GSM T2xx and T3xx series works with the cable (serial and USB, no-name and OEM) if you set the COM port speed to 9600 under device manager. If you don't, it MAY still work if you let the software detect the phone for say, 10 minutes.

If "optimized charging" appears, then it's just a charging cable. A flashing cable will not cause the phone to display such message.

A USB data cable has a built-in "Prolific" USB-Serial adapter. So if your USB cable has only small plugs (with no room for the adapter chip), you know it's a USB charging cable.

hey estor,

when i try connecting my T230 with my serial data cable in FMA, "optimized charging" appears on the phone, and it never connects.

is there anything i can do to prevent it from charging the phone?

well, I suppose you can open up the connector and cut the wire.
