[dubs chops]

Hello to all, I love modding stuff from PC's to my psp. I just found this site and saw you can mod moto cell phones AWESOME:D as a super noob i believe i have a rokr z6 But i am not sure how to tell other than looking at pictures from google. Anyways i was wondering where I should start looking to learn how to get started? any info at all is appreciated.

First power on the phone holding down the * and # keys
and copy what is displayed on the screen.
Welcome to the world of Moto Modding.

Welcome to MMUS dubs chops! :cheers:

[dubs chops]

its just a blue screen? did i do something wrong? i just held down the # and * key while i hit the power button. yep still just blue.

[Woody]

That could happen. You can open the battery cover, and pull out the battery. Below you should find a sticker with (usually) some text. Code after SW: is what you need to post, so that we can determine what Motorola model do you actually have. :smoke:

mmmm strange,

welcome mate

ok what is on the label under the battery?

X_03.02.1ap 4707

Is there somewhere some code that starts with "R60_G_80"? That's the software for ROKR Z6. :smoke:

[Spike]

menu, settings, phone settings, properties,

and tell us what info pops up, mate

[dubs chops]

[dubs chops]

ok try this,

menu, settings, phone settings, properties,

and tell us what info pops up, mate


i can get to menu settings but there is no phone settings. Man i love this kinda stuff BTW guys, thanks for helping me. What next?

[Spike]

ok mate, you have a z6m,

now from what i've heard these can be hard to mod,

i'll fine out some more info for you mate

[dubs chops]

well that sucks.i am all excited. thanks i appreciate it, i look forward to what you come up with.

CDMA hacking is very limited if at all. Your service porvider Verzion or Sprint?

[dubs chops]

us cellular. so does that mean i am screwed?

[tkalli]

U.S. Cellular uses CDMA network. You have a CDMA phone.
There is not much that can be modded on it.

CDMA phones are hard to hacking - yes.
I found one MP FW --> ALT_Z6M_02.0D.0BP_PRIoo41586_MONSTER_01.shx.rar (http://rapidshare.com/files/108942431/ALT_Z6M_02.0D.0BP_PRIoo41586_MONSTER_01.shx.rar.ht ml) , but i don't guarantee, that will work @ ur phone and i think do not have any mod extrass. I'm not very familiar with CDMA phones - sorry can't help.

Edit: I found THIS (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277708) may help.

[Spike]

thanks Shingo mate,

[dubs chops]

well thanks for trying to help guys, looks like i have to move on till i get another service provider.

Don't give up. Just switch to GSM like ATT. Honestly, I used to deal with CDMA, but I'm a customize FREAK, so thats when I went to cingular/ now ATT :yeah:

[dubs chops]

i had cingular but there service bows in my area, figures too its the only place in the world where their service is not the best,

[clarkey]

You have a CDMA rokr, They are usually unmoddable. But there are some sites out there with some information.

cheers buddy
