USB Cable for V3

Hi there

Does anyone know if the USB cable that comes with the Motorola V3 is one that you can use to unlock the fone or is it a different type of USB cable that you need to purchase seperately???

Thanks in advance

    I know the cable can debrand and flash the phone. Not sure if it can unlock though.
  • Can you tell me what "flash the phone" means???

    I have been trying to unlock mt Motorola V220 phone and I have been having no luck so maybe I havent done it properly!!!

    Flash, is to replace the software on the phone i.e. to erase and copy new software.

    It is possible to unlock and flash a V3 with the cable that comes with the phone, not sure if it works with the later models V3I & V3X.

    If you're not sure what you're doing then I'd pay the guy at your local market. Here is the instructions, some of the software is difficult to locate to download.
