OK, so a few of you know that I have been trying to get this to work for a bit. (Not really for a bit, just now in a huge hurry.)
OK, I “Unbranded” my phone, now I have access to the wmodem program without doing it through the phone. Cool.
Now, installing it on my laptop, a Toshiba, is another story.
Tried installing on the laptop as is, no good. Toshiba has a modem built in to it, so first I tried changing the com port of it (The Toshiba Modem), seeing as though the wmodem wanted it set to COM3. No good.
Next, I tried to disable the Toshiba modem, no good either.
Lastly, I uninstalled the modem completely. No good.
Here is what is happening:
I am following the Howardforums directions to a tee, and it gets to the last step, and says that windows cannot install the modem. I tried to run the modem anyways to see what would happen, and I get a “Remote access error 797”.
What the Howardforums said to do was the following:
On the original CD that came with the phone, find the folder OEM, then APPS folder, then Drivers, lastly, the folder named CDMA USB Modem folder.
In that folder, I copied the three files, a .exe, .doc and a .inf file onto my computer in the C:/CDMA folder I created.
After unbranding my phone, I get an icon that I can run to enable the wmodem.
Turn it on, hit the start button, then plug it into my laptop.
Computer recognizes the piece, and begins to install it. I point the install program to the right folder, and it begins to install. When it reaches the end of the install process, Winders tells me its stupid and I should end myself.
Basically, the drivers I installed are directly from the CD that came with the phone.
do you have the service to use it as a phone or are you hacking it? im about to get one and use it for that and im curious to see if i will have the same problem
