1. How to flash my device ?

To flash devices please use 'PST' program. The program is avaliable there :

http://www.moorhopper.de/PST_7.2.3.rar

If you couldn't find 'PST', please go to www.filemirrors.com and search there 'PST'.

2. I can't send MMS and connecting via GPRS. I also have only one of three green things near to network icon.

Activate seem nr 010a_0001 - bit 0. Please use p2kseem application for PC. You have to do it just one time.

When you don't use GPRS or MMS you will have just one of three green things near to network icon. It's normal! Don't worry about it! When you will use one of this types of transmission, second green things near to network icon will activate automaticly.

p2kseem is downloable there :

3. I mount new operator logo but i still see old operator logo.

Set option 'Flight mode' and restart device. Now copy new logo operator file (please name file like this : gsm.bmp) i set option 'Headset on'. Best width fot operator logo is 150 pixels.

4. How to change icons for Battery, Bluetooth, AGPS etc. ?

Copy new icon files (mbm's bitmaps) to 'C:\system\data' i restart your device.

5. How to enable startup animation ?

Make a new animation files (mp4's video) and copy them to device :

List of files to put on drive C :

[Startup animation]

.C:\documents\Startup\hutchison.mp4 <- animation with '3' logo

.C:\documents\Startup\motoshutdown.mp4 <- animation 'Motorola while shutdown device

.C:\documents\Startup\motostartup.mp4 <- animation 'Motorola' while startup device

You have to create new folder and call it as 'Startup'.

6. How to install including install package ?

Run MDS and run 'Symbian update.sis' and 'DefaultAIF.sis'.

7. What is 'Default.aif' file ?

Control Panel request this file to correct work. Location on this file is 'C:\system\data'. If you select Master Reset/Clean, this file would be remove by system! Please check it and eventually reinstall this install packages.

8. How to change bitmaps i sounds ?

[BITMAPS]

List of files to put on drive C :

. C:\system\data\QSBAlertMode.mbm <- Alert mode
. C:\system\data\QSBBattery.mbm <- battery
. C:\system\data\qsbbluetooth.mbm <- Bluetooth
. C:\system\data\QSBLocation.mbm <- GPS
. C:\system\data\QSBMsg.mbm <- text messages
. C:\system\data\qsbnetworksignallevel.mbm <- network coverage
. C:\system\data\qsbtelephony.mbm <- phone calling
. C:\system\data\QSBVK.mbm <- keyboard
. C:\system\Programs\QSPLASH.mbm <- boot-screen (default 'Motorola')

[SOUNDS]

List of files to put on drive C :

. C:\system\accconn.wav <- connecting USB/COM cable, Bluetooth, Infrared or headset
. C:\system\accdisc.wav <- disconnecting USB/COM cable, Bluetooth, Infrared or headset
. C:\system\apps\cameracapture\sound\shutter.wav <- making a photo

After installed or mounted new files you will have to restart your device.

9. I have error message 'Access denied' when I install 'Symbian update.sis'. How to fix it ?

Go to 'C:\System\Apps\Now' and uncheck read only attributte of 'now_snack.mbm' and try to install 'Symbian update.sis' once again.

10. When is run Default-Gprs Editor appication i get this information : 'Default-Gprs Editor not found'. How can i fix it ?

1. Make backup of Disk C using Motorola Desktop Suite (option BACKUP)

2. Do 'Master Clear'

3. Restore your Disk C using 'RESTORE' option in MDS

... and now You are happy because of correctly working Default-Gprs Editor.

-> Next you will have to reconfigure settings of :

. Activate 900/1800 Mhz frequency by RadioComm if you don't use UMTS network
. Activate seem nr 010a_0001 - bit 0
. Home screen
. Internet accounts
. Master volume level
. Name of your device for Bluetooth in Control Panel
. Numbers of Voicemail, Videomail and Video Gateway
. Phone application
. Ringtunes for Phone application
. Type of Vibration in 'Ringtune manager'

This problem always refer flashing your device via flash type 'small' to version REL 30.80.54 or smaller. In next versions of my flash this problem won't be repeating.

This problem doesn't refer flashing your device via flash type 'full' to version REL 30.80.54 or higher, because this flash always erases Disk C. But you will have to change name of default internet account form 'Internet' to "Default-Gprs' if you want to use Default-Gprs Editor application.
