Default Moto Q8 WM6.1

I have been using moto q8 for quite a while now. I found some interseting links to some chinese web site. Interesting because WM6.1 for Q8 is posted over here. Following is the link:
http://download.cnmo.com/5/4727.html
First you have to translate it in English using Google or Altavista etc. and then you can find the download link in the middle of the page (took me a lot of time finding it). On the download page there are five download links. You can click any of the link to download it. After downloading and extracting the file we get three folders, one contains the rom, the second contains the RSD Lite software and the third contain the usb drivers for moto q8.

Also, the installation instructions are also in chinese. But understanding the translated chinese is very difficult too.

I have downloaded the software but couldn,t find the courage to install it.
Please help if some body have tried it.

I tried it on my CDMA Moto q, didnt work, it failed & the phone restarted but luckily it wasnt bricked & everything was back to normal.

even if you try it i think it wont brick your phone.

Actually it will brick your phone search the forums somebody already tried it. And the reason why it dind't brick rahulduggals phone is because its a cdma not gsm so the program didnt even flashed it

Thanx for the suggestion, but I think the other guy who tried it didn't do it in the right way. It is very clear from his post. The first have to be put in the boot loader mode by the following manner:
1- Shut down the phone by pressing and holding the power button
2- Switch on the phone by pressing and holding " * (or A) and Enter " buttons
Then you will see a screen stating:
"Motorola Flash Mode
Boot Loader Version:
BOOT_G_03.12.04R_MPAP


Please Connect the USB Cable"

I hope someone expert will help me.
