Lot’s of forum talks, lot’s of articles on Motorola internals, but none seemed to work 100%, and rather worked 97%. There was still this 3% that kept Motorola V3 RAZR owners from unlocking the phone… Here are tested, and proved to complete all 100%, steps that will let you unlock your Moty.
First, let’s get ready. All the tools that you can download below are MS Windows based (if you are using different OS, like Mac or, like me – Ubuntu, you can install MS Windows in a virtual box).
Ok, so assuming you are using MS Windows, these are the tools you will need to use:
- “p2k drivers 2.9” – This is a set of drivers that will enable your PC/Laptop and RAZR V3 to communicate.
- “scotty2_8.26_downgrader_v2” – this is the tool written by scotty2 which downgrades your phone’s bootloader from (8.26, 8.23, 7.E0) to 7.D0, which is needed for the next tool to unlock it.
- “P2K_Easy_Tool_v37” – this is an actual “unlocker” tool.
- MiniUSB to USB cable
in order to connect your RAZR V3 to PC/Laptop.
Now the first thing first…
Step 1. Download the tools above, unpack them (unrar, unzip – here is a good tool for that tugzip)
Step 2. Plug in your phone to the computer using (#4) miniUSB to USB cable and install the drivers. Windows will ask you to install the drivers once the phone is plugged in, so just point it to the right directory where you unpacked them
Step 3. Turn off your phone
Step 4. Press and hold two buttons the star (*) and the pound (#) and while holding press the power button – this will bring you to something that Motorola people call “the flash screen”. On the top of the screen you will see something like this:
Boot Loader
08.26
SW Version:
R374_G_0E.41.C
3R_0
Ok to Program
USB
Transfer ModeStep 5. Now you will need to run a scotty2′s tool to downgrade the Boot Loader (in this case) from 08.26 to 07.D0. For this (unpack the scotty’s zip and) run “downgrader.exe”. Follow the instructions and the output of the program should look similar to:
Waiting for phone... Found! Getting phone interface information... Registry Interface #: 3 Interface Description: Motorola Flash Interface Interface LocInfo: S Flash Neptune LTE Opening phone for communication... Success!

If you have problems on the step “Waiting for driver to disconnect” (it supposed to auto restart after this step), after the phone turned itself off, just turn it on again as it described in step 3 (Press and hold * and #, then while holding press the power button) At this point you should see that your Boot Loader has changed:
Boot Loader 07.DO SW Version: …
Step 6. Now it is time to run the “p2k_easy_tool_v37″ unlocking tool. Run “P2K_Easy_Tool_v37.exe”,
- 6.1 Go to “Locks” tab
- 6.2 Choose your phone model (V3 RAZR) from the “Phone Model” drop down
- 6.3 Check “Unlock SP”
- 6.4 Click on “Do Selected Jobs” button
And follow the instructions. Here is the snapshot of successful result: 
Step 7. That should complete your journey, and Moty V3 RAZR should be good to go! Now you can take it to the Moon – it’ll work just fine!
Note the last fact is not tested due to the limited knowledge about Moon’s Global System for Mobile communication

Segui todos os passos no tutorial, mas ao terminar o passo 5 o telemovel apenas ficou a piscar as teclas, nada de ecrã. e ao tentar executar o passo 6, dá erro. Se voê puder, me dar uma ajuda, eu agradeceria.
I followed all the steps in the tutorial, but when you finish step 5 was the only mobile phone to flash keys, no screen. and try to perform step 6, it gives error. If you can fly, give me a help, I appreciate it.
My anti virus software detected trojan in 2k_easy_tool_v37.
Any ideas???
This is great
