Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade for Moto Q Global

Just checked again right now, still no update for us

I'm gonna ask AT&T right now if they're even going to release it on their site. Maybe they might host it.

LOL, are you serious ???? Not you G, just the situation....I'm on somebody's ignore list, cool

I know because I sold phones for them, my roommates sold phones for them, I have friends that STILL sell phones for them. You can believe whoever you'd like, but I'm telling you, at the corporate level, not the mom and pops stores, not the mall kiosks or stores, or RS for that matter (no offense at all Paco), you earn the same amount. Like I said, it can be different, because its like a car dealership, it varies. All I know is no matter what, they got paid less than us, whatever their strucute was. And they got paid less hourly too.

But anyway, I'm relaxed. I'm not a self proclaimed expert, hell, I've never even mentioned I was an expert about anything, but it kinda irks me when people do that to you. I'm sorry if my words come off confrontational to other people, I'm just confident I guess. Usually I only post about something when I actually know what I'm talking about, or at least think so. Thats why while I read a lot of threads, I don't post to a lot of them, because well, I don't have any relevant information to pass along, but I do try to point people in the right direction whenever I can. Im human, I have been wrong about things, and I'm man enough to admit it, and apologize. Guess some people are pretty uptight.

I know, out of character it seems but I am just taking your advice. So who cares you are on someone's ignore list, if they are so childish that they need to ignore you, then heck with them.

I am sure they have it hosted, because they got it and are holding on to it until they decide if they want to pass it on to the customers or not. If you find a sympathetic or frankly a nice technician, they will link you to it. I had that happen once a while back with Dell when they did NOT want to release the Vista compatible BIOS for a unit they didn't want to label compatible when in reality, the hardware was compatible, they just wanted to make more money with other units. He linked me, I got the BIOS, the restriction disappeared and viola. People still look at me and say, how the hell did you get it to run on there, they said it can't. Simply because they chose not to release the BIOS which they had already made mind you.

They said there'd be a link on the AT&T website pointing you to the Moto website. So its going to be on there, just like the Sprint release.

My guess is, Moto already has the AT&T file, ready to go. They're just waiting for AT&T to give them the go-ahead to release it. This sucks....

Exactly, I am sure they have it and that's the link I am talking about, if you can get it then it will be good to go.

While looking around on Motos website, I found that the an update file for Verizon's Q9m called MSU_Q9m_Standalone_Update.exe (not sure what this update is). I also found the update file for Sprint's Q9c called Motorola_Software_Update.exe. Since it didn't have a model number on it, I decided to install it on my PC (without the phone connected of course) to see what it was. It is a Motorola update utility, not specific to Sprint. The update utility detects your IMEI number, Model number, and Mobile Operator and then checks for updates for your phone. I plugged my phone in to see what it said when "check for updates" was selected. It of course said there is no software update currently available for my phone. I'm curious to see if this will be the same update utility for the Q9h when AT&T finally gives the go ahead.

FYI, I found that the update util will not run on Windows Vista 64 bit, you must use WinXP or Vista 32 bit.

what are the actual file paths on the server?
http://bluhbluhblubh/some/directory/with/the/file.exe

and I can try to run a spider on their server to see if get lucky and find that hidden at&t file that is waiting for official release. Its worth a shot.

I am not worried about the OS compatibility, I have over 30 virtual machines with every imaginable OS and configuration for QA and development testing, I will use one of them.

I don't know if the link will work without you having to go through Moto's site and telling them you have a Sprint Q9c under warranty and clicking on "I accept".

Edit: I tested the link out on a different machine. The link works fine.

I can do a direct port capture anyway, so it won't matter either way but thanks for checking. Do you have the other links too, not the generic filename for the update but the model specific ones that you mentioned. Thanks.

I'll write the spider when I get home tonight. The blackwater training facility was approved for SD and its a logistical nightmare so my day is packed, I may not reply again but I will read every post as soon as I can, just leave the information for me here. Thanks.
