It sounds like some seem edits got messed up and you have probably overwritten your websessions. Unless you have backup seems I'm afraid your best bet is a new flex

Tks for info. Could be that you're right, although I have been strictly following procedures:

(1)
used to have s/w R374_G_0E.40.3ER_A and upgraded to R374_G_0E.42.08R. At same instance DSP s/w was upgraded from 62202000 to 62343400 and language mod from 0039 to 0003.

(2)
Needed to install Keypad fix flex as keypad was blocked after the reflash >> now keypad OK

(3)
Then followed Samsung's instructions to the letter as mentioned in his THE NEWB GUIDE >> section FOR THE ADVANCED USERS >> last edited by Samsung on Thu Mar 16, 2006 5:53 am (Page 1 on http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic35106.html)

//

Websessions are OK because I can receive MMS and can view pictures in the MMS. I only can not store pictures, which makes sense as I can also not access the Picture folder in menu MultiMedia, although the icon is present.

In the same MultiMedia section, I also find the Camera icon, but can not access it to take a still image.

The Video camera icon is present, accessible and functions as it should.

Both QuickDial and SpeedDial icons are present, but only SpeedDial is accessible, i.e. QuickDial is dead.

//

Files modified by Seems edit using P2Kman and XVI32 are following:
- 0032_0001.seem
- 004a_0001.seem
- mma_dcp
- mma_ucp

I have backup of originals.

If something went wrong with the Seems edit, then it could be that screwup of still camera happened during these actions. However, QuickDial is not involved in these mods.

>> Would it be sufficient to restore the backup of these originals?

Tks 4 helping out.

Found the solution icon_biggrin.gif !!!!

Downloaded from http://www.planetmotox.net/monster_packs.php following monsterpack :
S/W Version: R374_G_0E.42.10R.shx
Flex Version: GSMV3xxT677GA164
New Bootloader: BOOT0826
Language Pack: 0039
Video Recording: Capable
Stock Moto/Unlocked
[14.1 MB]
[Uploaded.Feb.20.06]

.... and installed with MultiFlashFlex.

Then cleaned a number of unused files and have now approx. 9 Mb total available.

All previous problems, i.e. un-accessible still camera, folder /pictures and QuickDial are all working again.

RAZR V3 working like charm icon_biggrin.gif.

Tks for helping out.

My V3i from Edge Wireless has video enabled but has the just-under-1-minute limit. I can NOT make the MMS video length option appear - yes, I have hacked the seems. No, I am not new at seem hacking - I'm no guru but this V3i is my third P2K phone, after a V300 and then a V555. However, I did find an alternative way to change the length. You use this method:

Quote:

Video Camera Hacks for RAZR V3i
seem 004e_0001
offset 412 no bit manipulation change offset value to 01 for 1 mb
offset 412 no bit manipulation change offset value to 14 for 5 mb
offset 412 no bit manipulation change offset value to 28 for 10 mb


But unfortunately p2ktools only seems to see 004e_0001 go to offset 1FF and stop. So I thought this was the length of my seem, like my phone was different.

Well, apparently my phone IS different in some ways. I tried a couple of V3i-tested funlights and they didn't work. Finally got one. But ALSO, the P2KMenuEditor program crashes every time it tries to load my menu. I looked in it with xvi32 and it turns out that some of the names used in my V3i are not the same as other phones. One of them is even misspelled and still seems to work. Weird.

Anyway if you use p2kman it can properly retrieve the entire 004e_0001.seem file. So then I used xvi32 to edit it as normal, and then re-upload with p2kman. This worked great! I changed it to 28*3=84 (just showing you the thought process) and it worked like a champ. It went from saying I could shoot over 100 videos to saying I could shoot ten videos. I have also switched to mp4 video and I am using high quality. I have a 512MB MicroSD with three albums at 112kbps on it (137MB total) and anything else on the card was put there by the phone.

Otherwise I pretty much followed the guide as normal except instead of choosing "MMS" for the size under the video camera options, I chose "Maximum". I have 004e_0001 offset 412 set to 99 right now and I'm letting the phone sit around next to my computer recording a really boring part of my office... but the idea isn't to check up on the video quality, it's to prove that the video can be long. The last one was a few minutes, and previously I was limited to about one minute (56 seconds on my last trial run before switching over to p2kman and being able to download the seem file.)

P2KTools is a pretty righteous program but I'd be happier if, you know, it actually worked. Guess it's back to p2kman for me... it doesn't do all that fancy stuff, but I know it works. It's been recording for several minutes now (well, three of them) and there's no sign of problems. The last video clip I recorded (when it was set to 84) was 3.5MB which is something of a coup anyway icon_smile.gif

If someone else can verify this maybe we can somehow flag it so that people can find it easier.

my software is R479_G_08.B5.3DR which I have noticed is the latest version I can find for a monster pack. My phone is from Edge Wireless and it's quad-band and came without a provider lock. (Apparently my V555 is unlocked, too... they say they don't lock phones.) They JUST got the V3i like a week and a half ago, so it makes sense they would have the latest software. But, apparently some significant things change in it. That, or their flex is highly wonky. The flex came with the moto music player (no iTunes) and with bejeweled, asphalt urban gt, and solitaire, in case anyone is curious.

Now that I've got ring lights, event lights, and a reasonable video recording length, I heart my V3i.

I HAVE A GOOD QUESTION. I WANT TO USE MY V3 AS A CAMERA FOR VIDEO CONFERENCING ON MY LAPTOP. THE PHONE WILL NATURALLY CLAMP OVER THE SCREEN. THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME SORT OF DRIVER THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO THIS. IF THERE ISN'T, THERE SHOULD BE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?[/b]

There is a russian program that sort of allows it - its called motocam - but I found it to be unstable in the extreme.

I have the same problem on my RAZR. I installed a monster pack on it, and now my Browser is all weird, and has an Accept button on every page. It's annoying because everything is misaligned, and Opera is kind of a pain. I'd appreciate any advice!

Yeah, I called Cingular today. They reset my browser's "feature settings" (whatever that meant). Still no change when I restarted the phone.

I thought about putting the old settings back in? Like, using the backups saved during the tutorial. I'm not sure if that would screw things up more.

Just curious as to what you'd probably do. I just haven't found anyone with this issue.
