For Advance mod users:
Biginners: click here to learn more.

By now you have some ideas of how to mod your V600 through hexing of seems. Here is another option to change your original startup/shutdown screen to a Winxp verison just like the computer with audio. I have it and it looks great!!

What you need:
usb data cable (bluetooth will not work)
P2kman
PST Phone Programmer (you need this to have p2kman working)
V600-XP file. GEt it here.
xvi32 edit tool. Get it here.
___________________

Start:
Turn off the motorola OEM startup/shutdown animiation.
Get seems 0032_0001,004a_0001. Make a backup copy and save it to any folder.
The moto startup is in 0032_0001 seem at offset 1D, bit #3
The moto shutdown is in 0032_001 seem at offset 31, bit #0

Now turn on the Custom startup/shutdown animation.
The custom startup in in 004a_0001 seem at offset 23. Set the offset to "01 to turn it on.
The custom shutdown is in 0032_0001 seem at offset 46, bit #0

When finish, upload these two files back to phone with P2kman.
*Don't close p2kman just yet.*

Now, you need to retreive some files from the V600-XP folder.
There are many to choice from. You can explore with your taste. I will use my examples for my V600 phone. Under wakeup and shutdown screen folder: Pick custwakeup_coolcut, and custgoodbye_coolcut. You will need to rename it to custwakeup & custgoodbye.

We are ready to download these files and others to phone.
For the custwakeup & custgoodbye gif files, download back to phone using extension /a/

Locate folder backgrounds-screensaver folder.
Download files backgrounds & sceensaver to phone using extension /a/mobile/picture/

Locate folder sounds.
Download files power~down & start~up to phone using extension /a/mobile/audio/
Note: I am not sure if using extension /a/ alone will work as well. Doing it with the fist extension listed will show up on the phone sound folder. I changed the attribute on mine so these files are hidden.

You are almost done.
The last thing we need to do is change the display color so it matches the XP wallpaper we are going to use.
Located folder xpv1.2 colour scheme.
Download spcolor to phone using extension /a/mobile/system/

Finally, do a restart on phone using the restart button located in p2kman.
Disconnect the phone. Once your back on the homescreen, choice the wallpaper & screensaver files you have downloaded.

Test your phone by shutting down and turning it back on.

You are done.

****Update*****
-If your startup sound does not work, edited:
0032_0001 > offset 24 > bit 3 [Check]

all worked a treat for me and it was my 1st attempt at modifying the V600.

Many many thanks

I have read how to change the custwake (welcome image) in a V600 model. I have a C333 model, with the cable, the p2kman and pst phone programmer.
My question is: Can I download and modify the seem like a V600 model or there are another seems to modify?
Thank you.

Most moto phones have the same seem files. However, I can't promise if it will work for your C series.

I did all of this in the directions. Everything works except the start up sound. What am I missing??

will this work on a V551?

Not sure if it will work. This tutorial was made before the V551 came out. Seems like the V551 uses the same seems files. Just backup your files just incase it doesn't work if you are willing to try.

hey i did the same and they all worked prefectly except for the startup animation. any help plz?
