Not quite sure. Is it possible to use PST to flash the L7? I managed to acquire an unlocked (voda branded) silver SLVR (very nice too) and obviously now want to get it back to factory settings standard but have never used RSD Lite before. I have d/loaded the program and everything but just wondered if anyone had ried using PST to flash? I am no newbie by any means but couldn't find a definitive answer. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Now the date is wrong. Can't figure out how to change that, don't really feel like having to deal with anything except flashing which is the easiest for a noob like me. Anyway, if anyone knows where I can find the ORIGINAL retail moto oem flash (no brands and not the german retail 4513 that everyone has) then Please let me know. I doubt that anyone can find it or knows where it is because everyone would have that one instead. But it's worth a post to try.|

However, just today I flashed it with the German retail flash. BIG MISTAKE.

Mine displays Apr '06. Clearly a problem. I've tried restarting, resetting, etc. If anyone's had this problem and/or found a solution please let me know. It's starting to bother me more and more and I can't find a way to edit the date. Also my time display is military time. I would like to change that also. |

I hope that helps. I dont know if you've tried. I didnt read anywhere on your post that you have or not.. good luck |

Anyway, maybe that goes with the extensive knowledge you guys have. I do appreciate the help. Haven't been able to get a PC to get this done yet, but if it works it will be really neat, Meanwhile it was a much better use of my time to key the 500+ contacts I had in manually. Some things are better left to the pros! I ain't one, no doubt about it!

I made no reference to your use of ALL CAPS , so I really don't understand why you "QUOTED" my post when responding to somebodyelse's ISSUE with you using ALL CAPS and NOT COMINING BACK. One again, good luck and let us know how it turns out for you! |

This time the Chinese characters went away and it still connected with Bluetooth to my Mac. So I iSync'd it again (meanwhile the phone was all set up with the old German firmware before I flashed it and of course, all that was lost completely) and this time it modified the Address Book on my iSync by erasing all my contacts. I changed SIM cards back to my old Nokia 6620 and iSync'd that to get the contacts back on iSync and then put the SIM card back in the SLVR. I went to sync it again and lost some of the contacts (maybe 10%) and ALL the contacts were now first name last name. Sooooo, right before they came to get me, I was busy manually changing all the contacts back to last name first name. There is no shot at all to get the right mmode so I can get e-mail. If Cingular didn't have such awful service compared to Verizon I'd go get a real SLVR and trash this one. But I'm an old AT&T customer and I don't want to migrate to Cingular and get a Cingular contract. When I get out of this rubber room, I'm going to try to see if backing over it with my car will help. Thanks for your help, gotta go my straw and breakfast are here.

I also have Cingular Blue (AT&T) and have sucessfully configured mMode and MMS (manual input) using the settings for the V3. Note the GPRS APN setting for both mMode and MMS seems to be "proxy" (no quotes). I have the unlocked German version and was able to put 2 new entries under Web Sessions. I hope this helps! ![]() |
