How to unlock SmarthPhones with Setool 3 box?
Well to start check with Identify function (connect with @ or C depending on the phone) if the log shows this phrase: NEW SECURITY MODEL
That will determine whether our phone is or OLD or NEW SECURITY
Procedure:
OLD SECURITY ....
Don't mark anything in settings
- Ensure with a Identify if the rest is present (if not download from the support)
-Press Unlock / Repair
- Connect the phone with "@" (P990, M600, etc..) Or "C" (eg the W950) as appropriate
- Now you'll asked to install the drivers who are in the setool's folder / drivers / Smartphones_drivers
- Expect to complete the process
NEW SECURITY
If you made a Identify and NEW SECURITY model was detected, here the steps:
- Connect the phone with "@" (P990, M600, etc..) Or "C" (eg the W950) as appropriate
- Now you'll asked to install the drivers who are in the setool's folder / drivers / Smartphones_drivers
Open Setool

- Flashing with SERVER - It is needed only if you want to Process PDA update files (Change CDA)!!
- Unlock with SERVER (CSCA-based unlock). See this thread for unlocking:

- "OLD" revision has just impoved security and can be breached
!!!!!!!!!(NO ANY SERVER IS NEEDED FOR ALL OPERATIONS)!!!!!!!!!!
- UNLOCK

4. Flash.
- IF phone has OLD SECURITY TYPE, just press 'Flash' button.
- IF Phone has NEW SECURITY TYPE and you want to flash it without changing CDA (Process PDA update files must be unticked), just press 'Flash' button.
- IF Phone has NEW SECURITY and you want to update/change CDA, tick 'Process PDA update files', check 'USE SERVER FOR CSCA FLASH/UNLOCK' and press 'Flash' button.
What is Process PDA?
If checked CDA will be changed. Example:
W950i with GENERIC firmware flashed with ACPU_NI_Trade_Hong_Kong without the
"process PDA update files" tickbox, the software info screen would look something as follows:
PDA software version:
CXC 162088 R1B01 <-- original s/w that came with smartphone
CXC 162101 R1B01 <-- new s/w flashed with SEtool
CDA version:
CDA162014/2 R1B01 <-- this was the original firmware
CDA162017/48 R1A12 <-- this is the new firmware flashed via SEtool
If the box is ticked, then only the last line of each section is shown - or, in other words,
how a standard set (with the respective firmware) would be.
This is from the Offial SETool box Help.
