Getting WM6.1 on Moto Q (aka Q8) - General Questions and Answers

I have a Moto Q(8) from Sprint and I would like to do Motorola's (and Sprint's) job for them and get WM6.1 on my phone. On this forum, I've only found one working update, but it is for GSMA based phones. So, is there a way to port a Sprint Moto Q9c ROM to my Sprint Moto Q(8). If so, then can someone please tell me all the steps, as I'm very new to the whole mobile platform.

Windows Mobile 6.1 for a Q9c from Centennial in PR

Hi.
This is my first post on the forum.
Does any any one of you know how to upgrade to WM6.1. I check in the Motorola webpage, but the for the company they don't has any upgrade yet.
I try with the upgrade for Verizon and T-Mobile, but the program said that there's any upgrade for the moment.
I apprecite you're help.
I'm new to the Q9c.
Regards
My Q9c came with WM6.1; how old is yours?
I'm just looking to make mini-weather or something like it work for me. I'm on Sprint. And I too am on my first "smart" phone, although it doesn't seem too smart yet...
I buy the phone on January 9. The company is Centennial in Puerto Rico.
Now they sell the phone with WM6.1 and they said to check on the web page of Motorola. They don't work with any upgrade.
What a wonderfull customer service department. They don't know nothing.
1st time poster looking for a solution to get tcpmp to work on wm6.1 moto q9c...
Try going to http://www.mobile-files.com and search the cdma/motorola forum for the firmware you need. I upgraded my VRZ Q9c from that site.

[Q] Cellular South - What Android Phone to get?

I am a Sprint Hero user looking for a phone for my dad who is on Cellular South. He needs a device with a hardware keyboard and these are the ones listed that fit his needs:
LG Axis
Motorola Milestone
BlackBerry Bold
I suggested he get a android. He will not be rooting it etc. Just a regular user. In regards to the Androids, would you suggest the LG Axis or the Motorola Milestone? I am guessing the Milestone is exactly the same as the Motorola Droid? I can't find the LG Axis on phonescoop.com so was just wondering what others would suggest would be a better device? He knows how to use a BlackBerry but I'd rather him get a android device just because of how much more it can do in regards to apps etc.

[Q] HTC 8X questions for new user

Hello,
I was looking to buy an 8X and had a few questions before I do I was hoping someone could/would answer:
1. I was wondering if anyone can post suggestions of reputable retailers that sell the "HTC Windows Phone 8X Unlocked" that will work on AT&T with 4G LTE.
Please note I am looking for the official "Unlocked" version straight from HTC.
2. Is it possible to share the internet via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/USB with the 8X to a PC or other device?
3. Can any one post highly recommended custom ROMs for the 8X?
I am coming from an older HTC HD2 using Dutty's ROMs and I am looking to see what I can do similar with the new 8X phone.
Thanks.
1. I bought it straight from Bell Aliant (Canadian AT&T). Hence, I couldn't recommend you any retailers.
2. Sure is! As far as I know, you can only do a Wifi Hotspot.
3. There's no custom ROMs for WP8. It's a Windows Phone, really not as open as Android. But really, you don't need a custom ROM. I was an Android fanboy before switching to Windows Phone. I loved the idea of customizing my phone and using the latest, fastest ROM. However, this phone is seriously the fastest phone I've ever used, without even having a custom ROM.
I bought an unlocked and unbranded Bell (Canada) 8X. It works 100% on ATT after a couple of tweaks like APN's. I believe that AT&T and Bell are the only two versions that will work with AT&T's LTE. Do some research and check out the exact model numbers before purchasing.

[Q] Moto g on sprint

I'm looking to get my mom on a framily group on sprint but when I went to look at the phones available I didn't see the moto g. This would be the perfect phone for her because she wont be doing much on it. Anyone know if there is a moto g compatible with the sprint network. I guess my next question would be is there anything like the moto g(droid mini, razr i) that would work on the sprint network.

Calling all DEVs Moto G CDMA (XT1028/31) variants CM12 issues

Hey guys & gals,
The CM Team started nightlies for the Moto G 1st gen (falcon) a while back and as before they were supposed to have multivariant support(to include XT1028/31). However this time the CDMA devices only have incoming calls and text and no data. We've posted in the official thread here to let the OP know of the issues and to let the maintainer for the falcon devices know. But there haven't been any official replies/announcements. So some of the code junkies who own the CDMA variants started a dedicated thread. You can find the thread here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3036120
The thread contains all logs, attempted fixes and theories to date. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Regards,
Chris

CDMA (Prepaid) is dead in the developing world. Just get gsm or gsm/cdma devices. I agree its absolutely ridiculous but its just how it is. I owned the boost moto g and ended up breaking it (hucked it across a room and onto the floor). but while i had it i told myself... look.. look at all these prepaid cdma devices. they are so cheap and plentiful but devs just dont like them.. i guess i will have to conform. Then i got a Moto G 2014 through consumer cellular.. It seems to be evened out in the non prepaid areas (cdma to gsm) but sprint prepaid mini companies just dont attract the attention that big guys like sprint, att, us cellular, and verizon do.
The short and simple. Buy a new phone (Unless you want to delve into development and work your brain out.. ALOT)

@CurbThePain Thanks for the post but...I'm already well into theming and development...I guess this news goes along with the coming Easter holiday because if CDMA development is dead then the Moto G just was resurrected, the CDMA data issue is solved for the Moto G CM12 as of this afternoon the code is being cleaned up as we speak. Not to mention the official soak test is well underway with an official 5.0.2 rom in the wild. I have a Nexus 5 and a Moto X 2nd Gen on T-Mobile, you shouldn't assume people just have one phone. ... I use my Boost phone for work so if I'm on a roof and it drops it won't cause a fit of rage or thoughts of suicide. Not to mention 45 bucks for 5GB of high-speed data on an MVNO subsidiary isn't bad. CDMA will be around till at least 2020 according to most articles released by the primary CDMA carriers.
Mods feel free to close this thread. Mission accomplished!

Wow...that's strange its one of the most developed for devices around. The 1st gen has official support for CM, AOSPA, PAC, Slim, Dirty Unicorns and almost all the major after market roms CDMA included. Has support for CWM standard and swipe, TWRP and Philz...I've actually enjoyed it.
