Motorola E398 Modding Thread

[TheGamer]

It has been a year and a half i had aquired this wonderful phone and still i can use it like its brand new . Thanks to its innumerable bios flashing , editing facilities . Since its cheap and quite popular (i know some of techtalkz members having this) i though of sharing my modding experiences with everyone .

Before Modding : Just know that modding your phone with new Bios , Flex , Themes and skins will VOID ALL warranty . So if you have a e398 which is not 1 year old i suggest you wait until it is , otherwise if anything goes wrong you'll not get the benefit of free service .

Note: Before you can install any Monster Packs you'll have to convert the default flex of your phone from r372 to r373 . You'll find the necessary information in the provided links . This is applicable only if you've never flashed your phone before

Flashing Guides :

Allthough I've warned you to read guides and stuff , don't get afraid . If done by the book NOTHING can go wrong and once you get used to the procedures you'll be flashing twice a day!!!
Happy Flashing

Now .. I am wondering on the rapidshare links ..

[TheGamer]

if you're wondering they are ill legal or not .. then no except pst 6.7 all other softwares are open source made by modders themselves . Its only that Motorola oficially doesn't support them .

This is the pack required, that changes R372 to R373, correctly.
