Offical V3re Thread

[Clarkey]

Post findings and questions about the V3re here

[Dumba]

Ok guys, not very lively here. This thread is meant to collect all queries about the v3re in one place. Just ask and we all answer. At a later date that will make it easier to collect all v3re information in a new subsection, if needed. Thanks for helping,

NEWBIE ALERT::
I tried following this to get obeymoto but could not get my V3re to work with it. My guess is that I need the vst files for language pack 1103 (my language list on the phone). Anyone have them, I'd love to get them.
Key notes during my process. I was able to backup with FB3.0.7.
P2Ktools 3.0.8 build 864 was not able to see the file structure but seemed to be able to read the 'seem map' (correct wording for that?) and most other phone modding items (skins, ringtones, menu maps, etc).
Used P2K commander from Here to achieve file viewing and modifying. Others may work also, but these are what I tried.
I don't care about modding that much but I'd rather have a brick than not have obeymoto. [RANT]Corporate america ruining good inventions...Love the country but some things just amaze me.[/RANT]
Phone info Cingular V3re 3442A_G_0E.43.08R FLEX = GSTRAZR06ATT01NA0DE Bootloader 0C.C1

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas to everyone except Cingular...[okay now /RANT]

I've just got my first phone and would like to increase the volume. I have a razr v3re, r3442a_G_oe.43.08r, Boot loader oc.c1. I've installed P2K Commander and it recognizies my phone. Is there any place I can learn how to use P2k to mod seems?

[vlad2006]

ok this is my first post and my first motorola phone is :

software : R3442A_G_0E.41.22R
flex : GSUU3XX060RTBALK089-1.0.2.2.4.7.0.25.0.0.4.0.0.0.0.0.6.1.0.0.22.0.0.0
hardware : CHWF1551AA

it is v3RE UNBRANDED UNLOCKED (bought from cosmote romania). i got the phone working with usb drivers from motodev (latest december i think) and p2kc 4.9 +skiman 0.51 recognized miy phone.

since it is my first moto phone my experience is close to zero regarding moding this type of phone.

first i want to ask some questions :

1.what skins are verified and working ok with v3re ? i understand that i should look ONLY for 3*3 skins and to avoid mmc skins.

2.does seem edit is working ok for this phone ?

3.what files i must NEVER DELETE ? i just want to free some memory.

4.how do i delete websesions ? some of them have a lock beside and cannot be deleted.

[riplies24]

The only file editor that will read all of the files is MOST, found in the download section. The seem editor is not in english.
I was able to change the startup gif and shutdown gif using this program.

All I did was delete the old file and replace with my gif.

I looked around for a long time, and thought this may help someone.

[eichmr]

I was not able to find a file editor named MOST in the download section. Is it referred to by another name?

[pioneeringelements]

I haven't done much to mine. I've changed cl.gif, one skin (most failed to work), deleted a bunch of stock images and some stock ringtones, hidden the operator banner with a seam edit, changed my call log to display all missed calls from a particular number (rather than the most recent) with a seam edit. Most frustrating for me was my inability to change the operator banner text. Also, when you delete a skin, the name of that skin still remains in your skins list-the phone simply applies the alkali skin instead.

About changing the operator banner on a v3re:

I've wondered if the file _op_greet found in the a: root contained the operator banner. Opened in a hex editor I found the string 08 6f | a8 01 | 30 6f | a8 01. Since I'm on AT&T I thought the a8 01 words might be for the letter T, but playing around with the bits and trying their 1s and 2s complements, I can't seem to come up with the correct ascii characters. Any suggestions? I hesitate to modify this file and "see what happens." I'm afraid these might be pointers to the real operator information stored somewhere else.

to tlhtr: I think you can use PKTools VS to change the volume settings. I had some trouble with the file manager but it has a nice, dedicated window for changing all the volume settings (gain tables). I haven't actually tried it on my own phone. Be careful. You can overdrive the small speakers inside your phone and blow them out.

regarding seam edits, the guides for the other versions of razr phones have worked pretty well for me to learn how to edit them. I've stuck to really simple edits though b/c this is a new model of phone. P2K Commander has a nice window with good descriptions of each seam bit and a check box to turn it on or off. This is easier than looking through the phone with a hex editor.

FYI, I just discovered that MoST will sometimes truncate filenames deleting the first few letters. For example, instead of displaying custwakeup.gif for the boot up gif, it will display twakeup.gif.

Thanx, I've opened p2kTools VS. Then to sounds and clicked on Gain_table.bin, download from phone, hour glass starts, stops and nothing shows up. All values in all screens (ie: main gain-Speakers_ headsets, etc are zero. How do change the right one?

[pioneeringelements]

Hmmm. Now that you mention it, I just tried the same thing on my phone and had the same problem you had. I also used MoST to download the "n_table.bin" file. (for me, MoST removes the first three chars of some file names, so I think this is actually gain_table.bin) Opening this file in a gain table editor called MotoSound did not work. The file had really weird values and MotoSound gave me an error message. Next, I opened this file in a hex editor and compared it to the v3 gains table posted at http://hackthev3.com/modifications_p...torola_v3.html. The gain_table is definately different on my phone. This is not the first file I've found on my v3re that doesn't have the expected contents. I don't know what to do to change the gains, but I'm going to leave it alone on my phone, at least until someone can figure it out.

[tlhtr]

Thanks again, at least I'm not the only one this happens to. Since I'm a real newbie to this modding stuff. I guess I'll follow your lead and wait till someone more knowledgable than me figures it out.

[HeyItsTJ4]

For gain_table mod, I used the seem map here: http://modmymoto.com/wiki/index.php/Razr_v3_seem_map for setting my volume levels, although I set some at my own desired levels. I used Motosound 1.2.0.8.
1. Click connect at the bottom if not already connected.
2. Then click Load|From Phone, and wahhlah here are your values, change as desired.
3. Click Save|To Phone
Presto you then have a modded gain_table.bin. Or you can download mine here: http://rapidshare.com/files/80400696/gain_table.rar

I think you are right! I thought I read that somewhere.

[pioneeringelements]

Thanks! I was using a different version of motosound (1.304 RC 2) and nothing worked. I tried your version and it loaded all the values from my phone just fine.
