need sprint Q full firmware

[dcd]

a couple of days ago i (accidentally) flashed my sprint Q to vzw firmware
I then flashed back to sprint.

the vzw firmware is a full ROM (monster pack) and the sprint firmware I have is only an upgrade ROM. Thus the vzw flex was not overwritten.

does anyone have the FULL rom/firmware for the sprint Q? I have been to every sprint store in 2 cities and cannot get help - one technician actually suggested I go to everythingq

probably trying to get the MMS/picturemail to work. anyway, does the installation cd have it or motorola.com? if worse comes to worst, you can always take it to a sprint store i guess... wonder how that'll turn out tho that you converted a sprint q to a pseudo-vzw q.

im going to stick to my guns that it was an accident for warranty purposes

my story is that i woke up to bootloader mode, ran the software update to fix it, and didnt realize i had the vzw version installed. so i put it back into flash mode and ran the sprint update. actually, i have had no pushback from the store techs I talked to, they all seem to beleive its a simple mistake to make.

theoretically, yes the vzw firmware has MMS, and some other changes I was, um, glad to have an opportunity to play with.

what I have discovered is that the vzw Q firmware contains a vzw "flex"
anyone familiar with the moto modding community should know what this is

the sprint firmware does not contain a sprint flex. thus my phone now has sprint firmware..but vzw flex.

I tried several sprint stores but I live in an iPCS area so you can imagine the response I got...

At this point I am hoping to get ahold of a motorola-branded flex. Actually, I wouldnt have a problem with the verizon flex, if the HDR username and password were not locked in it, which they are, so no power vision...

and to answer what was i thinking... i knew the worst case scenario would be what I have now - I see it as motivation to pick up a mogul, if I cant get it fixed. If I sell my Q, I will likely flash vzw firmware and program it for cricket, and sell as a cricket-compatible Q.
