Ringtones and Wallpapers via USB CABLE

Software Needed:
Mobile Phone Tools 2.16 +

This software is pretty straight forward and you can easily access the phone and go
through Multimedia Studio Option and it is basically just click and drag to the Audio or
Picture Folder.
Games via USB CABLE
Software Needed:
PST 6.7
Midway 2.8
JAD Generator
http://www.motclub.com/

There are 2 steps needed for this.

1) Enable JAVA APP LOADER in the Java menu (PST 6.7)
2) Midway to upload the game to phone
PST 6.7 (used to enable Java APP loader menu)
1. download PST 6.7+ and load up the program with the phone already plugged in via
USB cable.

2. Select NEW, then KJava Files

3. Click READ FROMPHONE (picture of a arrow POINTING AWAY from the phone)
4. Now that box should have the"Enable/Disable Java APP menu", CLICK ENABLE!!
5. It should bring up a message stating it will be putting it into suspend mode, and then
say "Changing JAVA APP MENU ITEM"

Finished, now check YOUR PHONE, in SETTINGS > JAVA SETTINGS and see if you
now have the JAVA APP LOADER in your Java menu.
IF SO PROCEED TO NEXT STEP!

MIDWAY 2.8(used to upload games)

1. Go to the NEW Java App Loader in your java menu and select it, It should SAY
"INSERT DATA CABLE"
2. Insert Data cable
3. Open up MIDWAY, Find correct COM PORT

(Games come in .JAR format, and sometimes comes with accompanied .JAD file. What
a .JAD file is basically a URL file to tell where the game is located. You can open any
.JAD file with NOTEPAD to edit. MY SUGGESTION is to get a program called JAD
GENERATOR)

This guide should work for any Motorola Vxxx series phone such as V300, V400,
V525, V600, etc. You will need a data cable for this, preferably USB but serial
should work. You cannot use bluetooth on a V600 to do this, you do need the data
cable.

Software you'll need

• A hex editor, such as freeware HHD Hex Editor:
http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html
• P2KMan software for accessing the files on your phone:
http://anton.tbg.ru/files/p2kman.zip
• If you want a manual for P2KMan, here it is:
http://anton.tbg.ru/files/manual_eng.zip
(P2KMan's normal help files are in Russian so they won't be of use.)

Installation
Do not connect the data cable yet.
Install HHD Hex Editor first; it's easy to install.
Next, install P2KMan. It doesn't have an installer so you'll need to extract the zip
file to somewhere, such as in it's own folder in My Documents.
Now connect the data cable to your phone and then to your computer. It should
install drivers and come up with the "Found New Hardware Wizard" for some of
them. If the wizard doesn't come up, you will need to go to where P2KMan was
unzipped and run the P2KMan executable. It will then start the wizard. Ignore any
errors P2KMan might give you at this point, and close P2KMan. When it does come
up with the wizard, choose "Install from a list or specific location" and click Next.
Then make sure "Include this location in the search" is checked and click the
Browse button. Navigate to the folder where P2KMan is and select the "drv" folder
there. That's where the needed drivers are. It will probably come up quite a few
times with the Found New Hardware Wizard; if so, just repeat the process to point
it to the correct drivers.

Modifying the file

Ok, now you should be able to run P2KMan, so browse to it's location and run the
executable for it again.
A long list of files should come up in the list to the upper left in the P2KMan
window. This is the list of every file on the phone.
Now then, to download the file from the phone which needs to be edited. Click the
"File" column header at the top of the file list twice to have it sort the files. There
should then be a triangle pointing upwards on the "File" column header to indicate
the files are sorted in ascending alphabetical order. If the triangle is pointing down,
just click it again.
The file you are looking for is "/a/gain_table.bin" which should be about 4-5 pages
down with the files sorted the way they are. Once you've found it in the list, click it
to select it. Then click the "Phone >>> PC" button which is to the bottom left. It
should then pop up a "Save As" window. Go ahead and save the file anywhere you
want.
Next, to be on the safe side, make a backup copy of the "gain_table.bin" file.
Always a good idea. Really, back it up before modifying it in case something goes
wrong.
Ok, now run the hex editor and open the "gain_table.bin" file with it. In the split
window, you only will be modifying data in the left side (which looks like "00 00 00
ff ff"). The right side with "...yyyy" and such is to be left alone.
Read the last part of this document for where in the file to edit for all the different
volumes; I'll stick with just the earpiece volume here.
Try clicking on something in the left side. It should highlight in black and blink. Now
look to the very bottom center of the hex editor window. It should say something
like "Offset: 00000008 of 000003e8" which tells you the Offset of that place in the
file. For the above example the offset would be 08.
Now then, find the hex Offset location 0D. It should be the third column over from
the right side at the very top, and should be "01" by default. That's the earpiece
volume level, which can range from 1-8 and is 1 by default. Change that value to
"06" or so. Just select the "1" and type "6" in. The 6 will show up red to indicate
you've changed it. Now save the file using File->Save in the top menu.
You're done there, now close the hex editor.
If P2KMan is no longer running, start it back up. Now in P2KMan look to the bottom
where it says "Uploading path:" and click in the box. Type in "/a/" (without the
quotes of course) for the upload path. Be sure to do this correctly or it won't work.
With the upload path now set to /a/, click the "PC >>> Phone" button. In the Open
window that pops up, navigate to your now modified gain_table.bin file and choose
it. Now in the main P2Kman window if you look to the text box on the right you
should see "File upload... /a/gain_table.bin ok" in the text there indicating the file
was loaded back to your phone. Almost done.
Now, close P2KMan, unplug the data cable, and do a complete power down and
restart of your phone. This of course is done by holding the red End key in for a
couple of seconds, which is also how you power the phone back up. This has to be
done to refresh the file, and the change won’t take effect until a power cycle has
been done.

That's it! Call somebody to test it out and enjoy the new volume!

Offset locations in gain_table.bin for various volumes:

Earpiece- 0D
Inner key volume- 19
In-Call Speakerphone- 31
Ringtone/Video volume- 49
Soft keys volume- 4E
Each of these volume settings can vary between 1-8. Do not use a value outside
that range.

Change Startup and Powerdown Image and Sounds

Change Startup and Powerdown Image and Sounds
Use Motokit to change the Startup and Powerdown image and sounds.
Run Motokit and select Startup & Powerdown Style from the Mobile menu. It will
take a few seconds to read from the phone:

Select StartupGif and PowerdownGIF boxes and locate the files on your
computer by clicking the ... boxes. Do the same for Startup and
Powerdown Tone if you want to change those as well. In the example
below they are left as the default. Select OK and restart your phone.
