WM6 Backup?

Ok I want to do a full Backup of my Herald, so if it crash that i can go into Windows, fire up a program, pressing "restore old ROM" and it is the way i had backuped it.
I know some programs, that are storing backup datas like sms,contacts etc. - but thats not enough for me.
So is there a program that can fulfill my needs?
( and yes, i read a lot in the forum here - but i didn't found anything or i'm just a bit blind )

So does it dump the whole ROM ? I'm currently playing around with mtty... but its hard to find informations on the avaiable commands etc.

It does not make a ROM backup.

well then its gettings weird and im starting to feel pretty sad about the Herald

When you do a backup of your ppc with spb backup, it will backup everything that is on your device (ROM) that is not part of the ROM itself.
It means that all programs installed after a hard reset, all the databases (mails, contacts, notifications,...) all the registry, and all files not being part of the ROM.
So if you do a hard reset and you restore the backup it will be exactly the same as it when you did the backup. And I think that it is what you want.
Caution, if you do an OS up/downgrade, your backup is useless. This backup cannot be either installed on another device.
Cheers,
Fred

ok sweet - ty fred. another question: what if i changed the ROM - how to backup that ? no solution yet?

This is device dependent. With some of them, it is possible, with others it's not, for several reasons. If you don't find tools or someone who managed to do it and provided the way to do so, well you're stuck... I think dumping is not the biggest problem, the real problem is the restore stuff. Sorry, but it is so.

Fred

hehe ok ok - i would be a step closer to my goal if i would find a way to unlock the ROM/ break into, so i can change files in there...

What do you mean? If you're talking about doing it 'live', forget about that. But if you're talking about changing the contents of the Rom before doing the upgrade, well the tools are already existing and kitchens too (depending on the device)

Fred

Well ok - i searched my ass off through the forum, but i didn'T found any solution to get my current WM6 ROM out of the mobile phone ( so i can edit it ).
Gimme a hint pls, so i can proceed researching the stuff.

It should be an official Rom, am I right? If it is the case, download it on the official site and use NBHExtract to get the dump of the .nbh file and rebuild it. Have a look in hermes forum and in xda-wiki
Cheers,
Fred

Yeah it is official, but the thing is: there are no downloads avaiable yet. and thats the point so i'm a bit stucked here...

On the wiki page, I found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades

hehe been there almost 6 times today - and if you try to download them, they would fail.
And the thing is: my current ROM versions exceeds hell of the versions on that page. so why should i use the old ones ? thats not really what i want to :/

T-mobile Ameo Black Screen after unlock

Hi Guys
I've been reading this forum for two days now, and still haven't found the answer to my solution.
I used Olipros unlocker on Saturday, but after step 1 the screen went black and it wont reboot.
I can get into bootloader (by pressing the camera button and the reset pin at the same time), but I can't install the OS from Activesync as the PC can't see the ameo.
I can also get to factory reset (by pressing the volume slider down and powering up), but I haven't done anything in there.
The bootloader shows Olipro SPL 1.2
At the same time as getting this sorted I thought I'd upgrade to WM6 from the posts that are here, but I can't find at all, how to get the ROM onto the ameo without Activesync seeing it.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Joe

i have had the same problem.
i solve doing this :
1rst enter in bootloader mode ( Reset + camera button )
plug your USB cable
and flash WM5 or WM6 rom with flash utility
utilies doesn't trcognize your current rom etc but donc care about
then after flash 100% my athena (HTC advantage boot up normaly again)
i hope my experience help you

Hi, thanks for your advice:
Here's what I'm doing:
Bootloader (Camera and reset hole)
Bootloader shows ATHE100
SPL-v1.20. Olipro
USB
I'm then running mtty tool and can get a connection with:
Cmd>
I type Task 32 and it states Level=0
do I then use the lnbs command?
I'm sorry, I dont see what to do now
You state to upgrade ROM with flash utility, but whats the flash utility?
Is it Mtty?
Or another tool that I haven't got yet?
I have downloaded the ROM update tools, and within the rar files there are apps like, enterbootloader, ruugetinfo, rapitool, etc, but they wont run, they say that they aren't a valid win32 application
Sorry, I know my phones not knackered, just don't know how to get out of it.
Joe

run ROMUpdateutility.exe provided with WM5 rom update or WM6 rom update (if you don't have look at XDA ftps ...)

Thank you so much for your help, got WM6 running on it now, everything's v good.
Cheers
Joe

i'm happy you ameo up and alive

Just out of curiosity, did you take your storage card out before you began the unlock?

not for me : no SD card , only microdrive

Nope, didn't realise I had to....
Is that the common factor in it failing?

I don't think so, I don't have a memory card on my Ameo and had the same problem.. And when I told the Olipro **** that I got the black screen AND his SPL was flashed successfully, he kinda went frenzy about "IT IS NOT MY FAULT, IT IS YOURS! YOU ARE STUPID, I AM GOD!".. Nice support, huh?
Donate the mofo!

yes nice support indeed

I suggest people read the forum thread, I've been aware of the problem since day one after xmen's pda reset itself while running an unpatched SPL.
clearly you're a moron, or your english is ****, possibly both.

Just don't flame "stupid" people. And if someone asks for help: ignore, say that you won't help them or help them properly (without flaming).
Thnx.
And another thing.
You look *smart* and *cool* when you flame other people when they get problems and ask for help!!! (not)

OK... there's nothing I can do about it, if it black screens, please go and flash a ROM with an OS on it.
until I get hold of a new SPL, I do apologise for this unknown bug, but again, as I said, it's an intrinsic problem of 1.10.
Flash a ROM if it happens to you and it'll be fine. your device will NOT be bricked.

Pissed off == no reply @ the forums.

But then again, what do I know, eh?
Some people PAID you to hack/crack/mangle/otherwise play around with a Athena.
No, I didn't use any of your programs... I have had an unlocked Athena since day one. No, I will wait for the official Dopod release on the 20th (hopefully). If I see any bugs, HELL YES I will query the collective hive mind here.
But please, lay off the "I'm better than you" attitude. It doesn't do any good at all.

whilst this isnt an iphone killer application, it still transforms my tired old o2 into a new device.
it has some very cool features. gone are the days of the stylus - you dont need it.
however in saying that there are still a few bugs to sort out. but honestly people, i would recommend everyone trying it out.

"Ok, so you can download the file by clicking the letter "a" at the end of this sentence, which was a way to try and force people to read the statement above because we know you won't and just download the file anyhow."

It seems they're changing their web pages. Looks like more aiming on commercial products. After all I hope they will continue developing the Home application for free and WIN2003 PPC compatible.

Hi, you will first need to "root" the phone, basically the process which gives you FULL access to your device, you are then able to install a rom of your choosing. A gtood place to start is in the following article, which describes exactly the process of rooting your handset.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
Any questions, just ask.

Does anybody know if the Google Ion version of the phone needs to be rooted? The instructions that came in the box suggest that it's possible to install new roms without any hacking because it's a device intended for developers.

Make sure you type the command exactly as written, do not mix back slash and forward slashes, and it will also be case sensitive. If your still having problems power the device down and back up to allow it to remount sd.

thanks, but same problem.
Done step 11. then reboots OK,
tried for Step 12 and keep getting "Access denied", never type anything, only "cut/paste" to avoid possible typing errors.
also tried putting into Fastboot mode (with skateboarders) , this is no use as 'device not found".
any further suggestions? or more simple step-by-step

You don't lose Interop unlock after update to GDR3. You'll lose it after Hard Reset.
The only way to unlock GDR3 is a custom CSC.
