When after you have copy, pasted and hit enter you will directed yto a site in russian. Then go to the adress bar and remove the %AD in the php extension. The site has a full guide and 95R flash and 7F flex available for download.

I havnt herd of an authentication pin but try 1234 or 000000 (6 zeros)they are the 2 stock pins moto use.
To put mp3 on the phone go to settings>conections.usb memory card. Then use my computer to acces the romoveable drive (this is your phone). Then simply open the audio folder and past or drag and drop in the mp3 file(s) you want on your phone.
To monika
Are you useing MPT to transfer the picture and are you useing BT or USB.
To rei
Phone lag is redused with upgrad of fireware (easy to do takes all of 35mins max)and the phone should be able to support up to 512.
To Ricky300
to get the drivers install and update MPT then install phone. Drivers will be in the MPT folder (C:\Program Files\mobile phone tools)

Yes you can download the fireware from the internet. and upgrade your phone yourself. I dont have a link for 96R but i do have a link for 95R wich has the same USB menu.Use the search at the bottom of the page to find the posts on upgrading fireware.

Err, juz where & how do I get this 96R software? Can it be downloaded from the internet?

Upgrade to 96R software with USB mass storage profile. After this, you won't need to use MPT for putting stuff on to t-flash card as the card appears as a removable drive when the phone is connected to the PC. You can later copy thinsg that you want from the card to the phone memory. I never had a problem after moving to 96R.

I think the Moto E398 is a great phone! But there are some ups & downs to it. I have been using this phone for about 5 months now & within that 5 months I have encountered many problems with it. Such problems is when I try connecting my Moto E398 to my pc with the USB cable. At first everything was alright. I could upload songs into my phone with ease. Soon afterthat, things became out of hand. The USB modem couldn't detect my phone and I couldn't upload mp3's even with the USB modem working! And error sometimes apears saying that the connection between the phone & pc has been disconnected when the USB cable is plugged into the pc & phone itself! Not only that, I have to create multiple profiles in my Mobile Phone Tools(MPT) in order to get it working.
Is there any other phone tools that I can use besides Mobile Phone Tools(MPT) ? Which can be downloaded from the internet? TQ

1st of all i can't deny that e398 is a very gd phone.. but i encounter several problems after using it for 6months, which is the reason why i'm changing my phone now.
i had problems with the pc suit, on most occasions it says 'device could not be found' and when its finally connected, it will lose its connection after awhile. the transferring of photos and mp3s is also almost impossible, i spent hours on it and nothing can be completed in de end. the program is simply not responding.
there are also problems with my speaker, it starts to produce irritating sounds whenever i on my mp3 or when my phone is ringing etc.
the phone also hangs when i'm making a call, sometimes when i have a call on hold, the phone will hang with the timer running, even the 'off' button doesn't help. i have to remove the battery and on the phone again. this is really a big problem for me as sometiems i have to make important calls, and when someone calls me on de 2nd line, i have to consider whether or not to ans, because theres 60% chance both calls will be cut off. and the phone will hang, making the other party not able to call back.. =(
i had problems charging the phone, (THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM) most of the time(90%) it shows up 'unable to charge' and sometimes it doesn't show anything at all.. and sometimes when its 'charging' or 'unable to charge', the backlight will not turn off. it stays lit for hours! this problem had caused me spending hours trying to charge it, if i dont do so, i cant use the phone! at 1st i suspect something was wrong with my charger, so i bought a new one.. but the same problem occurs.. it always shows up 'unable to charge' which i have no idea why its happening..
these problems may not happen to everyone, i'm just sharing my experience with e398, it really gives me some headach throughout this 6mths. but its really a great phone if these problems are non-existence. =)

Shane, thanks for clarifying. I hope Motorola read these postings abt video recording demand fr e398 users worldwide. Unlike that MP3/MP4 player which are Java s/w based, Camera (& video rec)isn't Java apps, it might be in h/w coded firmware and I guess video rec will require revising that firmware....
