OK, I found this on another web site. I do not know if this will work, as I have not tried it, but this must be how my phone ended up a QUAD band phone after starting life as a TRI band. If someone can verify this process great, if you use this, USA AT YOUR OWN RISK, I am just passing it on. Several people claimed it worked for them on this web site. Good luck. Lyle

L6 Seem Edit for Quad-Band (step by step)
I've been asked over 20 times now how to do the quadband seem edit for the L6, so I figured I'd just put a post up and direct people to it...
This is information I found around the net on how to do it, and it worked great for me, so here it is:
You?ll need a data cable for this. I?ll show you where to get the drivers and software..
1. Go to www.motomodders.net and register for the forums (for free). This gives you access to the downloads area.
2. After registering, click on the ?Downloads? link at the top, go to ?Software?, and click on ?P2K Software?.
3. Scroll down the page and download the Motorola driver pack.
4. Unzip the driver pack into a folder.
5. On the same webpage at the top, download the P2K Manager software.
6. Unzip this to a folder.
7. Download this file for hex editing: http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas...nload/xvi32.zip.
8. Unzip this software into a folder.
Now that you have all the software you need to do this, we just have to pull the seems from the phone, edit them, and upload them back to the phone. It?s very quick and easy? This was my first seem edit, and it took me about 10 minutes total to get all the software and do this.
Steps to install the phone drivers:
1. Plug the phone into the computer with the data cable. It will bring up the found new hardware wizard.
2. When it asks if you want Windows to find the software automatically or to specify a folder, click on the ?Specify a location? button and browse to the folder you unzipped the Motorola driver pack to.
3. Once this is installed, it will install about 4 other items, which you just point to the Motorola driver pack folder to install these also.
Steps to download the seems:
1. Open the P2K Manager software.
2. After about 5 seconds, the bottom status bar will say ?Connected? if your phone was installed properly.
3. In the bottom of this window, there?s a ?Seem? box. This is where we download and upload the seems. Next to where it says ?From?, type 0025, and next to the ?To? box, type 0025.
4. Press the ?Download Seem? button right below it. It will ask where you want to save this seem. You MUST leave the filename xxxx_yyyy.seem. Once you hit ?Save?, it will save it with the name of 0025_0001.seem onto your computer.
5. Do the same steps as step 4, but enter the seem 0032 in the From and To box.
6. Press ?Download Seem? and then leave the name xxxx_yyyy.seem. It will save this seem as 0032_0001.seem onto your computer.
Make a copy of these 2 seem files into another folder, incase you need to upload them again.
Now, it?s time to edit the seems:
1. Open the XVI32 software. This is a standard hex editing software package.
2. Click on the ?File? menu and choose ?Open?.
3. Browse to the folder where you saved the Seem files.
4. Click on the 0025_0001.seem and click ?Open?.
5. There will only be one piece of information in this file. Click once on the grid where you see the numbers showing up. I believe mine said 00 in the box before I edited it, and in the bottom left status bar, it says ?Adr. Hex: 00?.
6. Click on the ?Tools? menu and choose ?Bit manipulation?.
7. Bit 0 and Bit 3 will have a check in them when you open this window. This sets the phone to 900/1800/1900 band. Leave these checked and put a check in the box for Bit 1. This will change the phone to 850/900/1800/1900.
8. Press the ?Set? button.
9. Now, click on the ?File? menu and click on ?Save?.
The first file is done. It?s time to edit the second file.
1. Stay in the XVI32 software. Click on ?File? and ?Open?.
2. Browse to the folder you saved the seems and open the 0032_0001.seem.
3. There will be a lot more information in this file.
4. Click on the boxes until you see ?Adr. Hex: 50? in the status bar at the bottom.
5. Once you find it, click on ?Tools? menu and ?Bit Manipulation.
6. Put a check in the box for Bit 0. This enables 850 MHz.
7. Press ?Set?.
8. Click on the ?File? menu and click ?Save?.
9. You can close the XVI32 software now.
Now, the seems are edited and ready to be sent back to the phone.
1. Open the P2K Manager software.
2. In the ?Seem? box, next to where it says the word ?Seem?, enter 0025 and in the ?Rec? box to the right of that, enter 0001.
3. Press the ?Upload Seem? button.
4. In the box at the bottom, it should say ?File Upload? <more information> ok.? If it says ?ok? at the end, it means the seem uploaded properly.
5. Now, it?s time to upload the next seem. In the ?Seem? box, enter 0032 and in the ?Rec? box, enter 0001.
6. Press the ?Upload Seem? button. It should say OK at the bottom again.
Now that the seems are uploaded, click on the ?Restart Phone? button on the P2K Manager software. The phone will restart, and possibly lock up for a minute. You can power off the phone and back on again and you will then have a quad band phone.
