I already did a search and updated my own firmware, so SCREW verizon. I bought the phone and the software only to find out that hte bluetooth and USB had been disabled.
anyone that wants to do it can do so from these links.

for other information or the complete convoluted & scattered instructions go to »
www.v710.org/mark/index.htmHere's the more concise version:
1. Install Motorola Phone tools (works with 4.0.4b and earlier), reboot and make sure you can connect to your phone. (close the app when finished)
2. Install USBSER.SYS (if using win xp & CDMA phone) obtain from »
www.bvrp.com/customers/m ··· rade/US/3. Install PST 7.2.3 with patch - do a google search for this or beg someone besides me!...if you really can't find it pm me technokid88
4. Install (unzip) PST drivers if you are using USB cable - obtain from »
www.v710.org/mark/Files/ ··· ack1.zip5. Install (not really - just unzip to a folder on your pc) P2KSeem
Obtain from »
www.v710.org/mark/Files/ ··· V710.zip6. Run PST 7.2.3 phone programmer - Please Note -
The Windows Add New Hardware Wizard should run, automatically search for, find and install the new drivers which you installed in step #4. If not, point the wizard to the folder you unzipped the drivers in. The phone will now be listed as Motorola USB Modem in device manager.
(If your phone shows up in device manager as Motorola USB Modem, launch PST using the Phone Programmer icon off the start menu. Again, if this is your first time doing this, or you have connected the data cable to a different USB port, the Add New Hardware wizard will run. It will try to install.... Communications Class - Control Interface, Data Logging MCU Interface, Test Command Interface, and Accessories Interface. For all of these, choose "Install from a list or specific location..." then click next. On the following screen, to the right to the "include this location in the search" click browse... and direct it to where you downloaded/unzipped the V3C PST drivers to. If the add new hardware wizard does NOT run, check device manager for a Motorola USB Device group with Accessories Interface, Data Logging MCU, and Test Command Interface listed. If you have them, you can proceed. If you do not, unplug your phone, power it off/on, and reconnect. These devices must be installed for P2KSeem to connect to the phone! They will only be listed in device manager while PST is still running so DO NOT EXIT PST! )
PST really gives NO indication that it is connected to your phone. To test... Launch PST... When it comes to the main interface, click File -> New -> Phone Book File -> Ok. You will be presented with Untitled Phone Book File. Use the Phone pull down, and click READ. PST should start reading the contents of your phone's Contacts. If it finishes, PST is connected. NOTE: Be careful when doing this in PST, choosing an improper option (even for reading) can fry your phone!!
7. Leaving Pst 7.2.3 running on your pc, Open P2kSeem.exe from the download location.
8. P2KSeem should say "connected" in the lower left corner.
9 . Locate the LOAD area in the bottom right corner. Change the Seem to 2742 and Record to 1. Once they are filled in correctly, Click the LOAD FROM PHONE button.
10. You will see a bunch of "junk" (really its hex codes, etc) in the top part of the window. Under Selected Byte Details (lower left section) you will see OFFSET:0000 (that is where the cursor is at load time.)
11. You want to backup the original seem. click save to file, choose the location and name the file 2742_0001.bak and ok to save a backup copy
12. Go down to Line 000060 and go over to e3 (may be e2 on some phones) should say offset 006a - added by shandon
13. Click on the box for BIT 0 to put a check mark in it. That sets BIT0 = 1 (this turns on the USB File transfer for music/video/pictures in the motorola phone tools software) **do not experiment with any other bits**
14. Click Save to Phone
15. Click Restart Phone
16. Close P2kSeem & PST
17. Unplug the usb cable from your phone, and then plug it back in (this resets the connection with the pc after programming)
17. Open Motorola Phone tools
18. Press or go to menu/setup/general setup
19. click on communication tab and choose change modem
20. click Next 2 times
21. click the box beside "do not automatically detect..." & click next
22. click on Motorola CDMA & choose V3CM & Click next
23. click finish & Ok
Now your MPT software should connect with your phone and show you the multimedia studio & calendar options.
If not, reboot your pc and reopen phone tools to connect again.
If all you want to do is flash down to .02 without all the problems associated with P2K and PST - use these directions - using RSD is MUCH MUCH easier...

Heres what you will need:
DriverTool here: (»
forum.osnn.net/showthrea ··· &page=51)
Motorola v3c USB Drivers here: (»
forum.osnn.net/showthrea ··· ?t=80317) (Page bottom of 1st first)
Motorola Phone Tools (MPT) 4 (google this-get version 4 if you can - if not get close and do a update from inside the MPT to version 4.
Motorola RSD Lite v. 2.5 (Needed to flash v3c to ver .02) (google this also. its not free but a little bit of searching will find it.)
version .02 flash file (»
ryfiles.com/flash/)
To downgrade the Software on a Veizon v3c to .02
Install Motorola Phone Tools 4
shut program down
Install Motorola RSD Lite v. 2.5
shut program down
Run driverTool (phone not attached to the PC)
reboot PC
After reboot start RSD Lite 2.5
Connect Phone to USB cable
youll get a "new hardware found" message
chose "let windows find the file" but chose your own location: location is where you have unzipped the v3c drivers (directory only)
this happens about 4 or five times, do the same each time (same directory - it will chose the right drivers), after RSD Lite will show a bunch of info in line #1. When this happens your all set. If it doesnt - re-run drive tools, reboot and start again. (took me 2 tries) - the drivers can be finicky.
Ok, if line #1 in RSD Lite is full of info, point to the shx file for the .02 flash (GATW_01.0F.02) (wherever you unzipped it) (recommend you unzip to the desktop just to make life easy)
Click Start
When finished (about 15 minutes); You're done!
Open MPT and press F6, click on Communication Tab at top.
Click Change Modem button
Next button to begin wizard.
Select Motorola USB Modem, click Next
Check the "Do Not Automatically Detect" checkbox
Select Motorola CDMA
Find v3cm in the list - finish up the wizard.
This will enable multimedia studio etc.
Now your ready to load ringtones and pictures as you desire.
Hope this is clear, if not give me a shout - hope this helps... I know I'm happier than hell now after doing it!
