You are a brilliant person for making this video, thank you so much. I used this method to take photos/videos off my old Motorola SLVR just in case others are wondering if its possible. Took a bit of patience, lots of failed connections and then the modern android not coming up in the Motorola even after pairing successfully. Kept trying, did a reboot of each phone, tried some more, eventually appeared and I've been able to save/backup some very old, very pixely memories. THANK YOU.
my razor looks different... it doesn't have that middle button and the menu looks different. I really want these old photos but I can't seem to figure it out after connecting to blutooth
You might have a different model. It doesn't work with Verizon phones, probably not with Sprint either but not sure. I've only done it successfully with the original V3 T-Mobile and AT&T phones.
Just an FYI... Sometimes you have to try a couple times for the Android to see the Razr over Bluetooth and connect up. It can be kinda finicky like that. Also, if you don't have an Android, you can plug a Bluetooth dongle into your laptop and send photos that way.
@@oveidasinclair982 It should work just fine with that phone. One thing to watch out for is you might have to try a couple times to get Bluetooth to connect.
Hey Dane, random thought! Do you think you could load up a Gameboy type rom game on the Razr? Or just the extra 'mobile type games'? Thanks for your unique vids :)
Only if somebody made a Java compatible version of a Gameboy game. You would need to find one, try installing it over Bluetooth and just see if it works.
thanks for making this video. I have been meaning to get my pics off my razor 3 to my pixel 6. It worked perfectly for me. also if you had ringtones on that razor that weren't locked, it would work to get it off of it too. I also had to do it to my mom's old phone and it took hardly anytime at all once I knew how to do it.
Hello Dane....my Razr is older than yours.... pairing with Android phone works, but no "move" or "copy" in the Razr menu, closest thing is "send". Thoughts?
It's not an age thing... You probably have a Verizon phone. It doesn't work with those ones. I explain it in my most recent video: th-cam.com/video/4LoUdaAqXAw/w-d-xo.html
I have a Motorola Verizon Razr phone, it doesn't say copy or paste on it to use Bluetooth to send my old photos. What can I do? I try to connect it to 2 computers and nothing comes up. What you do you suggest i do?
Sorry it doesn't work on the Verizon phones. They have different software. If you read through the comments you'll see you're not the only one with this issue.
I paired my Samsung with my razor but when I go copy the image and try to send it the razor doesn’t find the Samsung even though it’s connected. Any ideas?
After clicking "Copy" on the Razr, sometimes you have to click on "Look for Devices". Then it should find the Samsung. Sometimes you have to try a couple times. They're just weird like that. Good luck.
Thanks for the video! I could connect to my phone on second try and now I am able to copy images, but only one by one. I am trying to mark all the images and copy them. Only first image is being copied and I have a message Cant copy images. Any ideas how to copy them in a bundle? Thanks!
Hey Dane, what did installing the latest version of motorola mobile phone tools, will be work on KRZR? Well guess what the Windows 10 works fine, but incompatible or slowing down.
I don't totally follow what you're saying. I haven't tried Motorola Phone Tools with Windows 10 and I don't have any experience with the KRZR. Maybe it'll work though.
Motorola Phone Tools works best with Windows XP. I should have said that earlier. You might have to get an old XP laptop or use a virtual OS to get it going.
I have a Sprint RAZR I was actually using as my main phone up until this week. I'd still be using it but Sprint-T Mobile is sunsetting the old network. I've been trying to open it up to grab a files, particularly sound effects off the RAZR. Do you know how? I tried the bluetooth thing in this video; says they're paired but I can seem to do anything beyond that.
I have an old Verizon Razr and tried the exact same thing with similar issues. I can pair it over Bluetooth then hit a wall because the software won't let me transfer files. You could always try Motorola Phone Tools on your laptop, but don't get your hopes up. If you know how to solder and splice wires and really wanna get those sound effects you could hack a Razr headset and turn it into an audio cable, then connect it to a laptop and record it with your software of choice. I did something similar in my "Motorola Razr DTMF Arduino" video. Not sure if you're that desperate though.
Hi Dane is it possible to make my motorola razr without a sim card, it keeps asking me to insert sim card before I can do anything. And one more thing, how do you dispose of an old cellphone?
No, it needs a sim card to work. If it already has a sim, sometimes it'll just get loose, so try reinserting it. Also, try to find an electronic recycling center if you're done with it. You could also try selling it or take it to a thrift store.
hello, i would like to recover some photos and videos from my old motorola razr v3 but when i connect it to my pc with windows 10 i, the phone is recognized as a "modem" can you tell me why?
The "modem" connection is normal, believe it or not you can actually use a Razr as an internet hotspot for a PC through USB, it's just super slow. I've never tried connecting to Windows 10 before. I've connected to Windows XP using a USB cable and Motorola Phone Tools and Windows 7 using a Bluetooth dongle. Does your Win 10 PC have Bluetooth built in? If you're trying to do a Bluetooth file transfer the process should be very similar to the way it works with an Android. If you're trying to do a USB connection to Win 10 I seriously doubt it'll work. Worst case scenario if you really need to get the photos off there, use an old Android. Borrow one from a friend, get a cheap one off eBay, whatever you need to do. It doesn't even need to have service, as long as it has Bluetooth and WiFi it should work.
Do you know if there is a way to get files off of a Razr set up through verizon? I found it and it recently and it has a bunch of videos from my uncle who passed away years ago. I'd love to send them to my mom but I have had no luck getting them off of the phone.
Sorry but I haven't had any luck getting files off of Verizon Razr's. I have one that I used back in the day and have tried multiple approaches. If you want to send the videos I would just film the Razr screen with your smartphone (lame I know) or maybe just FedEx the phone to her with a note explaining how to find the videos. Good luck.
@@danebeck7900 Would Motorola Phone Tools work? I also have a Verizon RAZR. I know it's a big ask but have you uploaded the files off the disc? I looked everywhere for a download of MPT but no luck.
Exactly the same process but of connecting over Bluetooth, but then you have to find the photos on the Android and send them over, usually by clicking "Share" then "Bluetooth" or something like that. You should use a photo compressor first so the file size isn't so huge that it overwhelms the Razr memory.
Kinda depends on your Android but shouldn't be that hard, just go to the file, then Share > Bluetooth... Something like that. If you're sending a photo you should compress it first so the file size is small enough for the Razr to handle.
I think mine is the v3c it doesnt have the top button you pressed to get to the copy point and doesnt have the copy option in the option area any thoughts on how to do this?
@@aushashelton7545 Does it have a raised edge around the camera? If it does then it's a Razr V3c or V3m. Those ones usually had different software and probably explains why you can't send a photo over Bluetooth.
Very observant. Funny you should mention Android 10 because I have a Sidekick 4G with Android 2.2 that I've been playing around with. I'm considering making a future video on how to install apps on old unsupported versions of Android.

@@nyghtly-derek As far as I can tell there are only two ways to do it 1. The method I show here and 2. Install Motorola Phone Tools on an old Win XP laptop and do it through USB
I enjoyed the video. To get that software just search google for archive dot org Motorola phone tools. There’s a surprising amount of ancient software backed up on the internet somewhere. You just go to look.
But unfortunately, there is no way to download Motorola Mobile PhoneTools at the Archive.org and by the way did everyone did ripping the CDs and DVDs software to the server.

You can install ringtones the same way you send photos. If you have an Android, look for the MP3 online, download it, and send it the Razr via bluetooth.
@@Urmom-bz5hm Is your Razr a Verizon phone? Those ones have issues with the Bluetooth because of the software. For the T-Mobile, Cingular and AT&T Razrs sometimes you just have to try it a few times to make it connect.
@@Urmom-bz5hm Should be super obvious... It'll say Verizon on it. If it has a raised edge around the camera it's a Razr V3c, a slightly different model used by Verizon and some other carriers.
