Step 1 - USB Driver Installation.exe

Before you can transfer any files, you need to install the USB Driver for your phone and cable. This is very straight forward and should cause you no issues.

1) Install the USB Driver from our Files folder
2) Unplug your phone from the cable if you already have it plugged in.
3) Unrar and run the exe file.
4) The driver will install automatically and inform you when the installation is complete.
5) Reboot your computer.
6) The driver is now installed!

N.B. You should never boot up with the cable plugged in to your phone.

This USB Driver should be installed but you will have to reinstall the driver using other methods in order for the cable to work with other programs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2 - P2KMan Driver Installation

P2Kman is the best program to use to upload/download wallpapers, seem edits, and videos. YOU CANNOT UPLOAD RINGTONES (.MIDI OR .MP3) TO UPLOAD RINGTONES YOU MUST USE EITHER MOBILEEDIT (PROVIDED ON THE CD, SHAREWARE VERSION ONLY) OR MOTOROLA'S MOBILE PHONE TOOLS(NOT PROVIDED ON THE CD, DUE TO COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS) 

Below are instructions on how to install the USB Drivers for p2kman (this step only needs to be done if you want to use p2kman) 

Installing the USB Driver using p2kman

1) Plug in the USB cord into your PC
2) Plug in the USB cord into the phone, if you have Windows XP it will automatically detect the Motorola Vxxx but it will ask you to point to the drivers. The drivers are in the folder of the p2kman program, the folder name is "drv" Point it to that folder and it will install the drivers.
3) It will ask you multiple times to install the drivers for different things such as the Motorola Command Interface, etc. install ALL of them using the same drivers of the p2kman folder.
4) You will eventually hit a point where it will say "Your hardware is now ready to use"
5) You can now use the V600 in connection with the USB port to transfer games, pictures, and sounds onto and from the phone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 - P2kMan Program Usage
Some people prefer to use the MPT (Motorola Phone Tools) I think this program is cumbersome, a waste of time to install, and is a hassle to deal with. I suggest using P2Kman which is found on this CD, through this program you can:

a)upload/download mp3 or any audio files
b)upload/download any wallpaper file (.jpeg, .gif, .bmp, etc.) 
c)edit the seem files

1)To start p2kman just open the p2kman folder and open the file p2kman.exe
On the left-hand part of the screen you'll see the message "not connected" connect your USB cable to the PC then to the phone and after a few seconds it should say "Connected" and list the Phone Model as : either V3 or V220 or V180.

2) Now hit the big button called "Update List" this retrieves a list of all the files that are located on the phone, wait for the list to completely load. Now on the left hand side box part it will say "V3 or V180 (/a)" (depending on your model number) and mobile with a + next to it, hit the + to see the listing of all directories

3) Now when you wish to remove or add an audio file all you have to do is double click on the audio folder (make sure its the audio folder, not the vavr folder) on the right hand side you see all the music files that are on the phone. To download a song from your phone onto your computer, simply select the file and hit the "Phone >>> PC" button, this will transfer the sound onto your PC. To transfer a song ONTO the phone (upload it) simply click the "PC >>> Phone" button and select the file and hit Ok. It will then be uploaded onto the phone in the audio directory.

2 minor tips
a) Monitor the status window on the bottom of the program, anytime there is an error like it might not upload/download a file and say "xxx file fail!" in that case just try to upload/download again. If that doesnt work unplug the cable reconnect, update list and try again.
b) Make sure you put the files in the right folder otherwise the sound or picture wont be seen!

4) Now you can probably guess how to upload/download wallpapers, simply follow step 3 but using the "picture" folder (it is located in the main directory of the phone, not within the audio folder)

5) To upload/download videos use the step 3 except with the "video" directory 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4 - P2kMan Seem Editing

To download/upload seems. Seems are special files that your Moto phone uses. You can edit these seem files in order to unlock special features that are locked on your phone. You have to use P2kMan to download the seems and you use Seemplayer 2.91 or Motorola tool to edit the seems.

• We're going to download a few 'seem' files and some other files from your phone. We'll start with the seem files. 
• You'll see a box at the bottom center of P2Kman called "Seem." In it, you'll see some text boxes and two buttons: "Download seem" and "Upload seem". 
• We need the following seem files: 
o 0025_0001.seem 
o 004a_0001.seem 
o 0032_0001.seem 
o 0061_0001.seem 
o 0062_0001.seem 
o 010a_0001.seem 
o 0126_0001.seem 
o 01a8_0001.seem 
• To get these seem files, we type the first number in the "From" and "to" boxes. 
• So to get 004a_0001.seem type "004a" into the "From" box and "004a" into the "to" box. Then click "Download seem". 
• A "Save As" dialog will come up. Browse to the directory where you want to save your files. Where it says file name, LEAVE THAT AS "xxxx_yyyy.seem" - this is important, because it won't save the seem if you change the name from that. 
• Repeat this process to get the other seems you need. 
• We also need a few other files from the phone. 
• If you haven't gotten a file listing from P2Kman yet, you can do so by clicking the "Update list" button in the Files area. 
• Expand the directory tree (upper left portion of the window) and find the "system" folder. 
• You need to find the files "mma_ucp" and "mma_dcp". 
• Highlight them and click "Phone >>> PC". You can then save these files to your computer. 
• We also need the file "gain_table.bin" and it's in the root directory on the directory tree: "Vxxx (/a)". 
• Download it the same way you got the mma files. 
• VERY IMPORTANT: Make backup copies of all of the files you got off your phone. This is extremely important, because if you mess something up, you can always go back to 'the way things were' before you starting changing things. 

Uploading Edited Files to the Phone: 
• Connect your phone to your computer, open P2Kman, and wait for it to say 'Connected' and get a file listing. 
• If you want to upload a seem file, enter the seem and record number in the "Seem" and "rec" boxes. 
o For example, for 0032_0001.seem, the seem number is 0032 and the record number is 0001. 
o Then click the "Upload seem" button, browse to the folder where the modified seem file is, and click ok. 
o If you're successful, you'll see "uploading seem N 0032record N 0001 ok" - the "ok" at the end means you've done it properly. 
• If you want to upload a regular file to your phone, the process is similar. 
o You must select the directory you wish to upload the file to in the directory tree area. 
o For example, the mma_ucp file needs to be uploaded to "/a/mobile/system/" so be sure to select "system" in the directory tree. 
o Then click "PC >>> Phone" and find the modified file, and click ok. 
o If you're successful, you'll see "File upload... /a/mobile/system/mma_ucp ok" - the "ok" at the end means you've done it properly. 
o Note that mma_ucp and mma_dcp must be uploaded to "/a/mobile/system/" and gain_table.bin must be uploaded to "/a/". 
• Now click "Restart phone" and once your phone reboots, double check that the appropriate changes were made.

Step 5 - Java Games Games Step A - Enabling Java App Loader

To install Java Games you need to make sure that Java App Loader is enabled on your Moto, 99% chance that it is disabled on your phone after it was released. 2 ways to enable it: A) Through Motorola PST (which I cannot include for copyright reasons) B) Through seem editing, which you can easily do yourself. Just incase here are:

Directions for enabling app loader using PST 

01) plug in your USB cable and then load the Phone Programmer.
02) You will see a box that will say PST as the caption and it will say "Establishing connectiong with Motorola phone."
03) It may take some time to establish a connection so be patient. The Phone Programmer will install various driver files when you use it for the first time. If it requests a CD with the file "P2K.sys" on it, simply browse to the directory where you installed PST and you will find the file.
04) Next, click "file" then "new" from the options menu.
05) Select "KJava File" it is the prelast choice on the list
06) Click the "Read Data from phone icon" 
07) The "Enable/Disable Java App Loader Menu" button will now be clickable as indicated
08) Click the button and the Java Application Loader will be enabled on your phone.
09) That's it - your phone is now ready to accept Java games.
10) Close PST and unplug your phone. Your phone will be suspended, simply turn it off and on again to restart your phone (this is preferable to using the phone restart option in the Phone Programmer).

Directions for enabling app loader using Seem editing
1) Download the 0032_0001.seem from your Moto using p2kman (read step #4 for download instructions)
2) Go to the program called SeemPlayer 2.91, go to the Files tab on the right hand side click it then choose Vxxx seem then choose the first one which is 0032_0001.seem (Enable hidden functions)
3) On the bottom of the screen, first button on the right hand side it will say open, hit it and then open the 0032_0001.seem you downloaded from your Moto. 
4) Then click the Settings tab, on the top of the screen, its the pre-last tab right before GPRS.
5) In settings on the right hand side scroll down until you see the category JAVA Settings, right below that title it will have a empty check box entitled "Java App Loader" click the box next to it and make sure a check exists in that box.
6) Now go to the bottom of the screen hit save then when it says "Do you want to save?" hit yes and it should say "operate successful, file backup to *.backup"
7) Open up up p2kman and upload the 0032_0001.seem back to your Moto (read step #4 for upload instructions)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6 - Java Games Step B - Uploading the Games

Now that Java App Loader is Enabled you can now upload the games/applications that are included. You use the program Midway to upload games.


01) Plug in your USB cable to your phone.
02) Run the Midway program
03) On your PC go to the control panel and then find the "Device Manager" and select the Motorola USB Modem. (On Windows XP, you can go to the Control Panel then the Printers and Other Hardware then Phone and Modem options and then Modems tab) For other windows versions you can simply go to the help function of windows and type in Device Manager and it will help you locate it. REMEMBER TO SELECT THE select the Motorola USB Modem.
04) Click "Advanced" then "Advanced Port Settings" and make a note of the COM port 
05) Unplug your USB cable.
06) Go to your phone, go to the menu, "Settings", then "Java Settings" and select "Java App Loader".
07) A message will come up saying "Insert Cable Now". Insert your USB cable.
08) A confirmation message will pop up on your phone saying "JAL Link is active...".
09) Leave your USB cable plugged in and load Midway.
10) Select your COM port from the menu and click ok
11) Open your chosen game or applications' jad file. There should be a corresponding jar file with it.
12) Click the send icon to begin sending the Java file to your phone
13) A message will pop up on your phone with the download details and Midway will pause
14) Confirm the download on your phone and the download will start
15) Let the download finish, and congratulations - you have successfully transferred a Java ap!
16) Your phone will automatically install the application for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 7 - Uploading ringtones (Mp3 and Midi)

This step is listed last just because even though it is the #1 reason why people wish to "trick out their moto" this method is the hardest one to achieve.

Reasons why?
A) Software (Motorola Phone Tools or MPT) is not free, I cannot include it because I do not have the official rights.
B) You cannot upload ringtones via p2kman
c) The only shareware to upload ringtones is mobiledit! but that has a certain limit before it expires

Solutions?
A) Legally buy MPT or get it "illegally" lol whatever method you choose you are on your own
B) Buy the serial # to mobiledit! 

Either way I will still list here the methods you have to use to upload ringtones

Steps using Mobiledit!
1) Double click on MOBILedit!.exe, follow the on instructions, keep hitting next until you get to the final screen, wait for the installation to finish
2) Plug in your USB cable into the PC and then into your phone
3) Run the program, a shortcut will be installed either on the desktop or Start Menu
4) When it gives you the option to automatically find the phone or manually add your phone. SELECT AUTOMATIC FIND! Manual find doesn't work all the time and can cause you problems. Afterwards everything is pretty self explanatory you will see the make and model of your phone on the bottom of the status bar. 
5) To add audio, pictures or video simply go to the Files folder in the Devices box. Then open up audio folder and select copy from and find the files you need. Its pretty self explanatory and very simple to use

Step using MPT:
You have to find these on your own on various websites such as howardforums.com I do not include them because I am unable to.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting:
• I can't get P2Kman to recognize my phone. 
o Did all the drivers install properly? 
o Did you try restarting your phone and trying it again? 
o Did you try restarting your computer and trying it again? 
o What type of USB cable are you using? I hope it's a Motorola OEM one. 
o Did you install MPT first? Is the phone recognized using that software? 
o Is the phone recognized as "Motorola USB Modem" when you first plug it in? 
o Does Windows recognize that there is any type of USB device plugged in? Check the device manager. 
o Did you try installing PST? That sometimes works. I can't tell you where to get it, though, as it's not freeware. 
o Have you tried manually installing the drivers? Go to Control Panel > Add New Hardware > Select from List > Have Disk and point to drv/p2k.inf in the P2Kman folder. 
• I uploaded my edited gain_table.bin to my phone and I don't notice any difference. 
o Did you change the correct offset? 
o Was the value you changed the offset to between 00 and 08? 
o Did you save the gain_table.bin before you uploaded it? 
o Did you set the upload path on P2Kman to "/a/"? 
o Did you use the "PC >>> Phone" button? (Don't use the "Upload seem" button!) 
o Did you restart your phone? 
• I uploaded the seem to my phone and I don't notice any difference. 
o Did you change the correct bit of the correct offset? 
o Did you save the seem before you uploaded it? 
o Did you enter the correct seem and record number in P2Kman properly? 
o Did you use the "Upload seem" button? (Don't use the "PC >>> Phone" button!) 
o Did you restart your phone? 
o Was your change Engineering, AIM, IM, Mobile QQ, Videos, Bluetooth, or Quick Menu? 
? If so, did you check your mma_ucp and mma_dcp files? See the section "Activating Menu Items for Special Features" for more info.

Frequently Asked Questions:
• When I have my bluetooth headset paired with my phone, it uses a default ringtone instead of my custom one. How do I get it to use my custom ringtone? You can't. Sorry. That's a Motorola bug. 
• I enabled advanced network menus, but manual network selection doesn't show up. How do I enable it? Adjust seem 0032, offset 02, bit 1. Unfortunately, this will likely cause your voicemail indicator to act up and you will receive text messages from ^@ and _@ whenever you get a voicemail or check it. 
• I keep getting wierd text messages from ^@ and _@ and/or my voicemail indicator is always on. How do I fix this? Adjust seem 0032, offset 02, bit 1. Unfortunately, this will likely cause you to lose manual network selection. 
• How do I unbrand my phone without flexing? It's not difficult. First, you'll probably want to set the outer LCD to the Motorola icon instead of the custom text, turn the custom startup/shutdown animations off in favor of the Motorola OEM ones, and turn off the custom startup/shutdown sounds. Now, we need to remove all those pesky branded menus. You'll need to replace your mma files. If you have a TRIPLETS phone (V300/400/500/600) use these Vxxx mma files. If you have a V551, use these V551 mma files. These mma files have all menus in them and no branding. Back up your original mma files and upload these new ones to /a/system/ using P2Kman. Reset the file attribute on mma_dcp to "4" ... the attribute for mma_ucp stays "0". Next (back it up first) delete the file /a/DL_DB_INET_RECORDS if it is on your phone. This file contains the "Shop Ringtones," "Shop Graphics," and "Shop Games & Apps" menus that show up in various places. Finally, (back it up first) replace /a/mib_op_greet with the Motorola OEM one so that when you startup the WAP browser you don't have branding there. Reset the file attribute to "4". Restart your phone and you'll be unbranded. 
• Where can I get cool talking ringtones that say stuff like "You have an incoming call"? Right here: xlr8_talking_tones.zip. You're welcome. 
• Can I make my phone vibrate and ring at the same time? If you have a TRIPLETS phone (V300/400/500/600), you're out of luck. But if you have a V551, it can be done! Seem 0032, offset 7A, bit 4. That'll do it. 
• Why doesn't AIM work on my TRIPLETS phone? The AIM program on the V300/400/500/600 only works with T-Mobile USA. The settings are hardwired into the software and can't be changed, so there's not way to make this program work with another provider. Sorry. 
• How do I use the IM program? First, you'll need to setup the program with your GPRS settings so it can connect to the internet. Then, you'll need to signup for service with Yamigo and you'll be able to use the IM program. 
• Can I add Bluetooth to my V300/400? You can add the menu, but it won't work. The bluetooth hardware simply isn't in the phone. Sorry. 
• What are your recommended gain_table settings? I have my earpiece set to "5" so I can turn it up really loud if I'm in a loud place and need to hear. I have my ringtone and speakerphone set to "3" because anything more causes distortion and isn't good for the external speaker. I have my keypad left at "1" because it's just fine how it is. I have my system tones set to "1" because I want them much quieter, but don't want them completely turned off. 
• How can I set my outer LCD backlight to stay on when the flip is open? You can't. I know you love your custom outer LCD text and want the world to see it, but it would really waste your battery. 
• How do I enable 850 MHz support without flexing my T-Mobile phone? Adjust seem 0025, offset 00 so that bits 0, 1, and 3 are all "on". If you're a stickler for detail, grab seem 0171_0001 and change the text in there to say "Quad-Band GSM" - this is what displays in the Settings > Phone Status > Other Information > Technology menu. Restart your phone and you'll have 850 MHz support. You will likely not be able to register on any of those towers, though, due to lack of roaming agreements. 
• My main menu will only show as a list, even if I select to view it by icon. How do I fix this? Your main menu must have exactly nine items in it in order to be viewed by icon. You either did some editing to your mma files and added or removed something from the main menu, or you seem edited and deactivated one of the menu items in the main menu, meaning less than nine are now showing. 
• How do I make my phone ring longer/shorter before going to voicemail? This works on the Cingular network; I'm not sure about others. First you need to find your voicemail access number. Two ways: (1) Menu >> Messages >> Menu >> Voicemail Setup (2) Menu >> Settings >> Call Forward >> Voice Calls. From your home screen, type "* 61 * (voice mail access number) ** (time in multiples of 5 ) #" and then press SEND. For example, if my voicemail access number is 404-555-1212 and I want it to ring for 20 seconds before forwarding to voicemail, I would type: *61*14045551212**20# 
• My phone displays "Flex error, subsidy lock" everytime I start up my phone. How do I rid of this? Open up P2Kman and remove the file "/a/mobile/system/secure_pds_init" then go to Settings > Personalize > Greeting and clear it out. Restart and the message will be gone.

Addendum 1- P2Kman File Attributes:
• The Last Number in the attribute column of P2Kman is the file attribute. 
• 0 = no attribute 
• 1 = read only file (locked, cannot be deleted through phone menus) 
• 2 = hidden file (cannot be seen in phone menus) 
• 4 = system file (will not be deleted on master clear) 
• Attributes can be combined by adding the numbers. For example, to make a file read only and hidden, set the attribute to 3 (because 1 + 2 = 3). 
________________________________________
Addendum 2- GPRS Status Icons:
• The Vxxx manual does a poor job explaining the GPRS status icons. 
• Icon #1 - "Three Blue Boxes" means GPRS is available on the network, but you are not "attached." You will likely never see this icon unless you set "Gp Auto Attach" to "Off" in the Engineering Menu. 
• [View Icon #1] 
• Icon #2 - "White Box with Blue Pentagons Above and Below" means GPRS is available and you are attached. Any text stored in seem 01a8_0001 will overwrite the date in the second line of the display when this icon appears. 
• [View Icon #2] 
• Icon #3 - "Small Box inside Big Box with Rays of Sunlight" means GPRS is currently active (that is, you are in a GPRS session and data can potentially be sent or received at any time). You may not see this icon when GPRS is active, depending on your flex. This status icon can be disabled in the 0032 seem, and you'd only see Icon #2 when data is being transferred. If enabled, "GPRS Active" will overwrite the date in the second line of the display when icon #3 appears. 
• [View Icon #3] 
________________________________________
Addendum 3- Phone Malfunction:
• So you made a mistake seem editing, and now your phone turns on, but crashes immediately and you can't maintain a connection to P2Kman long enough to restore your backup seems and files. 
• Take a deep breath. It can be fixed. You are going to need to flash and flex your phone with a "monster" file. 
• Get a monster file from here: AcidJazz Motorola. Be sure to choose a monster file that won't lock your phone to a specific network. 
• Turn your phone on in "Boot Loader" mode. You can do this by holding the * and # buttons while turning on the phone. The phone can be flash/flexed in this mode. 
• From here, follow the instructions at mob453.com to flash and flex your phone back to working order. 
• Note: When you plug your phone into the USB cable in Boot Loader mode, it will be recognized as a "S Flash Neptune" device. This is normal. You may need to point the driver installation to the p2k.sys file that came with P2Kman.

Addendum 4- MCC-MNC Codes:
• 310-410: Cingular Wireless (main network) 
• 310-170: Cingular Wireless (CA/NV network, shared with T-Mobile) 
• 310-150: Cingular Wireless (DCS network, Coastal GA/SC/NC) 
• 310-380: AT&T Wireless (main network) 
• 310-260: T-Mobile 
• 310-500: PSC Wireless 
• 310-490: SunCom 
• 334-020: Telcel GSM (Mexico) 
________________________________________
Addendum 5- Unlocking Web Sessions:
• On certain flexes, the web session profiles under Web Access > Web Sessions are locked and cannot be edited or deleted. 
• Here's how to unlock them so you can edit them or delete them. 
• Using P2Kman, download the file /a/WebSession 
• Open this file in your XVI32. 
• You'll see the information from each profile under Web Access > Web Sessions 
• To unlock a web session, find the name of the web session in the file on the text side. 
• Look at the three offsets prior to the first letter on the hex side. 
• You should see 03 05 00, or you might see 01 05 00. 
• Change the first number to "03" and the middle number to "04". (You should have 03 04 00.) 
• Reupload the WebSession file to the /a/ directory. 
• Make sure you change the attribute on the file to "4" 
• Restart your phone and you can now edit or delete that web session! 
________________________________________
Addendum 6- Unlocking the Right Soft Key:
• On certain flexes (AT&T), the right soft key is locked to mMode and cannot be changed in Settings > Personalize > Home Screen > Home Keys. 
• Here's how to unlock that key (or another key, for that matter) so you can change it to what you want. 
• Open the mma_ucp in XVI32 (refer to the section "Activating Menu Items for Special Features" for more info). 
• Toward the top of the file, you should notice the "Browser" menu item. 
• In the offset just prior to the text "Browser" you should see "E" on the text side of XVI32. 
• Change that offset from "E" to "A". 
• Upload mma_ucp back to the /a/system/ directory. 
• Make the exact same change to mma_dcp and upload that back to the /a/system/ directory. 
• Restart your phone and you can now change the right soft key to whatever you want!
