Motorola Q Update Problem

First of all you need the standalone MSU, not the regular one. Also, don't screw around with Windows 7 if you want this to work, use XP with active sync 4.5 installed and it will work fine.

Oh, well that's just lovely. Now I will have to buy an XP computer? grrr

I am using the same updater you linked me to in your last post.

I dont want to hijack this thread, but it is relatively easy to partition your hard drive and have multiple os's on it. On my netbook, I have windows 7, Windows xp & Ubuntu on it. Just find someone who knows what they are doing on the computer and get them to do it for you.
Many of the programs reuiqred for flashing are much happier on XP.

I am "someone who knows what they are doing on the computer." ...to a limit.

Well, it's too late now anyways. I already blew $100 on a Gateway Solo 9500 which is right here next to me.

Anyway, I have tried updating them, but they still freeze up on the "Bp Is Programming" screen. None of them ever finish once they hit that stage. They "ERROR" at various percentages of completion (8%, 23%, 49%, etc.). I do have the HotSync. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it does not.

I will keep trying.

Hello again. I have just now realized that some of them say "Sprint" on the sticker... *smacks self*

Does anyone have the Sprint version of the MSU for the original MotoQ?

There is only a Verizon standalone version that has the Monster in it. It is really only needed if the unit is stuck in bootloader. If you have a good unit up and running, just use RSD Lite and the desired monster / upgrade files and it will work fine. If it isn't working then you will have to recover it first as a Verizon. No big deal overall.

The latest version was never leaked as a monster pack, so you will have to use one of the 2 prior monsters and then upgrade it.
