I just stumbled on this thread, and I'm very interested to have one of these cables. Are they easy to find in some store (not online)?
Btw, I didn't undestand at all what to do. I need the cable, open the case to the PCB, find the RX(?) and what do I do with the rest of the cables? And how do I connect it to the needle? Is this all I need to do?

Alright, to answer the question whether they're easy to find in the store, this would very much depend on where you live, i would imagine if you lived in China you'd easily find one, But if you live in Sweden like me i doubt it. The thing is, these cables are pretty "old" as in for older types of mobile-phones which did not support "Straight-through USB", and hence they needed to convert the USB "signal" into a TTL "signal" in order to send data back and forth to the phone. If you have access to a store which sells old mobilephone data cables, i would look there for a DKU-5 or CA-42 cable, and/or lookup pinouts.ru for info on more cables that work.

What you need to do assuming you've installed drivers needed for the actual phone cable:
1. Cut off the mobilephone connector from the cable.
2. Notice the colors of the wires
3. Find out which color wire is the RX wire(info here or google/pinouts.ru)
4. Strip the RX wire and wrap it/solder it around a needle or pointy metal object capable of sticking into the dvd-rom circuit board TX 707 hole, there's a picture of that hole a couple of pages back in this thread.
5. Tape the rest of the wires away making sure none of them touch each other.
6. You now have a Lite-On key extractor.

Which cable do you recommend on ebay? There is the DKU-5 and CA-42, but most of them don't look official. Can someone give me a link to a working cheap one?

DKU-5 and CA-42 cables are recommended, whether or not they're official. My cable was not an official DKU-5 cable, but seeing as they are all suppose to support the same mobile-phones the chances of some of them lacking the necessary components are slim

The problem would be if they put epoxy or makes it hard to access the pcb. But that's just being unlucky..i would go ahead and buy whatever DKU-5/CA-42 cable you found or check this thread for other people who linked some ebay seller or something, with a cable they successfully used.

There's a bunch of cables that work, look them up on pinouts.ru if they have a RX pin.

According tohttp://pinouts.ru/Ce...le_pinout.shtml the CA-53 is straight through USB, which means it lacks the converter chip to transfer the key from the DVD to the PC. It will not work.

thenk you orderd the ca 42 hope that will work

Just checking before I buy another

i can confirm a sharp gx20 data cable work's by taking the 30k resistor out and putting a 1k resistor there and putting a pin on the green wire (the rx) as a probe all will be fine as i say iv tryed it il post a pik of it and thanx for all the info every one :-)

Hey, I've gotten my DKU-5 cable prepared for this extraction and everything.

My problem is when I plug the USB into the computer, it shows "Found New Hardware" and I can't find a driver that works for my cable.
Even if I do find one I wonder if it will it help with my actual problem regarding JungleFlasher. It finds my Lite-On dvd drive without a problem, but when I get around to extracting the key I can only choose from COM1 and COM3. COM1 is Communications Port and COM3 is a PCI Modem I have installed.

My real question is, how can I make JungleFlasher read my USB key extractor as a COM Port selectable in the program? I'm quite clueless right now and don't understand how everyone else's computer has successfully used the USB in a COM port or something. I have a feeling I'm missing something...

PS. Just for clarification, my PCB number on the USB Board is BRD3116. I tried to search for driver's specifically for that PCB model but was unsuccessful.

Thanks.

ok, just got mine. has red blue and orange wire. I get nothing when trying a loopback test in realterm. is is all already setup? I just enter some keys and if its showing the text, its one of the 2 wires, correct? and none can harm the xbox if i use wrong one 1st?

But i get no text, nothing. tried all wire combination, cd came with it, i did harware install and clicked search removable media, it said it installed and asked me to reboot. so its installed. how tight do i have to wrap the wires toger? does that matter?

I got the exact same calbe but I cant seem to get it to work....

In RealTerm which i never used before when connected it shows BREAK as red, should it do that? I cant seem to get any RX on it just TX flashing yellow....

Any help you can offer?

same here...all i get for any combo of wires in tx flashing yellow

Bought a clone CA-42 cable from ebay and it didn't work for me. Had 3 wires. Orange, Red and Blue. Orange was gnd so it was either Red or Blue that was RX. Neither worked. Tried my friend CA-42 clone that had 3 wires aswell...Red, Blue and White. White was RX and it worked. Tried about 10 times with each wire for mine...Still nothing. So I ordered the same cable as my friend did. Odd

damn i might have same as u... i get no results in realterm... dont wanna test on the drive incase the power wire fries it

Well, the CA-42 really works..... Thanks to the everyone who shared knowledge....

Used this picture to determine RX wire...

what colors wires u had? and howd u use that? did u open up the plastic?

hey guys grat tutorial, i had two dku-5 cables lying around. But they're different models.

One 10 pins on the pcb and only has 3 wires: Red = Pin3, Blue = Pin 6 and orange = 9 + 10
any ideas.

The other has 5pins on pcb and 5 wires: Red orange yellow green brown.
I accidently while taking apart knocked the wires off their pins but have resoldered, obviously this doesnt matter where they went back in the end because im chopping the end off anyway.

So i established that pin 2 with my red wire must be rxd, because if i touch the end with my finger and run realterm i get this

Question is i cant get a loopback test on any wires, and i dont know why. does this mean that my cable works from pin 2 and thats all i need to read my key?

ok sorry for so many posts, but this just happened to me as well. did the red wire work for u to flash

I'm super excited to report that my probe worked flawlessly!!

I managed to solder back the orange wire @ 6 and the blue wire @ 12, it broke ... I soldered that too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Then I just prayed "buzz44" was right about the red wire @ 9 being Rx and I soldered a needle to the end of the stripped red wire and used a pen to encase it.

I also twisted the red and blue wires together for testiing in terraterm, realterm and hyperterminal and got some loopback when I entered some random text.

From there I just went out bought a via sata card, had lots of trouble with it due to Vista x64 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif) Installed XP and then used the 360's power while flashing in Jungleflasher.

I was a nervous wreck!! My hands were shaking, I couldn't even set the needle in R707 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) in the end the probe worked!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) got the key ..I managed to successfully flash my lite-on to 1.6.

Special thanks to buzz44 and Datenshiz and everyone else.
Ill post some pics of my probe later.

No problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). This is the first time visiting these forums since my last post in this thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). I probably won't be much use to anyone now ><, have done anything related to any Xbox since my post, so been out of it for months and months.

I ended up encasing mine in clear frosted pen tube, and I added a super bright red LED so when I have contact with R707 the pen glows/illuminates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I used a glue gun to glue the needle in place.

All in all I am/was pretty happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif), looks professional.

Also make sure if you add an LED you ADD A RESISTOR and read the threads below.
