Free Motorola Q USB Device Drivers
I learned an interesting fact the other day. Verizon does not allow their customers to download device drivers for their phones. Instead you have to pay $30 and purchase a “music essentials kit”, which includes drivers for your particular phone, some software, and a USB cord. $30!? WTF Verizon? Don’t you think the fact that I pay $50/month for EVDO is ENOUGH to warrant FREE drivers?
I’ve located the correct drivers for the Motorola Q and made them available to everyone for download. Enjoy!

Brad,
I just bought a Motorola razr v3m and looking for software to connect to my PC. I am trying to download your link, however I cannot get it to install. I must be missing a step or just don’t understand the setup process. It was refreshing to read your intro because I can’t believe they want $30 to connect ot my PC. Hope you can help.

The drivers linked are for the Motorola Q cell phone, not the Razr. You’ll need to find RAZR drivers for this to work.

@Lance the file is a ZIP file. Do you have WinZip or anything installed to handle ZIP files?

hello Brad.
i have a motorola Q on the us cellular network and i would love to watch tv. on my Q without using a sling box but u cell dose not offer this service unless you live somee parts of wisconsin, plus i feel it would be kick butt if the phone on it’s own as i like to push my tech divices to their full limit and beyond.
Please help. thank you.

I am on my second week trying to figure out how to upload pics and videos from my phone. No, I am not a true blonde. But, close enough. I pray this site is my solution to my driver problem and will save me $30.00 bucks to spend on my upcoming wedding. LOL!!!

T anks so much. I had been trying to figure this out. No CD included in purchase so searched and found your post. And I certainly don’t need to purchase “music essentials” for yet another USB cable.

I have tried to unzip the moto q drivers and all that comes through is a text format. Please explain the procedure to download this correctly.

@Jeremiah the zip file contains a INF driver file for the Q cell phone. You need to unzip this file to a location on your computer, and then update the driver for your cell phone and point it to this file. Windows will install the driver file from here.

All I get when I unzip the file I downloaded from above is a file named USBMOT2000
It is a text file. When I point to it as a driver file to be used to update my Q driver file, MS Windows XP doesn’t recognize or use it as a driver file. Something is missing!!

Here is what I did to get it to work…
If you have already installed the phone driver that came with your phone, uninstall it. Run Start | All Programs | Motorola Driver Installer | Motorola Driver Installer.exe and then select clean and start then close the app when it’s finished. Then plug in your phone using the USB cable and point to the .inf file when the “New Device” window opens. Once the driver is setup unplug the phone and then load the VZAccess Manager app from the CD that came with the phone and follow the instructions. A good link to follow for Tethering a cellphone.

I forgot to mention that the phone needs to be activated as a modem first before the install will work.
Sorry about that…
