Keep in mind editing/modifying your phone in anyway is your choice and I will not be held responsible for any damage YOU do to YOUR phone.

THE NEWB GUIDE

Part 1 (What you Need to get)
-For people that want to try it with your own seems then you need to know how to SEEM EDIT
-buy data cable (This is the same cable that many digital cameras and other devices use.)
-(-Download WINRar (search Google) so you can unpack P2KMan and V3 Video.rar)
-download p2kman (you will also need either MPT or PST drivers for p2kman to recognize your phone, no posts about why p2kman wont recongize your phone in this thread, rather you should start a new thread).
-download V3 Video.rar I put together
-Check Firmware on your phone and make sure it is 90R or newer. I recommend you get one of newest reflash files from http://www.planetmotox.net . To check firmware press *#9999# or menu>settings>phone status>other information>S/W Version.

**Note** If you dont have a current enough flash on the phone (min 8.23 bootloader) then you will need to do firmware update, there is more information about the procedure in the flashing and firmware section or look here: http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic37661.html

Part 2 (Making Backups)
-Open p2kman
-Above the Download seems button in the FROM box type 0032 & in the TO box also type 0032.
-Click download and save the file to a location but do NOT rename it, just leave as xxxx_yyyy
-Above the Download seems button in the FROM box type 004a & in the TO box also type 004a.
-Click download and save the file to a location but do NOT rename it, just leave as xxxx_yyyy
-Click on update list button
-find directory /a/mobile/system
-highlight file mma_ucp and press phone to pc button, save the file in the same location as you two backup seems
-highlight file mma_dcp and press phone to pc button, save the file in the same location as you two backup seems

Part 3 (Uploading New Seems)
-Extract V3 Video.rar
-Open P2kman
-Have phone on, sim in and connect to computer with cable
-Above the upload seems button, in the box labelled SEEM type 0032. In the box labelled REC type 0001.
-Click on the upload seem button and locate seem 0032_0001 in the V3 Video file.
-Wait till p2kman says ok
-Above the upload seems button, in the box labelled SEEM type 004a. In the box labelled REC type 0001.
-Click on the upload seem button and locate seem 004a_0001 in the V3 Video file.
-Wait till p2kman says ok

Part 4 (Uploading New Menu Files)
-Click on update list button
-Open directory /a/mobile/system
-Locate mma_ucp, hightlight by single clicking on the file and then click on pc to phone
-Locate mma_ucp in the V3 Video folder and click open.
-Click on the update list (this step is prob not necessary but doesnt harm anything)
-Again go back to directory /a/mobile/system
-Locate mma_dcp, hightlight by single clicking on the file and then click on pc to phone
-Locate mma_dcp in the V3 Video folder and click open.
-Click on the update list (this step is prob not necessary but doesnt harm anything)
-When list is done updating click on the restart phone button, when p2kman says phone is disconnected remove data cable.
-When phone powers up again Video should be enabled.

Alright everyone I have updated my V3 Video.rar, and its being hosted at motoaide, click on the link above to visit the faqs section of motoaide and the fixed file is at the bottom. Check out all the other info that is available while you are there.

xXxSamsungxXx,

excellent eplanation . thx very much. Do you know how i can upload a skin to motorola v3 cell? ive downloaded some skins from web they have lots of files and im not sure how to upload them or wich program to use. thx in advance.

Samsung,

I've read your instruction and followed it...except I have a question?The file v3_video_rar is a adobe reading file ...how do I extract it like you mention?

John

it shouldn't be. It is a rar file.

Like duc said its a Rar file, extract with winrar.

Oh and the file that I have up right now is from a Cingular firmware and for some reason will only display cingular on the alpha tag. If you have T-Mobile as your service provider I have also created a fix for this problem, a new V3 Video pack but have not uploaded it yet. I will keep you posted as soon as it hits my site.

I got it, I got it to work...it now record up to 1 min. of video, but

HELP...HELP..

I can't get to Setting>Personalize>Please wait...... it just seat there, loading and loading....what did I do wrong?! Everything work but that..

J

Try master reset

The master reset code is: 00000 rite?

If it is, no good.......I still can't get into setting>personalize
