Hack the Motorola v360v

Program installation notes

 

These instructions are written from the standpoint of never having any Motorola phone software installed on your computer.

I am going to install some programs and drivers, which will allow the computer to communicate with the V3i.   Download the "Motorola P2K Drivers version 2.9" here .   Now extract the file "Motorola_EU_Driver_Installation.msi" from the zip you downloaded and double click the file to start the installer.   Click "Next >".

Follow the screens and the program will install the drivers and you'll wind up at this screen.   Click "Close".

At this point make sure your phone is not connected to the computer via the data cable.   Now go to your Windows' "Start" button and click it, then click "All Programs" and you will see a new program folder has been added called "Motorola Driver Installer". Highlight the file called "Motorola Driver Installer.exe".   The program will immediately start doing its thing.

When it's finished click the radio button labeled "Clean and Reinstall" in the "Operation Mode" section of the screen and then click "Start".   The program will do its thing again.   When it finishes click "Exit".

Now connect your phone to the USB cable.   I then started the program P2K Tools, but before it could start the following screen appeared.   This wants to install software for a USB Composite Device.   Make sure you check the same radio button I did "Install the software automatically (Recommended)", then click "Next >".

Finally we are done installing drivers and P2K Tools started and recognized my phone.   This screen shot is from the older version of the program.

Next install RSD Lite.   Then install P2K Phone File Manager.   Then make sure the phone works with all of these programs.

The first time you use RSD Lite with the phone connected to the data cable and attempt to flash the phone, the hardware wizard will appear to install software for the Motorola Flash Interface.   Make sure you check the same radio button I did "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click "Next >".

Don't forget to install MotoSkin, P2K Menu Editor, XVI32 and any other programs you downloaded.

If after you install the following programs, you have problems getting your computer to recognize your phone, then the first thing you should check on your phone is this: press the menu key key then go to "Connection", press "Select", go to "USB Settings" then press "Select" then go to "Default Connection:" and make sure this is set to "Data/Fax Connection".
