How to upgrade Q Out of warranty
 
I have a Sprint Q that I need to update. Sprint store cant do it. Motorola software update says its oow. How can I update the firmware?

im on MP_BSP_C_02.07.61-49P_HW_P2.1
and need MP_BSP_C_02.07.61-69P_HW_P2.1

Has someone made an .exe or something that I can flash from bootloader?

Plz help

I think I can use RSD and flash it, but I need to find the most updated sbf.

Well something is obviously wrong with the phone as I cant even hard reset it. It gives an error. Called Sprint tech, they are sending a replacement.

gman, its not that hard cause its not there! You choose carrier, then device, then download their stupid update program. There is no option to choose a purchase date. Unless you show me some proof, thanks for your useless post!

I want this info. as well. It seems as if Motorola and Sprint team up to screw their customers any way they can.

Bump for an answer. I can't send text messages anymore because I tried installing Smms and it requires this software update to run.

* Found it. now what it says on the sprint website is that you need to update in order or something. My rom was like the oldest and i updated to this one (the newest) and it works fine. currently im using my q for possible android dev.

BTW: Here's the error message (from RSD Lite): "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve interface handle. (0x7027); phone disconnected"

I am using a fully-charged battery in the Q.
