I definitely have a MOTO Q9h with WiFi - is this rare??

[bmurf]

Why is it so difficult to believe that there could be wifi Q9h's out there? Just look at how many people have the never released VZ Q9n.

Yea but I want pics of this abomination lol.

Vazguard & xcode / <others who have doubt> :

As I mentioned, I will post pictures on the weekend / early next week when I get my DSLR from storage at my parent's house (in the middle of a move)

I understand you may have doubts, but instead of doubting (despite images someone has already posted in the past) you should be posting a URL with instructions of what I should do to extract the FW and/or software from my phone so that you will have what I have and we can have some test mules.

I don't know anything about modding this phone, nor do I really care. As far as I'm concerned I want to sell it, however I would like to do the phone modding community a favor if I can, just as I received in the past. As I said, I used to have a MOTO V3i that I turned into an Itunes model simply by flashing with a monsterpack, way back on motox site or some Italian site. It worked perfectly until I sold it.

If someone has detailed instructions on how to do a full backup of the phone, please post the URL and I will get on it. If someone would like to do it for me and lives in the Toronto area, please PM me and I will drop the phone off at your house and let you take care of it all.

geeshh

by the way, if someone wants to purchase my phone, it will be for sale once everything is clarified. Hey, it may not be worth much more than anyone else's if we can get WiFi working on everyone's Q9h.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Just wanted to say Thanks for taking the time to share your find! I'm sure one of the gurus will help to get your info out. As far as i know, the closest we've come was a micro-sd WiFi card from Spectec that never worked out. I can't speak for the rest, but I'm very interested as I'm sure are many others. Thanks again.

I just want to see it working - I'm not outright doubting you.

Anyway, there is a guide to dumping your phone's ROM here. It looks a little complicated, but I've done it and it works fine, so hopefully it will work for you.

What's the point of dumping a Q9H rom if he's got a unique test version that has WiFi built in. I'm pretty sure that your average Q9H out there doesn't have a dormant wifi radio in it waiting to be turned on by a ROM change.

I mean... maybe I'm missing something but that seems to be your intention, that somehow dumping your phone's ROM will give other Q9H users wifi capabilities? I highly doubt that would work dude. I hate to rain on your parade but I think it's a hardware thing not a software thing. I could be wrong though.

Vazguard: Thanks for posting the guide to dumping your phone's ROM. I printed the guide and downloaded the software available in the first URL in the guide. I will try and follow these instructions tomorrow evening or very soon. If I have any trouble I will ask you for help. Do I need to back up the three ROMs mentioned in the guide or just 1 of them? Should I zip it or rar the file(s) when completed? Do you have any suggestions for a free upload service? Thanks.

darkdomino: The point is we don't know what I have. My phone looks like a regular AT&T branded Q9h; it doesn't look like a prototype 'style' phone. I just wanted to make sure I shared what I have just in case it enables Wi-Fi in other Q9h phones. I could have simply sold my phone, but I thought it would be best to share what I have and if it doesn't work, at least I know I tried. I definitely have Wi-Fi on my phone, and it doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary; dedicated AT&T key and all.

Anyways....................

Here are the pictures of my MOTO Q9h with Wi-Fi & GPS built in:

Please stay tuned for the ROM, my fingers are crossed.

My phone is for sale, please PM any serious offers and I will sell it to the highest bidder once I post the ROM and it either works or doesn't work.

Thanks

Info from an other WiFi/Q9h thread that might help ID this phone's hardware as an early Rogers with WiFi (prototypes known to exist), or an AT&T model (see stickers under battery):

AT&T: FCC ID is: IHDT56HW1.
Rogers: FCC ID is IHDT56HW2.

[racingxtsy]

I checked the FCC website:

AT&T: FCC ID is: IHDT56HW1
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/...IHDT56HW1'

Rogers: FCC ID is IHDT56HW2
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/...IHDT56HW2'


My phone is an AT&T phone and it doesn't have either of these FCC ID numbers. My phone's tags are like the ones in the photos of the internal pictures, the IMEI sticker is a rectangular one placed underneath the stickers in the photos.

Nice. The image of the connected wifi icon with nothing protruding from the side is what I wanted. Nice one. Quite a phone ya got there.
