Alltel V9m rintone seem edit

I need a seem edit to enable "Apply As" feature for mp3 ringtones. I didn't see it in the list of seem edits.

For one the reason it is not on the list is because the seem edits listed here are for the v3c & v3m, not the v9m. Some are the same on the v9m and others aren't so you need to be careful. They ( Moto ) has updated the firmware a bit for the new phones. Also not to many folks have the Razr2 ( ie v9m) here at HTR. I'm one of the few that do, altho mine is from VZW and is flashed to the leaked USCC firmware. However here is the seem that should take care of it for you. I would think being it works on the USCC flash and it the same firmware pretty much which is based on the Moto UI.

seem 2742, record 1, bytes 0000, Offset 0075, bit 4 - off, Enables Apply as Ringtone

Edit;
FYI I hope you do realize tho that p2kseem does not work with the v9m to do seem edits.

Do you have a manual on the proper procedure with a list of required applications?

If I can get this to work it will be a godsend. I am so frustrated with the fact that I can't put my own ringtones on a $500 phone. I want to stick it to alltel like they stuck it to me.

Thanks a ton!!

FYI you do not need the apply as ringtone edit to be able to use your own ringtones, really no reason to be frustrated at this point. If you have the ring tone on the phone you can select it by going into menu>settings>personalize> ring style, choose the ring style ( ie loud, soft....etc) and just set it there. However it is nice to just be able to go to your sounds folder and choose a ringers and just hit options to be able to " Apply as ringtone ".

Anywhoo as for the info you will need to do the edit everything is listed here so you can move forward with doing the edit. Head down to item 21 for the seem edit stuff, and look over any of the other info if you wish. Keep in mind some of it is relative to the VZW model but it will give you the idea of what software works with the phone and what doesn't. Alot of what worked on the original Razr DOES NOT work with the Razr2 just as an FYI.

In the newest firmware from alltel, they disabled the ability to apply custom ringtones. Even if you go through the settings and change a ringer style you only get the list of default ringers. You can't even see the other files. The first versions of the razr2 had this ability but they must have changed it within the last few months.

curious, how are you transferring the ring tones to the phone?

Good info tho being I hadn't heard that. I did know they released a new firmware update but did not realize that changed that. Thx for the info tho.

I am copying the mp3's to my memcard using a card reader and then copying them from the card to the phone memory.

I got the seem editor and everything working. I opened the file and bit 4 of offset 0075 was already off. I already had the ability to use apply as but only on ringtones that came with the phone. there must be a different place to allow it on all ringtones. Any suggestions?

That explains it. Personally I've never seen that method work right. The reason is it more then likely isn't working is because by moving it that way the audio folder is not getting rebuilt ( ie indexed)as it needs to, so it shows the new files. My guess is if you went in and deleted the mytone.db file from the root directory of the phone using p2kcommander or BitPim that they would show up right after doing that and cycling the power. What you are describing is the same thing that happens if you use p2kcommander to add ring tones to the phone, if you copy them and don't delete the file I mentioned. However if you use BT or MPT to transfer the tones the mytone.db file does in fact get indexed correctly so they show right up.

$70 for a USB cable, holy shit. No questions asked, return it. Then if you have a usb cable for say a digital camera or something just head over to the Moto store and buy the mini USB to micro USB adapter for $10.

I haven't even bought a car charger either because I had a car charger for my original Razr that uses a mini USB. So now I can use the adapter for in the car if need be or to hack this thing via my comp and all it cost me was the $10.
