Re: Detecting if a Sanyo phone is refurbished.

I finally realized that the newer models create two COM ports when I
plug them in.  One shows up as "Sanyo USB Phone" under Modems in the
Device Manager and it accepts the AT commands.  The other is "SANYO
Serial Port" and shows up under "Ports" in the Device Manager.  This
second port seems to respond to the brew-commands without needing to go
into diagnostic mode.

My install of BitPim doesn't seem to like the phones with the two ports.
 

ħþø, can you send me a firmware response packet from your 8200?  

In answer to your questions, I'm working in C using Visual Studio.  The
only extra thing that I've used is a GPLed Serial Port library that I
found at http://home.ict.nl/~ramklein/Projects/Serial.html.  (Many
thanks to Ramon de Klein).

I'm attempting to write a very fast console app that pulls the ESN, PRL,
SW, MDN (phone number) and Recondition flags off whatever phone is
attached, and dumps them to a flat text-file.  I can get the ESN, PRL
and SW using AT commands.  And, thanks to you guys, I've figured out
how to find the same info using the brew firmware request.  The MDN
seems to be at position 590 in the file nvm/nvm/nvm_0000 -- if you know
a more reliable way to get this, I'd love to know it.  That leaves the
Reconditioned flag -- which is where I'm stuck.
