When I plug my Razor V3i (not Itunes) into my PC, and start MPT, MPT
keeps saying initializing but it wont connect the phone.
I have completely reinstalled MPT several times. But that didn't fix
the issue.
I am trying to connect my phone by USB. I am using the USB cable that
Moto provided (and it has worked fine before).
Using Windows Vista Ultimate Home Edition
(for what it is worth, this is a pretty bad piece of software that
needs to be completely over-hauled in my opinion)

Make sure your phone USB is configured for Data Connection, not Data
Card.

Re: Moto Phone Tools Issue
Try removing the "Motorola USB Modem" from Modems in Device Manager
(assuming Vista still has that). Restart MPT and wait for it to instruct
you to plug the phone in.

Install the USB driver from the Motorola Developer website.

Try:
1. Remove battery reset of the phone.
2. Completely removing the modem and USB driver from Device Manager, and
reinstall.

Re: Moto Phone Tools Issue

morning.

Just the modem and driver at this point.

For MOBILedit! Forensic v2.6.0.14, I found the following serial #:
Name Jan Mach
Company Jan Mach
Serial F5FN8-FHAD7-VR2HE-RG4DV-LJK25
Haven't tried it so I don't know whether it will work.
P.S. My rant as to why MPT sucks big time, and for so many different
reasons:
1) For my phone, they and Verizon lied about whether I needed a
special USB cable. They said I did but I didn't believe them and used
a USB cable with the proper-looking connector that I had lying around,
and it worked!
2) I suspect that MPT is reacting to some other software that you have
installed on your computer. I have several computers lying around but
it would only work with a laptop on which I had freshly wiped and
installed WinXP. I have read in the forums that MPT has major
problems with Vista.
3) In reality, the only thing that MPT may be good for with your
Verizon phone is copying & editing contacts. Although they have
colluded with Verizon to agree to restrict your phone use, they tell
you about tethering your phone, making and copying ringtones to your
cell phone, etc. with only a disclaimer in small print that these
features may be unavailable to you because of the capabilities of your
phone. In reality, your phone does have these capabilities but
Verizon's flash image has limited them, and they have decided to honor
Verizon's wishes.
4) If you actually do get the proper drivers for your phone (as listed
in one of the previous replies, off of the Motorola site), MPT will
destroy these when it is run.
I have found that I can do everything that my phone is cabable of with
the following software:
Motorola End User Handset USB Drivers 32, 3.3.0.msi
(you may need to point Windows to these drivers when it is finding
your phone's hardware)
Motorola_Software_Update.exe
(this runs in the background to put your phone in the state needed to
copy/transfer files, edit seems, etc. with P2K Commander and P2K Seem
Editor)
P2K Commander 4.9.e.zip
P2K Seem Editor for V710.zip
Sorry for this to be so long but I have been frustrated with
Verizon/MPT for quite a long time. Of course, if you don't have
Verizon like I do, your phone is probably not as restricted.
P.P.S. If your phone plays MP3s, you don't have to buy the VCast
Music Manager software. It is freely downloadable from Verizon as
VZMM2-DL-MOTOR-Bld39-V3m-K1m-L7c-MAXXVE-001.exe (Google for it).

Re: Moto Phone Tools Issue
Try this:
1. In Mobile Phone Tools go to General Setup
2. Go to the Communication Tab
3. Click on Change Modem
4. Click Next
5. Make sure Motorola USB Modem is highlighted and click Next
6. Check the box for Do not Automatically Detect and click Next
7. On the left side choose Motorola GSM and on the right side choose
your model and click Next
8. Click Finish
9. Click OK out of the General Setup
