Increase the bluetooth availability time

Currently for 49R, 70R and 79R - you can increase or decrease the time of your bluetooth connection availability. In the archives there are some pre-made patches, but the authors made it simple, so you can make changes yourself later.

Download Link :

Installation:
You will need to extract the codegroups of your firmware with SHXCodec and patch CG1 with FlashBackup

Later if you wish you can change the amount of minutes using simple seem edit. Seem 004a_0001 on offset 0х91 holds the value. Every digit increase adds additional minute. For example if you set the value to 01 it will be one minute, 0A = 10 minutes, etc.

How do I flash my phone

Source of the guide is http://mirror.softcox.com/e398-to-ROKR/
1. Check your Bootloader version by holding down # and * when you power the phone on

2. You must ensure that under Boot Loader you have 07.D0. If you have something else, DO NOT PROCEED

AT THIS POINT ENSURE YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED, OR YOU MAY BE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER MODE WITH NO WAY TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY!

3. Make sure your phone is in Data/Fax mode under USB settings

4. Find the directory where Motorola PST is installed and run MultiFlashFlex.exe

5. Under preferences check the first two boxes

6. Under Enable Flash check the box and select the shx file of the Monster Pack that you will flash

7. Make sure under Enable Flex nothing is selected

8. Start your phone in bootloader mode, this is done by holding down the star * and hash # keys while powering on

9. Plug your phone in and wait for it to appear in the list (it may appear as S FLASH NEPTUNE LTE)

10. Press start!

Note: This guide is for already modded to 373 version phones! All 372 (stock firmware phones) need to flash 42_for_all MP first and then the MP that they want.

Recovery with dead flash

Sometimes our Motorola dies in a very bad way - nothing helps. This can happen if you end up with damaged flash memory, where the firmware and all program memory are stored
After such crash in practice nothing can help at all - no forceboot, no testpoint, no existing known recovery method! And here comes one method, which can probably still be able to revive your phone, even with dead flash memory. We already have one successful revival using that

Sympthoms:
- Ramldr shows errors like ERR Г
- MFF and PST cannot flash, they show errors.

We need the following:
- Phone corpse
- Full backup of the phone firmware
- Charged battery or at least USB charger
- Ramldr by Vilko
- Loader for Ramldr (ldr_*.bin)
- Hex editor (like XVI32)
- Good understanding and following the procedure below

What to do:
0. Test Point (it is not required)
1. Search for the broken cells
2. Making backup in peaces
3. Final stage of recovery
3a. Making our own ldr_part*.bin
3b. Recovery and obtaining working phone

0. Test point is alraedy discussed in the revival and survival. It is not required anyway.

1. Get ldr_*.bin, open it with Hex editor, "jump" (в XVI32 - [Ctrl]+[G]) to address F8 (that is the start of the flash memory), put value 10 00 00 00 (4 bytes)
Jump to address FC and put value 12 00 00 00
Save the file.

Connect the phone, go to bootloader and in ramldr click on send ramldr -> choose our new updated ldr_*.bin
When you see err: divide the region of the memory (10 00 00 00 - 12 00 00 00) in two equal length pieces and change the ldr_*.bin with the new values. Here is the example:

Region: 10 00 00 00 - 12 00 00 00
1 Piece: 10 00 00 00 - 10 FF FF FF
2 Piece: 11 00 00 00 - 12 00 00 00

And thus, it is possible to find the "broken addresses". It may be necessary to divide erroneous region to in half and pass regions many times..

From the phone with broken memory that we mentioned the region was: 10 F3 FF FF - 10 F6 00 00

2. As soon as we found the bad memory now it is time to make the backup
Hint: address 10 00 00 00 in the phone is addres 00 00 00 00 in the backup

Here is how you can do it:
Part 1 - from address 00 00 00 00 to the start address of the broken memory we will call it part1.bin
Part 2 - From the end address of the broken memory to address 02 00 00 00 (which is 12 00 00 00 in phone memory),
we will call it part2.bin
Hint: use the windows calculator to calculate the addresses in the "Scientific Mode" using Hex type

3. 3a. Now it is time for recovery. Prepare your ldr_*.bin files:
ldr_part1.bin
ldr_part2.bin
* They can be more in case you have more than 1 erroneous memory part
We need to change addresses now:
1). In ldr_part1.bin on address F8 write 10 00 00 00, and on address FC - the start address of erroneous memory part
2). In ldr_part2.bin on address F8 write the start address of the erroneous memory part and on FC write 12 00 00 00

3b. Start ramldr, connect our corpse and load it in bootloader mode, use "Send Ramldr" and choose ldr_part1.bin. Now choose "erase", you will see ACK ERASE, and select "base addr" as "10000000". Choose "send binary"
and send part1.bin. Restart the phone (you may need to remove the battery and start back in bootloader using the 4 and 5 pin method)
Do exactly the same with ldr_part2.bin/part2.bin.
Now it is the tricky part - if the bad memory block is not critical for the phone system - your phone will work! Unfortunately if it is - it is time for you to buy a new phone :)

NEW: Now we have MotoBackupTools program by n0wheremany which follows this procedure. No manual available yet.

Also some beta of another recovery tool (don't know what it is for). Get it

Make iTunesDB Using Winamp+iPod Plugin


Make iTunesDB Using Winamp+iPod Plugin
t's alternative method to created iTunesDB
The Advantages if using this method are:
1.Support Artwork (like real iPod)
2.[May] Unlimited songs (*I have 250more songs on my 1G TF)
3.Fast transfer songs, coz u can use card reader. Doesn’t need data cable like in original iTunes PC
4.Customize folder directory for audio file (the file can see on multimedia>audio, original iTunes can’t do this)
5.Manageable in file naming

Hope you enjoy This

Thanks to:
-Winamp and iPod support developer
-Nalimen aka P4_I_JO aka komplonk (Mas Teguh)
-My love
-All iTunes+Tunes user
-All motomodders in the world
