CME UF80 / WiDI (wireless midi) version.    88-key hammergraded keys keyboard with expansionslots.


Cons:  Product quality. Good and Really Bad units are out there.  UF series seems better than U (first). 2 Keys that sound strange on mine (hits something inside) but thats seems to be a a common "problem" ;) 


Pro: Can be picket up for a low fee 2:nd hand (make sure all keys work first).  Expansion slot, and cheap cards as most sell them from overstock. 
Expanded with. 192Khz sound card.  (terratec phase 44).

Latest firmware as of Aug 2011 seems to be 2.00.   I had 1.07 before that.

Program used: Ubrain-beta 1.0 on XP/32.  Never got it worked/recognised in a virtuell enviroment, ie parallells on mac)


Widi (wireless midi) works natively via plug n play on both OSX 10.6.8 and XP and Win7.

iOS 5.01 unlock/jailbreak and preservation of baseband.

1. Redsn0w (win/mac). +preserves installed software, all apps is kept on device after jailbreak.
2. Ph0nagetool. Jailbreak/modifies iOS file on computer, then uploads to device. +keeps baseband, so unlock procedures is available for locked phones. All previously downloaded apps is replaced by uploaded/modified iOS file.

If Cydia doesn't work after redsnow (jailbreak), run Redsnow again with other options (reinstall cydia). White icon common, boot tethered choice from cydia might be a remedy.


Gevey ultra












iPhone 4 (baseband 04.10.01) operator unlock under iOS 5.01
Phone locked to one operator, but changing to another. As of Jan 2012, only Gevey Chip works, no unlock software procedure is available. Microchip and template placed under real simcard, and requires slightly modified sim tray with place for chip/gevey card. Included with purchase of Gevey Card.

Phone locked to operator (tre/sweden). Trying out a Gevey Ultra (original chip, not original manufacturer) but should be very similar.
Both original chip aswell as copies exists on the market.
Copies sometimes use 5v chip (run hot, not adviced), Original Gevey (and gevey ultra) runs on 3Volt. Original chip no starts with F9xx (se picture)

Unlock procedure.
1. Settings - Phone - Sim Applications - - Click Gevey...
2. Click Accept (big green button), wait 15 seconds according to instructions
3. Call 112, hang up within 2 seconds (so call wont go thru)
4. Enter settings - enable airplane mode (wait for sim error message).
5. After sim error message, disable airplane mode = Operator unlock in progress.
Unlock procedure ~1.5 minute.
As of Jan 15 2012, nu automatic unlock works with my card. Furiousmod 1, 1,1 and 2.0 doesn't work, and when FuriousMod is installed, the manual unlock procedure doesn't work anymore (menues doesn't show). Uninstall FuriousMod, and manual unlock works again.

Original Gevey Chip, but not original sim card bought from applenberries or other seller. Should be close to original, maybe something else that is wrong. Never tested under 4.3x
F981m BFOF 122+ (stamped on chip)

Display shows E (edge) or 3G connection speeds. If no 3G, add APN settings manually (requires reboot). comviq/tele2 (sweden) = APN = surf.telef2.se (requires reboot)
