Last night i did a crap load of reading about hacking The Razr V3.
I am debating if i should mess with both my flex flash and editing my Seem.
While i found a few guides to do this they seemed to be a bit scattered and very confusing.
I’m debating if i should write up my own guide in some sort of Fashion.
One thing i want to make very aware that if you Mess with either your SEEM files or you Flex that a couple of things can happen.
1.You void your warranty on the phone.
2.You risk messing your phone up. And its hard to fix it if not impossible in certain situations.
3.You will be forced to forever keep messing with it to get things the way you want it.
On another note. I have successfully gotten the Mobile Phone tools to add Videos, Ring tones, and pictures to my phone.
I found a great tool to cut mp3's for ring tones. And its Free audacity-win-1.2.3
The razr Seems to do the bass with it as well as you could expect it to.
NOTE: if you want to download ringtones and move photos and so on, you need more than just this driver. You need additional software.
Read on for all the details.
- To transfer MP3's to your phone for use as a ringtone use WICK'S WALMART METHOD
- To transfer ringtones, manage your address book, synchronize with anything, move photos, and so on, you need a USB 2.0 cable (or bluetooth device).
Scroll down to "VENOM, LORD ET AL.'S CABLE-EMPLOYING METHOD" for complete(ish) info.
WICK'S WALMART METHOD
For this method you need a data-enabled phone w/email address.
You do NOT need a cable.
You WILL incur data transfer charges and you cannot edit the ringtone.
What you hear on the webpage is what you get.
1.Go to
www.walmart.com (other shopping sites may be similar)
2.Click on the Music tab at the top of the page.
3.Search for the Artist and CD you like
4.Scroll down to the track listing and select a track
5.Right click (or Mac equiv) on the track and select Properties
6.Copy full url address to the clipboard.
7.Open your mail program and address an email to your phone
8.Paste the url into the email body and send it
9.Retrieve the email on your phone
9a.Press forward
10.Copy the url onto the phone clipboard (menu copy)
11.Open your browser go to the url by pasting it into the address bar, or using "Go To URL" from the MediaNet program (Cingular) and pasting.
12.Your browser will automatically download the MP3.
13.Press Store
14.Assign the stored MP3 as a ringtone.
15.To rename the ringtone, go into My MEdia, Sounds, select the ringtone name, "more" and see "rename".
Just do it.
VENOM, LORD ET AL.'S CABLE-EMPLOYING METHOD
To transfer stuff between your phone and PC (computer), you must have the following items in addition to your V3 phone and PC (seems like XP is a better choice than ME ):
1.Data cable (yes, if it fits in the hole the one from your digital camera will probably work!) Again note: it needs to be USB 2.0 to work reliably.
2.Driver to enable your PC/Mac to see the phone when connected.
3.Communication software like Motorola PhoneTools or MobileEdit
4.MP3 editing software if you want to modify the MP3 file. (Audacity-win-1.2.3 is highly recommended by posters and free.Nero is another excellent tool).I'm told that you can edit MP3s using Motorola Phone Tools (sometimes called MPTs), but I have no experience.
To make it all work:
1. Read the first post completely. It contains links to a zipfile with the files to install the driver, and instructions for installation.
2.Download/buy the PhoneTools or MobileEdit.
Motorola PhoneTools (
Avanquest mobile PhoneTools -- MOTOROLA EDITION)
MobileEdit (full version): (
MOBILedit! - PC Suite for all phones)
I say buy the software so you have a legitimate complaint if something doesn't work as expected.
3.If you want to edit MP3s to suit, then find, download, and install either audacity or Nero (I think that's a $$ product).
4.Then attach the phone, cable, computer and enjoy!
