Razr V3 Picture Transferring

Hello,

I a Motoroal Razr V3 phone. I have a 2gb memory card in the memory slot.

Three questions:

1. What is the memory limit for this phone? Will 2gb work okay?
2. How can I transfer the pictures from the memory card to my computer
WITHOUT taking out the memory card?
3. Will a standard usb cable (with the proper connectors) work okay or do I
need to purchase a special cable?

Thanks ahead of time,

Ron

I've got a 2 Gb SanDisk TransFlash in my phone. It seems to work.

It depends on where you got your phone. If it's a Verizon Wireless
phone, you are going to have to hack it before you can transfer files
over the USB cable. Transferring files over the air will result in a
charge on your bill from Verizon but you can do it that way if you don't
mind paying for the privilege.

A standard USB cable will NOT work. The connector on the phone is a
special "miniature" USB connector. Some cameras; e.g. Nikon CoolPix 885
use a compatible cable. You can buy such cables on Amazon with a
useless copy of Motorola Phone Tools that won't work with, or even
recognize, a RAZR, for a buck or two.

Hello Richard,

First I want to thank you for the message.

I do have a usb cable with the "a" miniature connector. I can charge the
cell phone with the cable. and I can transfer addresses and appointments
with the cable.

How do I Hack the phone to be able to transfer the pictures. Or is hacking a
BAD idea?

Thanks ahead of time,

Ron

Do you have a Verizon phone? If not you do NOT need to hack it. Just go to
the picture, hit options and move to the phones memory. BUT there is NO need
to do so. It will just use up what little internal memory the phone already
has.

Google is your friend here. Use a search string of "Motorola RAZR
hack". With a bit of research you should be able to learn how to hack
your phone and the exact changes you need to make to get the effect you
want.

As soon as you tinker with your phone's programming, you void your
warranty! If you are careful to make a backup copy of your phone's
program and settings you should be able to restore your phone to its
original state if you need to. This MAY be sufficient to conceal what
you have done and protect your rights under warranty. Then again, it
may not. I've never done it myself and I have no intention of doing it.

I need a phone that works. The rest; camera, music, video, etc, is all
"window dressing" to me. Popular music usually just hurts my ears. My
interest in any sort of television or video is just about zero. If I
need a camera, my wife has a real camera with higher resolution, flash,
zoom, 2GB of memory, etc.

I asked the same question here. And got pretty much what your getting.
A bunch of links to forums. Hours of reading. People telling me to use
google. And how easy it is to hack your phone...

I got everything but a direct answer. Same as your getting...

I read for hours at different links. Never did fir a straight forward
step by step of how to do it... Just a lot of opinions... With mixed
replies. A couple people would write back saying thanks for the info
it worked great. And others would write back saying they followed the
steps and had no luck.

If this is easy as replies here would have you think. Why is there no
step by step on how to do it? Why doesn't someone that replied to this
post a step by step on how it's done...?

And there will be no useful reply to what I have written either. Just
a bunch of ragging about what I said. Nothing to address the question.

I want to thank EVERYONE for their help on this matter. It is this type of
help that makes the Internet a tool and not a toy.

Yes I have a Verizon Cell Phone (it says Verizon on the Startup screen). It
is NOT under warranty. I purchased it off eBay and got it activated for free
(switched out old phones for a newer and smaller cell phone).

So, from what everyone is saying I will need to hack it then. Is there
anything I need to watch out before I start?

Thanks ahead of time,

Ron

Hello Shelly,

I understand what you are saying. I do like how people are willing to try to
help though. Like you I would prefer to have a step by step instructions. It
looks like there is a website with something close to it. I will read it and
see if I want to take the next step.

Did you ever get your phone to do what you wanted it to do?

Copy all your SEEM files to a safe storage location, make copies and work on
the copies. Use Motokit to edit, can't remember where I got my copy but you
should be able to track it down. I may have got it here:
www.e398mod.com/content/view/80/28/

Pop into www.howardforums.com for hints, tips and very good advice.

You will not find what you need to hack your phone on the forums or
in this newsgroup in a coherent manner, no matter how beautifully laid
out the instructions look. Everybody leaves something out. I don't
know exactly why, but that is the case with almost any type of
hacking. People lie & mislead & pretend like they know what they are
doing. You can be assured though that the most obnoxious posters in
this forum have no clue. That is why they tell you to Google & search
the forums, without telling you directly how to hack your phone.

It took me a whole night to get through all the B.S. and finally get
into my phone. The first time you do it, there are quite a few steps
that you have to do correctly but after that it is very, very easy.

If you are really serious about learning how, I can walk you through -
and anybody else that is interested - hacking your Verizon phone. A
while back I posted a long detailed explanation but it was too hard to
include everything. It would take me too long to go through all the
steps for everyone because there are a lot of differences and things
to look out for, especially if you have already messed up your
computer by putting MPT on it.

Anybody up for it?

It was easy, here.

1 - Go to Alltel Store

2 - Churn

3 - Copy files using COPY or MOVE commands

Problem solved and no more lies from Verizon Employees!

Calls are STILL free to your Verizon-stuck buddies when you put 'em on your
My Circle list. For what you're paying VZW, you can have thousands of
minutes per month and really unlimited tethered EVDO data!

Sorry if you don't live in Alltel Country.....
That's not my fault....MOVE!

I think that they are genuinely clueless and just parrot what they
have been told to say. I think very few of them have the inclination
to play with their phones or to investigate what they have been told.
Most probably do not even know that they are lying.

Unfortunately I am stuck with Verizon for the next year or so and I
really don't do much tethering. I don't need EVDO just to SSH into
one of my servers -- and Verizon has not caught on yet that I do
infrequently use data.

Since your so smart at this tell me why when I follow the steps from
http://www.hacktherazr.com/guides.html the drivers install but still
my system does not recognize the phone? Could it be that Verizon has
changed their software? That seems to be the general answer I am
getting from other sources. So maybe that is why not everyone is able
to give complete answers to the questions being asked. I too have
looked on several sites and still can't find a step by step guide for
getting my Razr to work with my PC. Cellcables,com is the only one who
has said they would be coming out with software to work with my
software version on the phone.

Plus you're kind of rude - I thought the purpose of this group was to
help others, not jerk them around. I guess I could be wrong.

You have to be sure that 1) all remnants of MPT are gone from your
system - if they ever were there and 2) that all four drivers have
loaded and are recognized. Drivers have to do with hardware not
software, so Motorola would have had to change their hardware, not
Verizon change their firmware.

Re the rude people around here --> like I said before, the more rude
they are, it seems like the less they know.

re http://www.hacktherazr.com/guides.html : Offhand, what I see that
is wrong just from reading the first page is that it recommends PST as
the background app. This is dated 08/26/2005 and therefore is
unlikely to work with current hardware. At least it never worked with
any Verizon Motorola phone that I tried. Makes me wonder what else is
wrong on this site -- and why.

P.S. The correct software to use is "Motorola Software Update". You
can get this directly from Motorola at:
