@ Alinus:
i changed 2 cables ...all has same problem..
i do not have any external power supply.

i m using ER1 6xx,7xx cable, one guy told me to use uni-box interface but i can't make interface with schematic.

[Alinus]

buy one it's realy cheep. the man is right - u must use uni-box to get it done.

hi there

1st - you may use any cable - it depends only of connection sequence.
2nd - use NE tool, it corrects "insert correct card" 100% without flashin

[:: sunny ::]

@ StRanger:
also tried NE Tool.. no result..
but what is the solution of this problem ? i already chaged cable.

[Alinus]

Would u be kind and post here NE Tool. I'm sick of flashing A1018 with "insert card". Thanks


as for Haf, i don't know, i use uni-box for repairing and unlocking Ericssons. never did it without it

[StRanger]

here it's

[Alinus]

Thanks man.
but now tell me and how to use it - u said that it corrects insert card, withouth flashing, but u don't see any repir option in the proggy. what sould i use? the Reset phone option?

[StRanger]

well, I don't quite remember, but try simply to "unlock" and "reset". If no success, try to write eeprom from working phone, but I hope it'll not need

[Alinus]

thanks. I'do what u have told me. When i'll get my hands on a A1018, of course
