Unlock/Repair PDS using GOT_MOTO

Unlock/Repair PDS using GOT_MOTO without Testpoint

Update on 1 March 2007: We have found a new & free way to unlock or repair pds for V360/L7. GOT_MOTO will be obsolete.

It is reported that you can use a software GOT_MOTO to unlock or repair PDS without testpointing. It is really a good news, because testpoint is very troublesome. It can be used to unlock the SIM lock and remove the sticky firmwares, such as AER/E0R. Tested successfully on V360 and L7.

How to get GOT_MOTO:
Go to got_moto website (link removed, see update). Follow the instruction "!!!For getting FREE testing account you have to send an e-mail to (address removed, see update) to get your username and pass!!!" to get a 30-day-free testing account. After you get the account, go back to the same site to login.
UPDATE #1:
Unfortunately GOT_MOTO is no longer free. They will not issue free account any more. To make things worse, it is reported that they got our email addresses sold to spam ads, so be cautious! You may want to try Disassemble, testpoint & unlock/repair pds.
UPDATE #2:
It is reported that kapersky lab reported a rootkit in GOT_MOTO.exe. This virus will fill zero your hard disks and reinstall windows.

Warning:
Please backup your existing firmware or data before proceeding. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS.

WARNING: Caution should be given to SLVR L7 with 0A.20 bootloader or R4517 firmware. Failure on such phone was reported.

For example, a networking API is something your application can use to make network connections, without your ever having to understand the underlying code.

What is AMPS
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) is a first-generation analog, circuit-switched cellular phone network. Originally operating in the 800 MHz band, service was later expanded to include transmissions in the 1900 MHz band, the VHF range in which most wireless carriers operate. Because AMPS uses analog signals, it cannot transmit digital signals and cannot transport data packets without assistance from newer technologies such as TDMA and CDMA.

What is CDC
The Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is a specification for a J2ME configuration. Conceptually, CDC deals with devices with more memory and processing power than CLDC; it is for devices with an always-on network connection and a minimum of 2 MB of memory available for the Java system.

What is FDMA
Frequency-division multiple-access (FDMA) is a mechanism for sharing a radio frequency band among multiple users by dividing it into a number of smaller bands.

What is Foundation Profile
The Foundation Profile is a J2ME profile specification that builds on CDC. It adds additional classes and interfaces to the CDC APIs but does not go so far as to specify user interface APIs, persistent storage, or application life cycle. Other J2ME profiles build on the CDC/Foundation combination: for example, the Personal Profile and the RMI Profile both build on the Foundation Profile.

What is Generic Connection Framework
The Generic Connection Framework (GCF) makes it easy for wireless devices to make network connections. It is part of CLDC and CDC and resides in the javax.microedition.io package.

What is GPRS
The General Packet Radio System (GPRS) is the next generation of GSM. It will be the basis of 3G networks in Europe and elsewhere.

What is GSM
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a wireless network system that is widely used in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Today I accidentally came across this comment made by a guy in his own forum. It is in Portuguese. Can any of you translate it to English for me?

===== QUOTE ======
Bom, como os posts referentes a mp do yuet foram perdidos na conversão,
Breve explicação:

YUET é um conhecido do v360 pois começou praticamente na mesma época que eu e sempre teve boas MPS.

Porém pelo fato dele ser chinês, ultimamente sua Mp usa a FLASH AER (CHINESA) a qual:

Possui inumeras vantagens e desvantagens sobre a ABR e a ACR, porém a que devemos ressaltar sempre é:

Após envio da mesma para um celular que não venha AER de série, o mesmo fica travado a ela.
Não podendo voltar jamais, exceto com testpoint.

PORTANTO LEMBREM-SE DISSO ANTES DE ENVIAR QUALQUER MP Não encontrada no nosso site, e se tiver duvidas poste que teremos o prazer de testar.
===== UNQUOTE ======

I tried to translate it with babelfish. If I understand the translation correctly, it seems that he made a racist comment. He said because I am Chinese, I made the sticky AER MP. I can accept criticism, but not racism. It was me who had taught this guy to make his first V360 MP. I am particularly upset by the fact that this comment was made by him.

I also want to clarify that my purpose of making the AER MP is to help those who bricked their phones, which originally had AER firmware. So they can flash back to AER firmware to get a working phone. The AER MP is for AER phone only. I have made it very clear in this post. I have other MPs which are not on AER. YuetMod v1.8 is ABR, v2.0 is B7R and v3.0 is 0FR. None of them is sticky.

Transfer files from computer to phone

How to Transfer files from computer to motorola p2k cell phone

I saw this question was quite frequently asked in forums, so I think I should write this post. There are a few ways you can transfer files, such as MP3 or pictures, to your phone.

transfer to memory card
If you have a Trans-flash (TF) card in your phone, you can connect your phone as a removable drive, and copy the files to the folder in the card. Before you connect your phone via usb, you need to select "Memory card" in menu "Connection - USB setting".

transfer via bluetooth
If you have bluetooth in your phone and your computer, you can set up your phone as a bluetooth device in the computer, then use bluetooth to transfer files to your phone. Don't forget to power on the bluetooth on your phone. For Mac users, I have written the following guides.
Set up bluetooth phone on Mac, and
Make your phone a bluetooth hard disk

transfer via p2k software
To use P2K software, you have to first install p2k driver and the p2k software, such as P2KTools. After that, select "Data/Fax mode" in menu "Connection - USB setting", and connect your phone via USB. Your phone should be detected by p2k tools. P2KTools can browse the file system in your phone, and upload/download files to/from your computer.

WARNING: AER & E0R firmware

WARNING: sticky firmware AER & E0R

It is well known that the AER firmware (R4513_G_08.b7.AER) for V360/L7 is so-called sticky firmware. That is, you won't be able to flash to other different firmwares after you flashed to AER. A few modders have told me that E0R (R4513_G_08.b7.E0R) has the same "feature" as AER. I think I should issue this warning to all of you - Do NOT flash to AER or E0R firmware unless you have already had it on your phone. Also I suggest NOT to use the motorola firmware upgrade, because your phone may be upgraded to one of these two firmwares, or some new sticky firmware. I expect motorola will release more and more such firmwares to make it harder for modders.

iTunes with album art using MediaMonkey

iTunes with album art using MediaMonkey A tutorial by giany911

Thank giany911 for this tutorial. All credits to him.

Tutorial: Getting iTunes with album art on a v360

First of all, you need these things:
MediaMonkey or
MediaMonkey 2.5.5.980 this is a beta build
Motorola Beta Plugin so that your v360 will be recognized by MediaMonkey
And iTunes already installed on your phone (an iTunes that can rebuild the db by it self, such as YuetMod iTunes.)

Let's begin:
1. After installing MediaMonkey copy the downloaded beta plugin to C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Plugins ( Install Path of MediaMonkey\Plugins ) and overwrite the previous d_iPod.dll.


2. Getting album art to your songs.
Before you start to add album art to your songs copy them from your T-Flash on your HDD ( it's a lot faster to add album art when the .mp3s are on the HDD and not the T-Flash )

Now let's start MediaMonkey ( no need for the phone just now )
To add the songs you want to tag just do like this:
1. File - > Add / Rescan Tracks to the Library... - > And check only the folder ( audio ) which you have copied from the T-Flash first ( I mean the folder with the songs on the phone ) -> OK
You will be asked something related to other players I just unchecked them / it.

2. To add album art go to Title, pick a song and right click on it. Select Auto-Tag from Amazon ( easier Ctrl + L when the song is selected )
Wait for MediaMonkey to search and when it found something related to what you are looking for ( you may have to find the proper album, with cover art and the right song on it ) check the song and click Auto-Tag. In the next dialog box select Save image to tag ( if possible ) and check in the future, do not ask me and Ok, after it downloaded the cover you manually have to close the dialog box. Repeat this step until all of your songs have album art.


3. Move your songs, now with album art, back to the T-Flash.


4. Building the DB
4.1. Plug-in your phone in Memory Card Mode and look for Motorola ( drive letter ), do a right click on it and select Rebuild Device database. At this point when running iTunes from the phone any song you play will have the same album art.

4.2. Unplug your usb cable from the phone, and start iTunes and build the DB from the phone.

4.3. Plug-in your phone and repeat step 4. 1 ( Rebuild Device database from MediaMonkey )
4.4. Unplug and restart your phone and there it is: Album art!

After all this work ( looks hard it's actually not ) you will have album art in iTunes on your v360.

Sync iTunes songs with album art

A way to sync iTunes songs with album art

You may have heard about it, but in case you don't know. It is reported that we can sync songs and album art to iTunes on your motorola phone, using MediaMonkey and it's beta ipod plugin. Unfortunately it is not for Mac.

MediaMonkey is a free MP3 Jukebox player and music library organiser. You can get MediaMonkey from its site, and download the beta ipod plugin. Install MediaMonkey, and replace the original ipod dll in mediamonkey\plugins with this beta iPod plugin, then the program will see the Motorola phone.

Here is the support thread in MediaMonkey forum.

I have not tested it myself, so no detail steps here. Please try it. If you succeed, please tell us how you do it. Good Luck!

giany911 has kindly written a very nice tutorial. Click here to read it.

Change system sounds

How to change system sounds for YuetMod v2.x only

Only certain firmwares allow you to change system sounds. My YuetMod v2.0 MP is one of them.

First, you need to prepare the sound files. They must be Wave files and the format must be 8khz, 8 bits and mono. I found a freeware "WaveForm" (if I am not wrong) can convert sound files to this format. Search for it.

Second, you need to edit two SEEMs to enable customisable system sounds. Here is the SEEMs:
SEEM 0032_001 Offset 82 bit 6 - (set on)
SEEM 0032_001 Offset 6D bit 6 - (set on)

Lastly, upload your custom wav files to: /a/, then restart the phone.

Followings are the names & description of the sound files:

LBatChrg.wav ---> start battery charge
LEndList.wav ---> end battery charge or end of serie
LBatLow.wav ---> Advert low battery
LKeyMenu.wav ---> Accesing to "menu" via menu key
LKeySend.wav ---> send key or calling
LScroFst.wav ---> fast scrool
LKeyEnd.wav ---> end key
LError.wav ---> error sound
LScroll.wav ---> normal scroll
LKeyHold.wav ---> holding the menu key for a shortcut
LSoftKey.wav ---> joystick key sound
LCalTimr.wav ---> 1 min beep on a call
LDevDrop.wav ---> disconnecting device
LDevCnct.wav ---> connecting device
LCalDrop.wav ---> Error of network or wap
LConfim.wav ---> there is no confirm
LDelText.wav ---> delete text
LNegate.wav ---> ? (not sure)

I am going to make a sound pack for YuetMod v2.1. :-)

Apple iPhone comming soon!?

Apple iPhone

I would like to be the first to get an Apple iPhone when it is available. An iPod cell phone is that kind of device I would die for.

The iPhone is announced. Will be available in US in June, Europe in 4Q this year and Asia next year. Running Mac os x. It is simply awesome! I don't want to mod it. Why mod it?

It seems that the only not-so-good thing is its lack of support on Java, as I can't find any info about java/j2me/midp suppot in the spec of iPhone. It is a bad thing for me as I like to develop J2ME programs.

YuetMod v4.0 for R4513 AER

YuetMod v4.0 MonsterPack for V360/L7 with R4513_AER firmware and 08.D0/08.A0/09.02 bootloader

This is a special version of YuetMod v1.8 compiled for V360/L7 with R4513_AER. I name it v4.0 just to distinguish it from v1.8.

Flash to it ONLY if your phone is with AER, you will not be able to flash to other firmwares after you flash this AER MP. If your phone is not AER, you should flash to the YuetMod v1.8.

It has everything from YuetMod v1.8 except those java apps, including iTunes, that require special permissions, will not work with AER. Just delete them.

For details of YuetMod v1.8, read [this post]

This MP will NOT lock your phone to any network. You can flash it no matter your phone is locked or unlocked, but it won't unlock your locked phone.

By downloading this MP file or re-posting any part of this article, you agree to the followings:
1. I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, so use it at your own risk.
2. You do not use this MonsterPack to get profit.
3. You do not provide direct download of the files. Instead, you must link to this webpage for downloading files.

Download the 2 rar files, put them in the same folder, then decompress the first one. The unrar program will combine the 2 parts and produce the SHX flash file.

For V360/L7 (R4513_AER) Download: 2 rar files
part 1 of rar: [filecloud] [mofile] [4shared]
part 2 of rar: [filecloud] [mofile] [4shared]

UPDATE: This MP was tested successfully on L7, by inoxious, using RSDLite 3.0; and it was also tested successfully on V360, by Ryan, using RSDLite 2.5. Thank inoxious & Ryan!

L7 Users, please read
For L7 users, you may want to fallback to the original key mapping. You can write this 005B-0001 seem file into your phone to get back the original key mapping. (This seem file works for V360 as well.)

Disassemble, testpoint & unlock V360/L7

Disassemble, testpoint & repair PDS/unlock V360/L7

Some visitors asked how to disassemble, testpoint & unlock V360/L7, and some of you gave useful information on this topic. Here I consolidate all the info in the post. This method can be used to unlock, repair pds and get rid of sticky firmware like AER. (Hints: Probably we can use this method to update the pds, so as to make iTunes work with desktop iTunes to copy songs.)

Disassemble & testpoint

Download & Watch this 3gp video "disassemble V360" to see how V360 can be disassembled.

Also look at the pictures provided by Steve Hunter.
A. battery removed;
B. speaker cover removed;
C. plastic cover removed;
D/E. testpoint exposed in the hole of the metal shield;
F. LCD disconnected;
G. hole of the shield is covered;
H. unlocked phone with YuetMod MP;
I/J. Tools used.

Basically you will do the following steps:
1. remove battery cover.
2. remove battery.
3. unbuckle and remove the speaker cover.
4. unscrew the four screws, using a Torx screwdriver. (size T6)
5. unbuckle and remove the plastic cover.
6. disconnect the LCD from the main board.
7. take out the main board

Watch this video "Testpoint L7" at YouTube to see how the guy disassemble and testpoint L7.

(Disclaimer: Doing the following steps might void your warranty or damage your phone. I, Yuet, shall not be responsible for any damage to your phone by following the steps, so do it at your own risk.)

The testpoint is covered by the metal shield. You have to cut off part of the shield to uncover the testpoint. If you have the tools used by the guy in the "testpoint L7" video, follow him to remove part of the shield. If not, you can use a heavy-duty pliers to carefully cut off part of the shield, which was what I did to my V360 before.

Refer to this picture to find testpoint of V360. Testpointing V360/L7 will bypass the bootloader and get the phone detected as blank neptune.


There are 2 versions of Testpoint for L7, as two differnt boards are used for L7. You have to determine which version is for your phone.


Again you can follow the method used in the "testpoint L7" video to testpoint your phone. If you don't have those tools, you will need a paper clip and a friend to do the testpoint. The following steps are what I have tried:
1. connect the main board to computer using usb cable.
2. use the paper clip to connect the testpoint and the metal shield with one hand.
3. connect the battery to the board with another hand. You will have to keep the battery connected through the whole process.
4. start the software, i.e. p2k easy tool, using your friend's hands. (A good way to verify if testpoint correctly is to open RSDLite. It should be detected as "S Blank Neptune".)
5. disconnect testpoint and use the software to repair PDS or unlock the phone.

screenshot of p2k easy tool

Unlock or repair PDS
It is reported "p2k easy tools v3.9 cracked" can unlock V360/L7 or repair PDS. As it can repair PDS, theoratically it can be used to get rid of the sticky AER or E0R firmware. Search the internet to find the software please. I haven't tested this software, so you will have to try it at your own risk. Good luck! and if you succeed, let me know please.
WARNING: Caution should be given to SLVR L7 with 0A.20 bootloader or R4517 firmware, and V360 with 09.02 bootloader. Failure on such phones was reported.

UPDATE: This method has been tested successfully by Steve Hunter to unlock his V360v.
2nd UPDATE: Edgard has successfully removed AER from his V360, by doing testpoint plus full pds repair then flash to 56R.
3rd UPDATE: Enrique has removed AER from his L7 using this method. (flash to DAR/DCR after testpoint & repair pds.)
Conclusion: This method WORKS!

Skin edit trick - preview screen

Skin edit trick Customize phonebook/picture preview screen

First thank Patuno for telling me this idea. I found that we can edit the skin .SKI file to customize the preview screen of phonebook entries and pictures. We can customize the number of entries shown in one screen and the coordinates of the picture and text of each entry. Please note that this trick actually affects both phonebook and picture.

Tools you need:
TextWrangler for Mac or UltraEdit for PC (or Skinner4moto)

Steps

1. download the .ski file (i.e. moto.ski) from your phone to your computer.

2. make a backup of the file, then open it using the text editor (TextWrangler or UltraEdit).

3. in the ski file, look for the 4 blocks of text similar to the followings.
0 14 3
1 0 39 168 90
1 0 92 168 143
1 0 145 168 196
0 15 3
1 2 41 49 88
1 2 94 49 141
1 2 147 49 194
...

0 20 3
1 52 46 167 64
1 52 99 167 117
1 52 151 167 169
0 21 3
1 52 66 167 84
1 52 119 167 137
1 52 171 167 189

explanation
- you can see there are 4 blocks of text. each one consists of one header row and three detail rows.
- The second column of the header row (i.e. 14, 15, 20 and 21) are the IDs of the items, so you must not change them. The 3rd column defines the number of entries to be shown in the preview screen. The number of detail rows must match with this number. each detail row defines the coordinates of each preview entry.
- The 2nd to 5th columns of detail rows define the coordinate of each item. 2nd & 3rd define the top-left corner of the rectangle, while 4th & 5th define the bottom-right corner.
- ID (0 14) defines the coordinates of the background of highlighted item
- ID (0 15) defines the coordinates of the picture thumbnail of each item
- ID (0 20) defines the coordinates of the phonebook name or picture filename of each item
- ID (0 21) defines the coordinates of the phonebook number or picture date/time of each item

4. you can adjust the number of items and their coordinates to whatever you want. The following setting is just for your reference. These settings are used in the skins of my YuetMod MPs. Try it to see the difference. You may need to adjust them to fit your skin.

example 1: show full screen preview of one entry
0 14 1
1 0 178 170 196
0 15 1
1 0 0 176 220
...
0 20 1
1 4 178 90 196
0 21 1
1 92 178 168 196

example 2: show 2 entries
0 14 2
1 91 56 170 104
1 91 130 170 178
0 15 2
1 1 46 90 114
1 1 120 90 188
...
0 20 2
1 92 56 170 79
1 92 130 170 153
0 21 2
1 92 79 170 102
1 92 153 170 176

5. after you made the changes, save the ski file and upload it back to your phone. It is done!

PS: You can actually do this with skinner4moto, if you prefer graphic interface. Here is a screen of skinner4moto. Open the skin in skinner4moto and select "Structure", you will see the item IDs (14, 15, 20 & 21). Basically you will need to do is add/delete elements in these 4 items, and then adjust the coordinates of each element.
