Since I am targeting this firmware upgrade for those new to Motorola Modding, here are
some answers to the more frequently asked questions.

-----------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I get Video Recording?

A: Simple answer, you can't on a E398.
If you want more information on this, search.

-----------------------------------------------------

Q: My smart key is stuck on Voice Records!

A: You have a choice. You can either have voice records
feature, or you can have the smart key setup as a regular
shortcut. If you want it as a shortcut then do this:
Seem 005B_0001 Offset 15, change value 2B to 15.
You cannot have it as a shortcut and have voice records at
the same time.

---------------------------------------------------

Q: What is a "flash"/"monster pack"/"flex"/"seem"/etc?

A: See this thread at Howard forums for basic terms in the modding world.

----------------------------------------------------

Q: Will this make me lose all my files?

A: Yes, this upgrade will overwrite all your files, if you want to keep a background, or a
game, you need to back it up off your phone.

----------------------------------------------------

Q: I need exact step by step instructions for how to flash this!

A: Instructions can be found here. The are written for a V600, but the E398 is the same.

Also check out the Moto Hacker's Bible Link, and the Customization Guide link below.

---------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I backup my old flash and/or files?

A: Flashes cannot be backed up. Most of them are availible online however.
File could be backed up using a P2k based software like P2kTools or P2kMan

-----------------------------------------------------

Q: I am (German/Chinese/Indian/etc) how can I get my phone in this language?

A: You need to get an E398 language pack that includes the language you want.

Search on Howard Forums and Google.

----------------------------------------------------

Q: Why did you include all this stuff on the phone?

A: The extra skins, wallpapers, tones, etc were included to provide a more complete
"flash-and-forget" firmware solution. All you have to do is flash and then there
is enough material on the phone to customize it to your taste. I understand this is not for
everybody, and that most of the hardcore modders are not only going to be uploading
their own content, but also deleting the extras off the phone for more free space.

For this reason I have also offered a LITE edition. This version includes the BARE BARE essentials and will require you to upload everything you will need to run the phone.
The version is more for the "hardcore" modder.

Also given the infomation I have given should SHX modding, it is possible for you to backup your own customised flex based on the V398MP.

----------------------------------------------------

Q: My WAP/MMS/GPRS doesn't work!

A: You need to get the settings from your provider and enter them into your phone.
Some providers have the abilty to send these settings to your phone in a special
"browser message." T-Mobile for example can be configured at this address.

Q: Wow! How did you make your own Monster Pack?! Tell me what to do!

A: Its very complicated to do and very easy to screw things up, but if you are really diehard about it, I've already released all the material you need. You can find my guide/notes in this thread.
