Deadend, The kjava manager in moto4lin doesn't seem to work with the slvr phone. Now for the good news I have figured out a way for Mac Users to install iTunes on their phones!! I have written up an advanced tutorial complete with needed files. I will release a more in depth guide later. here it is! http://www.tcsn.net/mont/Advanced_O...irty_Guide.html

Enjoy! -Digitol-

Hey does anyone know how to get the Opera mini web browser working on the original Razr V3? I've successfully been able to install the application using my Bluetooth connection to my Mac. It comes on and everything...I just can't get the darn thing to access the internet. Browsing the Net on my phones WAP browser works fine though. It's like the mini browser isn't using the same port as the WAP browser......

Hey AquaCoco, whois your phone service provider? Depending on who your settings will vary.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with all of the various mobile providers, but my service works like this:

I'm in Cincinnati, OH. Our main phone provider is Cincinnati Bell. Cincinnati Bell has a monthly wireless service and a pre-paid wireless service called i-wireless. I use i-wireless. Now I think that Cincinnati Bell runs its mobile network off of AT&T's network, but I'm not sure.

If you or anyone else has some info that could help, I'd really appreciate it!

Okay, this is from memory....

1. Plug in your phone
2. Open terminal and type the following:
ls -la /dev
3. Now scroll up and look for something like cu.usbmodemxxxx
Note: it is easier to follow the instructions on the wiki site but after I got used to knowing what I was looking for I just used the ls command after I plugged the phone in. Sorry....
Mine was cu.usbmodem1B11
5. Now open up Moto4lin and open up preferences
6. In the top line (ACM device) change the entry to match up for your phone, mine is /dev/cu.usbmodem1B11 for my RAZR and /dev/cu.usbmodem5B141 for my ROKR
7. Click the Update list button to display all your USB devices
Note: Here's what I found to be the tricky part
8. The first time you click the button, find your phone and click set as AT Device. Click ok to close the prefs window.
9. Click the Connect/Disconnect button and it should start to connect and then fail
10. Open up the preferences again and click the update list button and you will now see a different number for your phone. Click the set as P2k Device button.
Mine was 4902 for AT and 4901 for P2k, odd but it works.

Let me know if this helps.

BTW I was able to edit some seems on my ROKR last night so I would expect the same to be true for the RAZR.

WFC!!!

Thank you so much. I was able to get my Motorolla RAZR V3 working with this. Someone needs to write a really good detailed description of how to get things working. It took me tens of forums and multiple downloads and installs, but its working now. Thanks so much, long live opensource and apple.

One point worth adding to CyberGreg's description maybe -- the Unix filename assigned to the mobile (e.g. /dev/cu.usbmodem1B11) seems to depend on which USB socket you use, so you need to make sure you plug the mobile into the same socket you set up moto4lin with in the first place every time, or you may suddenly find the program is not working.

Just got a Verizon Motorola V3M Razr. I desperately want to put my one wallpapers and ringtones on this thing (not to mention get a few photos off it). From what I understand, Moto4lin is what I want. I a running it on a Mac and it is running fine...connects to the phone as P2K and everything but I get:

Quote:

Try to connect
[info] Phone connected as P2K
[error] Unable to get phone model
[error] Unable to get drive name
[error] Unable to get file count
[error] Unable to get drive name

Others have posted having this problem but I haven't seen an answer. Is this a Verizon problem? If so, how do I fix it? I'd love someone to steer me in the right way here. Someone please tell me where the problem is.

Posted by: Digitol

Hello Elb?

The Verizon version of the razr is not a SIM chip based phone, and thus WILL NOT work with Moto4lin. Try using BitPim. = ) it will work.

anyone? what happened to this thread..i dont see a new one anywhere!?

Posted by: Digitol

Will013: I just completed and released my second release of Moto4linConfigurator, which should autmatically get you connected with moto4lin. You can download it here: http://digitol.homeip.net/Moto4LinConfig.zip

Hope that helps. -Digitol-

Posted by: NitroWill

Hi Digitol,
Thanks for the reply...
I ran your program and it said everything was configured successfully..
I open up Moto4Lin and it reads:
[info] Phone pluged as AT
Try to connect
[info] AT phone found
[info] Switching device /dev/cu.usbmodem0000101D1 to P2K mode...
[error] Unable to connect

i dont know what the problem is, it works fine on a windows machine?! any help would be great...

thanks,
will

I can't find the post now, but to whoever made the auto settings for Moto4Lin, i just wanted to say THANKS A TON. I was struggling so much, I actually got it connected once, then I couldn't connect from then on. I used your settings, turned on Moto4Lin, hit two buttons and was in.

The exterier screen of my v190 now says BooBooMagoo (highschool nickname). More to come soon, I need to go to bed.

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks. We should really change the title of this thread to "Mac OSX moto software" originally the v635 shooed me away, making me think it wouldn't work (might help out the other noobs, too)

@will013: this setting: /dev/cu.usbmodem0000101D1 looks like you have waaay too many hubs connected. If that is the case, try connecting the phone strait in to a usb port on your mac. Keep us posted! -Digitol-

P.S. for those who have tried my moto4linconfigurator, let me know of your successes or failures with it.

digitol,
i dont have ANY hubs plugged in, the above is with the phone plugged directly into my Macbook..a fresh install of OS X at that....

Just wanted to say thankyou very much lads for all the info. I'd be screwed otherwise. This is the only forum I found with info on mac/razr mind-bending.....i must admit it took a while to get through the thread and experience everyone's problems.....what a great resource. I basically registered to thank you all. Id like to see what else comes out of this amazing site....

Interestingly the local electronics shop tryed to sell me a $50 driver/cable setup. Instead I vyed for a simple cam usb cable for $15...worked perfect with above mentioned software.

Still confounded by the game upload though....got about 100. Come up app expired! Dunno how to create a blank .pat file? Any advice appreciated....

cheers.

the configuator works very well, I've been using the most latest version posted on a G3 iBook and my v190. The only thing I'm working on is installing the developer tools, freaking 2.4 GB is gonna kill me tiny 30gb HD, has anyone found a way or a version of the moto4lin that lets you instal Java Apps and move files to and from your phone without installing the developer tools?

Posted by: Digitol

bye4now12, I'm pretty sure the moto4lin build I provide in my guides is self contained, and you don't need the dev tools to use it. I will double check this and post back to confirm.
-Digitol-

Posted by: bye4now12

Alright, I'll check again I think I got my download from another website so I'll give it a shot from your tutorials.

Thanks

Thanks so much, currently have my phone all correctly attatched and am going to load a few things. Do you have any idea on where to load .mp3 files? Also, where would I load skins?

Thanks, and don't worry if you can't answer. If it matters I'm on a v190

Thanks, I've so far loaded a few screen savers, mp3s and wall papers, only thing I'd like to get working now are the skins. I'll read into it and if I can find out how I'll post it here.

Hello Folks; just thought I would let you know I have completed YET ANOTHER MAC Moto Utility!! It's a GUI version of demitri's CLI (command line interface, Terminal based) Flasher utility. You can now flash font sets, and monsterpacks to your phone using your mac! Support is limited, so far it seems to only work with Razr V3 and Peble phones. It works with some L7 Slvr's as well. This flasher utility will accept .shx filetypes only. You can get it here now! http://digitol.homeip.net/shxflasher.zip ENJOY!! -Digitol-

**WARNING** Use at own risk! Please be sure before you flash your phone that you know what your doing, make sure the software you are flashing matches your phone.

I have been able to get moto4lin to connect to my e398 and I want to install iTunes but as I update the list, i do not have a /c/ directory to complete the install. I have installed a Monsterpack to upgrade to a v398 but I don't know if that has something to do with not having a "C" direcory.

Any ideas?!?

Posted by: Digitol

@Sprocket: If your phone does not have a TF card forget about it. If so. let me know. EDIT: OK I See your phone should have a TF card. Strange!! No C drive listed in moto4lin eh? Do you have A and B? where do your java apps get installed?

Thanks. Actually I had been able to get that file from backup by the time I wrote, so am now OK, and was basically asking on behalf of others. Did you also put the mini-QT library that is needed (which I also recovered from a backup) on to your web pages?

Posted by: Digitol

No, This version of Moto4lin is self contained. It has all it needs w/o needing dependancy files installed. -Digitol-
