    To Jordan,

    Use P2KTools to install skins, theme, etc.
    There is some tools in motomodders.net : P2Kmanager, that specially use to install new skin to E398.
    And find some users manual in that site too.

                Hello, I really interested on this Moto E398, i like computer much even though i;m not a advanced user yet...
                that's why i'm deeply attracted to this E398 and it's modifications.
                I got some very basic questions here, i'm afraid it'll be a disturbance if i put it into the forum :(
                -what is PST?
                -what is flex/flash?
                -what is reflash and reflex means? is it kinda upgrading my firmware?
                -what is RSD / RSD Lite?
                -the OS is synergy right? any suggestions website where i can download some applications? it's my first tie for phone with OS, and many people says to find a symbian OS because it's more worldwide known
                -this p2ktools, i run it from my windows right?

                please reply to my email if u think it's useless to explain it here :)
                thanks

                      To set up SMS delivery reports, you will need P2kman and a hex editor. Details of the settings can be found at http://xlr8.us/hofo/map.txt

                      You need to modify 0032_0001.seem, offset 3D(hex), bit 1. 1 for on, 0 for off.

                      A tutorial for using a hex editor and P2kman can be found at http://xlr8.us/hofo/

                            One thing I just noticed on my e398 is that after I reflashed and flexed, my phone all of a sudden became Quad-Band GSM. It used to be a Tri-Band. To check if you have Quad-Band GSM, do the following:

                            1. Press Menu
                            2.Open Settings
                            3. Select Phone Status
                            4. Select Other Information
                            5. Select Technology

                            If you have Quad-Band, it should say "Quad-Band GSM" on the screen.

                                  hey ferrysb,

                                  are you really sure you want to do that? think it over a hundred times. your phone might be messed up pretty bad if you dont do it right. just my 2 cents worth of advise. go to this thread http://www.motomodders.net/Default.aspx?g=topics&f=5 . you will read somes guys experience and i mean bad experience of them trying to mod thier cell and ended up with e dead phone. not that i discourage you but dont make your precious phone a guinea pig. do it only if you are 100 percent sure you know what you are doing. better yet, let the experts do it.

                                    And what is the defect of the newest firmware ?
                                    Thx a lot :)
