I asked the supplier and they told me that I need to have a special cable. So I ordered it and it should be on it's way. I expect to receive it next week.

It's a special cable with USB and miniUSB connectors. But there is some electronics attached to the USB connector, it's not just a cable.

If you connect it to a computer, it creates a virtual COM port.

For example here, but it's quite expensive.

Hi,

I have Chinese clone with MTK6516 chipset (Smasung i9000 mini). I need to flash a new ROM to this phone to fix some problems. I have all the SW I need, but I'm having problems to connect the phone to my PC.

The only information on flashing the phone I found was on some Chinese forums. If I understood it correctly I need a cable with USB on one end and 3,5mm jack on the other side. I could do such cable by myself, but I need to know the pinout. Do you have any information regarding this?

A8000 Led Light Working?

Whoever has one of these phones, have you been able to use the led camera light as a flash light? None of the apps on the market work. I know for like the A5000 or related phones, you have to change the camera lib files, but would they work for A8000? I just dont want to brick my phone.

Right now all I have is rooted, nothing else has been done, no backup or nothing because I don't know what program to back up stock rom. If anyone reads this, thanks for the help!
