Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / December 2007Move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer?
Is it possible to move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer?

The MPT menu lists: Synchronization Phonebook Calender Text Message Internet Connection The PDF documentation says that "Multimedia Studio" should be between "Text Message" and "Internet Connection" but the menu on my screen is shown above! Is this something that Verizon Wireless could/would have disabled? >>>Is it possible to move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer? >>>There's no obvious way using Motorola Phone Tools. >> Open the multimedia studio, file transfer studio and move the >> pictures.

Since your on Verizon Wireless the phone is a V3c or a V3m, both very different animals. Here's how to make the Multimedia studio show up... Start MPT and connect the phone. You won't see the multimedia studio as you said so next, right click on the little phone image in your systray (where the clock is) and select Setup, General Setup and click on the communication tab. Click on the "Change modem" button to start the Device Configuration wizard, click next. You should see a "Motorola USB Modem" selected, if not, select it and click Next. Check the "Do not automatically select the driver. Select from a list." and click Next. Select Motorola CDMA in the left window and scroll down to V3cm if your phone is a V3c or V3mm if it's a V3m. Click next, finish and OK, you should now see the multimedia studio. If you're game to do a seem edit you can make your phone report itself as a V3cm or V3mm all the time. Look here: http://hacktherazr.com/guide.seem.edits.html The first one is the one you want but if it were me, I'd do 1 - 4 and the 3 steps to enable the time and date menu, then scroll down for any others that you want. Right above the seem edits is a list of software you'll need and where to find it. Good luck! SignatureXS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Yep, all bets are off for Verizon crippled phones. Fortunately you can do the SEEM edits and restore the functionality you paid for. >>>> Is it possible to move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer? >>>> There's no obvious way using Motorola Phone Tools.

I clicked on "Settings" but the resulting menu does not match your description! > If you're game to do a seem edit you can make your phone report itself > as a V3cm or V3mm all the time. Look here: I'm not certain what a "seem edit" is. The limited reading I've done on the net seems to hint that it's a good way to void the warranty and turn the phone into a brick if you don't know what you're doings. I clearly don't know what I'm doing! I think I will learn to live without the ability to transfer pictures from the phone to my computer. I bought it because I needed a new phone or to buy replacement batteries for my ST7868W. Investing in new batteries for a ?? year old phone seemed like a waste of money. > http://hacktherazr.com/guide.seem.edits.html > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Good luck! >> Here's how to make the Multimedia studio show up... >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Help > Exit I think I have a later or earlier version of MPT but "settings" is probably what you want. >> Click on the "Change modem" button to start the Device >> Configuration wizard, click next.

When you click on Settings, what choices do you have? Anything that looks like "General Setup" or similar? This may help: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/V710_MPT_Cable.htm Scroll down to the section labelled "To Get the Multimedia Studio Icon" and see if either method 1 or 3 will work for you but first make sure MPT is updated to the latest version available.

Particularly the part that says: "NOTE: Seem edits are required for the Verizon V710, E815, V3M, Krzr K1M and Certain FIRMWARE versions of the V3C to allow MPT to transfer ringers/pictures/videos via USB Data cable or Bluetooth. As well to allow V710 users to be able to use MPT via Bluetooth for Calendar and Contacts. While Seem Edits can re-enable these features Verizon has disabled, BRVP does NOT SUPPORT this, and will not support "hacked" or Seem Edited phones. So, if you do a seem edit, you void your phone's warranty, Verizon's support, and BVRP will NOT help you if you have problems with MPT." I don't want to transfer pictures THAT badly. snip>> This may help: >> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/V710_MPT_Cable.htm > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I don't want to transfer pictures THAT badly. Once you read up on it a bit and get the right free software, SEEM edits are really very simple - and reversible! A good place to start is http://xlr8.us/hofo/ and get pkTools and pkCommander at www.motox.info or www.howardforums.com among others. >> This may help: >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Krzr K1M and Certain FIRMWARE versions of the V3C to allow MPT to > transfer ringers/pictures/videos via USB Data cable or Bluetooth. I've used MPT to transfer pictures with both my E815 and V3m before doing a seem edit, neither phone required it. BTW, if you save your seem before editing it, you're looking at about 3 minutes to return your phone to the stock, non-edited version. Marc Venture is VERY over cautious, IMHO, but he really doesn't want to be sued, therefore all the disclaimers. BTW, if you have a V3M you have a slot for a transflash card, you can save pictures to the card and then to your computer by removing the card and putting it into the proper USB device on your PC. Opinions vary but mine is that if I couldn't transfer pictures from my phone to my PC I wouldn't have a camera phone. SignatureXS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org > Is this something that Verizon Wireless could/would have disabled? Oh no, they'd never do a thing like that. You can do it with MPT or Bluetooth directly. > Is it possible to move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer? > There's no obvious way using Motorola Phone Tools. > You can do it with MPT or Bluetooth directly. > >>Is it possible to move a picture from my RAZR V3 to my computer? >>There's no obvious way using Motorola Phone Tools. Thanks Bruce, but could you provide a little detail as to HOW? I don't have any way to use Bluetooth. I do have MPT and a USB cable. I've had the phone for less than a week and there's still a lot that I don't know. If it's documented somewhere, a pointer to the docs would be a big help. Open MPT. Click on Multimedia Studio Click File Transfer Studio Move pictures. I like using Bluetooth better. You can get a BT dongle for your PC for under $20 delivered. Using My Bluetooth Places you can move things around quickly and without the more cumbersome MPT interface. >> You can do it with MPT or Bluetooth directly. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > don't know.

And Avanquest / BVRP is in on it. You will not be able to use Multimedia Studio with your Motorola Phone Tools unless you either seem edit or reflash your phone. You need the drivers from the "Motorola Software Update" (Google for it) to do either -- and if you use MPT after installing the Motorola Software Update, MPT will actually kill the MSU drivers that you need to put your phone in the state you need to seem edit or flash your phone. If you go to the Avanquest forums, you will see how unfriendly they are to any idea of uncrippling your phone. I have a feeling that most of the people answering are using another provider other than Verizon and do not realize that your use of MPT will never be as easy for your phone as it is for theirs. >> You can do it with MPT or Bluetooth directly. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >don't know.

Some more info: The drivers that you need to seem edit / flash are different than the ones MPT installs as these put your phone in another mode. The latest drivers are at: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/Handset_USB_Driver/Handset_U SB_Driver_32_v3.3.0.msi/. You need to install these drivers first --> then run MSU and leave open (very important) (get at https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/Motorola_Software_Update.exe) then run some P2K editing software (P2K Commander, P2K Seem Editor, P2K Advanced Editor, P2K Tools VS, etc.) to enable ringtone transfer via MPT, bluetooth profiles, SMS usage from your computer (yes, MPT & Verizon have disabled even this on some phones), etc., etc. You can find P2K Tools VS at http://storage.e398mod.com/soft/P2K-Tools-3.zip; Google for the others. Which one you use is a personal preference. Remember, the latest MPT will toast the drivers above, so do all your seem editing / flashing before using MPT. You can find lots of tutorials on the web. I have found that most are very helpful, but that it takes reading through several of them to get through all the steps you will need. Make sure that when someone is showing you how to do something that they 1) have the K1m and 2) are using Verizon. People with Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, Telus, etc. phones will not encounter all the problems that you will face with your Verizon phone. >What some of these people replying don't seem to understand is that >Verizon has crippled your phone.

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> I don't know. If it's documented somewhere, a pointer to the docs >> would be a big help. Heh. Verizon has disabled the bluetooth profile that lets him do transfers to his phone. Verizon does have a chart for you to see which profiles they have disabled on which phones: http://support.vzw.com/pdf/BT_Chart_Handsets.pdf >That's why I suggested he use Bluetooth. > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>> I don't know.
