- || Assembling a _QUALITY_ Motorola Flip programming cable ||
- || from a standard battery eliminator. ||

-
- Word. It seems that alot of bad cables are being sold by some lame asses
- here on the west coast. The result, alot of _rare_ LO phonez are being fried.
- Welp, this file should clear things up. Even if you've never made anything
- but clay pots this should be easy for ya. Take your time and this, along with
- your phone will last a lifetime...
-
- Parts: (1) 550 Battery Eliminator
- (2) IN4001 Diodes
- (1) Head pins(single row straight stick headers)
- (1) DB25/RS232 Connector for connection to LPT1
- (1) METAL DB25 cover/protector
- (1) 1 1/2 foot of 5 line ribbon
- (1) jumper wire (be creative)
-
- Tools: Sizzors (I like sizzors for splicing wires)
- Soldering Iron
- Hot glue gun (borrow mom's)
- Exacto knife (optional)
- DMM w/continuity
-
- I'll try and be as verbose as possible. All references to the plastic
- part that connects the phone to the cable will be known here as the ADAPTER.
- The hardest thing to find, at least in where I am, is a battery eliminator
- that has all 8 pins on the ADAPTER. So if ya do have a cable with all the
- pins you can skip this paragraph. What I did was to go ahead and shell
- out the 35 duckets for a battery eliminator that only had pin's 7 & 8 (power)
- on the ADAPTER. Go to you local electronix shop and pick up a pack of head
- pins. These puppies are the EXACT same thing as what's in the ADAPTER, 'cept
- their nickel instead of copper. Cut 4 of them off the plastic but be carefull
- not to bend them when you do so.
-
- Carefully pry off the cover of the ADAPTER and use the exacto knife to
- get the pins and attatched wires out of the cover. Otherwise you'll end
- up melting the cover, and trashing the project. Now de-solder the wires
- connected to pins 7 & 8, wrap then with 2 of the ribbon's leads then re-solder
- them back to the same pins. Once again, be carefull not to bend them.
- Now solder the other 4 ribbon lead to the pins 1, 4-6. Now carefully put
- each pin back into the ADAPTER cover, if some of the holes are filled with
- resin (batt eliminator), simply push an _extra_ bridge pin thru to get that
- shit out! Make a note of their colors, then take the DMM and and go over all
- the connections, making sure that no pin one pin on the ADAPTER is _touching
- another: 1-4, 2-8, 4-6 ect... * note that pins 7 & 8 will show values from
- due to the voltage regulator inside the ciggy plug.
-
- Fire up that hot glue gun and place some on the cover to make sure those
- pins/ wires / solder don't move around when ya put the ADAPTER back together.
- Don't put too much on or you wont be able to close it. Wait a min or 2 until
- that dries, then throw some glue into the ADAPTER and quickly close it up.

- As for the DB25 you shouldn't have any trouble. Just make sure you solder
- the Diode to the wire before soldering it the the port. Remember parallel pin
- specs are not the same as serial!!
-
- The following is a diagram of a DB25 connector (soldering side). The "*"
- marks the plain wires, "@" marks placement of the diodes, and the "+" marks
- where the jumper connects to the anode side of diode one:

- This cable will work with the 6.6, 9.11 & 9.9 software. This means that
- without a) AMPS or b) The Trick Clip you'll need to find a Flip that has a
- firmware revision equal to or below 9122. A good sign that the phone is
- indeed a LO, is to check the ESN located on the back and look for any prefix
- below A2A. If you can't locate the ESN sticker, usually cause it's stolen,
- then look for a MCsquared printed along with the menu sticker. If the phone
- has the MC2 don't buy it. If the phone doesn't have the menu sticker don't
- buy it! Also before you fork over the $$$ make sure that all the ports on the
- phone are in good condition.
-
- Some people may experience problems with 486 machines. I'm looking into
- slowing the shit down in order for the phone to respond. One way is to divide
- your BIOS bus clock by 6, another is to load a TSR that actually slows your
- CPU, although I haven't yet found this to work for me. 286-386 processors
- work fine. Short cables are a must!

- Here are some things I'm looking for:
-
- a) !!!CCS ESN Decode software for DDI/D R.1.1
- b) AMPS(without accuFUCK)
- c) Old DDI soft(bootleg days)
- d) System 85 defaults
- e) Deal with a techno label (had to throw it in)
-
- Scheduled for release: Nova Coast P9346 programming hardware.
- SID/AC database.
-
- Long term projects: Finish the ESN decode software for the DDI/D.
- Map Local Cellsite's/freq allocations

-
- Leave me mail on The New York Hack Exchange (718) 379-4702.
