If you can backup a CDMA phones flash/firmware… where do these firmwares on the net come from?

Currently in the CDMA world, the only way for us to get firmware files, is for a copy to be LEAKED to us.. The “Leaked” firmwares are files that are basically “stolen” by a Motorola or wireless carrier employee, who then posts the file on the internet for us… So we can’t always count on this ever happening, nor can we have any expectations that a particular firmware will actually get leaked, or when it will be leaked. NOTE: recently US Carriers (other than Verizon) are making their firmware updates available via Moto Software Update (aka MSU )… so we’ve been able to get our hands on a few CDMA UPGRADE Firmware files that way…
