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”. To all that, a big “WTF”! Help! I need to get this working soon! ---

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. ---

hmm. How did you try to disable the modem? Go through your Bios/system setup ---
