Moto T731 & Mobile PhoneTools

Anyone here able to install the USB drivers for their Motorola phone? WinXP
(SP2) keeps giving me the "USB device is not recognized" error, which
prevents me from using the Mobile PhoneTools software, thanks.

The MPT disk contains the drivers. You need to make sure you delete the
Motorola phone from Device Manager under modems and maybe under ports.
Next, install MPT from the disk. Start MPT and then and ONLY then, plug
the phone into the USB port.

1.Verify and remove any Motorola items in device manager under modems, ports
and USB controller

2.Fresh install of MPT3.0

3.Reboot computer

4.Open MPT

5.Open default profile

6.Select USB cable from menu

7.Plug cable into phone, turn on phone, plug into USB port once phone is
powered up

8.MPT "please wait, your phone is being installed"

9. WinXP(sp2) "USB device detected and being installed"

10.WinXP(sp2) "Your device is installed and ready to use"

11.MPT still showing spinning clock and setup window

12.WinXP(sp2) "USB device not recognized" blah blah blah

13.MPT setup now closed and a phone is diplayed on my desktop

14.Display in phone shows "intializing..."

15.Checked device manager and it shows the following;
modems- standard modem
ports- com1
com2
printer
USB controller
unknown device

16.MPT still showing "Intializing..."

17.Now what?

Motorola T731, using a SKN6311B USD data cable, tested USB ports, they work
fine

Unplug phone, remove battery for 30 seconds, turn phone back on, plug in
cable, redetect phone. Not guaranteed but it's worked for me. I've
found that the battery removal trick often solves the problem.

Have you upgraded MPT to the very latest version (3.25b as of 5/22/05)
using live update? Since you have a newer model that would be important.
If so, you might try Data Pilot (www.datapilot.com) which lists the T730
series as supported. You don't have to buy their cable, just the
software. I have Data Pilot too and it's a good program, well supported.
