Downloading the flashes is one thing... What do you intend to do with them once you download them??

Reading them out is not a big deal...Flashing them back takes a lot more then a simple flashing cable setup.

You can find the FLASH LOAD/PROMMER boxes etc by doing a search on the web at STUPIDLY INSANE prices if you really want them.

Otherwise all the models you listed are discontinued or will be very soon (8265,3360) so I wouldnt be to concerned with those.

i've been spending a lot of time lately doing some research on esn for tdma/cdma and i think i am close to being able to change it....
i dont have any dongles again because i left the company i was working for...

also i will like to modify some of the older phones in very little ways like the 6160 and 8860 etc i will like to add ringtones and enable write message etc in those phones....

i have 50+ 8860's,8260's and a couple 7160's that i need to flash and rewrite the esn on.....

the 8265 and 3360 and the 1260 i will like to modify esn on....
and repair/unlock

@jibril_s

Having a FLS-2 if it is not DE-ACTIVATED and has a flash count left will ALLOW you to FLASH (write) to the phones.
It does NOT allow you to READ the FLASH BACK.

None of the NOKIA SVC SOFTWARE is setup to do reads.. since for the most part there would be no reason to do that in the field as you would only upgrade.(Nokia's thinking)

You will NOT be able to upgrade a 5160 to 5165, the actual hardware is different. What version software does your 5160 have now?

@trini_tdma
Well, keep your research up on doing the ESN change without having a FLS-2,4 or PKD w/3 box setup you will not be able to update the Authority ID aka (FAID) so therefore any FLASHING (writing) to the phone unless the EXACT same software version will deem the phone inoperable.. It will never Scan Lock on a control channel.

Never saw a working PKD-emulator... Theres plenty of cracked copies of Wintesla floating around.

As far as the schematic for the flasher cable..

USE SEARCH on this forum for starters... Theres tons of threads that mention that.

Do you have the original files to convert??

Otherwise if you want to play around give us 1 model and version# and we will send you over the .fls format of it.

Which cable did you build?? (chip type)
