Motorola Phone Tools doesn't work with RAZR V3m?

[wcolton]

so far so good, i have the esn #

[Cincyball]

ok, go into device manager, and u should see:

Motorola USB Device
->Accessories Interface
->Data Logging MCU Interface
->Test Command Interface

If so, proceed to install and run p2kseem.

[wcolton]

OK,
P2K seem edit is open, is there supposed to be a big blank white window in the upper Rt. hand corner?

[Cincyball]

yep, as long as it says connected in the lower left hand corner. if so, in the lower right side of the screen, there is a "load" box. Next to seem, type 2742. Leave record as 1. Then above that, change bytes to 0000. Then hit load from phone.

[wcolton]

Ok, i have done that

[Cincyball]

ok, u are probably looking at a whole bunch of stuff u dont recognize, haha. Now we are going to save a copy of your original seem. Click save to file in lower right corner. Pick a spot on ur comp. u have just saved ur original file. After that, we will do our 1st couple seem edits.

[wcolton]

Ok, I have saved it

[Cincyball]

ok, now we are going to do the 2 seem edits to get your phone to work with mpt and multimedia.

1) enable USB file transfer. scroll down to the row 000060. Then use the right arrow until u get to Offset 006a. The top box (Bit 0) should be empty, and it should say Bluetooth or USB file transfer in MPT and E815 BT OBEX. Checkmark that box to turn it on

Once done, let me know

[wcolton]

OK,
only thing is it says "Bluetooth or USB file transfer in MPT and BT OBEX,

there is no"E815" after the "and" before the "BT OBEX". Is this OK?

[Cincyball]

yep that is fine. once u checkmark it, click "save to PHONE" it will ask if u are sure, say yes.

[wcolton]

I'm good to go so far

[Cincyball]

Now, we are going to load up a new seem file. Last time we did seem:2742, record:1, bytes:0000 This time, seem:2827, record:1, bytes:22 Then hit load from phone. Click save to file again to save this original seem.

[wcolton]

Ok, i have done that also

[Cincyball]

Once you get that seem loaded and saved, we can change it.

Go to offset 0006. Then checkmark the boxes 0,2,3,6. Leave 1,4,5,7 empty. If u look in the upper right hand corner, u should now see:

V.3.m.M.........................................

Once u do that, click save to phone, when asked to verify, click yes again.

Now we have successfully changed 2 seem edits. The 1st enabled usb file transfer. This 2nd one will enable multimedia auto-detection for the phone as a v3mM (where the last M stands for multimedia)

Once done, and u have saved this to the phone, click Restart Phone. It will go thru a series of events. Once it says connected in the lower left corner again, u can close out of p2k seem ,and MSU, and unplug ur phone, plug it back in. Start MPT and u should see multimedia automatically enabled!

You are correct and it works and i thank you for your patience and good will. i went to file transfer studio and tried to transfer a wav file as a quick test and it say "Request denied by phone Unsupported media type". Have i done someting wrong?

yea, the phone doesnt play .wav files, haha. What folder were u sending it to? If you are sending to the audio folder, it should be in mp3 format. thats where u will find them with ringtones and u can apply whatever mp3 file u puit, as a ringtone. i suggest only a 30 second clip because the phone will kick to voicemail after ringing for about 30 seconds. any longer and u wont hear it anyways, and it ill just be awaste of space!

[wcolton]

Ok,
I'm going to play with this more tomorrow. thank you once again and i will get back to you. Out.

Verizon disabled certain features on our phones. They do it in what we call seem files. So we load up the phone's seem files and turn these features back on. In this case, we must turn 2 things back on...the ability to send data thru the usb cable, and the ability for mpt to see our phone to allow the media function in mpt. (there are many more things we can turn back on, but u fill find that out later)

Please follow the steps in Post #24 thru Post #44 to the "t". If you do those steps I walked that guy thru with, u will be able to use MPT to its fullest capabilities.

Good idea walking the guy through in the posts. I'm sure there are many unposted thanks out there.

I have followed your instructions, and I still can't get it to work. The process breaks for me at step #36. I have actually been working on this for days now, reading posts everywhere trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

In general, all tools, including P2KSeem, can find my phone initially, but when it comes to doing things to it like saving the phonebook, using p2kcommander, etc. I just get lots of hangs. In the case of P2KSeem, I click 'Load from phone' and the huge white box on the left side remains blank. In the lower left corner it always says, 'Connected'.

I don't know if this helps, but when I unplug my phone after having attempted to use it over USB I find that when I shut it down it hangs with a white screen. The only way to recover is to remove the battery and then put it back in.

Very simple fix, and it is easy to overlook. By the sounds of it, you are not running MSU BEFORE opening p2kseem or p2kcommander. Reference post #30 for the following: Plug in your phone, it will be seen as a modem. THEN open MSU and it will install 4 drivers upon the 1st time running this program. MSU puts the phone into the proper suspend mode so you can use p2kseem or p2kcommander. Leave MSU running and then open p2kseem and you will then be able to use them without it hanging.

Wow, L2ReadInstructions! Thank you! Yes, that solved the problem. A few things that I learned:

1. If you have functions.csv open when running p2kseem, it will crash when you click 'load from phone'.
2. If you have an old version of MPT (3.11), then it will not work out of the box with this phone. I had to go to General Setup->Communication->Change Modem and choose the generic CDMA phone. I'm guessing that if I get a newer version that I won't have problems (it was unable to initialize the phone).
