Welcome to the forum! Smile

I'm practically sure his instructions were about changing a no-name USB cable into a DCA-510, not a DCA-540 into a DCA-510... No-name cables usually have a USB-to-serial converter in them, which the DCA-540 doesn't.
Therefore, you must have stumbled upon a method used by the phone to distinguish between DCA-500 and 510! Surprised

Well, just try to run a FW upgrade with that. Wink

(in the 510 method)

and yes, my instructions are only for no-name cables to 510.

i must to say that when i use dca510 or 500 ,the pc can not recognized the cable, why?(i installed its driver )

i want to update sw ,what am i do?

The DCA-500 is serial only, so there's no chance you'll build one from a USB cable. As for building a DCA-510, you can try using a schematic like this one, but I think it'll be easier, cheaper and especially safer to instead buy a ready-made cable.

thanks for reply;

i searched for dca510,500 in my country, but couldn't found any of them ,just found dca540.

Don't worry about your English: I've seen much worse here. Smile

As for the schematic, I have no idea if it works, since I didn't try it. But be warned: phones based on the CX70's platform (R65) and newer tend to dislike non-original cables; that's also why I recommended you to buy a cable instead of building one.
And what about eBay: doesn't anyone sell to your country?

because of new model of other phones in my country ,seimens have no more fans, so i cann't found!!!!!

i couldn't found cp2101 but found LP2303, can i build dca510 with LP2303,or am i use producted usb-to-serial cables ?

you can buy any cheapo USB cable, like the one in teh tutorial, and with the instructions, transform it to work as one original DCA-510

because you need drivers for it.

In your case, if the cable is the original DCA-540, you need the DCA-540 cable drivers, and not the DCA-510.

Plug the cable on another port, and point the installer to the folder you have the drivers.

if windows isn't taking the drivers, them, it isn't working. Rolling Eyes

and yes, all those drivers there, are for original DCA-540 cables. Also, R65 platform based phones, are very picky with non-original cables.

does the problem persist in another machine?
