Nokia 7100s data cable use

I have a Nokia 7100s phone which I bought about 15 years ago. Several years ago I also acquired the special data cable that fits into the socket between the charging and the headphone sockets. However, when I plug the USB end into my Windows 11 computer, nothing on my computer recognises anything has changed.

I would like to see if I have any pictures or videos which, although deleted, I might be able to restore with the proper software. Is there any way of getting access to whatever program Nokia engineers used with the above-mentioned cable? Or is there another way of doing it? Come to think of it, what was that socket and its corresponding cable for in the first place?

Hi @davidyoung13979

Seems like you need to use the data cable that is used with the phone.

If you have got it anymore, search online for CA-112DS to find suppliers that suit you best. (examples only)

Hi @davidyoung13979

The cable is designed to be used in conjunction with an FLS-5 adapter (see image) and it is used for flash programming the phone using proprietary software.

I can't find any suppliers for it online.

The phone's user manual doesn't specify that it can transfer stored user data via a cable connection. It does say that a Bluetooth connection can be used to do this.
