Flashing your firmware (upgrade)
1) Download and install RSDlite v2.8+
EDITED BY MOD; no WAREZ please; i know this is sad but please do not post warez, just GOOGLE IT
2) FULLY charge battery to prevent turning your phone into a paperweight ( "brick", "bricking")
3) Download the firmware for your E6 as preferred, the latest release to my understanding is the .08p found below
Changes/Fixes to this Firmware http://www.*****************/Motorola...er=asc&start=0 wrote:
1. Screen3 Enabled
2. Voicemail Bug gone
3. EQ in Real Player Enabled
4. New ringtones/wallpapers
5. Camera shutter sound can be disable
6. New Tools: Google Search, MusicID
7. New Games: Platinum, Asphalt 2 (Old games removed)
8. 5 shortcut icons and only two editable
9. Battery meter improved, now with 5%, 20% (when charging)
4)On your phone, go to Setup > USB mode > MODEM > Save
5)Turn off your phone
6)Hold the Camera hotkey ( top right ) and then Power On (End Call button) together until a red screen turns on. it should say
" MBM FLASH MODE "
7)Run RSDLite
8)Install drivers if asked to do so
9)Plug the data cable from your computer to your E6
10)Look for RSDlite to say " Connected " before proceeding ( may take a minute, if not, restart RSDlite )
11)At the top, click the " ... " button to browse for the firmware you downloaded and select it
12)click " start " and watch for any notifications that tells you to install drivers, install as they are presented to you.
13)It may ask you to manually restart the phone – if so, unplug the cable from PC, remove the battery for 5 seconds , put battery back in then turn phone back on. Set it back to USB MODE > MODEM, then plug it back into the computer.
14)If it says "passed" or "completed", unplug the phone, and restart it.
15)Completed flashing of your firmware

If you have any problems then don’t panic – the best thing is to close RSDLite, unplug the phone, take out the battery, replace then try again from the start.
1. If you get any of the following error messages that have been reported by users, then it appears most have been resolved by starting the flash process from the start:
- The "secure_motorola_flash" interface could not be found the super-file is secure and for re-flash, the phone needs a super-file that is not secure and for reflash. (0x7066)
- “flashing couldn't be complete because of licensed data”
- “error jumping to RAM downloader”
- a red line across their battery after flashing
2. Try a different USB port – a lot of users have stated that changing the USB port they have their phone plugged into helps, this is most likely because windows will reinstall all the drivers.
3. Try a different version of RSD Lite.
4. Make sure you put your phone in to USB MODEM MODE before plugging it back in. If you do not do this your system will not install all the devices correctly.
5. Try a different version of the firmware.
Problem: Phone can not read SIM card or has no signal after flashing
Some users experienced problems with the phone reading the SIM card or not getting a signal after flashing (ie it searches and finds nothing). If this happens to you then try the following:
1. Tap on status bar in home screen. Switch off antenna tap ok on the bottom. Then switch on antenna again. (You may need to repeat this a couple of times)
2. If that doesn't work, change the network band to 850/1900 [dial pad-->menu button (at bottom left)-->setup--> network setup--> menu button--> search setup--> band and put it on 850/1900. After that close all those things and you should have service again. Once you get your service back, repeat the steps and put it on automatic again.
If i make this any simpler, i would be holding your hand and helping you seem edit your phone for you.
1) Download and install Radiocomm ( during installs, be PATIENT as it has many drivers to install, even after the initial installation. It may look like its installing and stuck at 99% but just keep waiting. )
Download: Radiocomm 11.0.3
for modding your E6 to Quad Band step by step with pictures , drives and radiocomm ready to install , be patients with the drivers install for this phone will take some time to install all drivers , copy and paste all of them in C:Windows/system32/drivers when new hardware ask for the drives find this is these route.
any question fell free to contack me
americatel
I've also found and used this notepad .txt with all the correct SEEMS posted by another user ( sorry can't find original username ). Using this .txt will prevent editting your phone with the wrong SEEM values ( without gaps etc)
Just use the seems that are titled " MODDED ". The OEM(original) seem values are included in case you happen to mess up.
So to activate EDGE on ROKR E6 we need:
1. RadioComm 10.3.1 or newer
2. Of course A Rokr E6
3. A basic knowledge of RadioComm.
4. A service provider that has EDGE network
In RadioComm click on the GSM 2 tab directly below it is Stelem/Rdelem box in those box's enter.
Code:
Element ID= 0341
Record #= 0001
Offset= 0000
Length= 0001
after you entered the information press the Rdelem button. in the Data box you will get the seem in HEX.
Code:
original seem
FF (yours maybe different)
Change it to:
01
After you change it press Stelem button. Move to next step.
Code:
Element ID= 0340
Record #= 0001
Offset= 0000
Length= 0008
after you entered the information press the Rdelem button. in the Data box you will get the seem in HEX.
Code:
original seem
0000000000000000 (yours maybe different)
Change it to:
0905030201020000
After you change it press Stelem button. Move to next step.
Code:
Element ID= 02AF
Record #= 0001
Offset= 0000
Length= 0008
after you entered the information press the Rdelem button. in the Data box you will get the seem in HEX.
original seem
Code:
002700FA20000000 (yours maybe different)
Change it to:
007500FA20000000
After you change it press Stelem button. Move to next step.
This step is optional. The difference is 01 icon stays on, 03 the icon is only on when connected. It's a matter of preference.
Code:
Element ID= 010A
Record #= 0001
Offset= 0000

After you change it press Stelem button. Move to next step.
Code:
Element ID= 0032
Record #= 0001
Offset= 0000
Length= 0200
after you entered the information press the Rdelem button. in the Data box you will get the seem in HEX.

(Depends on if you've made any changes before. so default will not be posted)
How to change it.
scroll through the data box look for FEFEFF03 change the 3 to 7
After you change it press Stelem button. Move to next step.
1. Unrar the file. You will see it consists of a folder called .system.
2. Plug in the phone, then use Windows Explorer to copy the entire old .system folder from the SD card to a safe place on your PC (so can recover if necessary). [If you can not see the .system file then you do not have “View hidden files” on].
3. Copy the entire .system folder from the rar file to replace the one on your SD card.
4. Unplug the phone from the PC and restart it. You should see a MPKG icon under Application Launcher on your phone.
5. You do NOT run this program by clicking it - rather you open files with extension *.pkg by holding the stylus on the file until a small menu displays. Select “Open With” and select MPKG.
[If you have already installed some programs on your SD card before installing MPKG then you should uninstall then before doing the above otherwise you will not be able to access them anymore (phone doesn't find them). You can reinstall them when complete]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing LINLOADER **MPKG must be installed**
Exclamation MPKG must be installed first as you need mpkg to install linloader.
1. Download the loader_A1200.pkg file from above
2. Copy the file to the root folder of your SD card (Make sure extension says .pkg - not .mpkg)
3. Unplug the phone from the PC then use the phone's File Manager to find the file.
4. Hold the stylus on the file until a small menu displays. Select “Open With” and choose MPKG. You should hear a bell indicating the program has loaded.
5. Turn the phone off and on and you should see a Loader icon (a yellow smiley) appearing under Application Launcher.
If the file extension is *.pkg then:
1. Copy the file to a folder on the SD card. The folder can be called anything (eg "My Downloads").
2. Unplug the phone from the PC then find the file using the phone's File Manager
3. Hold the stylus on the file until the small menu displays. Select "Open With" and choose "MPKG". You should hear a bell indicating the program has loaded.
4. Turn the phone off and on and you should see the new program's icon under the Application Launcher
Note: If a file has the extension of *.mpkg, you should rename it to *.pkg before trying to install it.
1-Download either(or both) HK or MOTO version of the dictionary
2-Download Longman_tc.dat
3-Place all three files into your memory card ROOT
4-On your phone, go to File Manager > Memory Card > XXXXXXX.pkg (Whichever version you downloaded)
5-Put your cursor on the file until a menu pops up, choose " OPEN WITH " > Select " MPKG " and wait until some words are displayed, just push the X on the bottom right.
6-Don't touch anything, it's installing and will reboot.
7-After reboot, go to your mainmenu and the dictionary should be installed.

Installing GAMES
1) Download the game you'd like ( Can be found in E6/A1200 topics )
2) Extract to desktop
3) Drag and drop .jarinto your Memory Card
4) On your phone, find the file on your memory card, put your cursor on the .jar and hold it, on the menu that pops up, select INSTALL
5) Wait
6) Confirm it's been installed successfully ( the install file will delete itself )
7) Open your game from your main menu
First you will need USB net, it's attached to post, and MPKG installer.
1.unrar the USB net file and put it in your SD card.
2.Access the file from your filemanager in your phone and install the .pkg file. To install the file, hold on the .pkg file and wait for the menu. On the menu go to "open with" and choose the MPKG installer. Then wait for a wile until you here the beep. Then, restart your phone and you should have a USBnet app in your app's.
3. Now click on USBnet app once, then From file manager go to your SD card and you should fine a folder "sbin". open sbin and there should be a "tnlg" file. hold on the tnlg file till the menu comes up and choose "open with" and choose the usb net app.
4. Now, access your phone USB settings and choose modem, and save settings. Then connect the phone to the PC with a USB cable. Then access the SD card again from file manager, open the Sbin folder and open up the tnlg file.
5. Now your computer should have detected the "motorola usb modem" install the drivers automaticly thrhough the windows installer pop-up and press finish once done with instalaition of the drivers.
6. now go to run>cmd.
7. in the text type in "ipconfig" without the quotes. Sorry in the pic i put "ipconfig /all" Don't do that, just type in ipconfig and press enter.
8. now you should have your regular internet device plus another one. it should be some random number, with the ipconfig of 192.168.16.1
Now write that Ipaddress down, and add 1 to the end of it, so it makes, 192.168.16.2
8. Now in the CMD prompt type in "telnet 192.168.16.2" without the quotes and it should take you to this:
type root in the text area and press enter.
9. now open up my computer, at the navigation bar type in "\\192.168.16.2\system" without the quotes
10. now press enter and your in the root of your phone!
anyone, please feel free to tell me the things wrong, or things that need to be added to the guide. I didn't add the skin and theme installer guide because im not familiar with it at all, sorry about that.

ROKR E2... Stolen modded to hell
MAXX V6 USB Kissed of Death branded
I don't know about voice dial and gps enabling, but on the MPKG, put on the attched .system file with the ms batch file. It's configured to work with E6 only, be sure not to click on the ms batch file on the phone or the computer, or it erases all the phones system files.
On the E6, “skin” means
• all display icons
• all GUI components like buttons, status bar, scrollbar, etc.
while “theme” means
• the poweron/poweroff animation screen (by default usually the Motorola startup)
• the wallpaper.
Skins and Themes can be changed separately.
The skin configuration data is stored in a file called ezx_skins.cfg while the theme configuration data is in a file called ezx_theme.cfg. Both of these are located in the /ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup folder within the phone’s folder structure (so is not directly accessible unless you install a program like telnet).
Changing themes and skins is one of the most common means that users kill their phones. You must not change themes and skins simply by installing them using linloader or else you run the risk of freezing your phone. (This is different from previous Motorola phones where you could simply install additional themes). The reason is the limited space in the ezx_usr folder. If it fills up the memory it will not leave enough space and will freeze the phone when you reboot. The following 2 situations can cause this to occur:
• if a skin or theme is added to ezx_usr and does not leave sufficient free memory
• you get an error during theme installation, then you try to select that partially installed theme and then reboot the phone
If your phone has crashed then the phone will hang on turning it on - it will freeze on either the motorola screen or startup wall paper of theme. If you try to turn it off using the red power key, it will just beep and do nothing. The only way to turn it off is to take out the battery.
If this happens, first try to take out the battery, wait a few minutes and then reinsert and turn back on. If it still freezes then the only solution is to flash your phone to restore it back to vanilla (This will also wipe out all your stuff including contacts/sms/files...everything on the phone!! – so make sure that you back these up using Motorola Phone Tools before trying any theme/skin changes. Even though the phone has frozen you will still be able to get it into boot mode (see section on flashing)
If you are not sure or have a firmware version that you can not recover then it is recommended that you do not change your phone’s skins or theme!
What method do I use to Change Skins/Themes
There are several ways described in the various threads to change themes/skins. Some seem to work for some people and not for others so it is hard to write a general set of instructions. Two of the methods that I tried are (1) using a skin/theme installer program written by eakrin; and (2) using the linloader script. I froze my phone twice just using the linloader method requiring me to reflash it (see caution above), but found that that Eakrins’ method only changed the status and scroller bar colors and did not change the Global Navigation Bar (GNB) icons at the top and the shortcut icons at the bottom.
After a lot of experimentation I found that using a combination of the two methods appears to be a successful (and safe!) way to install skins. At a high level you need to do the following (detailed instructions for each step follow):
1. Download the skin you want and install the skin using Eakrin’s Skin Installer program.
2. Turn the phone off and on
3. If only the status and scroll bar has changed, but not the icons, then use linloader to run that skin's lin file to complete the change
4. Turn the phone off and on and the skin should now be complete.
If you want to change the phone to another skin then use Eakrin's Skin Installer to install the next skin (which will delete the old skin). When you turn the file back on, you will notice the icons have returned to the grey default. It is now safe to use linloader to run the next skin's lin file. Using this method I have successfully changed over a dozen skins.
[IMG]http://www.*****************/MotorolaFansPHPbb/images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif[/IMG] NEVER RUN LINLOADER two times in a row without running Eakrin's skin installer first to clear out the old skin - otherwise you run the risk of filling up the memory and freezing the phone.
2. How to Install Eakrin’s Skin and Theme Installers
Eakrin’s program is a mpkg program that changes the phone to the selected skin or theme, by first deleting the old skin/theme before installing the new skin file into /ezx_user/download/skin and the theme file into /ezx_user/download/theme - so it does not fill up the memory.
1. Download Eakrin’s skin installer and theme installer.
2. These are regular zip files so you will need to Unzip them before copying them to your phone.
3. Copy these two *.pkg files to a folder on your phone’s SD card.
4. Install them using mpkg installer.
2a. How to Change Your Phone’s Skin - Part 1
To change your skin perform the following steps:
1. Select a skin that you like. See the following web sites for a huge selection: http://www.mototheme.com
(The one that I like is tlinux1 !)
[IMG]http://www.*****************/MotorolaFansPHPbb/images/smiles/icon_arrow.gif[/IMG] Even though many of the skins displayed in this forum and on the various skins websites are shown with Chinese characters - they will have your default language when installed - with some exceptions – if an icon has Chinese letters as part of the icon they will still be in Chinese; and the words for "Mobile"; "Home" and "Office" under Contacts stayed as Chinese characters – probably because these are also icons.
2. Download the rar file to your pc.
3. Unrar it – each skin should consist of a folder containing a number of skin and theme files:
eg: Code: tlinux1\
tlinux1.pskn
tlinux1.skn
iconres.ezx
logo file in jpg or png (optional)
off/on gifs
It should also contain a lin file e.g. tlinux1.lin (Not all skin developers have included this in their skin package however)
4. Create a folder called “themes” directly under the root on your SD card.
5. Copy the entire skin folder under this themes folder on your SD card. e.g. e:\themes\tlinux1
6. Copy the lin file directly under the themes folder (ie move it out of its skin folder)
e.g: Code: themes\
tlinux1\
tlinux1.lin
[IMG]http://www.*****************/MotorolaFansPHPbb/images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif[/IMG] IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not have any spaces in any of the folder names (ie do NOT call it themes\fun skin\) This will prevent the programs from installing.
7. For skin installation, use the phone's File Manager to find the *.pskn file in the skin folder. Hold the stylus on the file until the small menu appears. Select “Open with” and choose the skin installer. If it has worked you should hear a woman's voice saying “Installation complete”.
8. Restart the phone to make new skin active.
You should see the new skin installed. If only the status and scroll bar have changed then you will also need to do part 2b using linloader.
2b. How to Change Your Phone’s Skin - Part 2
1. Always run Eakrins installer program prior to doing this to clear out any old skins.
2. Create a new folder called "install" (without quotes) right under the themes\ folder on the SD card (ie themes\install) The .lin file copies some text file to this folder during installation
3. Use Program Manager to find the skin's lin file and tap and hold the stylus on the file until the small menu appears. Select “Open with” and choose the loader program (It may take up to 10 seconds to complete - you should hear a set of beeps when done).
4. Restart the phone and the icons should now have changed.
Note 1: On successful installation, you should see that three files 1) on.gif 2) off.gif 3) desk.jpg from choosen skin folder have been copied directly under the themes\ folder on SD card. This verifies that install worked correctly.
Note 2: You do not have to run the same skin's *.lin file as you installed with Eakrin's program. If you like the status/scroll bar to be one skin's style and the icons to be another skin's style then this works ok. (ie can install tlinux1 with Eakrin's installer then run LEE_blue.lin skin.)
2c. How to Change your Phone’s Theme
Changing your theme changes the animations displayed when you start and turn off your phone. Any theme can be used with any skin (or by itself)
Not all skins packages have associated themes files packaged with them. A themes file has the extension *.phm. The skin TLINUX is one skin that has a theme associated with it - which gives an orange screen with a cute linux penguin animation.
If you find a theme that you like in one skin package it can be copied to the skin folder that you want to install.
1. Copy the *.phm file to the skin folder that you have installed
2. Hold the stylus on the *.phm file until the small menu appears. Select “Open with” and choose the theme installer. If it has worked you should hear a voice saying “Installation complete”.
3. Restart your phone to make new theme active.
3. How to restore back to default skin and theme.
The original skin can be set back to the default by going to Setting -->Scheme on the phone and changing it there. However this does not delete the additional skin. Instead the skin and theme installer should be used to remove the old skin and replace it back to the default. This is done as follows:
1. Download the file with the A1200 default skin and theme from the same place as you found the Skin/theme installers.
2. Do as the above for changing skins/themes
3. Restart your phone to make default skin and theme active.
