Using ROMUPDATE tools (mtty) we can backup the original ROM from the HTC PPC phone edition (like O2,T-Mobile,XDA,dopod,MDC,etc). But we knew also, we can't recovery the RADIO version by using the ROM. so, How to backup the ROM and how to recovery it to ORIGINAL? Method? Thanks!

The method is the same except you have to press Power + Camera + Soft Reset to go to Bootloader mode.

Im already rooted+soff+eng hboot and having trouble understanding the whole process.
I need to backup my stock, wipe, then flash ROM.
How do i do a backup?
Whats is Nandroid, Clockwork, Recovery mode, ROM Manager and how to use then?
Wipe and flashing is done through recovery mode?
Is there specific recovery images for each ROM?
Thanks in advance.
------------------------------------------
If i understand correct, a recovery image need to be loaded so i can use the typical recovery options(flash, backup, wipe).
- first thing you'll need to do, is install clockworkmod rom manager from the market. it's free, but you should donate for the pro version if you like it.
- once you're in it, you'll need to press "flash recovery." it should flash the 2.5.1.2 recovery on your phone. do this twice as for some reason, doing it once doesn't get it done.
- after that you can then boot into recovery mode.
--you can either boot into recovery mode from within rom manager, or,
--you can boot into the bootloader (power off your device, and then hold the volume down button and hold the power button, and then let the power button go but keep the volume down button until the bootloader shows up) and then choose "recovery" from the menu
- once you're in recovery, you can do backups, restores, etc.
- a nandroid = full backup
- a full wipe/factory allows you to completely wipe your system so that it's ready for a new rom
- a wipe cache and a wipe dalvik (and possibly fix permissions) is what you'd usually do if you're just doing an incremental upgrade to an existing rom
- recovery 2.5.1.2 (installed from rom manager) will allow you do work with all roms except for cm7/gingerbread roms. those roms require recovery 3.x.x.x
feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, and hope that helps.
is it need to use z4root root the phone
i try to get into recovery through two method but only get phone icon and triangle icon
what step i done wrong or something i missing to do?
I have rooted my hero using androot, downloaded rom manager and let it flash clockwork recovery that worked, i turned my phone off then on again with the power and home buttons pressed, did a back up with no problems. This bit confused me, i did the power on with the home and power buttons pressed just to make sure it worked, and i got the phone with a red triangle again, what does this mean ?? :S

It means your clockworkmod recovery is gone, and you have no recovery image. Maybe it's because androot. It is not a complete root. To check your backup, just search in your sd card. There must be a nandroid folder.
To get back recovery, mayby you should use rom manager again or do a full root.

What you need to do is
1. Make sure you have a custom rom Zip on your SD card
2. Do Androot
3. Do Nand Backup
4. Full wipe
5. install your Custom rom
and you are done.. once you install the custom rom you can keep going to recovery as many times as you want

thanks i did that and it worked
running Elelinux 7.0.0 now
I've searched the forums without any luck. Anyways, I have a question about root and recovery. Yesterday I rooted my phone using a guide from the unlockr. All went well and my phone is now rooted. I want to install a new ROM on my phone and I keep reading about installing "recovery" before the ROM and I'm not sure if I've done that? Is there a way to know if I have installed the recovery or not?
Oh wow I'm stupid. On the guide it says I now have root access and a recovery image. My bad. But now I have another question; If I don't happen to like the new ROM is it easy to just go back to normal, like factory settings?
First Question
It's quiet easy.
- If you have rom manager installed, you have clockworkmod recovery installed.
- If not, try to power on your tattoo with the touches "home" + "power" until you go on the recovery. If you go on the recovery, you got it! ;-)
Second question
Before flashing a rom, do a Nandroid backup in the recovery so you can restore to your current rom with all yours data.

I have the clockwordmod recovery v3.0.0.5 and I started the phone by pressing home+power and I hit the "Backup and restore" option but there's no "Nandroid backup" thingy, all I see is "backup" or "restore", is that the same thing?
I'm running a backup right as we speak.
Yes! the backup & restore menu are the nandroid backup & restore...

Okay, thanks! The backup is done and I'm now copying the clockworkmod folder to my computer, and soon I'm gonna try flash the nFinityGB rom
cross your fingers! lol
Well, I copied the nFinityGB.zip-file and put it on the SD crad, but when i try to start it in recovery mode it gets stuck on "Tattoo" on the screen. What am I doing wrong? lol
to install the rom, you have to go in the recovery. did you push home + power buttons as well during the boot?

Yeah I did, I fixed it though by doing the root thing again, dunno why I couldn't start the phone in recovery mode. I have the nFinityGB rom now though, looks pretty awesome
Thanks for your help btw!
Hi People of XDA, i downloaded clockwork mod from rom manager not long ago and found out that if i hold the down volume button it takes you to something called HBOOT and some modes like fast boot mode, simlock and recovery and was just wondering what can i do with this and how and what potentials does it have??? any help would be great!
It's like the BIOS of a computer. HBOOT allows you to boot into recovery (only if you rooted your phone and flashed a recovery).
And you know that a recovery allows you to load roms, perform backups and restores, wipes data, cache and a lot of other utilities.
What does simlock do?

I've seen instructions for installing custom ROM's where you bring up the ROM file inside Odin (PDA area),
then you place the cell in Download mode, then you hit the [Start] button.
Instead of doing this, why can't you place the ROM files onto the SD card, then use Recovery mode to install them from there?
Thanks!

I only used Odin to root my device. After setting up a custom recovery, I've downloaded all my ROMs to the SD card and flashed them from there. Since you're (hopefully making and) putting your nandroid backup on the SD card, it makes it very easy to recover from an accident.
The method I used was from a Youtube video where the guy used Odin to root, and then GooManager to install TWRP. I've got a custom ROM on my phone and haven't looked back.
Good luck and have fun,

you need a custom recovery, I prefer TWRP, as stated above you can get it through goomanager which is available from the play store. after installing the recovery you can download any rom you want to your pc, transfer it to your phone (either phone storage or external SD) after that go into recovery mode on the phone (hold volume UP home button and power button down at the same time, when you see the Samsung logo, let off all buttons) at this point you can find the rom you transferred, and flash, before flashing anything you will want to do a nandroid backup, then do a full wipe before flashing the rom. after the rom is installed you can go into recovery through the power menu. good luck!

So a couple of questions then:
1: You cannot install a ROM using stock recovery?
2: What's included in an nandroid backup?
I'm assuming it includes the modem/radio files, yes?

1. no, you will need either TWRP ot CWM
2. backs up all your data, etc, so yes everything gets backed up

You use Odin to flash .tar files, which reverts your phone back to stock, unrooted factory condition.
Once you've rooted the phone, you use a custom recovery to install unsigned .zip files, which will generally be custom roms and/or mods.
Stock recovery will only install .zip files that are signed by the manufacturer, such as OTA updates and....not much else. If your phone is rooted, you have absolutely no use for stock recovery.
A Nandroid backup will usually include the boot image, system files, and user apps & data. I use TWRP, which also gives you the option to back up your recovery and EFS partition (telephony data). In most cases, you only need to make a backup of boot, system, and data.
Hope this helps.
