Motorola V220 USB Data Cabel Software

ive tried to do the update and when its done it says it won't open or something

 

i just tried that step by step, it seems no matter what i do, upgrade from 1.23 to 2.16 or 2.21 or even upgrade all the way to 3.11 it just WONT work! I can get all my contacts from my address book and update them but the damn mobile explorer wont work! I think it is just crappy drivers or something, because it wont work on either of my 2 computers. has anyone had a ny luck with the ebay cd?

ok... lets step back a minute.

I need some insight here from you in order to help.
IMO if the computer sees the phone via mft and you can transfer the addy data from the phone then you have it all working.
Are you sure you are doing this correct per the directions... i need to know exact error and exact vs of software of MFTools you are running in order to help.
And... you are using a V220 phone but selected V600 in the setup as told to do?

 

Yeah i selected the V600 and it starts up initializes, but when i try to click on the explorer to transter files from comp to phone and vice versa, the little "busy" cursor just stays on for a while and when it goes away i dont have anything on the phone side of the explorer. and after i do this i cant retreive anything from my addy anymore. This happens no matter what version of MPT im using.

 

Bonguis- I successfully downloaded all the files, but when I try to install the 1.23 I get an error message every time. Cannot get book names or some such. Any idea?

 

Okay, never mind the previous message. That is fixed. I have the MPT programs downloaded and installed however it never asks me to configure my phone. Also, when I downloaded the P2K and USB drivers there was nothing to install. No exe files.

 

Okay four hours of work and I am going to summarize it so you can do it in 10.

DO NOT PLUG YOUR PHONE INTO THE COMPUTER UNTIL YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTAL EVERYTHING

1. Get a cable that has a USB port at one end and a mini USB at the other. I went to Best Buy computer department (not the cell phone department...they were idiots) and showed them my phone. I told them that I needed a cord to fit it and to hook up to my computer. It was $25 and is the "Geek" brand that they sell.

2. Download the software from here: http://www.free.cz/motorola/ Click on mmpt_1.23c_EN.zip 09-Jul-2004 22:38 18.1M Download, unzip and install. I got an error message at the end of this that said something about getbook links something. DO NOT CLICK OK. Simply click control alt delete and end the program. It will not affect how the program works.

3. Download the update software from here: http://www.free.cz/motorola/ Click on mobilePhoneTools_2.2..> 17-May-2004 21:05 21.0M Download, unzip and unstall. it will give you a security warning. Click go ahead and install. My computer didn't crash and all is well.

4. Go to http://bongowireless.com/file_download.php and click on a P2K driver, either 53 or 18 depending on which version of Windows you have. Unzip the files. There is nothing to install.

5. Go to http://bongowireless.com/file_download.php and click on 77 the drivers. Unzip the files. There is nothing to install.

6. Reboot your computer.

7. Once it's rebooted hook up your phone on the small end of the cord and plug it into the USB port on your computer. Your computer should detect new hardware and will find the driver.

8. Click on mobile phone tools. If you did everything correctly it should pop up quickly. You should see a mini phone thing on your screen. To get pictures from your phone to your computer, click on the multimedia link.

This is about as easy as I can make it. I have no idea how to fix any problems other than the ones that I stumbled upon though. Sorry.

Hope this helps someone out!

 

I've been searching for the correct programs to download ringtones to my phone and shortening them (MP3 songs). I have downloaded program after program and still haven't gotten any of them to work correctly. I would really appreciate it if someone who has the program will share it will all that need it. Hopefully someone could help me out and list all of the correct programs that work for them. Please only list them if they have worked correctly for you. I am very interested in putting music ringtones on my V220. thanks everyone!

 

Would ya'll please stop asking questions that have been answered over 2-3 times already, If you want an answer look through this thread everything except how to dialup a number is listed in this thread. I need help with a problem that hasn't been answered yet, How do you dial up internet on regular GSM or dialup any number from let's say a phone dialer program without it disconnecting, I know someone has got to know how to do this. PLEASE HELP

 

Look, i have looked through the threads and i have downloaded at least 10 programs/versions of programs and not have had luck yet so don't get smart!

 

This is in response to sunny4328 tutorial above...

I did everything as noted, but am still not quite sure where to unzip everything. You say to unzip them, but not where to. The only one that's semi-apparent was "USBMOT2000.inf" but that's cause there's already a copy of that.

Everything else seems to be going smoothly though...

 

I just unzipped it to the folder that my computer prompted it to. Probably called "unzipped" somewhere in your C drive or in your program files.

 

Hey all . . .

I downloaded several different versions of the software . . . no problem installing and my V220 is recognized and all that. THe phone book works BUT when I load the MultiMedia Center, my phone goes off-line and the software will not reconize it. WHen I exit the MMC, I have to re-initialize the phone-software connection. Anyboy got any ideas? I was figuing on going ahead and buying the most up-to-date version of mobile phone tools, but I'd like to solve this, first!

TIA!

pmorris:

I had a similar situation... The MMS just STOPPED working and wouldn't do crap. I uninstalled the drivers and Mobile Phone Tools and started all over, and that helped. Doing that can be found in this thread:

how do you unzip files?!?!

 

I am beginning to wonder if these V220/phone tools issues are operating system relevant. In other words; I run Win XP and once I installed everything I earlier posted on the last page here (page 29)
I have had no probs. It works everytime I hookup my V220 and drag over a new ringtone or image.
Other ppl here are saying it works the 1st time then not again and having other issues. I would like to know what OS everyone is using.

Stacie, you still cant get yours to work even with mine and other ppl's exact directions (mine on page 29 here) so what operating system do you have?

Other ppl here that are still having problems getting the phone to work; what OS are you running?

Im running Windows Xp pro service pack 2, i actually had to reintall windows because all of my usb devices wouldnt work so i kinda dont want to install MPT anymore. i might give the P2k tools a try because all i want to do is transfer ONE measly ringtone.

 

lkche148,
I may know what the problem is. What size is the ringtone you are trying to transfer over and what bitrate is it?
When I made the bitrate to large or the file size of the mp3 to large I never got an error message. It just had an eternal hourglass then it all disapeared.

THE bitrate CANNOT be over 128 (40-64 is highly suggested) and the size of the mp3 should not NOT be over 200k. Refer to my detailed post on page 29 on how to cut an existing mp3 into suitable size and also how to rip a song from a cd to an mp3.

Good luck and let me know if this was the problem.

Hi,
I have been using MPT for a while now. I firstly, installed the software on to my desktop PC and after a few trys, i managed to get it working perfectly.
Then i tried to save the programme onto another computer via a wireless network but it wouldn't work properly so i uninstalled it and then tried to download the whole thing again for fresh. So i tried a variety of suggestions but half of these links no longer work and the stuff that i have managed to download won't install right.
Further up the thread it recommends to download the first version but then update it without starting it up. Then later some one else says to start it up after so, i getting a bit confused!
Anyway, i tried to install the 1st version and it says something about an internal failure. So, now i have all the stuff this thread says i need but i can't install any of it cos the 1st one won't.
So, does anyone have a suggestion as to what i do now?
Why won't it install properly. I unzipped the file and extracted the files with Winrar.
Is there somewhere else that i can try downloading this software from?
The annoying thing is my other one works perfectly, like i said and it was no where near as hard as this the last time.
All help much appreciated.
