What got you into modding?

[Jack]

Im always curious to learn what triggered the "Itch" to mod in each of us... I know it was because I was tired of looking at the same blah skins on my V3. I started looking for skins, and ran across the esteemed poetic_follys site. I then learned what DRMs were, and wanted to change that too! The rest is history. I cant help myself. I usually get tired of a cell phone after a few months, but I still love my V3 after almost a year!

[cash7c3]

i'm old school, I discovered op codes in wap and it all went from there

[NiNJaHw]

I wanted a housing skin for my phone and i discovered you could change the "skin" of the phone and it went downhill from there after i found out about motomodders and slvrhackers

[Jdiaz_617]

Hi there guys. I have my V3x for quite some time already (April 2006) but just have it connected to my PC recently using UID extractor tool (having problem ever since connecting the phone to my PC).
All my past fons were nokia, and this was the first motorola fon that I had. Unlike nokia, modding motorola fons was a bit hard and made it challenging for me. At first it was just for the skins, now I'm trying more complicated modding.
Not fond of participating to forums, Im always reading and trying-out things. Anyways, gonna try my best to participate once in a while.
Have a great day to all.

Its a great thing, these forums are. I used to hate participating in things like this, but its really fun and you can learn a ton of stuff!

Welcome to Modmymoto!

[poetic_folly]

Yay! Its cool to see I brought someone into modding. Hello young padwan. :D

[art2d2tx]

I wanted my phone to be different from the rest... and i mean, different to other SLVRs!

[Texas34]

The 100 song limit was killing me.....I found momo.....the rest is history...

[Gyngabread Man]

i got my V3 whennit first came out and i wanted mine to be different from the only other ppl who had them....take that rich asians and celebrities

[Gyngabread Man]

i wanted my V3 to be different from the only other ppl who had it at the time... haha take that rich ppl

[Ivan]

dunno, i think that were skins by zra...:D

[Magick]

I got my slvr and couldn't get certain songs to load on it. So i googled it and found the old site and saw all these things to do to my slvr.

[Quackers]

I got a V3 from BT Fusion and it had weird firmware on it. I felt the need to conform :-)

[Khemistry]

when i got my 1st motorola v3 i wanted new ringtones, then i started looking into modding the gain table. then it all went from there. then i purchased my slvr i totally loved modding. i'm an addict. sheesh i wouldnt live with you MODDING!!!!

[ColsTiger]

I only made simple mods until p_f got through with The Moto Guide. His simple instructions gave me the courage to try flashing my Razr for the first time. From there it's just been a matter of reading and asking advice on helpful forums like this.

[poetic_folly]

Cols... good to see you here. :D

[apristel]

I got into it because I am a nerdbomb. also known by a select few as TypeMaster2000, oh and because you have to customize everything you own. Yes, I write my name on my whitey tighties.

[Karsten Dot DK (MegaJoy)]

I just found it COOL that I could change ANYTHING I wanted thru hacking the Moto's. For me it is V3 and E398@ROKR. I think all in all we will ROCK this place to the SKY!!!! I have been at this for just as long as Poetic I believe, was a former admin for MotoModders, so from there to HERE!!!! Got my insight from Magictom, MotoX and all the old school guys!!! YEAH man GREETINGS to you all!!! CHEERS and HAPPY MODDING ;) :D :p :cool:

[chick1440]

Was searching for ringtones for my phone... came across MotoX... Straight away I got the video camera put on my v3... after that i started making my own stuff skins & drm's... Became skin master at motoX and the last few weeks i started making my own fonts thanks to the fantastic guide at themotoguide...

[ebentley]

I started with PDAs and as they became more sophisticated I was able (with the addition of some applications) to somewhat personalize their look and feel. Always liked having the one that "people wished they had.":cool23: I've had Samsungs, Motos, and Nokia phones, but never thought about trying to "hack" them. Then I got my first silver V3 and wanted to change the skins so I started looking around and found some good sites. I did a lot of reading and finally got the courage to try. It's been a blast ever since!!;) I can't wait to get my hands on a Razr Maxx!

[DaveRS]

My v3 didn't have video recording!!! So I went in search of a better phone lol. Seems as though I found it ;)

[Kevhicks]

I wanted to delete all the useless crap. Read alot on MoMo, and then went for it, accidentally deleted my moto skin folder, flashed a monster pack. then figured...hell if I can do this I'm going to try it all.

[sebgonz]

Let's see.... I was in a cell shop one day, getting my V3 screen cleaned. I noticed something on their counter that they called "modding" and it showed a few screenies of "skins". I asked them about it and they told me that it was $60 to change them. So I said screw it.
For a few months, I forgot all about it. Then, one day, I was bored at work and was looking through my phone. I remembered about the "skins", and starting googling "motorola skins". I ran into The Moto Guide. There, I read a ton of stuff, and thought, "Ah heck. Why not?"

Here I am. :D

[avatar_43]

Nice bump lol
Mine would have been the 100 song limit on my ROKR googled, found MoMo and been doing it ever since :)

[count zero]

Wanted a 12 icon menu on my slvr found slvr hackers.............. came here

[Dumba]

Haha ,I only wanted to get rid of the vodafone thingy on the outer display, so I changed the alpha tag, I was very surprised that the outer screen on the v3r had not changed but the provider on the inner lcd had diappeared, lol. That's when it all started....

[brett k]

i couldn't hear my stupid razr if there was any noise in the room, so i looked online and found a guide called hacking the razr, now 8 months later I've learned quite a bit.

[kunal]

dumbness of my phone

[moond0ggie]

Hello, My name is moond0ggie & I'm a mod-a-holic,

I bought a Cingular Razr V3 in April '06
It was my first video phone & wanted to find a way to save them to my PC. I found 3 good moto sites & was suprised at what was being done.
Like the rest of you, I'm not happy with a factory offering so I studied good, & practiced all the mods.
After a couple months of experiments, I was happy with an optimized modded V3 & fell away from the forums.
Recently I put all the gold V3i trimming on my black V3, it looks sweet.
Then I bought another V3 on fleaBay to mod the heck out of.
Thats when I found this site, I think it's the best moto forum for a lot of reasons.
(poetic_folly has Class as well as some others)
I also serve some duty here by helping the newbs!!!;)

Honestly back when I was 17 and had a Nextel phone, midi ringtone enabled phones just came out. There was a guy I used to go to to get ringtones from and he did some pretty awesome mods. So I paid a crapload of money for him to mod my phone and do ringtones and housing changes. Anyway my phone got lost and I bought another phone from him and the jerk wouldn't do any of the mods or even give me a couple ringtones for free. So I told him to go make love to himself (not in those excact words) and told him I'd fiogure it out myself. He said "yeah I'd like to see you try, I was trained by motorola so unless you can get that same training then keep dreaming buddy". A week later I went back and did all my own mods installed my own ringtones wallpapers and games and even had a few mods that he didn't know how to do. When asking me how I learned I told him "I really did get trained by motorola, and if I where to tell you these secrets I would have to kill you" and walked out. My modding interests grew from there.

All I can say is.... "FINISH HIM"

[FARRUKH]

thn one day i was gogling for skins
found this amazing site and since thn iv modding and modding and in short period of time iv released 3 mp's for l7
just 1 tday
modding really is fun

[paul]

When I first got an L7, my hearing is not the greatest, so I could not hear when on a phone call. So I started searching on the net and found slvrfiles.info and the moto guide and went from there :thumbsup:

[gizhaper135]

The 100 song limit was killing me.....I found momo.....the rest is history...

Same thing for me, then found out about skins, and the rest was history

[Chuck2291]

I was searching for v3 mods while waiting on my phone to arrive, found this site, looked it over, and had to join. Been going at it every since.

[JithinSK]

Me was in search for how to enable video recording for E398 and also for some skins.. Found the great e398mod.com site-->MoMo-->M3 :D

[milkbone98]

I got my first Moto (V300) and wanted to erase the phonebook, so i did a master clear/reset and it lost all sound. So, I looked at the largest source of misinformation about wireless devices on the internet, asked a question, and a dude answered me. I looked at the site that he is a mod on and another that Prybar is a mod on (MoMo) and started lurking. Eventually i came across The Moto Guide, and then here, and loved the "no BS attitude" atmosphere. The rest is history i guess.

BTW, about some of those "Trained By Motorola" guys, nothing beats real world learn by your mistakes experience. I love pwning those jagoffs, some of them still flash the wrong FW to V3r's, or wait for a Technical Service Bulletin to discover a known issue. Toolboxes lol

[brett k]

dang! poor yoshi's gettin' the bizness. :thumbsup:

[98xploder]

cloning phones.. v60 first phone i modded lol. i just wanted to be able to have cdma backup phones without all the hassle of calling the providers.

[scotty1982]

i didn't know anything about modding (didn't even know there was such an option for cell phones) as in thought you buy a cellphone with the features you want to have...

then i saw M3 by total coincidence when searching for 'codes' for phones (i used to have a nokia and thought i was 'all that' 'cuz i knew about the *#9999#12345# thing for those), and got M3 in my search results, so i poked around a bit, and saw the things people could do with their cell phones, and got HOOKED!!!

M3 IS THE BEST!!! nowhere else will you find the organization and information that you'll find here!

i wish i had UNLIMITED money just to donate it all to this website!!!

(but of corse i'm broke, sorry poetic_folly and cash... can't remember the rest right now 'cuz i'm drunk)

ROCK ON M3!!!!!!

[Ajeya]

One of my friends told me on internet about "modding"
when he told me wat all we can do here ...i was amazed!
so this was my beginning here..

[megadeath999]

My rizr had no charge light on it so i googled on how to enable it, found this site and now im a happy moto modder. it was my destiny finding this site

[Charlie861i]

One word....Luck.

[PressureDrop]

Well, I stumbled on M3 while looking for skins for my v3x ...I think.

Failed my first seem edit (now I think "How the hell?") and M3 helped me get it working again.

Cheers homies.

[BF]

i was up at work one day when the owner of the place's son showed me his slightly modded v3, in response to me showing him my new l7. i asked him how, and he pointed me to motomodders.... i looked at it but couldnt find anything on l7, only v3. i kept searching for a way to get past the 100song limit when i stumbled on slvrhackers.net..... i joined like 10 days after it opened.... things kinda took off from there.....

[naxchua]

bought v3x and feel it's soft... so decided to google for solutions... :)

[Skv012a]

Mm, good thread. My first upgrade was a 3i whose earpiece sucked really bad. I started modding in a vain attempt to fix that thing, but gains didn't really help so it went back to ebay. After that the only thing I got to really mod was my Z3 after I sold Ming(which only needed some mpkg's to fix a few issues). Now I'm on E6, so there isn't too much beyond 850/Edge to be done.

[Ruud]

after years of using Nokia phones, i couldn't get used to the menus on a V3 and i hated the skins on that phone... using google i found some forums and my 1st brick only a few hours later :D

[zxca]

Once upon a time, month of december, christmas. My cousin flashed cyberwulf's mp, cyberwulf 1.2, then i was amazed, my phone now had an iTunes, then after days and weeks, i flashed cyberwulf's mp 2.0, lol:D, then it all began, i now mod my l7 till i get comfortable using it.

thanks for this glamorous/wonderful site. thanks m3:D

[gtafreek2]

when i got my slvr l7 and wanted funlights when i saw on youtube, then found out i cant get them on it, traded some kid at skool for a v3i because i didnt like my slvr, then put funlights on the v3i and got into skins and stuff, then messed up and deleted itunes, now getting new itunes

[Trickybitch]

i was trying to unlock my V3x.......no solution. Asked at motomodders....then started modding. Then they deleted my post count (dunno why) and i got sick of their bad V3x section. Found here and never looked back :D

[whoaboy]

started modding because my original phone was locked to At&t and that pissed me off so i found a way to unlock it..because i love my old v220..even without a workin keypad

[chiragsingh]

Well the SLVR i had bought didnt come with itunes.Then one day i read about itunes on L7.I was like 'Lets check up on this!!!!!!'.Then came across themotoguide,slvrhackers,motomodders.That was it!!! i was hooked.Now i HAVE to do something to my phone every few days!!!!!

[nightrainrider]

I bought an L6 and after seeing the rythm light videos on Youtube..I managed to enable them using my frnds comp but lost my inbox and videos folders! I sent it to the motoassist and they flashed an R3517 on it. When it came back I started learning more on M3 and trying out my mods.I used to flash 2 Mps a week at one point.I bought a V3i last year and Ive been addicted to M3 and modding. I also started doing mods on E398,V3,L7,L2 and related models

[Alexrz619]

thread resurrected.

i bought a pink sliver from a friend of mine used for 50 dlls, and liked it cause it had itunes in it n it was cool,
so then i was messing around with the menu and then i saw it said skin so then i was like these skins suck. so then for some reason i KNEW that they could be changed/uploaded to a phone, and that there would be better ones so i searched and searched and i found momo but i couldnt not understand anything so i kept looking some more and i came across M3, thank you GOOGLE, and then i was like WHOA!:woot:

so i read and read and read and has a seizure from too much info...

then i was like "i don't know what they are talking about, but i know that i will mod and i will upload skins and i will make a skin...."

so here i am.

[Palash]

never saaw this thread b4...:D

Anyways,

once, I saw a L7 heavily modded....was My friend who was modding..;)

He told me about slvrhackers.net

I had only l2/l6 when i saw that..

After that, slvrhackers showed this site, came to this site and now reached this...:D

[Capitan Totti]

I got a good deal back in the day for getting 2 RAZRs for the price of one but I had to buy a Magenta RAZR in order to get the other one free. So, I bought it, :D, and decided to change it to gold housing... and I didn't know how to change the housing and came accross M3 and other sites but M3 is the one I sticked to, and later on I found out you can mod the software too! And it was cool and fun so... there you do. :D

[candymanmike]

i was changing service providers and didn't want to buy a new phone. so i did a search on unlocking. found momo. then i found out i could unbrand it and put my own ringtones on it! and the rest is history. one this is for certain in the world of moto modding though! :M3FTW!::m3::M3FTW!::m3::sigh:

[Gagan_rocks]

a moto

[Clarkey]

I was looking to unlock my L7 but the only possible way was with testpoint, so i googled testpoint L7 and found MotoX, which I found all the info there and more mods, then i got linked to slvrhackers.net, which was just closing, and was re-directed here, stopped by here once or twice, learned, read and modded, then started helping out. and i've been on here every day ever since.

[zxca]

What got me into modding my moto? hmm the iTunes feature on l7 really got me in the modding community here at m3.:D then things just come and come till i get satisfied.

I wanted my phone to be different from the rest... and i mean, different to other SLVRs!

I agree with you art2d2tx!:D

[NiKSY]

I got into modding to convert my e398 to ROKR...WoW was I amazed when I did it :woot:... It was freaking awesome! I even remember, that first flash was 1.september.2006th, first day of school lol...

Oooh the geeks memories... Mmmmm....

Now I help out other members wherever Im registered, and make some MPs from time to time...

Im 15 ATM, btw...

Cheers guys!

[nightrainrider]

@Niksy,I know that feeling..the first seem edit I did on my L6 to enable rythm lights!

[FrankTheTank5421]

First I wanted to put ringtones on to my razr v3, and i used MPT which I later realized sucks. I just read so much stuff about modding once I figured out this stuff was possible and I started flashing and what not, although i was stupid and didn't back up, and nothing went wrong. I didn't start posting here until recently, and I come on almost everyday in efforts to help people with their rizr/razr :thumbsup:

:m3:

[NiKSY]

@Niksy,I know that feeling..the first seem edit I did on my L6 to enable rythm lights!

But my first mod was a whole flash... and I got from r372 e398 to ROKR`s r373 and it was Bodyguards Revolution4 it ROCKED my world... :rockon:

Yesterday i was walking the street playing some music on ma e398 and I noticed people turn around to look.. I was amazed they can hear it 10 meters away!! :woot:

[JithinSK]

[kn100]

i think my first mod was to enable the 'hide' function in the l6 media player, and in our school, l6's were like the most popular phone, i modded my friends, and now they all want to get a rizr, but they got thier stupid sony erricsons.

ooh the feeling when you start modding, the adrenaline rush you get, its awesome

[NiKSY]

:woot: :woot:

Well maybe not 10meters but 5 for sure :thumbsup:

I just love to do that now... I go behind some fancy guys and play some hardcore punk / trash metal and they get so pissed off but dont say a thing...
LOL :rockon:

[nightrainrider]

I put on rythmlights randomly and see the expressions on ppls faces when they understand its responding to sounds

[krawls80]

i got into modding by accident. I was only looking to change the boring stock skins dat were on my v3i. I did a search and came across M3. As i was browsing the site i saw all this strange language...monsterpacks, flash, DRM, seem editing and i was curious to learn more. So i began asking question and was amazed to know that so many things could be done to change my motorola, I've been here every since!
