Not really sure, cos that never happened to me but i would probably first try just restart the phone and software, if that doesn't work, try restarting the computer, then maybe do an uninstall and reinstall.
Have made sure that it is connecting properly and everything?
And did you use my download links?

jinkai,
It just means that the software is using the generic image for the phone instead of an image of your phone. This usually only happens with the lower versions but sometimes it will happen with the higher ones. But if it happens all the time, then there is probably something wrong. Cos it should use your own phone image.
Which version are you using at the moment?

Followed the instructions and whatnot for my V300 but it's still stuck in the "initiallizing..." screen. Except that i updated to 3.28 and they seemed to have changed it to "Please wait..." so i cant really do much. Any suggestions?

For those of you who are having trouble initialising your phones, re-read the original post on this thread. I have put a bit in about what to do if you can't get your phone and computer to initialise.
Good Luck!!

Ah, whenever i went to "setup" and then "new phone" i disconnected the cable from the phone and not my computer. Read your advice and disconnected the usb cable from my computer and now it works. Thank you!

I can see your really helpful Gem, so maybe you can help me. I can open the multimedia portion and it shows the files on my computer, but I cant transfer or see any of the files on my phone. Any ideas?

Has your phone actually initialised by this point (the screen on the phone in the task bar should be green or red, but not white.
The first thing to check is your drivers.

I dont wanna beat a dead horse here, but i'm having a huge problem getting mpt to work. More specifically, the Multimedia itself. I have a Motorola V188, and everything seems to be ok concerning connection, but when i click and go to the multimedia portion of MPT the systray icon goes from green to gray, and upon hovering over it, it says "modem Manager disabled", and won't allow me to do connect with my phone thru multimedia. I then close it, and the phone's icon changes back to green with a strong signal. I have installed all of the MPT updates, and in fact the very first time i used MPT it worked. Now it's no such luck. All I wanna do is add some custom wallpapers, and it's killin' me! If anyone can help or send me to a helpful link it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

hey there... hopefully this topic isnt dead yet since its the most helpful thing i've found but my phone still doesnt connect... im pretty much stuck at the first step when the computer is suppposed to recognize the device... it is not the case, it simply says unknown device and then it says that it has malfunctioned and that i should unplug it and try again.... so then i go and try to add the motorola USB modem myself... which works half the time... and then i do the whole mPT procedure and when i first start it and it tries to detect my phone, nothing ever happens... and when i try to do it manually by switching the modems in the general setup, it simply doesnt work... it tries to query the modem, i.e the phone, and it just times out... please help!

It sounds as though your drivers are the problem. Are you sure that you have downloaded the right set for your operating system?
And did you try the method that is in the instructions? It is after no. 9 and tells you what to do if your phone and computer won't initialise. It doesn't work for everyone but it did for me.
Also try setting it up in different COM Ports (USBs) if it fails to connect. Mine works really well in one particular port but not so well in others.
There is a difference between your front COM ports and your back ports. One is connected directly and the other indirectly, not sure which way round it is though. The one that is directly connected is more likely to connect your phone and computer correctly.
GOOD LUCK!

well when i set it up as a modem, it only gives me COM1.... so i guess thats the only 1 i can use, even thought i got 2 USBs in the front and 2 in the back... what im confused about is why it doesnt recognize my phone at all... it says its an unkown device and it manfunctiones

OK, I have installed this software 4 times now.
Saturday, I loaded the mmpt_1.23c_EN.zip and just the mobilePhoneTools_2.216 update on to my Win2000 machine. I plugged in my new V188. Of course it did not know what it was. I told the software it was a V180, and lo and behold I could upload and download from the phone.
My wife asked me to play with her V180 and see if I could take the ringtones she had purchased off of it. After I connected her phone, I could not get mine to work again. So, I went through live update and upgraded it all the way to 3.28 or whichever is the latest version. Checked it again...nothing.
Unloaded all the software, reloaded it, and nothing. The phone would never initialize. Giving up on this, I uninstalled everything and moved to a laptop computer running XP. Again, I installed the first 2 pieces of software and upgraded from there. It still cannot recognize the V188. I can select it from the list manually, but it will not connect. Just to try and see if maybe my cable was bad, I made a new profile and plugged in the V180. It went through the set-up, and worked perfectly. Unplugged it and put the V188 back on it - it won't connect.
Sounds like a driver issue. I downloaded the p2k drivers, but these are old...2004? The V188 is a new phone(?), aren't there newer drivers somewhere? I did try the other suggestions in this thread, but I can't get anything to work. On the laptop, I only have one USB port, so trying another port will not work.

I'm not sure if there are any newer drivers avaiable but there are a few others that you can try.
Go to
http://www.free.cz/motorola
and try these others drivers:
Motorola_USB_-Modem_..> 30-Jan-2004 16:33 1.2M
Motorola_USB_Modem_D..> 29-Jun-2004 18:22 1.2M
P2K_driver_2.3.zip 29-Jun-2004 18:19 43K
They may not work. But you can try them.

xpLOsive,
If you have 4 USB ports on your pc then they should all be listed. Even if they have something connected to them, they should still be listed.
If it is a laptop, the modem will be connecte to one of the ports, and by the way, there are more COM ports than there are USB ports.
Just in case you were getting confused.
