I've tried on 2 Win2K Pro systems to install the drivers, but I keep getting a broken P2K driver that's listed as 'USB Composite Device' instead of the P2K driver. This happens the first time I start P2K Tools (the downloads here, 2.9 drivers and 0.8.6 Tools).
Somewhere on the 'net I found a page where a guy showed the Registry hacks to fix this manually. Any idea where it was? I'd REALLY like to get this crappy AER firmware off of my V360, but I want to make sure all the tools work first, so I don't flat-line my phone.
Thanks a bunch for your blog! I hadn't found such a well-written list of instructions on ANY other modding site for these phones.

StanJ, what exactly do you mean by getting a broken p2k driver? Please note that you have to install 6/7 drivers, including the usb composite device.
I am not sure about the registry hack. Please first check that you have windows xp service pack 2 installed. if not, install it. then try to uninstall the driver and install again.
BTW, can the P2K tools detect your phone already? Do u have RSDLite? Can RSDLite detect your phone?
I finally found a fix. All of these P2K driver files I'd found on the modding sites (including yours) are for WinXP only. If you download the current driver file direct from Motorola http://tinyurl.com/24769k
then it works with Win2K as well as WinXP. I had to manually delete all of the INFs that referenced the screwey XP 'composite device' that's not appropriate for Win2K. The equivalent for Win2K is 'usbhub'...
I can finally see the phone in RSD Lite 3.0, and P2K Tools may work now as well. No more yellow I flags next to the devices in the Device Manager :-)
(fingers crossed - I'm about to back up the firmware then overwrite the AER firmware with something better using the testpoint method...)

Hi, Yuet!
I'm trying to get P2K drivers for Windows Vista x64 (but I also think that XP's x64 ou Server x64 are gonna work).
Can you help me with this?
Thank you!
Greetings from Brazil!
bruno, I don't have such driver, maybe you can find it in motodev site.
No. Motodev do not have :(
bruno, over here --> motorola usb driver.
Thank you so much, Yu!!!
My mistake.
Namastê!
Sir: I downloaded both files and the P2KTOOLS doen't start a program after unzipping the file. Also, after opening the zip file for mot 2.9 I can't see them as the files you mentioned. I can't see the phone when it's connected. What am I doing Wrong
diego, then try to get the usb driver pack from motodev. P2ktools should start when you double-click it. I am not sure what went wrong.
Yuet I was just curios exacly wat is p2ktools for wat do you use it, and the drivers wats that for?? Maybe to recognize the phone?? And just one last question do you know of drivers for Linux cause I've looked on the site and didn't find a thing so ja. Anyway keep up the good work
GrepingGrok
GrepGrok, p2ktools is for accessing the p2k file system (phone memory) and the drivers, of course, is for recognize the p2k system in the phone. You can use moto4lin and the usb driver for Linux. Read this post and the moto4lin site.
Thanks a mil I think I'll be referring to this site quite alot in the future, great content (-:
GrepingGrok
Yuet, this site is incredibly helpful! will any of your MPs/DRMs/Skins work with the L7 f/w R4517 - .25R ? any plans to do so in the future?
also, i've gotten Moto4Lin to work, but is there any way to flash a phone on OSX?
dionigi, I believe MPs/DRMs are for R4513 only. Maybe skins can be used in R417. No plan to port to R4517, as I don't have such a phone. Read this post about flashing on OSX.
I have a Motorola V360v and I have downloaded every program I could think of to add skins to my phone and maybe flash it as well. But none of these programs are able to detect my phone, other than Motorola Phone Tools of course but that is totally useless to me. Can you please help me.
chrisv, have you tried the steps in this post? and have you tried to download the driver utility from motodev?
Hi yuet, I have the v360, and recently flashed it with your flashfile. I wanted to do some seem editing with p2ktools, but can't get the program to see my phone. I downloaded all the drivers you recommended, installed everything, but without any success. What tickles me thou, is that everytime my pc detected the new usb device, it only see the motorola usb modem, and installs that, but not all the other devices you mentioned, like the composite device etc. Why is that? I also tried other usb ports, but also without any success. I also tried to use p2kseem, but that also didn't work. Pls guide me?
jacqvt, try to get the driver utility from motodev, then install it.
Thanks yuet for the reply, But if your talking about the driver version 2.6.2.0, I already have it, and tried it. I just want to make sure about something too, if I understand right, The phone must be switched on in normal mode, not the * and # one. And must I have motorola phone tools installed for it to function?
jacqvt, you do it in normal mode. the MPT is not necessary. BTW, what version of p2ktool r u using?
I'm using p2ktools version 0.7.1.9. Something else I dont know if its correct, is p2ktools dont really install on the pc. When I click on the p2ktools icon, it opens the program. There's no installation. Is this correct? Where else can I donload this program? I downloaded it from motomodders.
that version is too old, get the version in this post and try again.
Okay thanks, I just got the version 3. Hope that work, I'll post here to say.
I mean the P2Ktool version is old, you should at least get 0.8 version.
I followed all the steps for p2k driver installation and didn't work, I tried with the drivers in motodev and motorola phone tools and rsdlite and finally there is a connection (they recognize my phone)but the p2k tools doesn't.
I open p2k tools, plug my phone and in the bottom of the screen of p2k tools shows disconect.
please, help me what do I need to do.
have you tried to manually switch p2ktools to P2K mode?
yes, i switched to p2k mode and was the same "the status shows disconected".
when i installed the rsdlite 3.2 and 3.3 also some files couldn't install because showed that i had an old service pack but the rsdlite works ok. do you think i need service pack 2 for example?
yes, I think SP2 is essential. install it then try again.
I have Moto L6i and i have installed the software but i am unable to transfer the data, although it get chraging thru USB cable.
I need to transfer data PC to mobile.
Regards
Manoj
manoj, what problem is it? can u give more details? do u set usb setting to data/fax mode? does p2k tool show "connected"? do u switch it to p2k mode? USB charging has nothing to do with the driver.
hey there Yuet.
I've got a L7 and when I try to install the drivers, USB Composite Device installs but then shows "Device Cannot Start. Code 10". None of the psk programs or MotoMidMan recognise my phone. any help?
thanks
please download the driver tool from motorola, use it to uninstall the driver then reinstall.
Have tried to install p2k drivers on xp with no success. I do not get the same "Found New hardware Wizard" as yours. Mine says "Cannot Install This Hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware: USB Modem.
An Error occurred during the installation of the device. Fatal error during installation.
I have tried different ports, moto installer to clean and repair and your install guide. Nothing seems to work. My phone is recognized on my Mac with Moto4lin, but I have not tried to flash as I am trying to remove this AER firmware. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cat
Cat, is your XP on SP2?
ok, this program works really good, while i was using this program i hit some buttons, and well i cant get my phone (v197) ti vibrate, and some other things, is there any way to set it to default where it changes it back to normal, or what can i do to get it back.?.?
Hi Yuet,
I have a motorazr mobile which was brought from USA. Could you provide the steps\procedure to unlock the mobile and use it in INDIA?
please come to my forum www.inbrite.com to discuss the unlocking method.
If it weren't for this guide, I'd be paying out the ass to get ringtones and the like. Thank you.
How do I switch to Data/Fax mode? I dont see the option anywhere..
Your website has been of tremendous help to access the files on my V400!Thanks!
However, I cannot access the voice recordings on my phone. Any suggestions?
Hi Yuet! Was just wondering if i can use P2K Tools to transfer sms messages from my v360 to the computer so that they can be viewed on the computer (i.e. not as a single backup file). And is there any possible way to transfer sms messages stored on the phone of the v360 to another phone?
hye yuet.. i hope u will read my 'letter' 4 u.. i've already instal all the drivers evern from you (i can't open it bcoz it must open with selected prgram -which i don't understand what that mean) AND usb drivers motodev while i install it.. it appears "the cabinet file eror bla bla'- which i already uninstall n reinstal it... i don't know what to do now.. i spend about 6 hours 2 install all the drives but it's all doesn't works out :(

Hi Yuet, this is the first time I leave a message on your blog, even though I have used it countless times. All I want to say is thank you for the amazing service you provide here, with nothing except gratitude in return (and sometimes not even that :blushes:) lol. I haven't had a single problem with my Moto V360 that I couldn't solve thanks to your blog. The latest one being XP x64 drivers for it. Thanks for this great resource!
