Motorola Identity Transfer


Use this proceedure to transfer 9009-9121 phone info to >9122 bag/installed
phones.


If you do not want to make the cable shown below, you may order part number 
SLN7012A (Identity Transfer Connector) directly from Motorola.

     Step 1:  Connect the Identity transfer cable Donor end to the 9009-9121 
              firmware phone that has the ESN you wish to copy to the >9122.
 
     Step 2:  Connect the Identity transfer cable Replacement end to the phone
              which will receive the ESN/MIN.  This can be any Motorola phone
              except those with firmware 61C97 or 61H15 as per the 19# test
              mode command.  Motorola subscriber repair Center will preplace
              software versions 61C97 or 61H16 with version 61H20 which is
              compatible with the tranfer.

     Step 3:  Connect the handset to the Replacement cellular phone.  (One 
              handset only is needed)

     Step 4:  Connect +12 Volt and -12 Volt power to the Identity cable.

     Step 5:  Press the PWR button on the Replacement phone handset.  The
              phone should turn on in Test Mode.

     Step 6:  Press #66# to begin the Identity Transfer.  During the transfer,
              66 will be displayed on the phone.  After the transfer one of 
              six messages will be shown on the display.

               Display:              Description:
                 PASS                  Congratulations.  You did it.
                 FAIL                  Incorrect setup or defective equipment.
                 FAIL 2                No ESN was found in the Donor unit.
                 FAIL 11               The transceiver models are
                                       incompatible.
                 FAIL 12               The replacement radio is defective.

     Step 7:  The ESN in the Donor phone will now be changed to FFFFFFFF.  You
              will need to enter a new ESN in this phone before performing
              the transfer again.


      Possible
      Problems:  Normally, the Receiver phone can only have 00000000 as an ESN
                 for the identity process to work.  To get around this you
                 can use two methods that have been successful for me.  (Try 
                 dumping before trying this)

        Solution 1:  Trash the >9122 ESN by running the cloning software for 
                     pre-9122 phones.  In my case, the ESN turned to 0000FFFF
                     which allowed the Identity Transfer to take place.

        Solution 2:  Install the Motorola Universal Spare EPROM (61H59) in the
                     receiver phone.  This EPROM will turn any transceiver 
                     into a Universal Identity Transfer Receiver board which
                     will allow Identity Transfers.

     This cable is MUCH simpiler than Motorola's SLN7012A cable as it only
uses what is required for the Identity Transfer operation with no extra
wires.  It's called optimization -- Windows coders: LEARN IT!


   Enjoy the hack!
