A null phone charging cable will not work. The TYT programming cable uses a pirate version of the FTDI USB-to-serial chip. Do not let windows automatically install the driver. Reason explained later. Use the old version FTDI driver on the driver disc. The MiniUSB connector is not the tiny MicroUSB like a modern phone has, it is like the older Motorola phones had, or a Playstation 3 controller charger cable. However, those cables will not work. You must use the cable with the FTDI chip inside.
