Tutorial – Flashing your Motorola mobile
In this tutorial I’ll teach how to flash your mobile.
Before you download any firmware or bootloader from somewhere, make sure they are compatible with your mobile, as if you install the wrong will brick your phone. Also make sure to have the battery fully charged before continue.
Also remember that flashing your mobile breaks the Motorola Contract and you will lose your warranty, so any future problems that may occur will be charged by the maintenance guys.
Remember to fully charge the battery of your mobile before making any changes and make a backup (pictures, music, everything you can), because they usually are deleted during the flash proccess, specially if they aren’t in a memory card. Flashing bootloaders usually won’t delete any data, but its advisable to backup it.
Let’s begin the tutorial:
First you need to download RSD Lite. I recommend using RSD Lite V. 4.2. After installing RSD Lite, install the lastest USB drivers available: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/, if you do not want to register in this site, you can download ‘em here:
Windows 32 Bits: http://www.mediafire.com/?g5wmmyymggx
Windows 64 bits: http://www.mediafire.com/?ztudkdm2hnd
- After installing the lastest USB drivers available, restart your computer.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Connections > USB Settings > Modem, then connect your mobile in your computer using the usb cable. And open RSD Lite.
- It should reconize your mobile just as the image below:
- Click in the “…” button, select the firmware or bootloader you want to install on your mobile. Before flashing make sure its compatible with your phone model. For example: V8 512 MB firmwares aren’t compatible with V8 2GB firmwares neither Luxury nor V9, so if they are made to V8 512 MB its JUST to V8 512 MB and should not be installed in any other mobile as it will brick it.
- Then click in the Start button.
- Do not remove and avoid use the computer during the flash proccess. Do not unplug the usb cable and do not turn off your computer, cuz if you do that will brich your mobile. After you click in the start button will appear a progress bar showing the percent of what has been done already. Your phone will restart after completing the proccess, but you should not disconnect it from the computer ‘til the message “PASS” appear, as the image below:
If you followed all those steps your mobile should have the new firmware/bootloader/linuxmod/whatever. Have fun ;).
Is it worth buy the Motorola Razr² V8?
Many people saw the cool commercial, videos over the internet about the Motorola Razr² V8, and aways wonder: is it worth to buy the Motorola Razr² V8?
In this article I will show all positives and negatives sides of this mobile phone, that I’ve found in the last two (!) years using it, thus it will possible remove doubts you may have.
Positive side:
- 2 GB internal memory. Ok its not that big compared to some others smartphones which have over 8 GB and such, but it seems enough if you won’t put too many files inside it. I have about 100 musics in it, just as backup as I listen then in my iPod. And I still 900~MB free space (i also have a few videos and pictures inside it).
- A very nice design.
- Screen with great quality. You can even compare to other phones with similiar price and you will see that V8 has the best screen, with vivid colors.
- Great song, even though its not that loud it has a great song quality, with no noises. The song of good-quality .mp3 files are just perfect.
- Windows Media Player 11+ integration. So you can add musics to your mobile using it, easier, faster and neater.
- Completely plug ‘n play, no need to install additional drivers or programs, just plug it with the USB cable and everything should work fine.
- Better keys than the olders flip mobiles of Motorola.
Negative side:
- No memory card slot.
- Not 3G.
- USB cover too fragile.
- It has still a long way till moders are able to add more functions to this mobile. Even though they are doing a great job!
- Some Java Games run too slow.
If you know any other negative or positive side leave a message. And of course the best way to know if you really gonna like the mobile is testing it.
So before you buy, go to a store (they usually have some mobiles which you can play a bit :P!) then if you like it, you buy. ;)

Change Bluetooth name
Its simpler than it seems. Some people even know how to go to the place, but don’t know how to because the bluetooth is off.
First off all, turn your Bluetooth On: Menu > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Options > Manage > Setup Bluetooth > Power > On.
After turning the bluetooth on, continue in Setup Bluetooth menu, and click on “My Device” menu, then rename to anything you want.
Very easy, isnt it? :D
