on a side note, vzw is getting diamond2, so im sure sprint will has well, i doubt one cdma carrier would get it and not another. so look forward to that.

Any idea on a release date on that D2??

Woah, awesome!

I started poking around Google today to see if anybody had done anything neat with the Q recently, and I stumbled upon this thread.

Awesome work, I can't wait to see the final results!

Has this been tried on the Moto Q9c

Q9m, Q9c, Q9n, and Q, are all the devices that I have right now that I can test on.

Back in March trintek posted his procedure for modifying an .sbf to contain a custom boot logo. This was done using a couple moto-specific bootlogo-editting utilities, that operate directly on the monster file.

Don't know if that procedure is relevant or helpful at all in your endeavor, but as far as I know, this was the first time somebody had success flashing a modified .sbf file to a moto Q.

Can't wait to see your reults, this will be a major accomplishment!
Thank you for the effort on this, and all the other stuff you've done. (such as your 10-21-08 Vogue Manilla ROM which I'm still using!)

Hey con, where you able to port the XIP? Everytime I try, it always says not enough space. I have to delete FileManager.EXE.0409.MUI for it to run "realloc p" properly. Even then, I have exclamation points in my Map.txt.

[conflipper]

yeah i can get the xips to port fine, i have done 6.0 6.1 and 6.5 xips, i use LennySH xip kitchen to do it, and that just uses the xip.bin from donor and device and combines parts taht it needs to

[skandolis]

dont know if it helps, but i stumbled across this, havent looked at it but says it is custom wm 6.1 for the q gsm ftp://xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Upl..._by_allway.zip

Good job!


I also use SBFCodec.exe to get the os.nb(CG40 file)
a question is I can use osnbtool.exe to split the xip.bin from Q9c wm6.1 rom ,but I can't deal with motoQ.sbf use the same tool,
I have try to exchange the cg33&cg40 files in different .sbf file,but flash fail at a 99%.
I have used your Q9c.xip and Q.xip and got the new.xip by XIPKitchen.exe,Can you share the SYS and OEM file?
so I can rebuild wm6.1 ROM to test.

I've tried making a custom rom for the q9c also, I read somewhere you need to re-write the crc info at the beginning of the .sbf to get the flash to get all the way to 100%, now that doesn't garauntee that the flash will work. (still trying to manage that myself...)
