Motorola v550

Using the USB cable for your Motorola V300, V400+ etc. phone (via Bluetooth won’t work), the P2Kman seem utility, a hex editor, and this tutorial, you can probably teach your phone to make you coffee in the morning. There’s a master list of hacks here, and a few mods especially for the V551 here. Go nuts, and let us know if you can figure out how to make those cool little designs in the cappuccino.

For those of you with a Vxxx fone < 600, you can use the data cable to flash your phone to a 600. they have the same hardware.

I just did this today from a v525 (same as v500) to v600.

Keep away from data cables that create virtual serial ports… like futuredial from radioshack… nothing but trouble.
P.S. I hate my v265

I can’t access the p2kman link….
I have a V180 that I’m not using, so I’d like to experiment with the hacking thing. I have the ArcSoft program that can sync data between my PC and phone and USB cable. I can sync, but, the V180 is a POS and I’ve switched back to my old NOKIA 3595. If you can help me with the p2kman.zip file, I’d appreciate it. thanks.
