Originally posted by jfgoqiru As I understand it, the V7 Flasher is the same as the Audiovox 8910 right? Anyway, is there any secure way to send ringtones/games to this phone?

I'm wondering if any brave people have found a foolproof way to not screw up this phone. Also, what tools would I need to do this?
A data cable
Software
that's all I can see that I need, right? Links would be appreciated--thanks a lot for your time, guys.
it's alright to tweak the phone just as long as you don't try to add on characters to the rms.db file, just overwrite the existing name for the ringtone, otherwise if you ADD characters, you will end up frying the phone, otherwise there's no problem when modifying it. All you really need are the Cable, Drivers, and Software (Hex Editor, BitPim, etc.).
This is a recent phone history regarding the Audiovox Phones:
8900: Metro PCS, Telus Mobility, US Cellular, Verizon Wireless, Western Wireless, Cricket, etc.
8920: Sprint PCS
8610: Virgin Mobile
8615: Bell Mobility
8910: Bell Mobility, NTelos, Virgin Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Aliant, Alltell, Sprint (8912), etc.
In Regards to the Virgin Mobile 8910, i believe they completely disabled the feature to access the Proxy (IP) Addresses, i've already tried numerous codes that might relate to IP Addresses, Proxies, Etc. and have come up negative.
Say SliderDude, Were you able to successfuly tweak your Virgin Mobile 8910, and if so, how far did you go to modify it?

Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to keep the flash turned on, Though what i believe they SHOULD have done in the Diagnostics menu (##1122 End) was to have a feature that could test the flash AS well as the camera.

Ok, last night my phone started to vibrate(note, it's set to ring and not vibrate) It had my mother's phone number on each angle of the caller id like on the left side 555 on the bottom 555 on the side 5555..........................so i went to answer the call and her number was now on the mainscreen with a bunch of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......not like the missed cal with the pic of the phone, but her number and a bunch of zzzzzzzzzzz...............then when i hit the end key to get out of it, it had a picture of flames and a skull........................Then when i hit the end key out of the it said
Please hold................Refreshing user settings......5.........4..........3........2..... ....1...........then it powered off and back on and then the caller id was all black..........so i powered it off and then back on and everything was fine.........
Then i went into Get it Now and previewed a ringtone and all of the sudden the phone just dies..........had 2 bars of battery, but just dies........i try to power it on.......nothing happens..........then i charge it, once again then refreshing user settings screen comes on, then phone powers off, and then back on again...............
THis is really ****ed up...........does anyone know why this thing is doing this?

Sounds like your phone had a well hidden defect...most likely it came out when exposed to your mom's number. Take it back to the store and they'll either set it to rights or replace it.

That, alas, may be exactly what's happened. It sounds like your phone had a fairly catastrophic failure of some kind...the sudden, total loss of function
plus the weird things it was doing suggest just that.
skulls and flames? that doesnt seem like something thatd be programmed into the phone, sounds like it got hacked into.... ive gotten some "user data being restored" message before, i dont know what causes it though.
ALL YOU GUYS SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS "BIT.PIM"
wILL IT HELP WITH THESE ISSUES?
1. FLIPS have white LCD, blank, caller ID screen/1/2 off the screen.
THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, AT’s have been forever trying to build new parts, and make a good flip. Going from one software to another (Different markets) is the culprit. We are working with programming to determine which are compatible.
For the 8900, There are two types of LCD and therefore you need two types of software. One is casio and the other LCD is AU.
You would need to match the software with the LCD. The way you will know the difference is by looking at a number 2 and 3 that I have highlighted below so you can note the difference.
T095MP3T25_0.194
T095MP2T25_0.194
I know 157/NTLELOS can be flashed into 245/metroPCS.
I’m not sure about Cellular One, or W.W. or Verizon.
Where are all the Level 3 techs out there??
What are you doing to correct these issues?
I DID get an 8900 with the BREW glitch (won’t delete apps/insert download cable.etc.)
I did a normal flash, without EFS erase. It went all the way through and there were no Apps. After SW download!!!! Even though it kept the call logs.
if you know how to recover the ones with white LCD/caller id cut ˝.
Happy Troubleshooting.

My 8900 does do the blank white screen thing, bit it shows a 1/2 screen on the main wallpaper screen as well. Usually I will close the phone when it gives me the blank screen, when I reopen the phone, (sometimes has to be repeated several times). When the screen is no longer blank, everything from the ERI banner up is on the bottom of the screen. It quickly corrects its self when I press the menu button and then end to return to the main wallpaper screen.
ANyone with anyhelp, I have tons more info. Maybe we can chat about other problems. fixes.

My phone has been hacked into before.....One day when i turned it on all the settings were changed. Called up verizon"sorry, we can't help you"
i guesss it's a target
Bell's 8910's have no problems what so ever (well none reported) except for camera freezing (but thats probably cuz of overloaded pictures :P 60+ pics)
Well, i reset the phone (##1133) and now it's back to normal. I'm sooooo happy that i don't have to shell out 200 bucks to get an 8000! I ordered a new antenna, and tomorow i'm going to the mall to get a new faceplate.....I also plan to get a firmware upgrade at the verizon store
