Unlocked Motorola SLVR and iSync & bluetooth - Solution found!

Thank god! I was wondering when this was going to get sorted out. I've been scouring the forums for days already. I have

R4513 G_08_B7.DARRB

UK T-Mobile SLVR L7.

The bluetooth doesn't work at all with my mac, and I wanted to clarify (before I potentially brick my phone) that you were having the same problem I was:

OS X is seeing "no supported services" at all for the phone, and that you can't send files to the phone at all. (This is the bluetooth stack query problem).

If I upgrade to the DCR_RB firmware, will this fix the problem? I thought that the only phones that worked at all with OS X over bluetooth were the US Cingular branded SLVRs.

Oh sorry, one more thing. You couldn't possibly PM me or email me (nickrutter@gmail.com) the url of this firmware? I'm having difficulty finding it. Thanks again!

if you could do the same thing for me, i'd be a very happy man... thanks!

You don't happen to have the same firmware as me do you? Are you on T-Mobile UK by any chance? If so, did your SLVR come with a memory card in it?

Yes! This worked. All that I lost were my messages, I'd backed up my numbers beforehand via usb. All that's different is that there's a line 1 logo at the top of the main screen, and the 'select' & 'back' keys have swapped sides. The bluetooth works! Very happy. Also there's the subsidy code thing at startup, but I can just skip past it, but I'll probably get P2k commander to get rid of it. Thanks Carlos!

No, I don't mean the home keys, I mean the back and select keys. For normal menu functions, like anytime the phone has back in a menu or whatever, now it's on the left, it used to be on the right, it's ok though, i've almost got used to it now.

Yeah, sure. I'll use p2k menue editor, and it should be fine. Apart from that, everything is fine.

Nick, I realy appreciate the fact that you spent your time fixing a problem you weren't supposed to fix, but let me tell you that Apple's attitude is unacceptable. The fact is: If we had Windows this would work. So, it's Apple problem, and they should be working on this. I've a Motorola SLVR L7 phone locked to Vodafone and I don't know if flashing the phone is even legal. And what makes me even more angry is their indifference: I've seen a lot of people with the same problem and, until now, we didn't get any "official" answer from Apple support. They simply tell you that "your phone is not supported". Are they kidding?

This isn't the first time I've got troubles with Apple, and I must say that I'm getting a little tired of the "everything works on a Mac" idea they try to sell, because it couldn't be falser. Potential buyers should be aware of all the problems they'll face and, of course, of the fact that they will have to manage themselves how to fix them. Because I start to think that this is what having a Mac is all about...
