Unlocked WM6.1 ROM?

chestvrg · 12-02-2008, 04:21 AM

I'm getting a new Motorola 9Qh "unlocked" and unbranded from http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=173259 but I have looked everywhere for the "unlocked" WM6.1 ROM update and I can't find it. The only WM6.1 ROM update that Motorola website points to is the AT&T update, can anybody help me?

Can you please let know where do I download and install the unbranded/unlocked WM6.1 ROM update to install on my WM6.0 Moto Q unlocked?

If you update to 6.1 it will no longer be unbranded. If that is ok then you can head over to mottomoddinguk.info and you can find the unlocked update there with the program you will need to install it

You don't have to unlock your phone to upgrade it.

There are two versions of the upgrade, the carrier locked one and the unlocked one. If you install the unlocked upgrade your phone will be unlocked, but you can apply either update without unlocking first.

Guys I really appreciate all of your help, I will head over to that site to download that install tool and the unlocked 6.1 ROM. The main reason why I want to update to 6.1 it is b/c I want to have the "threaded" chat style txt msg capability WM6.1 offers.

Welcome to Everything Q!

We hope you enjoy hanging around.

Don't forget--There is a search area at the top of every page and "sticky" posts in different forums. Chances are your answer is already there.

This has been a canned, but very heartfelt, welcome.

Cool, upgrades would be good, the threaded txt its nice. But if you didn't i believe theres an app to change the current txt to threaded.

Now that I have downloaded the ROM to be updated, what are the steps guys?

What files, installer do I need to install to run the ROM? Please help me.

Wondering is there any clean WM6.1 ROM available for Q9h can get rid of all those ATT rubbish? Kind of fed up with the blue diapers wrapping around everywhere...

BTW, I've already unlocked the phone and it was born with WM6.1.
