Am i understood wright ? This device can unlock all those models and then we can flash with every custom rom , and to install any app ?
Hi there,
you need atf box for unlocking your device and for replacing dload with qualcomm bootloader.
But you needed to solder a modified rj-45 cable to your device's mainboard, which is very difficult.
With the cable mentioned in this thread, you don't have do the soldering, as this cable can "connect" to the parts you usually have to solder the wires :)

So, you still need ATF Box + This cable. The good thing: you only have to disassemble your phone and connect it ;)
No more soldering! :)

Btw, i ordered the cable yesterday, and inform you when tested :)

yes ,if you have ATF BOX , you have to point ur finger on motherboard exactly where your testpoints are to get a proper connection
it works just fine then ;) i just swaped my osbl to qualcom yesterday :D

Lordmaxey -NICE ROM (FUNKY) ,I've found couple bugs but overall it's just great , video usb out should fit it needs at all ;)
now I'm going to try cook my own :))

If you do not have the ATF BOX you can not use an emulator? On Symbian (5230, 5800, etc.) I used JAF JAF PKEY emulator with GM .. You can not do such a thing? Sorry if I said bull****!

The ATF Box is not just a hardware dongle - it's an FPGA device that is used for reading/writing the eMMC chip. Also, it doesn't simply implement the MMC protocol as a card reader would - it actually tampers with the MMC command/data messages sent by the phone's CPU, while the PCB is powered on. (This is why it doesn't need access to the VCC and VCCQ pins.)

Unless you have a matching FPGA that you can program with the ATF logic, you cannot use the Lumia TP functions of the ATF software without a genuine box.

Cyclone Box is slightly easier to emulate, as it uses an AVR microcontroller, rather than an FPGA, so it may be possible to program an Arduino for the job - however, the Cyclone software still has major problems with its eMMC implementation (specifically, it tries to use SPI mode, instead of 1-bit MMC, but SPI is only supported on removable MMC cards, not eMMC). Also, Cyclone Box requires VCC and VCCQ access, since its eMMC mode is simply an SD/MMC card reader implemented in MCU - in fact, it can connect to normal SD/MMC cards as well as eMMC chips.

For those who used the jig, do you guys still needed to remove the shield?

Interesting when someone else adds support for these cables. (To a cheap box (Best infinity / MXbox / Fenix Key etc etc).

ATF is not really worth it if you are not in the gsm business.

(Maybe I will buy an ATF when my dev unlock runs out if I have to I don't like paying money to phone shops unless they actually do something that is a reasonably skilled job - problem I have is none of them are willing to do any of them near me (And there is tons of them eyesores on the high street).
