Unlocking GD87.doc

To update your phones firmware you will first need the following items;

·         USB or Serial Data Cable

·         WinMoDo

·         CB2000 (Channel Box for panasonic phones)

·         firmware file  for example (GAD87A39.rel)

·         language file for example (G7D87L56.rel)

Before you do this upgrade it is recommended that you backup your phone book & MMS/email/WAP settings as these will be lost when the upgrade has been completed. Note: The contents of the data folder will not be lost doing this upgrade, although the names of the user folders will revert to their default values.

To start the upgrade first run WinMoDo, you will get a window displayed as below;

First of all you need to Select the COM port (1) that the data cable is attached to. Then set the baud rate (2) to 115200, Click the browse button in the image file box (3) and select the gad87a89.rel firmware file. Then click the browse button in the language pack file box (4) and select the g7d87l56.rel language file. Now click all the 3 red boxes on the left of the window, they will turn green indicating that these are the items you wish to update. You'll now need to switch off your phone and connect the data cable. Now click the start download button (5), the progress of the update will be displayed in the report window. Please not the update will take about 15 - 20 minutes.

Once complete you will need to remove the data cable and isolate pins 4 & 10 on the bottom of the phone using a bit of card or something, then reconnect the data cable ensuring that the phone is still switched off.

Once this is done, load CB2000, and select the phone model you are using (1), then click on the handset power button, now switch your phone back on it will go into the test mode (you will get a white screen with red text saying "Test mode on") all the boxes on the screen should fill with information now. if it doesn't check that the pins on the phone have been isolated.

go to the Data menu (3) and select Write. You will now be presented with the program handset data dialog box, select the settings page, then on the settings page select Function Clear (Memory Erase). Once complete your phone will be ready to use.

Hello all,

This will be a long post but hopefully it will help out some people.
I got my GU87 a couple of weeks ago and I was determined to find a way to deactivate the camera sound. I found what I needed and a lot more. The only problem is that it took hours searching through several forums and web pages to find bits & pieces of info. Hopefully this post will put a lok of good info in one place to simplify the search for others, especially GU87 Nubies like me.
