Motorola :: W385 - Update With P2k Commander 6.0 In XP
Jul 27, 2010
I have a motorola W385 phone. I've always used XP and P2k Commander 6.0.0 to change ringtones and wallpaper images.
I've since upgraded to windows 7 and I can't figure out what to do now to accomplish these tasks. I have installed the latest MotoDev drivers 4.2.4 I believe, I have installed p2k 6.0.0 But the software just will NOT recognize the phone. It shows up as a modem on com6... as soon as I set the program to com6, the modem disappears from device manager.
I've done this 4 or 5 times in the past using XP and I'm just wondering if anybody has had success with Windows 7 and what software they used to do it?
Really I just want to change the wallpaper and I'm not sure how to send a text message to the phone with an image attached using Windows Messenger (if that's possible)
I did find a computer with XP, but for some reason P2k Commander does the same thing, as soon as you select the appropriate COM PORT, the motorola modem driver disappears from device manager. This software seems REALLY touchy and I just don't know what to try next. I've tried many versions of P2k as well without success.

I just got a new Motorola W385 from US Cellular. I can not get P2K Commander version 6.0.0 to recognize the phone. I have installed the Handset USB Drivers from the Motorola website and set the software to use the correct COM port. If the Mode is set to P2K/P2K05, when the software starts it says that the phone is Linux based and wants to change the mode to P2K05 over USBLAN. This has not corrected the problem. I have tried all three options under P2K Tuning. Do I need a different version of P2K Commander or a different driver? I saw that the instructions called for version 4.9.C of P2K Commander but I was not able to find a downloadable copy of that version.

I want to update my file commander to the version (3.1.13174) PREMIUM , but every time I try to install it a message appears and the app didn't installed. What is this message and why does it appear? I've got this version from a friend of mine who told me the file commander premium is better than the ordinary one. I've tried to install other versions of the file commander premium ,but they are all the same. This message appears while installing some other apps, but I unistall the first version of the app then install the newer one and it works.

I have a Moto W385 I'm trying to mod, and I'm looking for P2k Commander 4.9.C.I have P2k Commander 6.0.0, but things aren't going smoothly, and I've found a couple of posts that said using version 4.9.c was the answer.I've looked in the wiki http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/General_Terms but the links (for the earlier versions, none for 4.9.c) are broken.I haven't found any viable downloads via Google either.Can someone email me 4.9.c or a viable link to download it from?
-or-
Recommend a better P2K app that will work with the finicky W385?

My W385 went through a rough patch. Anyway, I flashed the firmware to it (it was displaying "init usb_bootloader" prior to the flash). Now it displays "needs initial programming" after it boots. My local Verizon "Store" said it could not be restored.

My "new" used W385 will not show EVDO.My other VZW phones do show EVDO.I'm in NYC so EVDO coverage not an issue.Have tried in various parts of the city. Same results.Have rebooted. Removed battery. And reset phone. No difference.Any suggestions on what to try next? Also, what is latest software for this unit? The good news is the RF is even better than my formerly trusty e815.

I purchased a w385 on ebay. When I received it I tested it and the keypad worked, as well as the camera and all the menus.I then proceeded to activate it on Page Plus Cellular. Customer Service rep asked me to press *22890 for the OTA reprogramming and after that sequence/process the keypad stopped working correctly.
After that when I open the flip phone it automatically dials *, sometimes I can dial one or two numbers and then it stops. But the majority of the time none of the numbers, nor the clear, camera, send or menu buttons work.I can still receive calls.To try to fix it I flashed to the latest firmware version (.18). No improvement so then back to the one that was on the phone (.16). Still no improvement.Are there any suggestions to try to have the phone work correctly?

My W385 requires a BT50 battery. The Motorola replacement battery is $25, and is rated at 850 mAh. There are aftermarket batteries available at 1/3 the price, but although it is referred to as a BT50 replacement, it is rated at 1,000 mAh. Is the difference in ratings a problem?

I'm using a Motorola W385 and need to know how to change the way you answer a call.Right now when it rings the phone number shows up on the front, (when closed). When I open the phone it automatically answers the call. I want to change it so I can open the phone and then push "any button" before answering. I thought I read it in the users manual but now I can't find it.

I wrote a post here before realizing that the thread trail (Home -> Forum -> Canadian Carrier Discussion -> TELUS Mobility -> CDMA Network and Devices) was pretty narrow, and the thread itself seemed bloated.So I moved it here. I've done a bit of the "intro" stuff: up/down-loaded pictures/ringtones and changed the cover display, so i'm pretty familiar with p2k Commander. But, like some other folks (and as i say in my post) i found either myself incompetent or the software lacking. Regardless, I've experienced some success with this direction so i think i'm gonna take it as far as i can.

My friend SWIM has a Straight Talk Moto W385 and he wants to change the clock to 24hr time format.SWIM is using PST. After starting PST, SWIM creates a new "feature file" and reads the data from his W385 handset. SWIM changes the clock format setting to 24hr and saves the file. Then SWIM tries to write the data back to his handset, but PST prompts SWIM for a subsidy unlock code.
SWIM has no idea what his subsidy unlock code is, nor does he know how/where to find it.How can SWIM either:
A). Get the magic code to finish this process via PST?
B). Make the 24hr format change using another method?

I have updated my Sony Z2 from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and two "File Commander" are displayed when tap Applications. "Restore to factory" from phone and "Repair my phone" with PC Companion had not any effect. How could I remove the old version?

My old Razr recently gave up. I replaced it with an LG EnV Touch, which is a great phone.I had successfully hacked into the Razr using P2K Commander.I've been using BitPim with my new LG EnV Touch, and while it works "well", it is not the same type of utility: It doesn't give full access (any access?) to the phone directories. It seems mainly useful for uploading ringtones, pics, etc.
I'm trying to download pics FROM the phone. I realize that there are other ways to do that; but I'm just interested in seeing if there is a way to do that with the phone connected.

I just got an update message for update 4.2. something.. I didnt record the full update number/version.I gave the ok to download and install after reading the warning that it might take up to 7 minutes to complete.It has locked with the red dot "M" logo for 30 minutes.What should I do now? Holding the power button does not turn it off , no buttons get any response. I am about to pull the battery and restart but I fear I might cobble up the update and cause more harm.

Last night on my home computer I message popped up that MotoCast had an update. It showed it going from 1.2.9 to something starting with a 2.x number.I thought great, MotoCast is rather incomplete, has error issues and is a bit stale.When I clicked the update it then told me that there was no internet connection (not true).When I went to MotoCast and invoked check for updates it told me that I had the latest version (1.2.9).I also plugged in the MotoActv and checked for any device updates. Nothing (I'm on MA 1.6.12 N16 for my 16 GB unit).

looking around here a couple days ago I saw talk about the update rolling out 'soon', and I decided to check my phone and see if it saw any updates. And it did, when I hit check for system updates it finds the one they were looking for testers for a couple weeks ago, only after I hit download (I've done it 3 times already) and it downloads, I hit install, and my phone powers off, it goes to the screen with the little box, and an arrow, and and android guy, and the progress bar only gets about half way before it suddenly reboots its self, and I'm still on the same version, with an update telling me it's available and if I want to download it when I go back into the about phone in settings

Is anyone else still not able to get the update? When I go to Settings and About it still says "Check for update not available at this time". I get that on wifi and mobile. I called Verizon who said contact Motorola. I then "chatted" with a Motorola tech support person and she said 608 is still rolling out in batches.

I have an R2D2 Droid 2 that I (foolishly) flashed over to the standard Droid 2 system version, in order to run the Gingerbread build for it that came out a couple weeks ago. At the time, I was convinced that the R2 would not be getting a GB build, so I jumped the gun.
Now that the official R2 GB has been released, I would really like to get back to stock. It's kind of the whole reason I bought this phone instead of a regular Droid 2. Unfortunately, along the way I've managed to lose my stock image for the R2, and AFAIK there has never been an SBF released for the R2.
I've been trying for at least a month to come up with a solution to this problem, have scoured the internet (and noticed a lot of people that have had the same problem), and have pretty much run out of ideas at this point. I also know that rooting and flashing aren't necessarily condoned by Motorola in general, but does anyone have any other ideas on how I could get back to stock R2, Froyo or GB, at this point?
