Because the DRS- cable is meant for data usage. It's wired differently. It cannot put the phone into flash/debug/engineering/whatever-you-call-it mode. |

do you think it's possible to remake it? Found out to day that you need something called T28 seriall cable... do you think it's possible to make it out of an DRS-11?? and yeah, what is:: GDFS, AVR & ARM??
what does these extensions stand for??

There is a wiring scheme out there that illustrates the difference between a serial data and flash(or T28) cable. A T28 cable costs very little anyway, so I wouldn't mess around with an OEM DRS-11 cable. The ARM/AVR are firmware files, which if inappropriately loaded to the phone(like during an upgrade, you load one in even though you shouldn't), will render the phone crippled, or useless.

You could fry your motherboard in the process of performing a firmware upgrade. The odds of this happening multiplies 10x when the person doing the flashing is not sure of what he is suppose to be doing.
