it's too expensive.

Modding the cable was not a problem. But I am having a very hard time with driver installation. The computer always detects it as a DCU-11 cable, not a Prolific USB to Serial. No matter if I uninstall it, remove it during Safe Mode, hidden items on device manager, nothing.

Tried diff versions of the prolific driver. No good.

Anyone get any clue? Please help.

hello theslugger,

im wondering what software you are using for unlocking and also wondering if your cable has 4 wires or 3 wires. the t28 i have has no wires soldered on pin 9 so i just jumpered it with 11 which there is nothing on 11 as well.

Thanks

Is this method applicable to the DCU-11 USB cable too? e.g. swaping pins on the phone end, convert into a USB flashing cable
