Would anybody know where to find the upgrade to Mobile Phone Tools? I downloaded version 1.23 from motclub, but I can't find the 2.23 upgrade anywhere. I have seen links to the BVRP website, but it won't let me dl. I also can't find it on the siterocks website.
BTW, this thread has been very helpful. After reading it I was able to finally find the right drivers and have my computer recognize my V220.
Also, does anyone know what the PST program is for?

I have just found the cable and software for the v220 but the phone tools are 2.16 is this right for the v220 i found it on ebay from a shop called stewart software. Would this be right for this model.

Puzzled,
2.16 will work with your V220. Did you pay for the item on Ebay already? If not you can download 4.1 or 2.21b for free here:
ftp:\\ftp2.bvrp.com/motorola
Then click on the "Maj_mobilePhoneTools.exe". The file says its 4.1 the other you could use is "mobilePhoneTools_2.21b_US-exe" the rest are other languages. Download them both and try the 4.1 1st to see if it works for you. The 2.21b is the version selling on Ebay which should work for you if you follow what XMan2004 did.

Puzzled,
Do you have a friend that can download the 2.21b version along with the USB driver and burn it for you? I imagine that you can get a USB cable at your local phone store or maybe radio-shack and save a few dollars. The 2.16 will work though if you want to go that route.

Go for it. Just make sure you check his feedback section. The 2.16 version will work for a V220, just make sure you tell the program it's a V600; "Thanks to XMan2004".

I just got my V220 to work with Mobile Phone Tools. I don't believe it was mentioned in this thread, but the driver for the phone is called P2k. It is available on the spanish Motclub.com site.
I bought Mobile Phone Tools V3 from e-bay for $3.00 and it was worth it. None of the free links for the 2.21b upgrade worked for me so I thought it was worth a $3 investment.

I must apologize to those who tried downloading the links I supplied. The links on the site haven?t been updated since it went from 2.21 to 2.21b. Go here and download the Mobile Phone Tools 1.23c:
http://www.motclub.com/html/programs.htm#mpt
Then go to:
ftp:\\ftp2.bvrp.com/motorola
And download the "mobilePhoneTools_2.21b_US-exe" Then go here and download the USB driver:
http://www.motclub.com/html/drivers.htm
"The P2K driver on the same page has worked better for some" Install the USB driver, and then install the 1.23c version. Then update that with the 2.21b update and you should be all in.

I have read all the replies to this post. I have the V220 and have no problem getting ringers or graphics to my phone.. The problem I have is the games? How can I transfer the games to the phone or can't I do that? And if I'm able to transfer a game how do I know where it went on my phone? I saw on my mobile phone tools it only have two folder showing on my phone. Audio and pictures? Shouldn't there be more? Please help? Thank you

I doubt it. I'm not sure about other service providers, but I know that Cingular charges around $3-4 per game (yeah, it's a ripoff...) and I'm sure that Motorola understands that most services probablydo the same. I would guess that in order to get these services to carry their phone, Motorola would attempt to please them by not making it easy for you to do such a thing. Now, if you want to do some serious software development, you may be able to hack something together by sniffing USB activity and figuring out the protocols involved in transfering files to and from the phone. I hope I'm wrong and that there's an easier way :)

I posted earlier and would like to know how you can transfer games or even screen savors to my phone thru computer to phone? If you where able to do that or no? I already have the games but can't figure out how to get them to my phone. I can do ringers and wallpaper no problem. Without having to go to a web site to pay for it. thank you rdropps

Waqas9,
The links you showed is for flashing your phone:
http://www.mob453.com/phones/motorola_v600/
I am guessing that you just want data-connectivity of which Motorola Phone Tools is what you want. If you keep getting an error I would un-install all of the item's and start over. This time install the 1.23 and then upgrade it to 2.21b before installing the P2K package. Oh, and by the way. Are you running XP SP2?

Good luck!

Xman2004, I have a V60T (ATT) and an aftermarket USB data cable. I want to use the Mot Phone Tools software to upload phone numbers to my phone. I went to http://www.motclub.com/html/programs.htm and downloaded and installed Motorola Phone Tools 1.23C and then downloaded and installed the upgrade to 2.16 English. These software packages appear to have the p2k.sys included and they install them on my Win XP system.
When I start the software up it tell me to plug in my phone, which I do, and it correctly detects that it's a V60 (of some sort). I can open the modem communications window and see the AT commands flying by and everything looks fine there, however after the phone is initialized, the actual software does not work. It does nothing. I tried to dial a number from the software but it will only take a couple digits if you're lucky and then will not accept anymore. If you try to connect to read or upload the phone book, it will fail, but again, on initialization, I can see the AT's going by just fine and the software even read the EIN of the phone and displays it.
One thing I did notice in the AT commands is that the software keeps periodically trying to set the phone into the GSM mode. However, this is not a GSM phone. It's ATT so it's TDMA. I wonder if this is a problem.
Anyway, the computer does talk to the phone to some degree but none of the functions of the phone tools software are actually working. Any ideas or suggestions ?
Thanks !

Xman and all, I installed the software on a windows 2000 machine and it does the same thing. The modem talks to the phone to a limited degree but the software is unable to communicate with the phone book or any other feature other than initialization. The phone is a V60T, not a V60iT. Wonder if that has anything to do with it. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Waqas9,
It sounds like you need to re-install everything. I hope I understand you correctly in that it was running fine until you did a live update. Delete the program and re-insall it and if it works dont do the live update; "if it aint broke".
CaHiker,
I think you might just need to try a different driver. But 1st what are you listing your phone as in the program because I dont think its listed? Try the V600 setting and see if that makes a difference. If not then try one of these USB drivers:
http://www.motclub.com/html/drivers.htm
If your already using the P2K driver then try the regular USB driver, visa versa.

Hi, I would just like to take a moment to thank the people of this forum for all the info given to get PC connectivity to the Motorola V220. After a frustrating hour or two, I was able to get everything to work.
Thanks MUCH to Xman2004 and GeeDaddy.
Here's a quick rundown of what worked with me:
Note: If you have Win XP, you cannot have SP2 on it (it won't complete the install of the Mobile Phone Tools 1.23c software).
Note: The system I tried it on is Win XP without any service packs.
1. Driver install: P2K Driver 2.3. If the motclub site is not working, try this link: http://www.motorola-c650.spb.ru/stored/publications/606/download/P2K_driver_2.3.zip
If that doesn't work or goes down, search P2K Driver 2.3 in Google and poke around for one.
2. Mobile Phone Tools 1.23c (English). Unfortunately, I tried the FTP link (ftp://ftp2.bvrp.com/motorola/) and could not get it through there; I ended up searching for it in Google. Good luck.
3. Maj_mobilePhoneTools.exe from the FTP site (see above). I ran this and nothing happened for me. Just wanted to put this step in, in case it really did something. =)
4. mobilePhoneTools_2.21b_US-exe from the FTP site. Installed it, then restarted my computer.
5. Poked around with that for a while, and the phone was automagically recognized. I did not need to select V600 as my phone. It took a while, but it recognized it and allowed me to transfer files.
Note: You only have about 1.2 MB of free space, so try to keep those MP3 ringtones short, convert to mono, and 96 kbps or less. The speaker isn't very high quality anyway.
Variable bit rate MP3s (at least with Lame) did not work for me. Used the Lame MP3 encoder.
Good luck everyone! And thank you all again!
Edit: I'd like to mention that I have done only the following transfers: images (JPG, GIF) and audio (MP3, MIDI).
For all those looking for games or screensavers, I did not try them (my phone is full hehe). Good luck to you!
