EXCLUSIVE: Secret Motorola MPx200 Engineer Mode Revealed

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Eek, my bad, old news it seems, maybe I should try and keep up with my own forum more... It was an innocent mistake, honest guv :) :oops:

Yes, you heard it here first... there's a top secret 'Engineering Mode' on your MPx200 :P

To enter this mode, simply enter *#**364# on your keypad then press the Green Button, and hey presto you will be in engineering mode. Quit the mode using the option of the right hand soft key :D

Of course, we take no reponsibility for anything you do in this menu :D

Screenshots to follow...

Enjoy!

That's as long as it's running 2002. :wink:

My mpx200 (WM2003) attempts to dial this code (and I get "Command not supported" from my Network operator) instead of running it locally on device. :)

[Guest martin]

Great :P , this exactly what I'm looking for.

All I need now is an MPX200 :) ** blows dust off cheque book **

[Guest Toyota-F1.com]

I better everybody who reads this with any phone tries this code :) :P

[Guest gryph0n]

Careful not to brick or screw up your phone in engineering mode. Just like to add that it is full of good information, but I messed around with everything I could at one point and almost bricked my phone, and now my phone will not accept a particular version of firmware (the version that I was running at the time of fooling with settings). Take it for what you will...

[Guest ClintEastman]

try -----> *#**364#

That works on 2003. :wink:

[Guest theanarch1st]

hey clint, how do u mean those running 2003?? do you have an mpx200 with 2003? or u referring to another fone?

there was an illegal 2003 update for the mpx200 that has now been withdrawn.

[Guest s0tz]

tried to play around in engineering mode but fear to have my phone bricked.. i think alot of newbies like me would benefit alot if theres any experienced guy wil help in telling us wat each function did :) tia!

Uh... this isn't new... I've known about this for months and it has also been discussed on other forums.... There are also other codes such as *#**837# which shows version info and *#**372# which is test mode and *#999# which displays the command log. There are also quite a few others, but they don't all seem to work on all ROMs. Also, don't take credit for being the first to find them; I'm a developer, and I know that I personally found some of them by trying stuff on my phone.

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Yep unfortunately this was posted as far back as June where

exosyphen posted the first code.

Other codes are as follows

* # * * 8 3 7 # Version info

* # * * 3 7 2 # FQC

* # * * 3 6 4 # Engineering menu

* # * * 2 6 6 * 0 # Set as data COM port

* # * * 2 6 6 * 1 # Set as log COM port

* # * * 7 9 7 # Time to failure timer & Power down code

* # * * 2 2 6 3 * 0 # Set to default Band

* # * * 2 2 6 3 * 1 # Disable GSM Band

* # * * 2 2 6 3 * 2 # Disable DCS Band

* # * * 2 2 6 3 * 3 # Disable EGSM and DCS Band

* # * * 2 2 6 3 * 4 # Disable PCS Band

Wonder if this can alter the DualTri-band :? not tested so only guessing.

Remember guys play at your own risk :twisted:

[Guest Toad]

Not all of the ones listed above will work on all ROM versions. Also *#999# which opens up the command log is not listed.

[Guest martin]

Damn - Just for a moment there I thought someone had found a network monitor :)

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Yep my bad the one code I mentioned first I did not list :oops:

[Guest AngelOfRage]

Just to confirm those codes above only work on Moto's and which operating system/ROM?

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Damn - Just for a moment there I thought someone had found a network monitor  :)

Martin try this

Is there any place in there that tells you the location of the tower that your hitting???? Lat and Long or anything like that?

Ash, any chance of screenshots of the data :)

I don't have an MPX200 but I would buy one if this menu was useful to me ?

[Guest Toyota-F1.com]

These aren't supposed to work on the SPV3 are they?
