How to setup Motorola Phone Tools with a Verizon v3c / v3m Razr-very outdated
Well, I hope that my changes here won't break any links. Also, the reason the title of this guide has an ending "very outdated" is because it's almost duplicated in this guide
here. I intend to preserve some of the usefull links in this guide before it goes bye-bye.
Motorola Phone Tools, otherwise known as MPT, can be used to upload your own ringtones, pictures, and videos to your Verizon v3c / v3m Razr -- free of charge. These phones come stock from Verizon with this feature blocked, probably for the potential profits that can be made with this feature not available. However, with a relatively simple modification to the phones programming, we can unblock this feature so that we may upload
our own content to
our phone,
for free.
