How to setup Motorola Phone Tools with a Verizon v3c / v3m Razr-very outdated
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.
Used in this guide:
- * Mobile Phone Tools - Version 3.20f [purchase it with a usb cable] -->
* Standard USB cable [PICTURE]
* Required seem edit: "Enable USB Transfers" [GUIDE] [SEEM EDITS]
* Razr V3C / V3M from Verizon

!!! A SEEM EDIT IS REQUIRED TO MAKE MPT WORK !!! |
