JAF Guide Step by step II (only for new guys)

2. Service Operations

Let's continue this guide...

The service operation options are used to modify files or manage security options that can be found in the phone. We have 15 options that we will describe carefully
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ADO_1978/4.jpg
You must select the option/s that do you want to perform and then press Service button. Let's describe the functions


1)Read PM: PM or Permanent memory it's a memory inside the phone with low capacity(I think it's around 1MB. And it contains security and setup options. With this funcion we will get a copy of the content inside the phone that can be used in case of Software problems. You must put the address that you want to read of the PM(0 to 255)

2)Write PM:It's the opposite action and will write a saved file. It's often used to repair phones with problems of Software or Security-IMEI

3)Erase PM: It's a limit solution to repair a phone with the Software or Security problems. We will erase first the PM and then write a new one. It's also used to repair imei when changing UEM to write a new PM file for the new IMEI

4)Self Tests: Using this function we can test the hardware parts of any Nokia phone and check if there is any Hardware problem if any of the tests fails.

5)Disp Test: also known as Display Test, we are going to try this function in order to see how is working the screen, if there are dead pixels or damaged screen-leds

6)Upload TUN: upload TUN (tunning) file for CDMA phones

7)Factory Settings:Through this option we will be able to "reset" the phone to the primary state. Data will be lost and any security info will be replace by default info.

8)Prod. Manager: This means Product Manager, it can be used to reset total time call and other warranty details

9)File Sys Format: Used to remove any user data contained in the phone, this function it's used on Symbian phones to repair oversize files uploaded(reboot at Nokia animation hands)

10)User Code Edit: This is a useful function. Through this function you will be able to read/write any user code.

11)Upload PP: PP or Product Profile, used in the old DCT4 phones, may be needed after changing the PPM for decustomization, games and apps can not work

12)Download PP: Just a "backup" or a file to upload to any other phone of the same kind

13)ADC Read: Reads ADC values from phone like charging current, voltage, battery current voltage etc.. Very useful in detecting power problems

14)Fun Explorer: It's a way to see the flash memory of the phone for the user. It will work better using Pc suite as new phones developed can hang the application

15)Warranty reset: Repair warranty imei from original imei, reset repair date to none, also reset life timer to zero (carefull with life timer, it may cause contact service so saving pm is recommended before)



3. Unlock Options

Unlock function and the different options
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ADO_1978/5.jpg
1)Init simlock-> This function will reset the lock of the phone to the first situation. It will become unlocked to any networks when you will press the Unlock Button.

2)Write SIM file

3)Code Calculator-> JAF software has an application inside the software to calculate the unlocking codes of any DCT4 handset. You must follow carefully the instructions and in a few seconds you will have the unlock code

4)Read Codes->This function was enabled some time ago in the INF button but it made a bit slow this function. If you want to give the unlock code to your costumer just select this function and then press the Unlock button

5)Autolock NET&IMSI->Autolock options, IMSI and NET - When set, the phone will lock itself on first inserted simcard using IMSI or NET code.

6)Lock to network->Write here the five characters to block the phone to the network that you consider. Be careful or it will be blocked to all networks



4. Operation Log
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ADO_1978/6.jpg
This is a normal operation log where you must see your PKEY number but you never must write in forums.

You can check that the % of the pkey has not reach 0%. You can always stablish this number to 100% going to Pkey tab and press Update Pkey

And the next info just remind us the version of firmware inside the box and the Pkey as well as the Nokia Loaders Address

You must have the loaders up to date. A high percent of flashing problems is due to the loaders version.


Operations in DCT4 Tab

We have thirteen options in ths part of the window.

Flash, Service and (Un)Lock buttons must be pressed when we will chose any of the functions of the three first steps of our guide.

You must select firstly the function and when it's ready press one of this three buttons.

Erase Fls- Use this function just when you will have learn well what it's used for. This function will leave the phone EMPTY. If you are not careful the phone will not have IMEI and you won't be able to make calls. Check that you have saved PM file and try first with any and useless old phone.

Load Java- As it's own name tell us, this function it's used to load JAVA Games&Apps to our phone.

Repair BT- The use of this function it's nowadays nearly useless. At the beginning of the first bluetooth phones JAF software wasn't perfect and the address of the BT on the phones could be damaged. Using this function you will be able to repair any software issue. You can avoid problems just by press Skip BT in the flashing options.

MMC Rst- This is an extra function to remove any password in a MMC. All the information of the MMC will be lost.

Read fls- By using this function you will be able to read any section of a flash file in any phone. You can try it, it's free...

Make INI- It's used to create an INI file if it doesn't exist before with the files used for the flashing porpouse

Prod Dir- This will select main folder for flash files instalation for ex c:\program files\nokia\phoenix\products\

IMEI Tool- It's for changing IMEI on ani Nokia phones.

Phone Mode- I personally has used this function a couple of times to check how is working the communication between cable and phone. You can change the mode to any state.

Communication Mode- You can perform some operations by USB Dku Cable. Here you can select what interface do you prefer.
