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

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

Q: Where's all the wallpapers, tones, games, etc?

A: This is the V398 LITE edition. It contains only
a bare-bones operating system. You must manually
upload your own tones, backgrounds, games, etc.
If you want everything included, please use the
V398 FULL edition instead.

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

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.

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: 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.
