Need Info about MOTOROLA ZN300 Modding

[kipu.bgp]

Hi everyone,
Anybody modded MOTOROLA ZN300 ? ? ? ?

Till today I have used MOTOROLA ROKR E6. It really ROCKs.
I have plan to buy one MOTOROLA ZN300 today. Someone pls tell me the Phone has Firmware Flashing feature or not?
If yes what's the Firmware version? and where do I get it? While Switch-ON if I press Camera key, does it go to Flash mode?

If anyone modded ZN300, pls write back here, it will be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

Well you can get the flash file from here...

Motorola ZN300 R48121_G_13.02.0BR_B_PDS00C_LP0003_DRM1001_VSTG_3FE_02_JPJAVA_G_13_ZN300_01_08_02R_GSYSLGE00RTLBRLA087_WIG131266_1FF.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

well The ROKR E6 and Motorola ZN300 are different phones so switching into flash mode is different for both...

Don't know if modding is possible on that....

Hi,
Thank you Kundancool for the Reply and Link.
I have purchased new ZN300. It's simply superb. Everyone in my office liked it. As you said it doesn't go to Flash mode once u press and hold Camera Key. May be some other way. Let me try with RSD Lite. For E6, RSD Lite turns automatically into BootScreen mode, same let me try with ZN300. Start a new discussion for ZN300 Modding.

Regards,

Nice work.. Got lot of info. on ZN300 from your postings. Modding is not possible for ZN300.

[prasannars]

@ kipu.bgp, I have a question. Why did you go for ZN300? You had better option at almost same price of zn300 like EX128, EX115..

[kipu.bgp]

Hi Prasannars,

First and most thing, I didn't want a Touch Screen Mobile. For the reason couldn't operate them quickly. So I canceled EX128. As you said I had a choice with EX115, till last moment, but when I saw ZN300 and EX115 both in hand, ZN300 a Slide Phone, a cute and very handy, (Didn't notice much) chosen in Hurry Barry More over shop owner doesn't know anything about Modding
Till today I had E6 and E8, they are absolutely fabulous no doubt.
Doesn't matter, I will be purchasing one more Moto in a couple of months. Till then I will study in MotoFans about all Modding.
