Motorola Phone Tools Linux Razr V3
Have older version of Motorola's Phone Tools - does not support the V3a (though the V3c is in its list) Wrote to BVRP - no response. Thus what is the. Hi, I was wondering if someone has experience in syncing Razr V3 calendar and music with linux based computer? I´m planning on buying Razr V3xx and I.
Transfer ringtones created in to a Motorola Razr in Linux using. This article will outline how to get moto4lin on an Ubuntu Breezy system and transfer files to the Motorola RAZR v3 using a mini-usb cable. I had to compile, an alpha motorola filesystem viewer, to transfer files through USB. Install the compiler, development libraries, and download the required files : $ sudo aptitude install g libusb-dev libqt3-headers $ wget $ wget $ tar zxvfj moto4lin-0.3.tar.bz2 $ tar zxvf p2kmoto-0.1-rc1.tar.gz Compile and install p2kmoto and moto4lin. I like to compile using my home directory as the prefix so when my OS goes haywire I can recover the files I've custom compiled.: $ cd p2kmoto-0.1 $./configure -prefix=$HOME/local && make && make install $ cd moto4lin-0.3 $./configure -prefix=$HOME/local && make && make install Now plug up your phone and execute moto4lin as root (make sure /local/bin is in your PATH).
You should be able to click the Connect/Disconnect button. At this point the filesystem should be available. Ringtones Next the ringtones have to be created.
The Motorola RAZR V3 happens to support mp3 ringtones, however they have to fit the following criteria in order to work properly: File Type Sampling Frequency Bit Depth Mono/Stereo Bit-rate (kbps) MP3 44.1kHz 16 Mono 64 MP3 24kHz 16 Stereo 40 MP3 24kHz 16 Mono 40 MP3 16kHz 16 Stereo 40 MP3 16kHz 16 Mono 32 That will make more sense once we install audacity and start a new project. We'll also need the mp3 encoding library later, so we can go ahead and download and compile that too. $ sudo aptitude install audacity $ wget $ tar zxvf lame-3.97b2.tar.gz $ cd lame-3.97 $./configure -prefix=$HOME/local && make && make install Now run audacity. Select a project rate of 44100Hz (at the bottom) and click 'New Audio Track' in the 'Project' menu. This is where you'll paste your sound clip.
In the same window, open your the WAV file of that mp3 you're itching to hear on your phone. I used the audacity Trim function in the Edit menu to get the part of the track I wanted to be a ringtone. Then hit CTRL-A to select all of the track and CTRL-C to copy it. Then click back over to your empty audio track and hit CTRL-V to paste the audio into your Mono 44.1kHz track. Now we have to set the proper MP3 encoding bittrate. Choose Preferences from the File menu and '40' as the bittrate. Now, click 'Export as MP3' from the File menu.
Audacity will prompt you to tell it where your lame mp3 encoding library is. Point to the appropriate file, hit Ok and the export MP3 window should be available. Tell audacity where to save the file and voila, you've made an MP3 Ringtone. Almost there.
Now if your phone is still hooked up, go to moto4lin, connect to your phone, and click on the 'audio' directory within the mobile's filesystem. Click upload, then select the ringtone. Next, delete the two Motorola database files 'MyToneDB.db' and 'TempToneDB.db' from the audio directory. I'm not exactly sure what these files do, but I do know that they will not allow you to 'Attach as Ringtone' or allow you to select your MP3 from the 'Calls' menu within the RAZR. Hold down the red disconnect button to turn off the phone, then turn it back on.
At this point, make sure the phone is not set to Silent or Vibrate. Go to Audio from your 'My Stuff' icon and select your ringtone. Then hit menu (dot) button above the select pad to bring up the menu options. Select 'Apply as Ringtone.' Finally, ask someone to call you.
Homebrew ringtones on the Motorola RAZR V3. Don Says: I’ve successfully compiled both moto4lin and p2kmoto, but have had no luck so far with my pebl u6. I’m not even sure it’s supported. In moto4lin, I’ve changed the settings to /dev/ttyACM0 (which my computer does recognise when it is plugged in) but when I click connect it says “phone is busy. Try again.” and then “unable to connect.” I followed your link and directions on setting up kmobiletools, and it successfully read my phone, accessed the phone book and SMS, and as much fun as that is, it doesn’t help me connect with moto4lin.
So I’m not sure where to go from here, if I can even go anywhere as it is. Has anyone ever gotten a pebl to work yet? Jay Turpin Says: If your having problems connecting as P2K, try this recommendation found on: Try putting in a bogus number in the Settings – Preferences – AT Product ID.
Something like 1234. That did the trick for me. Also, you need to fix the installation instructions to this: sudo aptitude install g libusb-dev libqt3-headers wget wget tar jxvf moto4lin-0.3.tar.bz2 tar zxvf p2kmoto-0.1-rc1.tar.gz #Compile and install p2kmoto cd p2kmoto-0.1 sudo./configure –prefix=/usr/local && make && make install #Compile and install moto4lin cd./moto4lin-0.3 qmake && make sudo make install That fixed a couple of the problem I encountered on a fresh Edgy installation. Morphic Says: Also wanted to mention that moto4lin can now be installed via aptitude or apt-get. Says: Hi, I just tried to use your amazing tool (on Fedora 7 through rpm installation).

I reached to connect and upload the mp3 ringtone on a RAZR v3i (and delete the two db files as you told). But in spite of this I can’t see any new file under the “sounds” menu even after a restart. It seems that db files are recreated after the phone restart, and it seems that they keep the same size. – Is case of the mp3 file name important? – If mp3 encode frequency is not exactly as you told, may mp3 file not appear in menu?
Sorry for my english and thank you for any help. Megamustache Says: Ok guys, I’m running Gutsy but I started at the top of this page (after hours tracking down other possibilities). Never did get a good compile, too many no’s and unavailables. I did the get-apt referenced Sep 3, 07, followed the directions and now my V3 (G?) is recognized but. Took the battery out to see which version I have and after turning it back on it works.
At least the files are being read. Hot dog guys, you don’t know how good if feels after wasting six hours on this I’m absolutely ecstatic. I can skip the mood meds tonight!!!! Thanks guys, you just got another quarter inch added to your karma pools. Archie Says: I have a Verizon V3m, I’m running Xandrous Destop 4.1 (home edition)and moto4lin Ver0.03. I tried usb serial because moto4lin would not connect.
