Flashing/flexing/unlocking Tracfone W175g without a dongle

[Notorious0601]

I bought a W175g while down in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and I'd like to use it with a GSM carrier in Canada.

I did a bit of research, and it looks like the phone would need to be reflashed to get rid of Trac's minute tracker, which I was told prevents any outgoing calls when the "account" reaches zero even if the phone's been unlocked and currently being used with another GSM carrier.

Thing is, this is my first GSM Moto, and my first attempt at flashing a phone. Since the W175g has a mini USB connector, I have my MP3 player's cable, which seems to be doing the trick.

So, anyone has any pointers/firmware/advice for me?

This phone is a K3 phone which I dont think even any boxes or dongles can flash to anyways. I will try to open up the phone in a browser to see if I can check what file is tracking the minutes

Try whith locosto driver for put it in flash mode but the firmware is not easy to find.

It only stays in flash mode for a second then turns on
