Mark_Venture's V710/E815/V3C Info

While originally written for the Verizon Moto V710, this same information can apply to the E815, V3C, V3M, KRZR K1m phones also, with minor adjustments. It can even apply to the V265 and V325 with minor adjustments (i.e. many of the Seem edits that work on the V710 appear to also work on the V265 and V325) But because it was originally written for the V710, please be sure to READ all the text, including any FINE PRINT. Most problems people have with these pages can be attributed to "SKIMMING" rather than READING!

For more phone model specific info, please use the links on the left prior to consulting the HOW TO's page.

NOTE: I update this page and add new info when time permits... I do not always update the "News" page with a complete list of changes, corrections, etc. unless its MAJOR.

CDMAFORUMS.COM is hosting these pages, the advertisements now included on these pages are to benefit them, and help subsidize their costs of hosting these pages. I have taken the liberty to add them as a way to THANK JIM for hosting these pages for the last YEAR+ and not asking for anything in return... I make no money in anyway from creating, maintaining these pages, or posting in the various forums. It is done in my spare time as a HOBBY!!

This is the information on the Motorola V710 for Verizon Wireless that I have collected... While this information may also work on V710's from other carriers, I only have a Verizon phone, so I can not say for sure. If you phone is not from Verizon, use this information at your own risk.

All info provided here is stuff I have learned. Most of it comes from the work of superdavex, V710 FAQ thread, V710.ORG, nuclearelephant.com/papers/v710info.html, motov710.********.com, inetron.com, and the other (too many to mention them all) great members of Howardforums.com, as well as what I have found working on my own. Please also see my Links page

!!WARNING!! Some of the information on these pages contains "HACKS" so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither I, nor CDMAFORUMS.COM CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FRY YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF USING ANY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THIS SITE!!

Note: Verizon has "locked down" the V710/E815/V3C/V3M and disabled some of its more useful features. To accomplish some of the tasks outlined on this site and the contained links, seem edits to the phone are required to re-enable some features.

SEEM Edits are considered HACKS!!! SEEM edits can damage your phone and will void your warranty. Improper use of the tools to accomplish SEEM edits can damage your phone. So use at your own risk!!

If you wish to retain your phone's warranty, the ability to have a Verizon Store exchange your phone, etc, STOP RIGHT NOW... HACKS invalidate your warranty. If Verizon can prove you have "hacked" your phone in anyway, they will NOT replace it!!

IF you mess up your phone by doing this, or anything on this site, do not expect Verizon, Motorola, CDMAFORUMS.COM or ME to replace your phone!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! You have been warned!!

Note: Flashing your phone and/or doing SEEM Edits Voids your warranty!!

NOTE: A proper USB Data cable will be required. Additional cable info on the FAQ page.

Please Note: I DO NOT have the software for distribution. If you need it, it is up to you to acquire it.
