How to get mms messaging to work with flashed alltel v3m phones!!!

How come u have to disable EvDO? :headscrat You can have GIN, MMS, and Mobile Web fully functional with both 1x AND EvDO.

 

The flash is about 10x riskier than fixing evdo. In fact, fixing evdo might be one of th easier fixes needed AFTER flashing. It is just a matter of writing one seem, writing the 10.key to the /DMU folder, and if still not working, entering the hex values into the Mobile IP since u will b e in there creating a second profile anyways...

 

If you would like to send me your cdma_sec file, I will be happy to get the values you need and tell you where in the mobile ip field to enter them. I know NONE of this is easy, but I honestly believe that if u have comprehended what u need to gather to flash, then this could be done as well. Also, if u had backed up your 01d2 seem, you could write that to your phone and then just write the 10.key and EvDO SHOULD work. If u would liek me to extract your hex values, dont attach the cdma_sec file here, PM me and I will send u my email address since it contains phone info (not that anyone could do much with it, but just in case).

 

13 and you're pretty darn smart...

 

Hello Cincyball,

Have did minor hacks and have MPT fully working with Multi Media.

Could you answer or direct me on how to do or find info on

1-Changing the up, right and left navigation keys to a different feature

and

2-The pro's and con's of reflashing to alltel software. And where to get the needed files

I have a 3vm verizon

Thanks
Fred

 

At first I thought it was a typo, but you know it is a v3m, right? Not a 3vm, hehe.

Anyways, to change the up, left, and right navigation keys, you MUST flash to Alltel's firmware. Verizon's firmware can only change the down arrow. Alltel's also allows you to program the left and right softkeys.

As for the benefits, you get to do what we listed above. You get full bluetooth file transfers between phones (both phones must have OPP), and full bluetooth transfer with your comp (OBEX). You can do custom skins (no stupid themes liek verizon f/w). Battery life is good for about 4 or 5 days with an hour of talking each day. Verizons battery is no where near that good. You can have mp3 SONGS in addition to the mp3 ringtones. You can set the phone as a USB mass storage device to transfer files w/ your microSD card. There is ZERO lag when pushing buttons, unlike the Verizon f/w which is very unresponsive and sluggish. You get icon menus instead of the tab main menu setup. Im sure there are some other pros I have left out, but thats the major points.

The cons are that if u mess up, your phone is TOAST. The flash is usually uneventful. But the tricky parts are getting the data services working. Right off the bat, phone and text work, but no GIN,MMS, or Mobile Web. But they can bex fixed. The only things that will never be the same are VZNav (since Alltel doesnt use LBS), and Vcast. There is no verizon media player either, but u can still create playlists. Other than that, everythign works.

I will post some pics in a miute of a few screen shots with my iPhone skin.

 

Sorry about the quality, I just took some quick shots, but hope it gives u an idea of how it looks with a custom skin:

Wallpaper


Main Menu


Settings


Customize Home Keys

 

Thanks Cincyball,

I going to keep reading a get better aquainted with everything first

Cincy,

That looks friggin AWESOME...I hope this isn't a stupid question but, do you have to have the ALLTEL firmware flash in the phone to change the skin??

 

Yea, I have the Alltel firmware on my phone. That is the only way to get custom skins on the verizon razr. There are tons available too. I have a Family Guy, Red Sox, Carbon Fiber theme skin, and plenty of others. Definitely one of th bigger reasons I flashed.
