I got a T29 flash cable (being sold as T68 data cable), and am unable to use it even after modifying it (Pin 9 opened, Pin 7 moved to Pin 5 and Pin 6 moved to Pin 4). Using hyperteminal, it doesn't reply to an at command. It uses the MAX231 chipset. Any suggestions? Am I missing something, COM port config etc...?? |

and try floats mobile agent. its i think the simplest program to use for checking fone-pc communication (after configuring its comport), and besides its sms is much faster that pbtm. you can also upload themes, tones, etc with fma. good luck  |

nope, very straight forward w/ FMA. Just set to the com-port you have connected the cable. and just make sure there aren't any other communication programs running on the background (or TSRs) using the same COM port you had configured for FMA

So fma worked with your original cable conversion? Re the SE programs, try uninstalling then re-installing them

Yes FMA worked, but I am unable to upload images. It just says error uploading the file. Will try reinstalling SE Image editor. I had converted the image to bmp using SE Image editor, and tried uploading with FMA. |

Avinash, I got the flash cable from bazee auctions. It is being sold as T68 data cable, but it did not work. When i checked the pin config it matched that of the test/flash cable.
Ying, now I can upload using FMA. Thanks a lot. but the SE programs do not work at all.

You should be able to do that. Best bet is to use genuine if you get it from SE. Only Float Mobile Agent is working on the modified cable, the SE software are still not able to detect the phone.  |

@sidkumar i have using the generic cable with se programs and it works. I suspect you are having problems with the mpm, whch in my opinion is so unstable and buggy on some PCs. Thats why an uninstall and re-install would often solve the detection problem. Try installing package 2 of the ericsson commumication suite, wc is found at the software section of esato. Hope that helps ü
