Sync Motorola RAZR V3c with Windows XP via Bluetooth?

thanks for the info

I tried your steps and it worked, but it seems that Verizon blocks file transfer capability from my phone, and so having bought and set up a bluetooth adaptor was to no avail. If you know a way around the restrictions, I'd love to know it.

Any way to hack around Verizon's blocked file transfer. It is outrageous that Verizon wants to charge 25 cents per photo taken off the phone (the cost of a picture message).

Thanks.

Alas, I don't know how to hack around it. Try using the Bluetooth capabilities, however, as it worked for me. If you can't get that to work, do check out http://www.howardforums.com/ as they have a lot of really sharp phone folk who do all sorts of amazing things to their cellphones. :-)

I specialize in wireless connections with mobile phones, and according to the information that I currently have, Verizon have disabled the Obex/file transfer capability of the RAZR V3c.
They have done this before with other phone models (and suffered), but appear to have done it again.

The short answer to the question "Is there a hack/workaround" is "No".

In my experience the only option is to reflash the phone's firmware - which is EXTREMELY risky, and if Verizon are smart they will only allow their branded phones onto the network (ie if you reflashed the firmware with another operators firmware, the Bluetooth might begin working but you won't be able to operate on the Verizon network). And of course you'll void any warranty.

I was wondering if the bluetooth OBEX link would work with my verizon razr (I plan on buying bluetooth for my laptop) I have S/W Version GATW_01.0F.03

Chuck, I purchased a bluetooth adapter and have the same software version as you and it does not work. I have been unable to find a "fix" and I am beginning to think there isn't one until verizon is forced to enable it on this phone as they have on others.

Thanks steve I've been trying to like my razr over the computer through usb (using motorola phone tools) but that doesn't seem to work. The only solution I have found was using a 3rd party program and I was only able to transfer pictures from my phone to my computer. I know if your flashback your razr to a previous software version the bluetooth and usb transfers would work but its not worth the risk of damageing the phone. Does anyone know if verizon will or can be forced to enable data transfer. I heard of a similar problem which ended in legal action being taken.

Chuck, what was the third party program? I just need to get a photo off this damn phone, it's too big to e-mail. AAAARGH. Why, Verizon, Why?

I actually found a way to use the motorola phone tools to get pics off the phone and to use all the other features the MPT has to offer. I wish i could remember the site to give the person credit for this. but here goes:
Once you have the phone tools installed open er up. Bring up the menu then go to Setup->General Setup. Now click the communication tab and then click the change modem button. When asked to select a device click add.. then just hit next until asked to specify a modem. Then choose the Motoral E815m and finish up. Now you should be able to click on the multimedia studio icon and open that up and get all your pictures and even create ringtones and all that. But i also read that the calendar doesn't quite work, so dont click on that icon.. Hope this helped some

Whoops.. sorry about my first post.. i didn't get it quite right. i didn't have my phone infront of me to try out what i was saying. So here goes again. Once you get Motorola Phone tools working with the V3c click in the middle of the circle on the phone "Menu" button. the do Setup->General Setup. Click the Communications tab. Then click change modem button. Then select the Motorola USB Modem. Click next. Check the box that says "Do not automatically detect the driver. Select from a list" then click next. Click Motoral CDMA and select the E815m under device model. Then next and click finish. Now you should be able to do all the multimedia studio stuff.. and then disclaimer about the Calendar still applies... There.. now i hope that works for ya

For those of you interrested in bluetooth verizon phones, the Nokia 6256i is mostly un-crippled by verizon and the Moto815 is easily hacked.

I tried what Brandon said using MPT and switching it to think it was talking to e815m but couldn't get that to work either. I have a razr v3c from Verizon and am really annoyed that they cripple phones like that. Anyone else have any luck without flashing the phone?

I wrote to Motorola about the Calendar problem and this is what they had to say:

"Regarding your inquiry, unfortunately the Verizon V3c and V325 does not have the calendar feature with Motorola Phone tools because this phone has a different software interface that generates problem during the calendar synchronization. We are working with Verizon to get the phone software updated in order to make that feature available.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you."

Sigh, time to switch carriers. This Verizon crap is getting old. How shortsighted.

Are there any new models of Motorola RAZR planned for 2006 that will be operable with Verizon that will go back to using the Motorola programs, rather than the really poor Verizon programming changes.

Thanks!

Guys, let's all of us call Verizon and complain about this. Having bluetooth was one of the main reasons that I bought the RAZR and it really sucks that they have disabled it.

So much for Verizon. I was planning on getting the v3c as an upgrade (you know, get a discount on a new phone, sign up for 2 years.) This is a deal breaker. My contract is up in November. I'll be changing carriers. I understand if they have a committment to that get it now crap, but I've never used it, and never will. Costs too much for what you get.

Thanks, Dave. I'm not sure you intended on hosting a verizon-bashing web site, but I for one am appreciative of the information.

I have been reading a lot about the Motorola V3c from Verizon lately. I purchased the phone with a new plan not long ago, and i am looking to move my photos and other things to my PC. Now im wondering if this is even possible. Is there any way to transfer the photos and such to a PC whether it be by a Bluetooth connecter or the USB connecter? If so, which ones?

I understand everything about your tutorial given above, but i am still confused as to what kind of Bluetooth device that i need to buy for my PC so i can actually connect to the phone? Any suggestions as to what i should get?

"Confused", just about any bluetooth peripheral for your computer will work. I have looked at a variety of USB "dongle" style Bluetooth devices at CompUSA and similar and they'll work great. You should be able to get a decent one for about $30 or so. Here's an Amazon link to one, for example:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006B7DB/ref=ase_davetaylor/102-8679961-4741706

That's a D-Link adapter for about $35 that'd work great for either a Mac or PC.

Funny. I own a MacBook Pro, with Windows XP running on it using Boot Camp (beta).

I flashed my Verizon RAZR V3c phone to a previous firmware and am able to do file transfer when my MacBook Pro is running OS X (using info I found on this site as well as others). However, I cannot transfer files when in Windows XP.

So it seems that even with previous firmware where Verizon did not block bluetooth OBEX, it still doesn't work on Windows XP?

When it comes to the Verizon V3C and Bluetooth OBEX File Transfers...

To check which version you have... On the phone.... Menu -> Setting & Tools -> System -> Device Info -> Other Info -> S/W Version

GATW_01.0F.02 Initial Verizon release version. Either by "accident" or for some other reason, the ability to do Bluetooth OBEX File Transfers as well as make use of the MultiMedia Studio (aka MMS) features of Motorola Phone Tools (aka MPT) are ENABLED, and no hacks/seem edits are needed.

GATW_01.0F.03 current Verizon release version. There are NO release notes as to what was fixed. HOWEVER Bluetooth OBEX File Transfers do NOT work and it appears the actual CODE has been removed from the phone. Also, the ability to use the MultiMedia Studio features of MPT are now DISABLED on the phone, BUT a seem edit will fix this (Seem 2742, Bytes (h) 90, Record 1, Offset 6A, set Bit0=1 or "check the box").

Now, when it comes to the recently released .04 firmware update..

OBEX File Transfer and MPT's MultiMedia Studio capabilites with .04, depend on what your phone had BEFORE it was upgraded to .04...

in other words...
.02 or .02 directly upgraded to .04 = BT OBEX File Transfers & MPT's MMS works.
.03 or .03 directly upgraded to .04 = BT Obex File Transfers are NOT possible, and MPT's MMS works only after Seem Edit.

Thanks Mark - yes what you wrote is how I understand it. And I verified that my phone is using S/W version GATW_01.0F.02. I know at this version, I am OBEX enabled, because I have no trouble browsing the device when using OS X.

It's just strange that on the Windows XP side, the only service that appears to be available is DUN. I can't even find the screen that Dave Taylor has pasted above where you get to choose the service.

I suppose it's possible that since I am running Windows XP on a MacBook Pro, that I am using drivers written by Apple for the bluetooth device on my MacBook Pro. And thus, maybe that driver has some differences in how I can select services from my phone? That doesn't sound right to me ...

hey guys .. i am new v3c owner as well.
The only difference is that my carrier is telus mobility (Canada) and not verizon ..

anyways, my telus version v3c razr has OBEX File transfer, however my previous phone, Moto V710 (similiar to e815) had all bluetooth services crippled. I hate it out how carriers can do that. With regards to what everyone has said, I've been transfering pics/mp3s/etc. to and from my pc easily with no problems. I've done a few v3c;s before I had my own to do and have had no problems at all.

Just a few things:

Dave Taylor - great post . I never knew how to use windows xp and establish a bluetooth connection with the v3c. I use Motorola Phone Tools. Question. Did you not have to download the drivers for the v3c before you could even recognize it in Windows XP?

Brandon: The post you created explaining how to use it with Motorola Phone Tool. GReat as well. Couldn't have explained in shorter and as clear as you.

Devansh- you said you chose the e815m. you need to download the drivers for the actual motorola razr v3c. you should then see this model as a choice to choose from, and thus not have to 'fool' it by trying e815m. Search the net and you will find the drivers. I did about a month ago.

Hey Neal - how do I go about flashing my RAZR to a previous version of the firmware?

Thanks,
Adam

Hey - I have a Motorola razor (V3c) w/Verizon service. I have to thank the hints on this message board for getting my multimedia studio working. It's really cool to be able to crop and fade/in out any of my favorite MP3s and then use them as ringtones.

I installed Motorola Phone tools, then **avoided** the liveupdate to a newer version. This allowed me to see a darkened/disabled icon for multimedia studio, which wasn't even present in the updated version. I then just followed Brandon's post to change the model to CDMA/e815m. The multimedia studio icon lit up. It works great!

If you do the liveupdate, you see a model of the phone you have (in my case the razor), but there isn't even an icon for multimedia studio.... which is what I bought the software for in the first place. Maybe it's possible to use liveupdate now that I have the multimedia studio working and not lose it, but I'm not going to mess with it.

Okay, I have purchased a Bluetooth USB key, installed WIDCOMM drivers and successfully paired my phone with the computer. When I try to locate services through bluetooth on the phone, it cant find any. However, my friend has the same phone and uses his bluetooth which is built-in on his laptop and he is able to transfer files with no problem. My S/W version is GATW_07.03.01P and my phone carrier is Bell Mobility in Canada. Help?

Re: Razr V3C (Verizon) GATW_01.0F.03 and all the good stuff locked out.

The only way I got anything to work was to flash back to V .02 using rsd lite 2.5 (from http://www.cyguru.com/RSD_Lite.zip ) and
GATW_X_01.0F.02P_PRIhh14145_SuperUpgrade_02_BOOT6500_X_R21.1_V1.8.1P.shx (can't remember where I found it).
Easy directions from http://whatsbruin.net/2006/03/25/software-downgrade/ (even a dummy (me) could make it work.

I just bought the pink razr from verizon and this isnt a huge deal but the wallpaper doesn't show up on the front of the phone, it only shows up on the home screen. The front shows everything except where the wallpaper should be is orange and its kind of annoying after paying for everything on the phone to work...is there some way to fix this or is it just a problem with the phone?

I had a v3c and it transfered files back and forth as it should. on the 5th of May the phone met its demise in my pool. Once replaced I was stoked all my contacts were recovered and I had a phone that was upgraded. Now I'm not so stoked, I have version .04 and my computer gives me an error message of "remote device does not support service". This is Chapped. I am going in to the verizon store tonight to get some answers on this.

I bought a USB Dongle from "Cyber Blue" (Cheapest i could find) and installed the included software. I tried to use the native software that came with the Adapter but it has not worked. For some reason it cannot connect. I am trying to find the Bluetooth Setup Wizard on Windows XP (SP2) but i can't seem to find it. Are there any other programs you recommend that might be able to help me connect and transfer my pictures from my V3c?

Hi Dave, in response to your feedback regarding, "Sync Motorola RAZR V3c with Windows XP via Bluetooth?"... The error I get is, "File transfer not enabled". I have been reading plenty of articles and they all seem to say that it can't be done with the V3C. Perhaps I should be a bit clearer. The firmware version I have is GATW_01.15.04 I read that GATW_01.15.04P would allow me to transfer files but the Verizon store said only if I had the Pink RAZR??? Help!!! Thanks..

I have a question:
Im new with the V3c from verizon and my version is S/W GATW_05.02.00R. Am i able to use MPT? and does verizon sell this application? I really need help here. Thanks

Re: Posted by: Brandon at April 4, 2006 02:40 PM

I tried it on the Motorola V325 with Phone tools v3.28, it doesn't work. Multimedia function doesn't appear at all. I cannot download photos from phone to PC. Thanks.

Is there any 3rd party software that can allow the transfer of pictures? DataPilot (http://www.datapilot.com/phones_motorola.htm) doesn't seem to support V325. This one http://www.elitextreme.com/mov3usbdaca3.html claims it can, not sure what software it uses.

Interesting posts – I have a V3c RAZR – GATW 01.15.04. I found the Hand Set Manager from Mobile Action Technology Inc (www.mobileaction.com) software to allow file and photo transfer to computer only, and contacts & messaging with sync. Although this must be done with there cable, Costs $50 and only 4 out of the 10 functions work with this version of phone. Not being able to xfer files TO the phone turned me away from it, but if you need to xfer to your PC it will work.

I have the verizon Razr V3m and Im having quite some trouble with USB data transfer and bluetooth. I do have bluetooth on one of my laptops and it works fine but I follow the steps and when i get to the Bluetooth Service Selection part the OBEX File Transfer does not even appear there. If It helps here is my S/W Version NEWC_01.05.0A

Please help. This is tough stuff.
E-mail answer here please.

I have the v3m and was able to transfer pics from the phone using the free BitPim software (available for Linux, OSX, or Windows) from www.bitpim.org and a regular mini usb cable. I'm not sure of the compatibility with the v3c, but it sure helped me out!

Hey... I have done everything that you've posted... I've even successfully switched the versions of S/W... I still dont get the OBEX option that you get. I have bluetooth... I have everything. Is there maybe a way via the USB cable?

ive done everything but when i go to dial up networking what number should i dial? i dialed my cell phone's number and several other but every time it doesnt go through kinda like a dropped call, and it says the remote computer did not respond....i am so close!!! bet yet far away HELP!!!

Hey there, I just bought the NEW Moto razr v3m and I downloaded The MSU P2k And driver tools and tthe usb works fine...but its way too risky playin around with those commands

but i want it to work with bluetooth and I do have bluetooth and the connection worked amazing but then
OBEX kicked in and blocked my connect..

Hi,
I've tried setting up my bluetooth RAZR v3 phone with my ibm thinkpad (windowsxp)from work...

I was able to go through all of the above steps w/o a problem but when I go to the directory where my 'folders' are supposed to automatically appear , nothing appears.

This is my first bluetooth accessory and first time using on my lap top.

So yeah...everything went fine but when I go to "my bluetooth places" from my desk top, nothing appears :-(.

Also, I have cingular...I guess I'm ignorant though bcz they promised I was getting a windows enabled (smart) phone...but it's not :p---I should've brought someone who knows about this stuff with me--or better yet looked online before I bout it--but I digress.

Can someone please help me w/ the my bluetooth places problem?

Thank you :o),
Julie

Also, I have cingular...not verizon.

Can someone please help me w/ the my bluetooth places problem?

AH! almost forgot to mention one thing...after I did the steps above...if I scroll through my PHONE...I can hear the audio (key volume, etc) on my LAP TOP speakers. AND, If I "copy" a picture from my phone to send to my lap top via bluetooth, I get the message that the "Bluetooth link is busy."

What did I do wrong :(...

Thank you :o),

Hi,

I just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless support. They said "We are in the business of making money, and there is money in pictures."

They have disabled the functions in the phone that will allow you to transfer files.

The only way Verizon wants you to transfer pictures is through their network, and of course at their prices.

Hey yall, i have cinguler, a razr v3 (i think) running flex version GSMV3MXCIN01NA0F5 and s/w version R374_G_0E.42.10R_A and i followed all of your steps and it worked great, however when i go to my bluetooth places and try to browse my phone it just errors out with "Error establishing connection:" you can see the blue bluetooth light on the top of the phone flashing when you try to browse it thou, any thoughts? I did find out that the phone password to get to the locked options on my phone was "1234" trial and error took me one try :)

Howdy all. I am a new Verizon customer and like many of you I purchased the RAZR V3m for all the same reasons listed above and am now finding out I am bound for eternity to pay for the things that i was trying to avoid. I was really disapointed when I couldnt share files with my PC directly and sought a way to make it happen. I did install the expanded memorty in my phone and it would seem that I am able to tranfer data to it. While I have not used it to transfer MP3 files and ringtones I was wondering if utilizing a flash drive on my laptop would be the ticket to doing these seemless file transfers that I so desire, instead of using and purchasing all these useless applications from the big V. If any one has tried this and been successful with a back and forth transfer of Pics, music and tingtones let all of us know. Just a thought but still dont know yet if it will work, gotta git the flash drive first. T

I sent the entire upper echelon of Verizon a letter concerning the RAZR and Motorolla Phone Tools (MPT). Concisely, Verizon stated:"customers are bound to the terms [which remain] disclosed [during] the purchase of a RAZR" (yep, it's there). Apparently, "customers" should read the fine print prior to purchasing a phone from Verizon, regardless of what, say, a manufacturer like Motorolla provides or advertises. Further, I suggested: "it's like purchasing a New Ford Mustang and being told that I need a subscription to OnStar to access my trunk! Making reference to Verizon hijacking MPT, by requiring purchases via "Get-it-Now"! Certainly, if this happened @ your local Ford dealership, heads would roll!
respectfully, THE HIJACKER

please post me a bluetooth software .thank you

Hi,
I did every step up to putting in the passkey and it did connect but only have one selection for the services the com port and no obex file transfer. Need Help.........Thanks..Gary

how do i get the bluetooth setup wizard i have windows xp sp2 but i cant find the bluetooth setup ?

where do you get teh bluetooth program??

wow thanks for this. really helped me out.

I just purchased a new Razr V3T from Rogers (in Canada) and I have cropped mp3s in preparation for using them as ringtones, but I cannot seem to get my computer to recognise my phone. I tried using a USB port, but now I'm wondering if I need something else. I tried to use the Bluetooth to have my computer recognise my phone and that didn't work either. What do I have to do in order to transfer mp3s to my phone and thereafter make those mp3s into ringtones? Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to reconnect my phone to my laptop, but I do not get a prompt to type in a passkey for the computer. When the phone asks me for a passkey, I do not know it. I have tried 0000, 1234, my atm codes, and all other codes that I could have possibly used. does anyone have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Steve

I am having a motorola v3v with a sync and dont know how to go with it, how do i configure it? or what is the use of it?

What really is sync?

I've been reading through the comments. Bell Mobility has also crippled bluetooth on my e815, which I only discovered after wasting much time. However, my ipaq can do obex transfers to the phone.

Any thoughts on why I can do transfers with my PDA, but not through XP?????

will it work with a motorola V3 Razr? Email back

hey ..um it discovered a problem with my "moterola cingular razor" . when i went to my PC desktop and i clicked "bluetooth Setup Wizard" this thing popped up and said "no local bluetooth device was found". and it would not let me get pitcture from my phone to my computer. please write back

what if I dont have the bluetooth wizard setup on my computer how can I access it??

ok it's obvious that most ppl post here and don't read ... Verizon HAS disabled the features you are trying to access ... you must use their network to transfer files ...

I have xp sp2 but cannot find the bluetooth setup wizard (nothing on bluetooth in the control panel or anywhere). I've looked all over microsoft's site and can't see where to correct the problem.

I was going to just download sp2 again to see if I could get the bluetooth capabilities that way but, of course, updates won't let me since I already have it (although I'm sure there's ways around it).

Please help

hey listen the razors have a place to put a mem card - if you get the adaptor for your pc or have one that you use with your psp u can trans files that way and it should work fine

anybody knows where to get the software?

The mem card is a good solution to the ones that want to download files from the phone but the phone will not recognize any file from the pc to the mem card.

Hi Dave I have a razr v3c and my laptop does not have bluetooth but however I have a connection cable to connect my phone to my Windows Xp, but i have had some problems accessing the phone, seeing as the the computer does not recognize it and won't let me into the phone. How can I correct this problem and access my phone from my computer?

Great tutorial, but it seems I'm having problems. With my old RAZR it was easy, I could just send things. But now I have the new one and I cannot find a send option. I decided to follow your tutorial for set up, but when I go to My Bluetooth places to click on the wizard, it tells me "no loca bluetooth device found" but my bluetooth is on and my phone is discoverable. I know my computer can see it because I tried sending from my computer to the phone and it connected, but said it wasnt supporting OBEX or whatever, which I figured was related to not having set it up...but I cant because it wont fine it!!!

I was just wondering if there was anywhere out there that you could download a bluetooth program for free.

Just a couple observations...

Stop looking for bluetooth software to download. Reread from the top and you will see this:
-First off, if your PC has bluetooth-
If you can't find bluetooth on your computer then go to the store and by a bluetooth usb adapter for $30. You can't just download software - you need hardware first.

If you want to do normal things like transfer music and photos between your computer and your phone and can find no easy way to do it, you'll probably have to hack your phone or pay your service provider their blood money. In normal language, hacking means you'll have to edit the phone's programming. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY MESS STUFF UP in your phone and void your warranty.
If you want access to the services that your service provider has hijacked (or 'phonejacked') but you're too scared of the potential to damage hacking your phone can cause then stop crying, just pay Verizon their blood-money, and move on.

When setting up the phone in Motorola Phone Tools, use v3cm instead of v3c. This will allow your Verizon phone to have a calendar function. No multimedia...but the calendar is fully functional.

Verizon's restrictions are starting to get really annoying. I have a Moto KRZR K1m and I just bought the Moto Tools and USB Data cable. I bought it so I could download pictures from my phone to my computer and also for ringtones. I have just discovered that I cannot do this and the only thing it will alow me to do is sync my contacts. Does anyone know a hack or some type of way to solve this? PLS.

The tip about setting the configuration to use the Motoral E815m worked for me. I had to uninstall the Motorola Phone Tools software and install it again without the updates.

Thank you guys!!!

Hi everybody, I have been reading your comments on bluetooth and motorola, I have a v3v and have several pictures in it but my computer has no bluetooth, does someone know how can I transfer them in another way?

Motorola V3M "Sync Music" Connectivity Download Fix Instructions

The following are step by step instructions for downloading and running an automated script on your PC to reset the incorrect values in the Windows Registry.

Note: You must have Windows Media Player 10 installed & running on the PC originally used to Sync with the handset. Turn on your Motorola V3m and connect to PC using the data cable that comes with the Music Essentials Kit.

From your web browser, go to Phones and Devices Support and select the "Motorola V3m". At the bottom in the download section, look for the following executable file: Sync Music Fix.
Open that file on the affected PC to run the program. Upon completion it will display a dialog box showing "Done".
Power the phone off.
Disconnect the USB cable from the PC & the phone.
Power the phone on
Reconnect the phone to the PC with the USB cable
On the phone, go to MENU> Get It Now>Get Tunes & Tones>Sync Music. Windows Media Player will launch automatically and connect if it is installed and Selected. The phone should now show "Connected".
