Are you flashing a bootloader file, or a rom with that bootloader? |

I have been trying a Monster file. and on the Monster file when it splits it up. CG33 is the bootloader file. so using that file it is the bootloader, but if there is a program to flash just a bootloader, that would be great, cause i will need that sometime along on this project. |

I"ve downloaded a couple monster files that were rar'ed and it included a .hs bootloader flex file. You can just flash them with RSDLite. I'll try and see if I could find one. |

Re: Custom ROM on Motorola Q *Project*
I found a .sbf that was just a bootloader. and so i ran that and it downgraded my bootloader. i then try and add an officail bootloader to the file. 3.10, that is the latest version, i just downloaded over 40 Q flash files and compare each one.
so i had a officail 3.10 flash file that i flash to it. and when doing that. it flashed 100% but it then killed the device, and now it wont boot up or anything. so i guess the first test failed. haha |

Re: Custom ROM on Motorola Q *Project*
3.10 is only on the latest verizon, however the verizon does not update the bootloader. that is the issue i was having. i have the 3.05 and that works fine. i have the 3.08 from Alltel, Spint, and US Cellular, and 3.09 from US Cellular has well.
but the verizon one is the only one that had the 3.10 bootloader. so that is how i knew. open up the .sbf file in a Hexeditor and i am able to see what version it is. I do a seach for Boot_C, in the text field and you will get 2 results each one will show you the version. |

Re: Custom ROM on Motorola Q *Project*
for what it's worth, i went through a few of the roms i have procured since
i got my q and these also have newer bootloaders TATA_Q2_C_01.0A.00I_01.0E.00R_MONSTER_01.sbf ====3.10 GENERIC_Q2_C_01.04.01I_UPGRADE_FILE_01 ====3.09 USC_Q2_C_01.07.00I_01.01.00R_MONSTER_02.sbf ====3.09 i also have an upgrade that seems to be just the bootloader with 3.05 also BOOT_C_03.05.00R_MPAP_IPL_mbm_Motorola_logo.sbf I have flashed several verizon roms on my q, and i don't think any of them updated the bootloader.
