Flashing a Verizon V3c to Alltel and Using Humpa’s MMS Server

Items you will need
 

• USB cable to connect to the Razr
• Motorola PST Programmer Software.  Version 7.2.3 is known to work although 7.1.1 may work.
• P2KSeem.   The SD Edition (SuperDave) is easier to use, in my opinion
• Alltel flash file
• A working WAP proxy that you can use and view the connection logs – easiest if you run your own.  HoTTProxy is recommended

Before you start

You will lose all ring tones, pictures and contacts from your phone - either from the flash itself or from the master reset that must be performed.   Before flashing,

• Backup all ring tones
• Backup up all pictures
• Backup up all contacts

To begin
 

• Install Motorola PST on your computer and verify you can connect to the phone.   There are a multitude of threads covering this on http://www.howardforums.com and http://www.v710.org/mark so assistance will not be covered in these instructions

• If the Razr has never been used, make sure you perform the OTA programming via *228, option 1.
• If you’ve had the Razr, perform a PRL update vie *228, option 2.
• Make sure your Razr will connect to the GIN (Get it Now) catalog.  You’ve probably already done this but if for some reason you just pulled this Razr out of the box, you need to use the data access once before flashing.   GIN is the easy way to accomplish this – just view a few catalog pages and your done.
• Extract the Alltel firmware to a directory on your computer.
• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the c:\Program Files\Motorola\PST directory

• In that directory, locate the executable MultiFlashFlex.exe    

            Double-click on this file to start the flash application

• The following window will appear.  In the lower portion you should see your phone listed and a Connected verifying that the application can communicate with your phone.  If it does not, troubleshoot the PST application further.
  In the top box Flash File Name – click on the browse button and locate the Alltel flash file you extracted from the downloaded archive file
  Then click Start   The flashing will begin.   When the status lists Successful let the phone restart and wait until it has fully restarted and you see the normal screens – this may take 2-3 minutes.

• Perform a Master Clear -  \Settings\Initial Setup\Master Clear
• Perform a Master Reset - \Settings\Initial Setup\Master Reset
• Restart the phone – power off and back on
• On your HoTTProxy server, create a new user – call it A and assign a password of A
• Create a new websession that points to your Hottproxy (or equivalent WAP proxy server).
  
  UserID – A
  Password – A
  GatewayIP – x.x.x.x (your server’s IP address)
  Service Type 1 – HTTP
  Port 1 – 9201 (default WAP port – enter the port you configured your Hottproxy for)
  
   
• Select the new websession and verify you can access the homepage defined on your HottProxy server
• Start Motorola PST and minimize it.
• Start P2KSeem
• Load the following SEEM from the Razr
  
  SEEM - 2742     Record-0001    Bytes-0090
  Go to offset 62 and enable bit 5

• Restart the phone (using the Restart Phone button) and then disconnect the USB cable
• Go to \Inbox\Options\Inbox Setup\MMS Message Setup\Server Info\Options\New
• Service Name – anything you want
  Server Name – full URL to the Humpa script you have installed, or Humpa’s server – should end in send.php
  Websession name – select the websession you just created
• Exit back to the main menu.
• Take a picture.  Select “Send to an Online Album”
• It will fail.
• Go view the HoTTProxy logs in the HoTTProxy admin tool. You should see several failed attempts to connect.   Write down the username and password that the failed connects used. (see below for example)
  
  
• Create this username and password combination on your HoTTProxy
• Go back to the Websessions menu on the phone and modify your websession to use this username and password.
• Verify the websession still works.
• Now send your pic!
