Who makes the best micro usb_charging charging cords out there? I've had two samsung cables and both are starting to wear near the connector part of her cord. One is fairly new as I had to replace the charger since it produced a high pitch and got extremely warm. I'm open to anything even if it's for another phone. Quality equals reliability so no ebay, reputable companies please. Thank you

I've used several different microUSB cables, but always prefer these:

Monoprice is a great company to order things from, fast and reliable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
You are fine using odin and getting all your necessary files transferred to root and stuff? No problems? Is it durable? I know its my fault for wear on my cords since im a teenager and carry them in a bag all the time so they get messed up. Maybe i should email otterbox and ask them to make a cord so it would match with my defender ;) Thanks for the reply maybe i'll buy them since they are like $2 but shipping will kill me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burgeswe:
Yes, I've run everything imagineable over mine. And they hold up under my 4year old, so they're durable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
Okay i may give them a try but what other cords/companies are the best? Are you really getting more than what you pay for with the ones you suggested? Im just curious because i don't want to buy every single charging cable out there, i just want a one and done! I wonder if i should just buy Monster Cable? haha just kidding
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burgeswe:
I think you're thinking too much into this. A USB cord isn't a buy for life type purchase, not even expensive one

Personally I like monoprice because they're cheap and good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I called Samsung (after calling Rogers, who tried to tell me that the usb cable was an "accessory"), Samsung confirmed the FREAKING OBVIOUS, that the cable was not an accessory, they gave me a Ticket # Then I just went to my carrier's store & the guy there just gave me a new usb cable, after I told him that I'd called Samsung.

Same problem, the cable was starting to bulge at the soft rubber boot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
True, but then again you rely on the cord when using odin or putting files to flash if you dont hassle with taking out the sd card. Yeah so you entitle youself to maybe ruining your phone by doing things to it. Still would you risk it on cheap usb cords? So Potential to ruin your phone remains at hand of the usb cord, phone being a life purchase for some. It truly isnt a life crisis for me, i just wanted to see what was out there and what people were using.

Until now i never heard about monoprice, but all of you are saying its good so i will give it a try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:
Sign me up for another happy customer of monoprice. Just ordered 4 6' usb cords, a wall charger, and 2 mhl adapters. MHL adapters dont work (think its my phone.. gotta mess with it yet) but everything else is flawless. I've orderd COUNTLESS cables from them... 40' hdmi, 30' vga, countless 6' hdmi, just about any audio cable, and who knows what else.

I LOVE monoprice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
For the MLH adapter did you plug it in the phone and also plug your wall charger in? Thats usually the case i have read is that people don't plug in the power supply
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
Thanks for this link. Bought two of these just a few minutes ago. Lost my original charger, might really still be here somewhere as I can't remember the last time I saw it. I also got the 4 port usb wall charger 2.1A... I hope they work well. My husband has a usb wall charger for his Samsung dumbphone that I am using now, it has been 6 hours and my phone is still not fully charged (extended battery). Sucks to wait 4 days but if it will charge like the original one it is worth every penny.

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pjminn:
For USB chargers that are capable of putting out >1 Amp of power when connected using a standard USB cable, the phone only allows itself to be charged at the slower USB charging rate of less than ½ Amp, that in many instances cannot keep up with the current demands of in-car navigation.

There are usb cables that are designed for charging only. (search amazon for Naztech-Micro-USB-Charging-Cable) It shorts the two data connections together (rendering them useless for data), so the phone only sees it as a power connection, and will accept the higher current of the charging source.

Hi guys,

Here the new NSS version (0.50) that allows sim unlock if your Lumia is rooted (710,800). How to unlock:

1. Make sure all drivers are installed, phone is visible by NSS in Normal, OSBL and NAND mode

2. Make sure you have Qcom loader

3. Plug the phone via USB cable

4. Start NSS, go to Simlocks, WP7, press Unlock

5. Follow on screen instructions

Unlock works for PIN and PUK blocked phones.

Download

Regards, Chris
[Nokia Lumia 800] djtonka:
This is to make my Lumia a SIM free to use any other carrier or just when we need to tap PIN or PUK to unlock sim card?

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

What mean #6?

6. Press unlock again to restore the phone to original

I did unlock, I taped PIN so I need to connect again and change mode do OSBL and press UNLOCK second time?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

Yes it is to unlock the sim restriction, so the phone can be used on any carrier. Just the guys at MS are on some strange drug, the unlock

code they call - PIN, and the unblock code - PUK.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 800] fivesevenn:
what do you mean by install all drivers, it wont detect when i just plug into usb (normal mode) but when i am in obsl mode it says "nand disk drive" and it says it cant read device
[Nokia Lumia 800] djtonka:
But still need connect again and press unlock second time?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
There are few drivers needed - Zune, Nokia Care Suite, Microsoft USB disk drivers. Make sure Zune and NCS are installed and working.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Second time is not needed. It is just restores the baseband firmware to original.

I've been trying to sim unlock my phone all day, but I keep on getting this:

Things to check:

1. Is the phone connected?(Plug to the USB)

2. Is it in the correct mode?(Try to switch to OSBL mode)

3. Have you installed the Qcom loader ?(Use the Install button)
[Nokia Lumia 800] jiyon25:
in windows xp its not work?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Deeco7:
I used NSS the other day on my DLOAD and to my surprise it magically unlocked just by pressing detect. I was over the moon! Saved me moneyyy! ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

When the phone restarts after the change to OSBL mode command, does it stay with dark screen,

or just enters the long boot process and comes in Normal Mode ?

If the latter, you maybe have baseband/ROM mismatch, where some commands are not recognized -

e.g. the restart. Battery level is also not read correct. The solution is to restore to Nokia loader (only on 710)

and flash some version to make sure ROM and baseband files are matched, then install QCOM and do

the sim unlock procedure.

hey man you are a genius! i have been digging up and trying to find a sim unlock solution since i bought this phone and to no avail. i happened to buy an unlock code for my lumia 710 so i am unable to test your solution to see if it works. i wish you had revealed this method earlier so i would have donated the money to you instead! i am waiting to see if people were successful with your method. for my knowledge though...does it have anything to do with sdb5 partition? :) thanks again and good luck!

[Nokia Lumia 800] dgwebb:
Hi, in another post you pointed out that your phone was DLOAD and you flashed a generic firmware to your phone which gave you Qualcomm in NSS, could you please give more information on this, which firmware etc. so hopefully it'll work for us too.

/edit - Weird this. If I restart my phone with Vol up then insert USB (till buzz) and then click Detect on NSS it jumps straight to OSBL Mode - WP7 Qualcomm, I can't do anything with it at this stage so maybe (hopefully) someone will have an idea?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Deeco7:
That's exactly what I did, and when I pressed 'Detect' my sim unlocked. Try putting a different sim in ;) . But, I want to know what bootloader have due to the confusion of NSS detecting my phone as 'WP7 Qualcomm'.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dgwebb:
Just detect on it's own shouldn't unlock it, you'd need to press the unlock button wouldn't you? In settings/About it should say bootloader version, mine is 7.35.0.0. I currently have a vodaphone sim in my phone (locked to Orange) and it doesn't unlock so it's trying to get to the bottom of how yours managed to unlock as qualcomm. Which drivers do you have installed for instance? :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

If you have a phone, check what the Simlock saves as backup. Also after unlock you can try the Restore button and see what is loaded.

Hi,

I'm interested to unlock my Telcel Nokia Lumia 710.

At this point, I know that it has the Nokia bootloader (DLOAD thing) and I have to put the Qualcomm bootloader.

However, like in the quotation above, how do i know if I have a baseband/ROM mismatch? I never flash my Lumia. Does it mean there is no mismatch?

Some infos (could be useful?)

OS Version: 7.10.8773.98

Material version: 112.1402.2.1

Bootloader version: 7.33.0.0

Thanks for replying ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Nikhoss:
I also have another question: to put a Qualcomm bootloader, all tutorials are speaking of the RM-803 Lumia 710.

Mine is RM-809, will it work?

Hi,

I try to keep most NSS functions free for everybody. There is only small subset of features that are valuable to proffessional unlockers

Hi,

Is it possible to restore DLOAD after sim unlocking with keeping my device sim unlocked?

Bph&co, you are genius :). Thanks for your work. :) :good::good::good::good:
[Nokia Lumia 800] bigeneral:
hi, thanks for the tools, i can get my phone bootloader, but for some reason, windows does not recongize my 710.

i can't get zune installed, none of the solutions provide MS works, also downloaded a windows portable device driver, my system do not want to install.

Would you by chance have a link to the 710 driver for windows? It seems that i'm missing the driving, so that i can proceed to the next step for unlocking.

Hi,

Some people reported problems with NSS phone detection, etc. There was Beta update to address some of those problems, sorry

forgot to post it here. Anyway here the details:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Underpowered computers are unable to read tiny 150 MB partition, error

is on reading FAT16, actual Windows error - insufficient resources

Looking for NAND disk...Done.
Trying to p**** partition tables...Done.
----------------------------------------------------
FAT16 absolute address: 0x001F4200
FAT16 partition size: 0x0927C000
----------------------------------------------------
Reading FAT16 raw...Error!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Some phones have mismatched baseband/ROM or just old version of the

NCS application (that is the Nokia OEM service that provide diagnostic functions) and are unable

to perform auto restart to OSBL mode

Looking for phone...Done.
IMEI: 359300045092732
Changing phone mode...Done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for NAND disk...Not found.
Things to check:
1. Is the phone connected?(Plug to the USB)
2. Is it in the correct mode?(Try to switch to OSBL mode)
3. Have you installed the Qcom loader ?(Use the Install button)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if you experience first problem, go to Simlocks->Settings and check:

'Lumia unlock - alternative search for old pc'

If you experience the second problem, check 'Lumia unlock - use manual restart to OSBL mode'

Is there a way to obtain the actual SIM unlock code?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

No, the phone will stay unlocked after firmware upgrade.

It is possible to be read and decoded, but was too much work. Fooling the phone to accept fake

code and unlock itself (switch the unlock flag) was much easier.

[Nokia Lumia 800] bobzero:
Is it correct to presume that the unlock will be lost if an official stock firmware is subsequently loaded onto the phone?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
It has been pointed many times that is not possible at the current moment, sorry.

No, the unlock is in a separate partition that has phone unique encryption and generic flashing can not touch it, it stays the same during the

lifetime of the phone, unless modification is requested via API (enter wrong unlock code, enter correct unlock code, etc). Firmware update updates

only the last partition, that's why also constant data like Product Code, Wifi/BT MAC don't change - phone allocates extra partition for them.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 800] zengj:
Hi,

Thank you for telling me.

If you can brush the Qualcomm OSBL when you please let me know.

[Nokia Lumia 800] bobzero:
Interesting, and that has been my experience with all unlocked phones previously.

However, when I unlocked my T-mobile branded 710 via unlock code, and then flashed an official firmware from a different provider, upon first boot the phone was re-locked and required me to enter the SIM unlock again.

Is your method effectively different than entering an unlock code?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

Not sure about that. But will play with this when i have some free time. My unlock is the same as entering original provider code,

i just patch the validity check in the baseband (good guy/bad guy check) temporary, so during entering any wrong code, the phone

is fooled to set the unlock flag.

I was having the same Looking for NAND disk...Not found. error as the poster above until I tried NSSPRO on a different PC and it worked the first time and SIM unlocked my phone.

and the SIM unlock remained.

I suppose the true test would be to restore DLOAD and then flash another stock ROM via NCS and see if the SIM unlock remained. (it was always removed via this type of flash when I was using the actual SIM unlock code).

Thanks again Bph&co
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bph&co:
Hi,

Quick follow up on the re-locking issue. Sim unlock via NSS is permanent (it changed the simlock area as original operator code does). But

there seems to be a way to relock the phone again, i haven't found the exact mechanism yet(busy with other stuff). So

- after sim unlock and restore the Nokia DLOAD bootloader, phone will stay unlocked

- after flashing with Zune, phone will stay unlocked

- after flashing with Nokia Care Suite phone will relock and will ask for unlock code

Off course is possible to unlock again via root,sim unlock, restore, but is a bit of inconvenience.
