sorry - i'm a newbie. i searched (here and elsewhere) but couldn't find this info.

i have a uk v3x on 3 w. old firmware i want to upgrade to the latest (i'm told that's 85.97.f1p - is that correct?). how do i go about doing this? i can't even find this software for download on motorola's site...

i have never flashed or modded a phone before, but i have some computer hardware/software experience and i don't mind a little hacking.

please could someone lay it out in simple steps? links to someplace i can get the firmware would be appreciated, too!

many thanks for your time.

Flash the 98.DOR MP then flash the 99.50R reflash...for some reason some have trouble with the 99.50R MP...This will give you the best combo out there right now....For any other questions try the V3x superthread... Here is a link to a great site for the firmware.....

thanks, guys. being new to all this (phone flashing/modding), would i be right in thinking that it seems relatively difficult to find these sw tools because they're not exactly officially, er, ..."supported"?

Same here. I'm a total newb when it comes to phone modding. I have an unlocked V3i with no iTunes. I'm looking into modding it. Would it be safe, or would it become a 200 USD brick? Also, what does upgrading/flashing the flexware/firmware do?

Information will be greatly appreciated.

Google and try sites with RU in it as the russians are very helpful and have no restrictions on them....
Modding is not difficult but look through the guides here and on motomodders as they will help you alot...
If you do a little studing it is pretty safe to mod and you will have a phone that will be the envy of others that have not modded....
