I am also very confused on this matter with regarding to Cerebros. I saw post that said you have to place the switch on PCB093LBE to D/L position. If you look at the schematic of PCB093LBE, you will find that at D/L position, the signals go to pins 2 and 3 on the phone side connector whereas for Data position, the signals go to pins 4 and 5. For usb cable (at least the one that I am using), pin 2 and 3 are not used and signals only go to pins 4 and 5. In other words, usb cable doesn't has this D/L feature at all. If it is true that Cerebros requires the switch to be in D/L position, then usb cable shouldn't work even with the correct usb driver unless you modify your usb cable by adding the Data D/L switch.
Schematic of PCB093LBE can be found in the following link:
Hope someone can clarify whether usb cable can be used for unlocking with Cerebros.

I have read places that it can be done, havent tried it myself js1662 or talked to someone who has done it. Glad I got myself a OEM serial cable lol.

Thanks for the information xXxSamsungxXx. Is it true that when you use Cerebros and PCB093LBE, you have to put the switch in D/L position? I have no problem using my usb cable with PIMS or Optiflash but not the others.

Yes, if I do it with switch set to data, it says unlocked but doesnt do anything, switched to D/L and unlocked phone/zeroed out IMEI.

Unlocking:
If you have Rev 1.5 (x426) or earlier and most older models
Use the *#9998*3323# Trick (look for it on the forum)
The *#1111*WHATEVER# code will NOT work
If you have Rev 1.6 (x426) or later and most newer models
You MUST use unlocking software. Codes WILL lock your phone FOREVER
Locked: Return for Servicing
There is only 1 working solution, you must flash a copy of the firmware that is not in the locked status. (Most) Unlocking programs will NOT disable this issue, and your service provider cannot give you a code
If you do not plan to use your phone with another service provider, there is no real point to unlocking your phone other than to sell it. If you don't need to unlock it, don't take the risk of disabling the phone altogether
The *#9998*3323# Method:
1. If you have changed your phone password, change your password back to the default 8 zeros (00000000).
2. Put a SIM card that is from a network other than the one your phone is locked to
3. When Incorrect SIM error comes up, type *#9998*3323#.
4. White screen will appear with an exit option. Press the right softkey.
5. From the menu that appears, select the Malloc Fail option. This will reboot the phone and the normal service screens will appear.
6. Type *0141# and then press the green call key. "Personalization" or "Personalized" will appear.
7. Turn off your phone and put the original SIM back in.
8. Turn on your phone. You will receive a prompt to enter a password.
9. Type 8 zeros (00000000)
10. Completed. You have now unlocked your phone.
