How-to: MP3 your Ringtones for the W580i

All the steps with creating the .dm file worked great but I am having a problem with sending it to my phone using MyPhoneExplorer...

While I'm uploading the dm file to my phone it gives me an error..

"Error During Upload:<<File name>>.dm
OBEX Errorcode: 00 - Phone didn't answer"

The upload comes to a hault and the file doesn't get transfered...
any ideas on that one?

I've also tried to transfer the file to my phone without the "MyPhoneExplorer" program and it does send the file to my phone but it doesn't give me the option to make it a ringtone, it just puts it in my "others" folder in my phone and doesn't let me utilize it as anything...

First I want to say thankyou to Dalton for taking the time to try to help people out with their phone. It worked on my g/f metro pink unlocked phone. I didn't have a problem with any of it. instructions were simple and right.

Im new here but Dalton I wanna say thx, although im having a prob of my own. I have the SE W580i and im also with Rogers.

Everything worked fine until the very last step. I get a popup on my phone but its not the right one. It says 'file saved in ''others'' folder on memory stick'. I tryed taking out the MS but then it did the same but on the phone's memory.

I did see on your post that the protected file must not go in the Memory stick or phone memory and I did all that. Im stuck and i really had gotten my hopes up about all this.

I need help, feedback ohh please!

Easy... yes, it goes to OTHER on your memory stick (by default), then when your finished bring over ringtones and the phone is off the cord to the computer, let the phone reset itself, and then go find the ringtones you downloaded. Sadly, only can do one by one. Find the ringtone, scroll over it, click on MORE, Manage file, Move then it will give you an option where to put it. Make sense? Sorry, I would have replied sooner but I was at work last night. Thankfully I'm off for the next 3 weeks!!! VACATIONS BABY!

Anywho, let me know if it works.

Listen, it worked great. I mean im good with computers and new techs but i must have been doing something wrong in the first place. I can now use my mp3s as rings. How cool is that, not having to pay Rogers more money to use a feature thats already on my phone.

Thank you Dalton for your quick response and i'll make sure to check out the new threads on this forum.

i had the same problem as johnny but when i try to transfer the file from the other folder it wont let me. it has a little key with a line through it. also i was a little confused by what you said about tranfering then disconnecting then moving. any help would be appreciated.

I need help too please.. i followed everything and i can use my ringtones... there's a red line going through them.. what does this mean?

It means your not doing it right. Try again. I just followed my easy to follow instructions and it worked like a charm. I've helped over 20 people (friends) who have the same phone and everything worked perfect for them too.

The red line means it's still blocked by copyright. Try again.

Hi I just got a W58i from Rogers as well. and I was trying to download the drm packager but when I try to install it, the command box will open for a second and then disapper. nothing happens after that. Is the link still you provided still valid? Would you know what might be the problem.
THanks
