V3re phone

[wmwinn]

Using RSD Lite v3.4 - this app identifies my brand new AT&T RAZR as V3re

S/W version is: R3442A_G_0E.43.08R

I think the bootloader is 0C.C1

I'm not finding many posts about V3re..... Should I follow advice for the V3 or the V3r?

Any clarification would be appreciated!

You have a new software and BL version. Not much is known about it yet. Be careful...

Thanks, Jeff - that's good advice. I'll sit tight until more info arrives. With all the posts around E3443U2, I thought mine might be an older version (E3442A)

[JHanko]

No, it's newer. It looks like all that can be done right now is to get a backup. Here's a little more info on it:

OK - I think my V3re completed a backup. By using the first link above (thanks to Dumba and Vermsky), I used FB3 and it did recognize my brand new V3re phone. Since I'm new at this, please give some feedback:

SW: R3442A_G_OE43.08R
BL: 0C.C1
V3re (v3_06)

I selected all the code groups for backup, and after several minutes, a 14MB .fb3 file was created.

Questions:
1) Does this backup contain any personal info?
2) If something bad happens in the future (Brick), can this file be used to put it back to "NEW" state?
3) Is this file worth sharing with others to help with unlock/flex/seem learnings?

thanks for your time,

It would be very helpful to others, and yes it contains personal info like phonenumbers stored to the phone and not the sim card or recent phone numbers dialed or photos taken. You would need to reset the phone first to factory, and you would need to save the backup in .shx format. That is also advisable for you in any case, it should create a file about the size of 70mb. That you can zip or rar and come to a size of 17mb rougfhly. Thanks for keeping us informed,

Make sure you used a registered version of Flash & Backup, or your backup will be missing Group code 2....

Jeff

I followed Dumba's advice and created a .SHX backup this time. Here's the log. It sure looks like the CG2 was copied - and I was using the Trial version of FB 3.0.6.

Jeff - do you think this is NOT a valid backup, since I did not use registered software?

thanks,

If you used the trial version, GC2 was read, but not saved. Open the SHX file as if you were going to write it to your phone and see if GC2 is in the list...

Jeff

[wmwinn]

Jeff - I did what you asked, and CG2 is listed after opening the backup file. The boxes are all checked for CG1,2,3,4,7,8,15,18.

The size of the .SHX file is 67.7M, but the individual CG file sizes only add up to around 29M. Is that normal, and do you think this is a good backup file?

thanks,

It appears you got a complete backup? Are you sure the version you have isnt registered? Click on "Help" and see if there's a name under "Registered to:"...

Jeff

[wmwinn]

F&B 3.0.6: I get the 21 day trial nag screen upon start-up, and the Help window does not show a registration name.

Another question: I understand that flashing/flexing would be high risk for this new software, but what about seem editing? Do you think it would be okay to try a few of the more common ones (funlights, more call logging, etc) on my V3re?

thanks,

The newer FB3 versions come fully functional with cg2 included. They only run for a certain time or a certain number of times. The older FB3 trial came without cg2, but Random changed that, too many user were let to believe they had a backup, and then they didn't. Your Backup is fine and complete,
About the seems, I would give it a try. see if you can save your seems now with one of the P2K programs so you can always go back to them.

The v3 funlight mod worked for me on my V3re don't know if any others do yet.
