What is Factory Cable?

The factory cable, as  explained by the Team Black Hat

"Unlike a  normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that compatible  Motorola phones recognize as a "factory" programming cable.  This  allows the phone to power up and be flashed without having a battery  in the phone.  Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also  boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable. "

In short,  think of a “factory cable” in, well, a factory. When your device is  being made, the manufacturer plugs in a cable and loads the OS for  the first time. They use a special cable which makes the device  download a boot-loader with very little fuss. A factory cable allows  you to do the exact same thing – it enables someone to load a new  boot-loader extremely easily. This can, in turn, be used to load new  ROMS (operating systems.)
The directions for building this cable are based on the XDA forums.  Credit with coming up for the idea goes to the people behind that  post.
