 (click screenshots below to enlarge) First off, you will need the following software: Get it all in this zip file (16mb) Hardware: Motorola V3m Razr USB cable DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE UNTIL I TELL YOU TO! Step 1:First, run the driver fix. If you get any messages warning against unsigned drivers, just click install anyway/continue. Following the install of the driver fix, install the Motorola Driver Software. Again, click continue where it asks you about the unsigned drivers. Step 2: Proceed to extract P2K commander somewhere, then go to the next step. Step 3:  Plug your phone into the computer, and remember which port you use. Use the same port every time. After Windows installs your drivers, you should hear the "device connected" sounds a couple times, then the "device disconnected sound," followed by the "device connected" sound again. Run the PST Phone Programmer, which can be found in either the Start Menu -> Motorola, or on the Desktop. Once the phone is connected, you can click the new button, then choose phonebook. Then at the top click the Phone menu -> Phone Info. After that is done and pops up an info dialog, leave the PST Phone Programmer running. (Note: in the event of an error, unplug the phone, power cycle it, and then plug it back in. Close and open the PST Phone Programmer, proceed with steps above. If it still doesn't work, reboot the computer and try again.) Step 3:
 Run P2K Commander. Click OK when it pops up a dialog box. Proceed to go to the drop down menu in the right pane and select "p2k mobile phone." The program should give a couple errors in the message box, but should begin to index the files on your phone. If it doesn't, make sure that you followed the instructions in for the PST Phone Programmer. Be patient and persistant, trying until it works. Step 4  :The startup and shutdown animations are easy to change too. Just go up one directory, then open the "motorola->shared->picture" folder. Find and copy (to backup) customer_opening.gif and customer_closing.gif. Proceed to find (resource) or create an animated gif to replace each, with a size of 176x220 pixels. Rename your startup screen customer_opening.gif, and your shutdown screen to customer_closing.gif. CTRL+Select them, then right click and copy. Finally. if you wish to change the startup sound, go up one directory and open the "audio" folder. Backup ui_start_up_mono.mp_ , then take a SHORT (3-7 seconds or so) mp3 file and rename it to "ui_start_up_mono.mp_" and copy it over. For the shutdown sound, go up a couple directories, then go to the "system" folder. Find and backup ui_start_dn_mono.mp_, then do the same as you did for the startup sound. DONE! Note: You can change system icons, as well as sounds and such. Just make sure to back everything up so that you can put it all back to factory settings to keep your warranty from being voided. Adding ringtones is easy, just go to the motorola/shared/audio folder and drop your mp3 and mid files there. You can add images by dropping them into the motorola/shared/picture folder as well.
