This Thread is for the ones who have troubles using USERPORT (any version) and for NEWBIES and USERS who wants to run phone flashing and unlocking programs under Windows 2000/XP or NT.
If you are using Windows 2000 / XP or NT you are required to use USERPORT inorder to use phone flashers and unlocking tools for any phone.
Before Setting Up USERPORT you have to configure your parallel port settings in your BIOS , it is usually found at the CHIPSET settings make sure your parallel is either set to ECP or EPP or can be ECP/EPP (Refer to your motherboard's manual on how to do it on your PC)
First: Download Userport (If you still don't have one) (link can be found below or at the end of this post)
Second: After downloading the program, extract the ZIP file at your desktop, place it in a folder with the name "UserPort" (for easier use) then copy the USERPORT.SYS file that is included with the USERPORT program,
Instructions under windows:
Right Click the USERPORT.SYS file then click copy, double click the My Computer icon in your desktop or the My Computer TAB (For Windows XP) then a new window appears, at the address bar type the following:
For Windows XP Users, enter: X:\Windows\System32\Drivers
For WiNNT and Windows 2000, enter: X:\Winnt\System32\Drivers
For some instances you also copy the userport.sys file at:
For WinXP: X:\Windows\System32
For Win2000/NT: X:\Windows\System32
after that, press the right click button then click paste
X: - place the drive where your Operating System Is Installed
Third: Run USERPORT by clicking the program ICON
Fourth: Add The Resource Settings for your LPT port (for the flasher cable) and your COM port (for the data cable).
Under "ALL USER MODE PROCESSES GRANT LIST" enter the following values (these resources are usually the defaults)
NOTE: Do NOT write LPT1 PORT, COM1 PORT on the blanks, only the resource address (eg: 378-37F etc.), a newbie here posted that he cannot run Userport because he included the word LPT1 Port on the blank.
LPT1 PORT: Place "378-37F" (without the quotations) on the space provided then click ADD
COM1 PORT: Place "3F8-3FF" (without the quotations) on the space provided then click ADD
COM2 PORT: Place "3F8-3FF" (without the quotations) on the space provided then click ADD
Enter the same values for the "THROUGH "\\Userport" Grant List" TAB
Fifth: After entering all the values click the UPDATE on the driver TAB and click START to activate the program (if you click start and nothing happens, it means that the USERPORT is now in effect) (do not close the program window) and you can now use flasher programs (except DEJAN's dos Flasher) and any Unlocking Tool on your Windows 2000/XP/NT based System.
P.S
I included a POLL question just incase (can be used as a guide for NEWBIES who wants to use different Operating Systems when using their phone programs)
POLL: What Operating System Do you prefer to use when running your favorite DCT3/DCT4 Flasher and Unlocking Tools?
