Well i received this Motorola flash mode screen 4 days ago and i looked everywhere possible for a fix and just about everything i tried failed so here is what i did that fixed mine in less then 5 min.
1. First thing you must do is get you battery charged. This can be done by asking a friend who has a q to do it for you or borrow someones fully charged battery. Your q will not be able to charge the battery while in flash mode. This is the main reason why the phone went bad in the first place. So once you get you battery charged you will be ready for step to.
2. Second thing you will need to do is get the motorola update from the motorola website. Once you installed the upadate, it will create a shortcut into the desktop. Save this you will need it for later. Close the motorola update screen. Once done so move on to step 3.
3. Third thing u will need to do is put in the fully charged battery and once the Motorola flash mode screen loads up plug your q to your pc. Windows should detect the Motorola flash interface. Try to install it. The first couple times It should fail to do so. Then right click on My computer and go to properties. Once the screen shows up click on the hardware tab. Once you do that, click on device manager. Then were ever you see yellow question marks expand the menu. If you find the Motorola flash interface there right click it and go to uninstall. Once done so unplug your phone once again and take out the battery and put it back in. Then plug it back in. Then it should detect the Motorola interface again. Continue to do the same thing until your pc recognizes the Motorola flash interface. Once your pc recognizes this then move on to step 4.
4. Fourth and final thing you must do is open up your Motorola software update. This time the update will recognize your Q. Once you have selected you carrier and your phone type. Click on next and the update should begin. Let it update on its own. When done your phone will be completely restored to brand new.
This worked for me and i hope it works for you. I believe this is the main fix for it. If you have anymore questions or need any help what so ever feel free to contact me at the following places.

I don't think it's a good idea to post your cell phone number on the net. I think maybe/if you do give it out it's
after someone contacts you by the IM's and
if you trust them enough to exchange numbers. You have to be careful of the "inter
nUts". Plz change this for your own protection. OK?
