UPDATES AND NEWS

[the_laser]

v0.91380071

first, and most important news.

you are not required now to register on support or use login/password to login on support area.

all you need - download software from www.setool.net, install drivers and press GO SUPPORT button.

- added some missed models...
- fixed some cosmetic bugs

[the_laser]

v0.91380072

- made 5-times retry of each AT-query during csca unlock step2 (should help when phone drivers installation not finished)
- locks tab not works correctly when USB was used as selected interface
- some cosmetic fixes

[the_laser]

v0.91380073

- changed csca unlock step1 behaviour. now, if there is ANY *.seczone files in %setool2%\backup\%imei%\ folder,step1 (erasing locks and writing signature) is skipped and step2 executing immediately. That is done to prevent credit loss if on step2 phone drivers installed incorrectly or if server connection broken on previous attempt of step2.

if you ABSOLUTELY know what are you doing - you can erase *.seczone files from %setool2%\backup\%imei% and step1 will be executed again for that phone.

- added "dummy battery" option for UFS cables with "crocodile" or otherwise called "dummy battery". if you check that option - before each phone shutdown we will execute grace delay to allow phone loader finish its work (for example, without that option you CAN get a "configuration error" on phones after flashing them using UFS and cable with dummy battery). grace period length is 5 seconds by default, but it can be changed with option "ufs_dummy_delay" in [main] section of setool2.ini (period counted in ms, so ufs_dummy_delay=5000 is 5 seconds)

- very minor ui bugfixes.

IMPORTANT ADDON. SADLY TO SAY (BLAME ME) -I NOT CAREFULLY ENOUGH
LOOKED AT Z310 - SO - DO NOT NETWORK UNLOCK Z310 - IT WILL BE DEAD.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS RESTORE IT TO "LIVE" WITH SECURITY BACKUP,
WHICH IS DONE AUTOMATICALLY IN "BACKUP\%IMEI%\%IMEI%_%DATETIME%.SECZONE"
YOU NEED WRITE IT AS SCRIPT.

v0.91373018

returned to old version of execryptor. GUI v0.91380009

- added FULL RED CID49 NO TESTPOINT support for NEW W500/W600, NEW K600/V600/K608, W900, see notes below
- updated "direct flash patching" for new sharp 703/903 firmwares
- testpoint usage allowed on sharp phones now
- testpoint usage reduced during operations
- added profiles support
- added "phone id" button (test cable, recognize phone cid,etc)
- slightly tuned ignition on ufs/com/dss - must be better
- fixed imei changing problem on w550/w600 in no-tp mode.
- some other internal modifications
- new bugs (unknown yet)

notes on REDCID49 support.

first. it must work only on non-touched (new) phones.
if phone was "tuned" with other software - no any warranty, but, generally, it should work.

second.
during ANY operations red49 phone became unusable (dead) until you flash so-called "restoration" file or flash "main" part of phone flash.

i prepared restoration files for most versions of red49 firmwares,they resides in "rest" folder of setool2 distribution.

usage of restoration file is simple. just determine your firmware version and select corresponding restoration file in "restoration file" edit.

if your unlucky and there is no restoration file for yours version of firmware, then you must fullflash phone (WITHOUT TOUCH TO GDFS AREA), just main+fsimage+complete.

third.
during flashing w900 phones on some (i think most) com cables, CHECK option "disable USB" - phone somehow assumes it is on usb, but it is on com

fourth.
well, no more to say - go, try, cry or enjoy. preliminary beta testing shows
good percentage of success (99.9%)


some example:

q: i have red49 w550, i don't know what firmware version inside, i want it unlocked and russian.

a:
go to semc tab.
press clear names.
select needed w550 flashfiles (main,fsimage). russian inside emea1
go to settings tab. CHECK complete. CHECK "unlock after flash". UNCHECK "revert to red.
go to semc tab, press flash
when prompted, remove and insert battery, press button "testpoint ok"
phone must be unlocked and flashed.


q: i have k600, i want to unlock it, i know that inside r2ae001 version.

a:
select in "restoration file" edit correct restoration file.
press unlock.
when prompted, remove and insert battery, press button "testpoint ok"
phone must be unlocked and restored, means - working.


NOTES ON PROFILES

button "S" saves all files and settings for current model.
button "L" restores saved files and settings from current model.

profiles works on sharp,lg,semc tabs.
profiles common for all windows.


enjoy, friends.

ps.
as usual, my personal **** to zuko. you can steal, but you can't create.
my personal greetings to mighty lead, who defeated upcoming db2020.
hope you will at least laungh on my cid49 method and show us, how to do red49 properly.

and my personal ask to all mighty hackers - please, stay aside from setool. better hack something more interesting

identify - to readout phone information (and userlock)
flash - to flash package.

!note. there is a checkbox named "process PDA update files" if you UNCHECK it - NO CREDIT WILL BE DEDUCTED from your account, but CDA will be UNCHANGED in phone. you got me ? ( got, lol ) yes, that is FREE FLASHING.

!note. if you flashing multiple smartphones, BE SURE THAT DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED BEFORE starting desired operation.

read gdfs - read gdfs for different things.
