Hey everybody having trouble getting Mobile PhoneTools to work, I hope this will help!

Installing Mobile PhoneTools - Starting from scratch:

What you will need:
-usb cable
- mobile phone tools; versions 1.23c, 2.16 update, and v3.11h.Final.Retail
-p2k and p2kman (I don't know if you need both, but I have both and it worked for me)
-chfaken (to unlock your phone)
(I found links to download all these programs in threads for mobile phone tools, some of the links don't work anymore, but some do - you just have to try them)

1. Uninstall all programs associated with the phone (mobile phone tools, etc.)
2. restart your computer
3. re-flash your phone - Make sure that the usb cable is DISCONNECTED from your computer before proceeding:
a. turn off phone,
b. press *, #, and the OFF button all at the same time,
c. plug in the usb cable (it will tell you to do this on the phone's screen)
the phone should say "ok" and the computer will recognize it as new hardware, if needed, choose to browse to the folder that you extracted the p2k driver into and it should be found
d. After it is finished installing, disconnect the phone from your computer again, and turn it back on.
4. Open the Chfaken file and run the unlock
5. Go to the folder where you saved the mobile phone tools software,
6. Double click the icon for the version 1.23c and install this first, follow the install wizard until it gets to the window where there is a "Finish" button at the bottom. Click the box next to "Automatically run application" (or something similar) to remove the check - DO NOT RUN THE FIRST VERSION OF MOBILE PHONE TOOLS (1.23c)
7. Immediately go back to the folder in which you saved the mobile phone tools software and double click on the icon for the version 2.16 update and install it now
8. After it is finished installing, double click the icon on your desktop to run mobile phone tools (you have to run the second version or the 3rd version will not install).
9. Go through the set up, when it asked to detect drivers for your phone, click the box next to "Select driver from a specified location (Advanced)" to put a check in it
10. If you cannot find your phone in the list, just pick one that is close to your model number and finish the install (I had to do this because I have a V220)
11. mobile phone tools might ask you how you want to connect, click usb cable
12. When it asks you to, plug the usb cable into your phone
13. It should detect it after a few minutes, then pop up a phone skin - if you had to choose a different model than you have, it won't look just like your phone - it doesn't matter
14. It will initialize for awhile, be patient - however, if it takes more than 10 mins, something is wrong and you will have to start over from the beginning.
15. Once, it has finished initializing, click on the Multimedia Studio icon and try to transfer a couple of files (pics, etc.) - if everything is working fine close mobile phone tools
16. Go back to the folder where you saved mobile phone tools and double click on the icon for the 3rd version of mobile phone tools v3.11h.Final.Retail, and install it
17. Near the end of the install you might get a couple of error messages, just click ignore - if you get them at the beginning of the install and there are so many that you cannot get through them, it is not going to work and you will have to start over
18. If the install goes okay, it should automatically launch mobile phone tools
19. It will ask you again how you want to connect to your phone, choose usb cable and (if your phone is still plugged in) disconnect the usb cable and reconnect it, let it detect your phone
20. It should detect your phone and bring up the phone skin, let it initialize (this should only take a few minutes, be patient
21. When it is done initializing, click on the menu button on the phone skin, go to setup and click on "new phone"
22. It will ask you again how to connect to phone, choose usb cable (if necessary, disconnect and reconnect your phone)
23. After it detects your phone again, go thru the set up, it will ask you to automatically detect drivers, click the box next to "Select driver from a specified location (Advanced)" again.
24. When it pops up the list of phones, you should be able to find your model in the list (v220 is near the bottom of the list)
25. Finish the set up, when it is done it should change the phone skin to your model phone (when mine came up, it looked just like my phone).
26. When it is done initializing, you should be ready to go - you can upload and download to and from your phone now.

I got all the info that I needed to figure this out from the threads for mobile phone tools - especially from threads written by Mossy and xman2004. I am very new to all of this, and it took quite a few hours of screwing around with it before I could get it to work. So I thought a step by step of what I had to do might help someone else. If anyone finds that I missed a step or a correction that needs to be made, please let me know. I definetly don't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction. Good Luck!
