...there were a few others which had similar information, but these two were the ones I referenced.
That said, I hope this instruction is a little more direct and helps people so that they don't spend 2 and a half hours on something that now only takes me 10 minutes.
How do I access my Motorola VU204?
Download Necessary Software
- motorola usb driver (not pc charging driver)
- Motorola Software Update (MSU) [direct download link]
- P2k Commander (v.4.9E -- normally the higher the better, but 6 didn't work for me and 4.9E did) [p2k commander rapid share search]
Install the Software
Install the driver.
Install the MSU and run it. Let it update your phone. If you have any trouble after an update with the phone not being recognized by your computer (when it is recognized, it reinstalls all the drivers), remove and re-connect the usb cable from your phone. If that doesn't work, unplug it from the back of your computer and plug it into another empty usb port. After updates, you can close it for now, *sighs*, i guess.
Extract P2K Commander and remember where you extract it.
Access My Phone
Run MSU.
Run P2K commander by browsing to the folder you extracted the contents to and running
In a drop down (either side), click the down arrow and select
Voila. You should see your phone data.
What do I do Now?
You can create custom ringtones (i use audacity to select 20-30 seconds of a jam that i like, and have on my computer, and then export it as a lower quality (96/128kb) .mp3 files). Just copy the files by navigating to the mp3 location on your computer on one side of the dual display, and then the
You can also copy over pictures, I'd imagine...and backup all your data from your phone to your computer. Maybe even find some apps and copy them over. Go crazy!
