Superdave 1.02 ... Still no iSync?

I have flashed the V710 to the 1.02SD hacked firmware. Apparently this is supposed> to have all of the features of the 1.40 firmware that is making the rounds at Verizon, minus the audiofile restrictions.

It was my understanding that that means OBEX is enabled and therefore iSync should work just fine. Not only does iSync not work, but I still cannot send a file to the phone.

Am I wrong about this SD firmware? Did I receive the wrong version of the Superdave fw?

p.s. also the camera doesn't seem all that much better.

OBEX is still not working -although it is on the horizon 😳 . Only BT through MPT. And I've heard from many that the camera is notably better.

Well, hope so, but from what I found the other night on Motorola's web site, it wasn't designed for OBEX. So if not designed for OBEX, will a hack enable OBEX?

You can't "design" for OBEX.

Make no bones about it, OBEX was intentionally left out, one way or another. Remember, the v600's software works astonishingly similar to the v710's, and the v600 is capable of OBEX.

It is "technically feasable" to enable OBEX on the v710. However, hacking phones is hard business and tends to result in a trail of broken phones. So it's kind of an expensive proposition best undertaken by altruistic geeks with large amounts of disposable cash and free time. It may still happen that the v71...

well, and not to be dumb about it...but what is the necessity of OBEX? If I can transfer the data from my phone to my computers via BT with MPT, what is the point? I know it would be nice...but is it a must? I'm not being a wiseacre, I guess I need to be educated.

If my sister-in-law wants to beam me contacts while I'm visiting her, I need OBEX. If want to transfer stuff between my PDA and the v710, I need OBEX and probably some other stuff too. If there's OBEX, I don't need to buy, nor do I need to pirate, MPT, to transfer stuff. If I'm using a Mac or a Linux box, I need OBEX.

OBEX is the general way to transfer "Things" over infrared and bluetooth. Anybody can code against it and i...

And you can't move pics or MP3s using the new firmware and MPT. At least I can't. Ultimately that's what's needed. I'd be happy if that were enabled via MPTs. Using a trans-flash card is unsat. The device is too fragile for constant insertion, ejections.

well lets just say that word on the street from the higher ups hack crew is that OBEX is very very close. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up by the end of January. I am not part of that crew, it's just what I've heard so don't hold me to it. But so far, everything else I've heard with their hacks and predictions have been right on the nose.

I have transfered both pics and MP3 using mobile phone tools and the new hacked software.
If you are using mobile phone tools make sure you select V710m when setting up the phone.
