MSU wont work on my vista 64-bit computer (need a different "Gateway" opener

check this FAQ first to see if it helps the issue:
http://www.hacktherazr.com/faq/why-isnt-p2k-commanderp2k-seem-connecting

if still no dice, there is something else that can be done.

Try first to use the newer version of p2k commander and tell its preferences that you are using the phone on a specific port (you will see the port the phone is on if you look at the Motorola USB Modem properties in device manager). the application should then send the suspend command to the phone putting it into p2k mode. A new com port connection should automatically be created for the test command interface. the application uses that interface to send file management commands to the phone.

failing that:

get a terminal emulator program like the old Hyper Terminal on windows XP.
connect that application to the port your phone is on

enter the following command to send it to the phone and suspend the phone to p2k mode:

AT+MODE=8

that is actually the same code that the newer version of p2k commander sends to the phone.

what is the msu thing anyway. yes i now im probably sound like a retard asking a assinine question on a hacker sight. but you all say it all the time and all i want is some google ol' ringtones on my stupid razr V3m from alltel i just need to know how to get this msu thing and put the songs onto my razr. hint hint..... im to poor to pay for txt. (not really it just sounds good) so i cant send them to myself from my laptop. if anyone nows of a better way to get a free ringtone onto a none txt plan then tell me......... thanks to all that read this and call me a retard.
