Motorola Flash Mode. Bootloader error - Motorola Q Forum

So uh, I went to turn my q on one day and i get a dos based screen that says
Motorola Flash Mode
Bootloader Version:
BOOT_C_03.08.00R_MPAP

and this only comes on when its connected to the PC or to a charger..otherwise it's dead and won't power on.

Anyway to reflash the OS if I can't get the PC to recognize it? I have a mini SD card I could download to

Well, if it helps bring any attention to my post... first time poster, lurked for 18 months, I've had about 5 q's between sprint and verizon, currently on sprint and this is the first problem this phone has had. My verizon versions were nightmares and I'm frankly shocked I still have a Q. I had an old MCSE so if this requires some technical experience, I aint skrrd.

Gracias

Unfortunately, the software is corrupt, and the only way would be to take it back to Sprint and see if they can reload the sw or just exchange it out for you.
