Motorola RAZR V3
Firmware Upgrade
Hello all,
I would like to know how I could upgrade my current V3, which got from Cingular, to a fully functional and not Cingular oriented as it currently is. In other words some of the themes, ring tones, im capabilities, etc that are available on the V3’s out of Europe would be a welcomed addition to a already great phone.
Any ideas or pointers?
Thanks!

You don't need a firmware upgrade to do what you want (stick with 57R or you'll lose ENS). You need to learn about editting the moto seems with a hex editor and using p2kman for data transfers.
Here's a link to get you started:

Do some searching on www.howardforums.com and you'll find all the info you need. (Caveat: do your searching and homework before you post questions about modding your phone or the people on that board will toast you for not doing so.)

This site has some good stuff for unbranding the Razr:

By searching and reading on howardforums.com, I now have a Razr with custom menus, manual network selection, Field Test modes, and no Cingular branding, just to name a few of the modes...

I do not recommend flashing or flexing your phone. The modifcations I made are purely seem editting and file transfers.
A seem edit consists of copying the appropriate seem file from the phone, flipping a couple of bits in the file with a hex editor, and transfering the file back to the phone.
The menu mods consist of copying the mma_ucp file from the phoone, using a hex editor or other tool to modify it, and transfering the file back to the phone.
Always make backups first...
