ok ive emailed you through your yahoo not sure if you got it or not

SOLUTION 1

I have discovered a way to use your own MP3's as ringtones. It requires P2K Commander and a little bit of file editing.

1. Run P2K Commander (I used 5.0.8, or 5.1.0.)
2. Make sure you have the Motorola USB Handset drivers installed
3. Connect your Z6W phone in modem mode to your pc
4. Wait for P2K to connect to the phone
5. Once connected, navigate to /ezxlocal/download/appwrite/setup/theme
6. COPY the User_0.chm file to your PC
7. Open the file using WordPad or Notepad
8. Look for the lines containing:
CallAlertLine1 =
CallAlertLine2 =
9. If your file is called song.mp3 get the path to the file on your phone
10. If your file is stored on the root of your memory card the path will be /mmc/mmca1/song.mp3 and thus the changes you would make are:
CallAlertLine1 = /mmc/mmca1/song.mp3 same can be done for CallAlertLine2

If your file is stored on the phone itself via transfer through PC, Bluetooth etc. your file is probably in the Music directory located in /ezxlocal/download/mystuff/Music/ so you will edit the line in the file as follows:
CallAlertLine1 = /ezxlocal/download/mystuff/Music/song.mp3 same can be done for CallAlertLine2
11. COPY the User_0.chm file BACK to the phone in the directory you copied it from
12. Congrats you have custom ringtones on a Z6W!

Go to the following page and download the appropriate USB handset driver for Windows (probably using the 32-bit version):

Motorola - Hellomoto - US - Support – USB Drivers – PC Charging Drivers

alright thanks lets hope this works

5. Once connected, navigate to /ezxlocal/download/appwrite/setup/theme
6. COPY the User_0.chm file to your PC



I went into the directory, but the "User_0.chm" file was not there. Is there any other directories it might be hiding in?

With your Z6W connected successfully to PK Commander, you will may have to navigate up the folder to the top then navigate down to your "theme" folder again for everything to show up.

Good luck.

alright im gonna try this one more time

Remember, after you have made sure you have the USB driver installed for your phone (it downloads onto your PC), then you can plug in your USB cable, launch Motorola Software Update (which you should already have downloaded for free), and once MSU recognizes your Z6C, you should be able to launch P2kCommander (which you should also have already downloaded for free). You may have to try different versions of P2kC, but my Z6tv, which is similar to your Z6C, uses the latest version of P2kC. Let us know if at least your MSU recognizes the phone, and P2kC allows you to get to your phone's file system. From there, we can probably direct you to the right directory to copy your new ringtone MP3s from your PC. (On my Z6tv, they go into /a/brew/mod/my_ringers.)

thanks for your guidance Celljimian, followed your steps and it works on my z6w from Fido Canada.

Hey dude PLEASE help me. I'm here in Toronto Canada with FIDO and I have this phone. I tried my best to do what Big C up there said but I can't set mp3 as ringtone. PLEASE anyone help me.

What I am saying here is this, store your MP3 on your phone using your SD memory card.

step2: got to Multimedia->Sounds->Options->Managment->Move move the file from the SD card Memory to the Phone Memory. There is an option for this. But you can not do this from the MP3 player on the phone you HAVE TO do it from the SOUNDS Area on the phone.

That is the simplest and fastest way to do it. I no longer have that phone BUT I used to do it ALL THE TIME.

Dude, I'm here in Canada with FIDO as my provider and your SD card method does not work. I just tried it but it was quite different from yours because FIDO took away the option to move the mp3 from SD card to the phone memory. Everytime I click "manage", it does not give me the option to click "move or copy". So, moving to the phone memory was impossible for me because there was no option.

Freaking FIDO is pissing me off because in my phone help menu, it says I can apply voice notes as my ringtone yet my phone doesn't let me. It is sooo stupid. So, someone please assist.
