2. download the curitel USB drivers from the forums on groups.yahoo.com Group 1 8900 Group 2 8940
Once in the group go to the files section. Scroll down and you will find the drivers there.
Loading the drivers is a slightly long process. When it asks for the driver location point back to the files you downloaded. It will keep asking you if you want to install them. It looks like you are installing the same drivers over and over again but I think there are just many various parts to the drivers. Just keep saying yes and installing them until it finishes up.
3. plug in the phone
4. when it asks for the driver point it to the extacted drivers from the curitel zip file.
5. download QPST software from one of these links: 1234
6. install it (i didnt need to reboot but you probably will)
7. find the COM port the phone is installed on. you can do this with 'device manager' in the 'System' control panel. look under modems. right click and get properties. click advanced > advanced port settings to find the COM port.
8. Go to QPST configuration tool (that you just installed)
9. add the COM port for the phone (you found this in step 8) to the configuration. If you couldn't find it in step 8 just start putting in all the COM ports you have.
10. your phone should show up
11. click 'EFS explorer' under 'start clients' menu option
12. select your phone
Transfering Pictures from Phone to Computer
1. browse to 'brew > shared > jpeg'
2. right click files and click 'Copy from phone' to download
2. they look like crap but then this is what people seem to want so here it is.
Transfering Ringtones from your Computer to Phone
1. go to 'user > sound > ringtone'
2. Add your ringtone to the ringtone folder(it can even be a .mp3)
3. Re-boot phone
4. ::important!:: Go to Get It Now. Then go to buying ringtones. Keep going until you get to the step where you buy the ringtone (where it shows you the prices), stop and the exit Get It Now. ringtone will now appear in the tones folder.
Transfering Wallpapers from your Computer to Phone
1. go to 'brew > shared > wallpapers'
2. Add wallpaper (size that worked for me was 179 x 205)
3. Re-boot phone
4. ::important:: Go to Get It Now. go to "get pix" and go all the way thro like you're going to buy a wallpaper (stop where it lists the prices) and then exit. Your wallpapers will show up in your images download folder
If you have any problems downloading the drivers and software then just PM me your e-mail address and I will be glad to e-mail them to you. But please try the links first, I know they all are working fine.

sorry this is just for the QPST software. you should try posting your own thread.
I placed an mp3 into the rintones folder and I can see it on the phone after following the tutorial. The problem is that I get an error saying "Error! Can't assign this item.". There is also a red X on on the envelope icon in front of the mp3 name. Any suggestions??
