Hi all...
I know that this has probably been discussed before but the search came up with nothing...
I have 2/3 Nokia 402 (nk402) which is the 5110 on orange...
How can these be unlocked and which method is the cheapest/best method?
What hardware (cables) are required?
What software is required?
Thanks
Sk

Could someone tell me what the difference is between a Flash cable and a F+M Bus cable... Which is best to buy (they are the same price)?
What is Flashing is it just unlocking...
Thanks

flasher goes inot the printer port on your pc and it can upgrade/downgrade the softwere on your phone.
Mbus cable plays with shit in the eeprom
Fbus changes logos ringtones n what ever else logoman does
flashing = the proccess of uploading new software to your phone

Will a flash cable still do the same as a f and M... or in other words can I unlock a phone with a flash cable...?
thanks
SK
If not is there a cable that will do both?

Yes, you can unlock your phone with a flasher. Use NokiaFlasher by Rolis, click Flash-> Unlock...

Thanks guys....
Visit my website and click through to the m-99 website... This site is quite cheap and very fast and reliable.... please always enter it through my site as I get a very very small comission when someone buys something through it... (so long as they buy within 5 minutes of clicking my link... sucks... I know)

You need all of those cables !
Flasher Cable has M&F Bus connection to be used for reading & writing phone files .
M2Bus cable is needed to Update the phone after Writing a File or Opening SIM locks (illegal on other countries) It can be used in LOGO Manager ( for Nokia Phones) too but FBus cable is much better if graphics or tones is involved , you would understand better as you go on !
