Motorola V220 USB Data Cabel Software

For v220 users:

sup yall, i just got the moto v220 and i was having trouble getting it connected to my pc..after screwin around i finally got it to work...now it works great and i can all sorts of sh!t ( tranfer pics from phone 2 pc, transfer ring tones to the phone..blah blah blah). i gots win xp pro (and i dont got SP1 or SP2).
i dont know if that matters..

what u need - usb cable, winRAR (used for managing .rar files)

here's what i did:

1. go to this site http://coma.fsb.hr/motorola/files/ and download the "Motorola.Mobile.PhoneTools.v3.11h.Final.Retail.rar" File.

2. after u dl it run the SETUP.exe..winRAR may give u sum diagnotic errors sayin some Sh!t(just close the window)...also during setup u will get some sort of error windows...just click ignore.

3. after setup is complete launch MPT (don't connect your phone to pc yet!)

4. choose the how u want to connect ur phone to PC( select USB)...click NEXT or OK or whatever the hell it says to go on to the next step.

4. make sure ur phone is on and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable. it should detect your phone ...a found new hardware window may pop up.

5. Now...u shood see a model of the V220 skin and it will say it is initializing...wait a bit and be patient.

6. if everything works well and it is initialized it should work..if not..i dont know what to tell ya =(

Note* if it does work 4 u, make sure that the next time u wanna connect your phone 2 the computer that u plug it into the same USB port everytime or windows will keep detecting it as new hardware...
for next time ..clik on the mobile Phone tools icon >choose a profile >connect phone 2 pc > clik OK..

also when ur phone is connected 2 ur pc..make sure its flipped open...i dont know if this makes a difference but thats what i did ..

this worked w/ my v220 but im not sure bout other models.

using MP3s as ring tones:

- in mutimedia center goto melody studio
- clik my melodies tab and select the mp3 u want
- select/highlight the portion of the mp3 that u want 2 use as your ringtone...a good length is 10 - 12 seconds. (if your havin trouble, refer to the help menu on how 2 do this)
- clik "save selection as" at the top tool bar.
- name it and save it in mp3 format. (the mp3 is compressed so it wont be such a large file)
- **ok...now...instead of tranferring the file to ur phone in Melody studio, go to Mobile Explorer..
-clik da "My Music" tab on both My Computer and Mobile Phone window menus
- find the file u saved and click the "copy to mobile phone icon"..it should transfer the mp3 to ur phone.

Note: *on makin more ringtones:
for some odd reason it wont save properly if u try to save another mp3 ringtone in the same folder as a previously created ringtone...to avoid this just simply save it in another folder or juss make sure that there are no other previously created mp3 ringtones in the folder u are savin it in..

This sh!t worked 4 me...

* the v220 only has bout 1.5MB of space

 

Thanks for the info, but how do i transfer pic from phone 2 pc?

 

I transferred my pics using the Multimedia Center part of the Phone Tools. I also used that part of the app to transfer the midi files to my phone to use as ring tones. There should be a folder for pics and one for audio.

 

Just to let you guys know with a ASUS mobo and antec case, the front USB ports do not seem to work well with this device. I get an "USB device malfunctioned" if you plug into the front usb ports, but zero problems if you use the rear. My digital camera (Sony MCV 5.0 megapix) also gives me the same error.

 

PLEASE help me get the software for the 220. i ve try searching and every link on here but non om them are responding can you IM me at jpatz1 and send me the file or point me in the right direct thanks

 

Question? Has anyone with windows xp with sp2 gotten a driver download to work?? I haven`t tried anything yet. I`ve just purchased my phone and would like to try to download a driver and the phone tools, etc.

 

motorola v220

 

yep i have and i have all the software to do itplus games... message me and i can send them to yo or something

 

ok all you have to do is go to:
http://www.the-creation.com/v600/software.htm
and then donwload the file:
* Eerst deze installeren...
and then follow the instructions
good luck ya'll

 

I've been trying all day to find the drivers for the V220....

 

djdracula... couldn't get that to work. i downloaded it but winzip won't open it. any suggestions?

 

jodibug - do you need the drivers or the software?

Either way PM me


EDIT - I have just d/l and unpacked and tried those files from the-creation.com and they work fine. There should be no problems for you jodibug. May I suggest you try Winrar rather than winzip !! :S

 

thanks, nanaman. I'll have to get my husband on it. apparently I don't know what I'm doing!

 

nanaman..... I downloaded the file from http://www.the-creation.com/v600/software.htm.... (twice) when it completes the download, winzip opens and I'm not sure what to do from there.

also, this is the software, right? do i need to d/l the drivers from somewhere?

when I did a search on my computer for "mobile phone tools", nothing came up.

I am so lost (and I don't know much about computers in case you didn't notice! LOL)

I am not going to give up though! I'm still trying.

 

looks like that site adds a nice bit of tracking cookie to our PC's!!

mediaclick is a pain.

If you can Jodi contact me on msn. I have added you to my contact list so I should see you as u come online.

 

on my way!

 

I guess I missed you, you're not online now. My DH did get the software to download (probably tracking cookies and all) but we can't find the V220 listed.

Maybe we'll catch you on messenger soon. Thanks again!

 

I'm there now !!

 

Hello, i just purchased a Motorola V220 and the guy said I could upload Mp3's onto my phone if i retrieved the proper software. I have tried things listed on this forum, but i keep coming up with expired pages, but basically crap. I have the P2k things, but i need that 1.23c, then i guess also the upgrade.

Does anybody know a site that will actually let me download this stuff??? Thanks

 

It seems i have just stumbled upon a possibly very useful site, am I in the right place, and if so what programs must i obtain from here.
