Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / June 2007- Unlocking a v3m... verivon Help please. -
Everything I am reading tell me I will find the information I need at... www.howardforums.com And it is probably right in front of my face and I'm missing it. Is there a step by step somewhere...? Or am I looking for the directions in forum Q&A...? I notice a lot of those differ. Maybe another site...? Any help in leading me to the right info will be appreciated. Thanks, Doc -- -- > Everything I am reading tell me I will find the information I need > at... www.howardforums.com [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Any help in leading me to the right info will be appreciated.

After trying to use them I found verizon had this pretty much blocked out. I'm seeing people talking about working around this. I would like to do it myself if I can find some clear directions of what to do. I am working around it a little my putting the mSD in a card reader and loading it. Then put the card into the phone. That got old fast and I'm really not doing much but moving some pictures. I had no clue this phone was so neutered or I would have never got it. -- -- >>Explain what you're trying to do, please.

It's the correct term but it has two meanings apparently, it means unlocking a phone so it can be used on a carrier other than the one it was designed for, the other meaning is what you're trying to do. > I have MPT 4.0 and the cable.

You're right in thinking Howard Forums is the answer but when someone tells you to go read the forum and you'll find your answer what's meant by "reading the forums" is to read carefully and follow ALL the links you encounter because a lot of the information you need is there. If you read Howard Forums you might have encountered this link: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ It may be the help you need.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I had no clue this phone was so neutered or I would have never got it. > -- -- Just out of curiosity, why are you so determined to use MPT? I have an E815/MPT and wanted to do the same sort of stuff, and found the cable I had for that phone worked perfect to do all that stuff with BitPim (compatibility chart says it should work on your phone, it is free by the way, get it at http://www.bitpim.org/)... Did I mention it's free? and the link for getting it is pasted here? You must already have a cable if you are using MPT. so what do you have to lose? One caveat (and unfortunately I ran into this), if you have a Micro SD card (you said you did above), and have the phones camera/mp3 player/etc set to use the memory card for storage, it will fail.. You have to set it back to store stuff in the phone for you to access it and transfer things between your 'puter and the phone... > Just out of curiosity, why are you so determined to use MPT?

SignatureXS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html >> Just out of curiosity, why are you so determined to use MPT? > > Because he said he has it. Okay, then that means he has the data cable already (or he couldn't use it/MPT), so as I said, why not use bitpim (it's free, does what he wants, and uses the same cable he already has for MPT)? I have MPT and a Moto E815, and now use Bitpim with the cable I used to use for MPT and do exactly what he wants, lets me transfer pix/mp3's, ringtones, videoes etc... Seems sort of silly to seem edit the phone to do what you want, rather than just use free different software... Don't get me wrong, I'm all for brand loyalty, but I have no problem with looking at alternate solutions that also work with that brand stuff > Seems sort of silly to seem edit the phone to do what you want, > rather than just use free different software... I'd agree with that except my E815 wouldn't work with Bitpim OR mpt until I did the seem edit. Also, I find MPT much easier to use but that's personal preference, of course.

I have MPT 4.0. And not I have BitPim 10.0 What I really would like to find is a step by step of what to do... At one point I had MPT 4.0 on my computer. I would plug in my V3m. The computer would see it as new hardware showing it as a V3c. In MPT I did not have the V3m as a choice. I had the V3c & I think the V3cm. Both close, but no cigar... I tried them both. A little would happen. But neither was right. I have got nothing to happen with BitPim at all. Dose not even see the phone. Again the choice of V3m is not there. So I'm not sure what to do. I did remove MPT from my computer. Dose it have to be installed and running for BitPim to work properly? All I want to do is maybe move a few pictures of my own and a couple ring tones. This is getting close to more trouble then it's worth. I am seeing SO MUCH information on this subject I don't know just what to read first. And more important what to trust... Thanks... Doc -- -- >> I have the data cable. I have MPT 4.0. And not I have BitPim 10.0 > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Doc > -- -- I believe you can go to Motorola and download the USB drivers. Maybe this will allow MPT to recognize your phone. In the Device Manager see if you have a Motorola Modem listed there. At Howards forums download P2KCommander and the Motorola update software. Read there how to use them. bdog >>>> Just out of curiosity, why are you so determined to use MPT? >>> [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > Doc > -- -- Not sure what you are talking about, since version ONE (not ten as you said above, is the current version and was just released on June 12th, so I hardly think they have had 10 new releases in 9 days!), and MPT is now version 4.04b Since you are in the verizon group, I assume you have a verizon one, which is the V3Cm (c i take as meaning cdma, not sure what it really means, but thats easy to remember... m as manufacturer model specific, again not sure what it really means, but easy to remember) No reason to pick only one or the other, not to have one installed for the other to work.. I have em BOTH on my system, (one, just bitpim on my sisters system, and that works fine too by itself) I just find myself using bitpim about 99.999% of the time Be that as it may, you probably need a firmware update..... at http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/04/verizon-enabling-file-transfers-on-razrs/ part of the website (from a few months ago), Since yesterday, all Verizon Motorola RAZR users can take their phone in to their local Verizon dealer for a free software update. While the main purpose of this software is to fix the many bugs that have been plaguing the device since its release, a big surprise comes with it. After the update, hooking up your phone to your computer will allow you to use Motorola's Phone Tools to transfer all your multimedia to and from your phone. That's not all. OBEX, the service used to transfer data over Bluetooth, has been added to the phone's list of Bluetooth services. This means that anyone with a Bluetooth dongle has the ability to transfer and retrieve photos, etc. from their phone for free. ========================================== Sounds like what you had asked about, for more info, Howard Forums has the (In My Opionion) best info (main page http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=51) > Since yesterday, all Verizon Motorola RAZR users can take their phone in to > their local Verizon dealer for a free software update.

I checked, and I did save the original files; I'm something of a fanatic about having a way "back" from things like this. <G> SignatureSandy sfoster 1 (at) embarqmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net >> Since yesterday, all Verizon Motorola RAZR users can take their >> phone in to their local Verizon dealer for a free software update. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > have successfully modified their phones to use MPT already? Or is it > something they wouldn't need to bother with? Depends on if you are just using the phone with MPT, or actually did a seem edit to give it new functions... Your question didn't make that clear, and as far as I know, you do NOT have to modify the phone just to use MPT (you may have to download drivers for it, but that's on your puter and not the phone). If you did a seem edit it will replace the edit and you have to do it again, however if you just use the basic phone with MPT and no seem edit, it will be fine.. Oddly enuf, many people seem edit the phone to gain Bluetooth OBEX functionality... that's in the new firmware already, so If that's why you did a seem edit, you may not even need to again, of course if you did one for other reasons, you will have to do it again... If you get one of the seems already premade (rather than edit it yourself, the new firmware is usually used when editing)... Sorry, seem editing is a whole nother can of worms, and without some sort of history, I couldn't even hazard a guess whether or not it will work in your case > > Will this software update mess up the phones belonging to those who > > have successfully modified their phones to use MPT already?

No, I did do a seem edit; I couldn't make MPT work otherwise. And that's why I'm curious. If I take my phone in and get the software update, will Verizon throw a hissy fit because of what I did? Or won't they notice? I don't mind doing the seem edit again, but I'm concerned that they may do something drastic because of the seem edit. > Oddly enuf, many people seem edit the phone to gain Bluetooth OBEX > functionality... that's in the new firmware already, so If that's why you > did a seem edit, you may not even need to again, of course if you did one > for other reasons, you will have to do it again... No, I wasn't worried about using Bluetooth. I just wanted to be able to put my own ringtones on the phone and transfer photos back and forth without paying for stuff I'd already bought or created myself. >If you get one of the > seems already premade (rather than edit it yourself, the new firmware is > usually used when editing)...

I bought the information I needed for the seem edit, and it worked perfectly. I'd probably have to call these people and find out whether it would work again. But it's a moot point if Verizon is going to fine me or something....

But it's a moot point if > Verizon is going to fine me or something.... > > Thanks for anything you can tell me. :) Depending on which phone you have, verizon has changed it's tune, and many of the new phones/updated firmare are totally functional (ie not crippled at all), Don't know on that specific model, but just picked up an lg vx8300 today that is totally uncrippled, and lets me xfer photos/videos/ringtones/mp3's etc both by cable and via bluetooth... If you get a chance, go by a store and see what the new ones can do (that's essentially what yours will do after a firmware upgrade)... As for the techs getting pissy about seem edits, I have heard that fear from people before, but never heard of anyone that it actually happened too (doesn't mean it can't happen, I have just never actually heard of it happening)... >> I can understand that.

So I can upgrade to the newest VZ RAZR and it won't be crippled? That's cool. Been waiting for this a long time. Hacked my V3c a year ago and it's been a great phone for me. But the newest RAZR has better sound and an SD slot albeit a bit thicker. > So I can upgrade to the newest VZ RAZR and it won't be crippled? > That's cool. Been waiting for this a long time.

Can't say for sure, know they are going that way, from another post here's a link to an article, and a cut and paste of the first paragraph.... at http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/04/verizon-enabling-file-transfers-on-razrs/ part of the website (from a few months ago), Since yesterday, all Verizon Motorola RAZR users can take their phone in to their local Verizon dealer for a free software update.

Take it in and see if they can remove the multimedia blocks. I want to upgrade my 2 year old V3c but not if I have to hack the V3m.

Verizon disables PC transfers of multimedia files in their phone operating system. Go here and read, you may want to join as someone might take you under his or her wing and walk you through the procedures. http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=51 Sounds like the direction is to the nearest Verizon store for the free upgrade that enables it. OR you can got the foums people have pointed you to and read up on how to do it yourself. If indeed Verizon has seen the light and decided to "uncripple" their phones, just get the upgrade. >>> Since yesterday, all Verizon Motorola RAZR users can take their >>> phone in to their local Verizon dealer for a free software update.

I have still not gotten what I call a clear answer to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Doc > -- -- The answer is easy, MPT works just fine with many phones. (with the proper DRIVERS).. The part that people keep not talking about, is the unique piece, that goes between the phone and MPT... the DRIVERS.. MPT only has a very limited number of drivers that come with it, but there are many many many different phones,new ones all the time, and 3rd party drivers out there, that make a specific phone functional, with that generic software (MPT).... It is the DRIVERS you need for a specific phone to make it standard/compatible with MPT.... In your specific case, you have two of the three things... MPT and a phone, now you need drivers (specific for your model of phone).. Look or the drivers for your specific model phone and MPT (sorry, posted a link for you before, but cleaned/compressed my hard disk and don't have the old post with the link, will look for it again when I get home and can peruse my backups) >> All I was asking when I started this was how to make the V3m usable >> with MPT...

Someone posted earlier that VZW will now do a free s/w upgrade to, among other things, restore the phone's functionality. It can also be done by following instructions posted here earlier today. > All I was asking when I started this was how to make the V3m usable > with MPT...

Doc, I did exactly what everyone here has been saying to do. I went to the Howard Forums site and read and read until I found what I was looking for.

Or > maybe some other software? For BitPim to work? No, neither bitpim or MPT need each other to work, however, they BOTH need manufacturer/model specific drivers. Neither come with all the drivers for every phone, and model of that phone Maybe an analogy will help... Think of windows (provides standard functions, sort of like MPT provides standard functions), but some mice need a specific DRIVER to convert the hardware specific info into things that windows understands... In your case you have MPT(windows) and the phone(mouse), but need a hardware specific DRIVER to interface between the phone and the software... > I guess it would be a given I wrote the wrong version number... > > Either way nothing is happening with BitPim... > > The question was dose MPT have to be running at the same time? Or > maybe some other software? For BitPim to work? First of all you may need drivers (goes between the phone and whatever software you use, to convert the unique stuff to standard stuff)... as for versions, look at the latest versions for both peices of software (Bitpim is at verson 1.0.0 as of June 12th), and MPT is at version (my last update was to 4.30 on 3/14/07) For my e815 I had to install specific drivers for that phone, same for my sisters vx8300 and dads v3m (both those required specific drivers too) >>>>> Just out of curiosity, why are you so determined to use MPT? >>>> [quoted text clipped - 67 lines] >a Bluetooth dongle has the ability to transfer and retrieve photos, etc. >from their phone for free. I followed the link. Read the article. That sounded great... I then called a verizon store. I told them the version of my software. They did say there was an upgrade available. BUT... This upgrade has been around a while. By no means new. And the person I spoke with did not think it freed up anything on the phone. Or made it useable with MPT. But was not sure. His impression was it was just fixing know issues with the phone.

Spoke with two different Verizon reps on the phone. There are no updates to allow multimedia transfers between phone and PC for the V3m. Did not talk about others.

Bit hard to debug stuff over usenet, especially when you get older (like me), and forget what makes/models/versions of stuff someone has.... Next thing I would suggest trying (quick/easy and free), when you hook the cable to your phone, no software programs running, and plug it into the USB port on the 'puter, does it recognize the device (ie little popup comes up and says what device it is, or maybe an unrecognized device, or maybe no driver found?, it should definatly say something if the cable and USB stuff are working, (don't actually do anything, just take note of what happens when you plug it in, will let you know if the cable/usb port are at least working).... >>>>Be that as it may, you probably need a firmware update..... >>>>at http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/04/verizon-enabling-file-transfers-on-razrs/ [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > NO DIFFERENCE in the area of making it work with MPT. None. Try a different model of cdma razr like the V3cm. Remember that Motorola also disables the Multimedia Studio in MPT for phones that are crippled by VZ so it doesn't even show up on the menu. You'll have to set it up manually but I can't help you now because I'm not on a Windows Computer. If you're willing to try, post back and I'll walk you through it tomorrow after 9:am EST. This is how they do the RAZR V3c phones so maybe it will work with yours, might be worth a shot. >>>>>Be that as it may, you probably need a firmware update..... >>>>>at http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/04/verizon-enabling-file-transfers-on-razrs/ [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >after 9:am EST.

The lash choice is the V3cm. The only thing that works there in the contact list... Nothing left to try... -- -- >Everything I am reading tell me I will find the information I need >at... www.howardforums.com [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Any help in leading me to the right info will be appreciated. If its a Verizon phone, its already unlocked. Typically the unlock code with all Motorola phones sold via Verizon is "000000" (six zeros). Of course, you need to know the "DEBUG" code to get in and do things with the phone. I'll leave that exercise up to you (hint - do a Google or Howard Forum search). Or figure it out from this post.... :-) Its not like a GSM phone where they're locked by default (if sold by AT&T or T-Mobile).
