hey guys. i am new here. i was having same trouble of downloading mp3 onto v3m. i went through forum. here is the payback. very easy. no need to cut, rename or anthing like that.
first. goto control panel, double click on folder options. goto view tab. uncheck "hide known file types." this is very important otherwise it won't work.
second. transfer any mp3 you want onto the transflash memory card. rename file extension to .qcp instead of mp3. you will get a window asking if you want to procede and that it may not work. click yes.
then transfer your transflash card into the cell phone. goto get tunes... and scroll to find your song. designate ringtone accordingly.

good luck;
jay

USING YOUR OWN RINGTONES ON THE VERIZON KRZR

I have a Verizon KRZR. Darksatan's thing is basically correct. But PUT YOUR FILES IN A:\MOTOROLA\SHARED\RINGTONES and not AUDIO. Enabling Bluetooth/USB transfer is a nice idea too.

Simply changing the seem with the device name might have worked in the past, but I think that the firmware was fixed to keep you from moving ringtones via the Motorola Multimedia Center. That's only going to work for contacts, pictures, and possibly video.

Note that MMC will give you an error message to the effect of "Unrecognized File Type ..." if you try to move a ringtone that way. I just bought this phone last month to replace my dying E815. So you it's not totally necessary to mess with enabling it.

Have fun! (8])




Darksatan's Procedure (P2K Commander Method):

Originally posted by darksatan:

if you want to create and add your own mp3 ringtones to the New Verizon Razr V3m to your phone here is the steps and the programs used to do it.

Motorola PST and P2k Commander V 3.3.0

Go ahead and open up PST then P2k Commander allow it to switch the phone to P2k Mode Once that is done.

Hopefully you have used P2k Commander Prior to this.

Now the fun will begin go ahead and copy all the mp3's you want to have as ringtones. You will have to copy them into the Motorola | Shared | Audio folder of the phone.

After you have copied all them over to the phone you will need to delete two files from the phone.

Find and delete TmpTneDB.db and MyToneDB.db

Now unconnect the phone and restart it. After this is done you will now beable to set those Mp3's as ringtones if you want to add more just redo the steps above.


I hope this helps


That's it! I was working for days trying just about everything earlier in this thread, but the Verizon software on a pink RAZR V3m my wife got earlier this month fought me every step of the way. Your explanation on top of Darksatan's instructions did the trick! Thanks.

First, someone JUST tell me this is impossible:
Record a sound manually (record new) and set it as a ringtone.
Ex.: Record the Sportscenter theme off the TV.

Someone please tell me I can't just do that, so I stop trying to do it.
I cannot find a way to set it as a ringtone.
My phone is 4 days old. My gf's phone is 9 months old and she can do this. My menus are different, so I'm guessing I have the V3m to her V3C (or something).

If this cheaper than cheap way of having a ringtone is not impossible, SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE a recording a ringtone. If it is, in fact, impossible, I have no basis where to start.

From what I've read (first 10 pages of this thread) I need:
1. a mini usb cable
2. a Transflash card, also known as a Micro SD Card (???). How big should it be?

Do I need anything else?

How much should I pay for:
-USB cable
-Transflash Micro SD Card

Can I get these at freakin' Wal-Mart, cause that's all I got (or Radio Shack for too much $$ I'm sure).

Look at the post just above yours. It worked for me. My wife's Verizon V3m was ordered 2/4/08 and delivered a few days later, so the software's probably the same.

I used a mini-USB cable that came with a digital camera. I bought a 1Gig MicroSD with a full size SD adapter dirt cheap. Look online or from Fry's if they have one in your area. The card is not absolutely necessary to the ringtones, but you'll want one anyway, trust me. Use the software EXACTLY as stated, then knock yourself out transferring custom ringtones.

So, it is imposibble to have the sound I recorded as my default ring?

I have no idea what the person above my last post is saying.
I have a phone. That's it. Oh, and a charger for the wall outlet.
I don't know anything about computer programs for it.
All I want is the damn theme I recorded off the TV with my phone, under MY SOUNDS, to be my default ringer.
I don't want MP3s on my phone. I don't want any other ringers.
I want that one ring - b/c all Verizon's default rings are annoying - and then I will use my phone as a phone to make phone calls.

So, back to my original question, it's impossible?
Oh, and I would just go buy a ringtone, but my V3M doesn't allow me to 1. Text the sound I recorded to myself or 2. Go add applications.
Apparently I have no service here, though I can talk all day on my phone, no problem.

It WAS possible under earlier Verizon software to email a sound and save it as a ringtone (your10digitphone#@vzwpix.com) but that capability has been removed on the latest software for the RAZR V3m.

It WAS possible to use a MicroSD/Transflash card and exchange a recorded sound to a ringtone by jumping through a few hoops (and not renaming the file) but not anymore.

To get a homemade sound to a ringtone now, you'll need a USB cable, the software mentioned in the "how to" instructions above, and quite a bit of patience. If you're willing to do that, it's possible. If you're not willing to do that, it's NOT possible.

You have to understand that Verizon wants you to pay for all these extra services and downloads, so they block the phone as much as possible. The seem edits are the best way to fix these problems and along with Motorola Phone tools software you can do anything you want to the phone after that. I have a good deal of knowledge on PCs and electronics but never messed with phones until I purchased 4 Razors last May. It was a learning process for me but works great. Just follow the seem edit instructions to the letter and it will work. You will be able to make your own ring tones, load complete songs and transfer pics and flixs easily with a USB cable. I loaded 2 complete movies into my phone just to see if it works. Its not worth watching on a screen that size but it does work. Thats on a 1 gig card I installed.

the thing is that i tried this, but when i got the file back onto my phone it wouldnt give me the option to set as ringtone.

i think i figured out why. whenevr a file goes from the card to the phone, it is disabled for ringtones. i dont know why, but it does. First, i rcorded a regular soundbyte, me saying that i am pissed off. I had the option to set that as my ringtone. Then, i sent it to my card, then sent it back to the phone. When it got back to the phone, the ringtone option went away. How do I prevent this?

PS- im broke and desperate, please help

Thanks Jerry746, I never got into doing SEEM edits but that wasn't so bad.

Jerry's guide is on Page 9 for those of you who happen to see this post first.

I received my Verizon v3m this week. I can record a sound on the phone using the recorder function, but I cannot use the recorded sound as a ringtone. I can play it, but it does not show up in the list of ringtones. I tried various ways of recording a file, moving it to the card and then replacing the file with an MP3 file and moving it back to the phone. The phone still does not see it as a ringtone, but I can play it on the phone as an audio file. I looked at the phone's settings in an editor and the USB file transfer is already enabled. I cannot transfer anything either way with a USB cable except for my contacts. I can transfer music files and pictures by using the flash card. My software version is 24.1_01.19.07.

Wow, do I hate verizon right about now. I had an LG vx8300, awesome phone. Could send pix messages with audio to it and save them as ringtones. I had all my contacts set with different specific ringtones and different ringtones set individually for text messages, pix messages, and voicemail alerts. I had a ton of content on there.

Bought the Razr v3m the other day as my LG wouldn't charge anymore and my new every two was up and I didn't want to spend much on a new phone.

This thing just plain blows. I have done everything in this thread, I have used PST programmer and P2k Commander and I CAN successfully get files copied into my Music & Tones/My Ringtones folder (A.K.A in P2k the P2k:/a/motorola/shared/ringtone/ folder).

So the tones are all in my ringtone area on the phone (mine and the ones that came with it together in the same list) and I can play them and hear them just fine. The damn phone won't let me set them to stuff. If I go into settings & tools/sound settings/call sounds/call ringtone even though they are on the list of tones I can pick from, the phone still won't set them. Like if you pick one that was already in there when the phone was bought and press okay it gives you a little box that states "call ringtone set", but when I pick one of the ones that I put on there myself and press okay it just goes back to the settings & tools/sound settings/call sounds/call ringtone area and won't "Call ringtone set".

Arrghh. Could they low jack a phone anymore!? Am I missing some really easy step that allows my phone to let them be set once they are on the list? If not, is there a way to rollback a software version on the phone to a version that has things enabled, or would I end up having an unusable phone that I have to bring back and they'd know I hacked it?

I bought this thing 4/3/08 (Browser version openwave 6.2.3) (software version 24.1_01.19.07)

Also, I have tried many different formats of sound, I have copied over mp3s, aac files and wave files

Hey guys, quick question. I've done the seem editing and I can transfer mp3 through MPT to my v3m. But is there a way to transfer the mp3s directly to the micro sd card on the phone and use them as ringtones? From what I can find MPT will only send them right onto the phone and lets face it, 41 MB of total space is crap. I have used P2K Commander to put the mp3s onto the card but I can't set them as ringtones. I even tried changing their extension to .qcp and still nothing. Is there a proper way to do this or am I just dreaming?

Its been over a year since I set my phone up, but if I remember right the ringtone can only be in the proper folder in the phone memory. You can't store ringtones on the sd card and use them from there. At least I think thats how it works.

If you use the one method where you record a new soundbyte, and copy the name and extension to the mp3. It can work that way. You just need to have the soundbyte be recorded right to the card. I was using that method before I found MPT. I just didn't know if anybody has found a better way to do it yet
