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.

Steps to unlock SIM lock:
1. Connect your phone to computer via USB, and start GOT_MOTO.
2. Select your phone model and firmware version;
3. Tick "Easy Skip TP" checkbox, click "Unlock" tab, press "Unlock Network" then follow instructions.

Steps to repair PDS and get rid of sticky firmware:
1. Connect your phone to computer via USB, and start GOT_MOTO.
2. Click "Repair" tab, then "Set Blank Mode", then "Repair PDS" and "Remove Blank Mode";
3. Flash to a full-flash MonsterPack of your choice;

part 3
part 1 - part 2 - part 3

What is RMI
Remote method invocation (RMI) is a feature of J2SE that enables Java objects running in one virtual machine to invoke methods of Java objects running in another virtual machine, seamlessly.

What is RMI OP
The RMI Optional Package (RMI OP) is a subset of J2SE 1.3's RMI functionality used in CDC-based profiles that incorporate the Foundation Profile, such as the Personal Basis Profile and the Personal Profile. The RMIOP cannot be used with CLDC-based profiles because they lack object serialization and other important features found only in CDC-based profiles. RMIOP supports most of the J2SE RMI functionality, including the Java Remote Method Protocol, marshalled objects, distributed garbage collection, registry-based object lookup, and network class loading, but not HTTP tunneling or the Java 1.1 stub protocol.

What is RMI Profile
The RMI Profile is a J2ME profile specification designed to support Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) distributed object system. Devices implementing the RMI Profile will be able to interoperate via RMI with other Java devices, including Java 2, Standard Edition. The RMI Profile is based on the Foundation Profile, which in turn is based on CDC.

What is RMS
The Record Management System (RMS) is a simple record-oriented database that allows a MIDlet to persistently store information and retrieve it later. Different MIDlets can also use the RMS to share data.

What is SDK
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of tools used to develop applications for a particular platform. An SDK typically contains a compiler, linker, and debugger. It may also contain libraries and documentation for APIs.

What is SIM
A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is a stripped-down smart card containing information about the identity of a cell-phone subscriber, and subscriber authentication and service information. Because the SIM uniquely identifies the subscriber and is portable among handsets, the user can move it from one kind of phone to another, facilitating international roaming.

What is SMS
Short Message Service (SMS) is a point-to-point service similar to paging for sending text messages of up to 160 characters to mobile phones.

What is SOAP
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is an XML- based protocol that allows objects of any type to communicated in a distributed environment. SOAP is used in developing Web Services.

What is SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a socket protocol that encrypts data sent over the network and provides authentication for the socket endpoints.

What is T9
T9 is a text input method for mobile phones and other small devices. It replaces the "multi-tap" input method by guessing the word that you are trying to enter. T9 may be embedded in a device by the manufacturer. Note that even if the device supports T9, the Java implementation may or may not use it. Check your documentation for details.

What is TDMA
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a second-generation modulation standard using bandwidth allocated in the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1900MHz ranges.

What is Telematics

The Wireless Application Environment (WAE) provides a application framework for small devices. WAE leverages other technologies such as WAP, WTP, and WSP.

What is WAP
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a protocol for transmitting data between servers and clients (usually small wireless devices like mobile phones). WAP is analogous to HTTP in the World Wide Web. Many mobile phones include WAP browser software to allow users access to Internet WAP sites.

What is WAP Gateway
A WAP Gateway acts as a bridge allowing WAP devices to communicate with other networks (namely the Internet).

What is W-CDMA
Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), also known as IMT-2000, is a 3rd generation wireless technology. Supports speeds up to 384Kbps on a wide-area network, or 2Mbps locally.

What is WDP
Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) works as the transport layer of WAP. WDP processes datagrams from upper layers to formats required by different physical datapaths, bearers, that may be for example GSM SMS or CDMA Packet Data. WDP is adapted to the bearers available in the device so upper layers don't need to care about the physical level.

What is WMA
The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) is a set of classes for sending and receiving Short Message Service messages. See also SMS.

What is WML
The Wireless Markup Language (WML) is a simple language used to create applications for small wireless devices like mobile phones. WML is analogous to HTML in the World Wide Web.

What is WMLScript
WMLScript is a subset of the JavaScript scripting language designed as part of the WAP standard to provide a convenient mechanism to access mobile phone's peripheral functions.

What is WSP
Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) implements session services of WAP. Sessions can be connection-oriented and connectionless and they may be suspended and resumed at will.

What is WTLS
Wireless Transport Layer Security protocal (WTLS) does all cryptography oriented features of WAP. WTLS handles encryption/decryption, user authentication and data integrity. WTLS is based on the fixed network Transport Layer Security protocal (TLS), formerly known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

What is WTP
Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP) is WAP's transaction protocol that works between the session protocol WSP and security protocol WTLS. WTP chops data packets into lower level datagrams and concatenates received datagrams into useful data. WTP also keeps track of received and sent packets and does re-transmissions and acknowledgment sending when needed.

kSOAP is a SOAP API suitable for the J2ME, based on kXML.

What is kXML
The kXML project provides a small footprint XML parser that can be used with J2ME.

What is KVM
The KVM is a compact Java virtual machine (JVM) that is designed for small devices. It supports a subset of the features of the JVM. For example, the KVM does not support floating-point operations and object finalization. The CLDC specifies use of the KVM. According to folklore, the 'K' in KVM stands for kilobyte, signifying that the KVM runs in kilobytes of memory as opposed to megabytes.

What is Modulation
Modulation is the method by which a high-frequency digital signal is grafted onto a lower-frequency analog wave, so that digital packets are able to ride piggyback on the analog airwave.

What is MSC
A Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is a unit within a cellular phone network that automatically coordinates and switches calls in a given cell. It monitors each caller's signal strength, and when a signal begins to fade, it hands off the call to another MSC that's better positioned to manage the call.

What is Obfuscation
Obfuscation is a technique used to complicate code. Obfuscation makes code harder to understand when it is de-compiled, but it typically has no affect on the functionality of the code. Obfuscation programs can be used to protect Java programs by making them harder to reverse-engineer.

What is optional package
An optional package is a set of J2ME APIs providing services in a specific area, such as database access or multimedia. Unlike a profile, it does not define a complete application environment, but rather is used in conjunction with a configuration or a profile. It extends the runtime environment to support device capabilities that are not universal enough to be defined as part of a profile or that need to be shared by different profiles. J2ME RMI and the Mobile Media RMI are examples of optional packages.

What is OTA
Over The Air (OTA) refers to any wireless networking technology.

What is PCS
Personal Communications Service (PCS) is a suite of second-generation, digitally modulated mobile-communications interfaces that includes TDMA, CDMA, and GSM. PCS serves as an umbrella term for second-generation wireless technologies operating in the 1900MHz range

What is PDAP

What is preverification
Due to memory and processing power available on a device, the verification process of classes are split into two processes. The first process is the preverification which is off-device and done using the preverify tool. The second process is verification which is done on-device.

What is profile
A profile is a set of APIs added to a configuration to support specific uses of a mobile device. Along with its underlying configuration, a profile defines a complete, and usually self-contained, general-purpose application environment. Profiles often, but not always, define APIs for user interface and persistence; the MIDP profile, based on the CLDC configuration, fits this pattern. Profiles may be supersets or subsets of other profiles; the Personal Basis Profile is a subset of the Personal Profile and a superset of the Foundation Profile. See also configuration, optional package.

What is API
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of classes that you can use in your own application. Sometimes called libraries or modules, APIs enable you to write an application without reinventing common pieces of code. 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 CDMA
Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a cellular technology widely used in North America. There are currently three CDMA standards: CDMA One, CDMA2000 and W-CDMA. CDMA technology uses UHF 800Mhz-1.9Ghz frequencies and bandwidth ranges from 115Kbs to 2Mbps.

What is cHTML
Compact HTML (cHTML) is a subset of HTML which is designed for small devices. The major features of HTML that are excluded from cHTML are: JPEG image, Table, Image map, Multiple character fonts and styles, Background color and image, Frame and Style sheet.

What is CLDC
The Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is a specification for a J2ME configuration. The CLDC is for devices with less than 512 KB or RAM available for the Java system and an intermittent (limited) network connection. It specifies a stripped-down Java virtual machine1 called the KVM as well as several APIs for fundamental application services. Three packages are minimalist versions of the J2SE java.lang, java.io, and java.util packages. A fourth package, javax.microedition.io, implements the Generic Connection Framework, a generalized API for making network connections.

What is configuration
In J2ME, a configuration defines the minimum Java runtime environment for a family of devices: the combination of a Java virtual machine (either the standard J2SE virtual machine or a much more limited version called the CLDC VM) and a core set of APIs. CDC and CLDC are configurations. See also profile, optional package.

What is CVM
The Compact Virtual Machine (CVM) is an optimized Java virtual machine1 (JVM) that is used by the CDC.

What is Deck
A deck is a collection of one or more WML cards that can be downloaded, to a mobile phone, as a single entity.

What is EDGE
Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE) is a new, faster version of GSM. EDGE is designed to support transfer rates up to 384Kbps and enable the delivery of video and other high-bandwidth applications. EDGE is the result of a joint effort between TDMA operators, vendors and carriers and the GSM Alliance.

What is ETSI
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is a non-profit organization that establishes telecommunications standards for Europe.

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. GSM is used at three different frequencies: GSM900 and GSM1800 are used in Europe, Asia, and Australia, while GSM1900 is deployed in North America and other parts of the world.

What is HLR
The Home Location Register (HLR) is a database for permanent storage of subscriber data and service profiles.

What is HTTPS
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure sockets (HTTPS) is a protocol for transmission of encrypted hypertext over Secure Sockets Layer.

What is i-appli
Sometimes called "Java for i-mode", i-appli is a Java environment based on CLDC. It is used on handsets in NTT DoCoMo's i-mode service. While i-appli is similar to MIDP, it was developed before the MIDP specification was finished and the two APIs are incompatible.

What is IDE

What is he talking about?

What is he talking about?
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.
