mp3 as ringtunes for rogers phones?

Hi, I recently bought a S/E w580 from Rogers.

Everything works fine except when I tried to use some uploaded MP3 clips as ringtunes, the phone won't let me.

I figured probably Rogers locked the option for uploaded MP3s to be used as ringtunes since they'd probably want you to dl from their store and pay for it etc.

Anyway, I really want to see if there is a way to remove this lock.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance

I had the same problem when I got my SE K790.

I looked around, but I found the only way to play MP3s as ring tones was to unlock the phone. But unlocking the K790 permanently wasn't easy or cheap. Since I just wanted to play MP3s as ring tones on my cell phone, hacking my phone wasn't worth it.

But there's hope! I just converted the MP3s to Apple's standard for audio MPEG-4 (.M4A) and they work perfectly!

You should be able to use the DRM packager from the SE website to convert your mp3's into .dm, which are playable as ringtones.

I use wotan-server to de-brand my W810i, which let me use mp3's as ringtones, as well as removing all the Rogers stuff (Mall).

I hope you mean unbranding. You can unbrand a phone but not unlock it.

you have to "purchase" ringtones from rogers and other WAP sites. But you DO purchase ringtones right? or do you want to get something that costs money for FREE?

Sorry I got my terminology mixed up. Debranding your phone will get the Rogers nonsense off the phone.

You need to add DRM to them.
