Sprint WM5 Moto Q Rom

I'm hoping someone can help me,

I bought a new Htc touch pro to replace my Q. I got this screen on the q from letting the battery run down

Now that I have a new phone Id like to donate this Q to charity. I took it to sprint but they refuse to put the software back on it due to "moisture" which is a tacky clear substance under the softkeys that looks like it was part of the manufacture. Can anyone point me towards a basic wm5 sprint moto q rom so i can flash it back?

Did you flash it with some type of custom ROM or something? Never seen that screen other that.

i saw it on mine a few weeks ago... it rebooted while in my pocket and halted on that screen, pulled battery and life was good again :}

Ahh. Ok. Makes sense. The Hard Reset is good idea if he 's trying to get rid of it anyway

No custom rom, All I did was let the battery run out.

It seems to be a relatively common problem.

Hard reset doesnt work nor does pulling the battery for two hours or motorolas firmware update, ##000000# or a+z a+e a+space z+e etc etc.

This is why I am looking for a version of the sprint rom, ive already been through every trouble shooting technique i could possibly do, even the sprint tech told me so before they refused to flash the device.

I know a ROM does exist, may have to search for Monster Flash Files and RSD lite.

If you have a Sprint Q, that was purchased after June '07 then your phone is a brick. I've had four of things go belly up with the same problem. I did weeks of research and there is no fix.
