Has anyone tried to use a Ca-42 cable. I have one but not sure if it will work. I have no issues trying it as long as someone gives me a heads up on where to wire the 3 wires. It is a prolific chip if anyone is curious.

Thanks

thanks BL4K3Y, I was looking at the jrunner guide again and noticed that the nandx cable and usbprov2 Tx,Rx are switched. Im assuming I wire it up like the Nandx to usb correct?

Thanks

Corona? I had the exact same problem. I left it on for a couple of hours and came back to scan the IP and the key popped in. You might try the same.

I think Xell is trying to load but its getting hung up on something. Maybe trying to acquire an IP?

I'm just asking what happens when you scan for an IP? It doesn't matter if the comm window is open or not.

I think the problem is that you need a ttl converter. The update cable is usb to rs232 ttl, or at least i thinkt it is, i updated my nand-x using a rs232 ttl cable from ftdi.
Google it, there are some easy solutions on DIY versions.
