MPT Help

Not sure if this is where I should be posting this but I was wondering if anyone could explain to me why I can't update my version of MPT? I have version 3.23.

how are you trying to update it?
I would download the new one....then go remove the old one from your control panel before trying to install the new one.

Where can I find the new one?

You should be able to use live update to get to version 4.21a with no problem. I started with 3.23 myself, and after about 6 runs of live update, I have the latest version. If you can't get live update to run properly, try uninstalling the software and reinstalling MPT 3.23 using this link. Once it is installed, run live update as instructed above.

Using the live update I now have 4.2.1 should be pretty simple from the menu command

where is this live update thing? if its the program in C:\Program Files\mobile PhoneTools called LiveUpdateLauncher i cant get it to run it brings up a small black background for a split second then nothing happens.

It is in the menu of the actual MPT software. Click on menu, then setup, you will see liveupdate or update in the dropdown.

Thanks. Everything worked.

help help help, i've been messing with this mpt thing all day and night, i just uninstalled it. now i have the verizon v3c. is all i have to do is download mpt and just update it to the latest and then i should be able to use it. right? please help me!

Not if you have a V3c from Verizon running firmware version .03 or .04 currently. Only Verizon V3c's with frimware version .02 can automatically connect using MPT. You can accomplish the connection with a simple seem edit or a complete firmware downgrade to version .02, but neither should be tackled without caution and thorough preparation. You can find tutorials in this forum using the search function.

ok, so i upgraded as far as i could, and i even downloaded bitpim so i could edit the files on my phone so i could use mpt, and now there's not even a multimedia button, what do i do? and i've been searching for a downgrade with no luck, any help?

Check motomodders they should have all your firmware needs

This is what you need to do to make the Verizon V3c work with MPT. Click on "Menu", go to "General Setup" and click the "Communications" tab. Click "Change Modem" and follow the instructions. When you get to the "detect driver" screen, put a check mark in the box next to "Do not automatically detect driver. Select from list." and click "Next".

Choose "Motorola CDMA" and scroll the list until you see "V3cm". Select this phone and click "Next". Then, simply click "Finish" and it will reload MPT. Your phone will be recognized and you will have access to the "Multimedia Studio" options.

That should resolve your MPT issues. Please note: this fix may only make the button show up on your MPT interface. It will not make the button work if you have firmware version .03 or higher and have not edited the proper seems.

Good luck!
