Backup of ROM?

Hello.
I want to change/upgrade my ROM to WM6. But I want to make a Backup of my existing from first (maybe I'm to stupid to do the Update) and to have the chance to get my MDA Vario back to life I want to make a backup of the ROM is installed at this time.
Could somebody maybe tell me how i can backup my ROM? And... How can I reinstall the ROM? I think it will be moved to the SD Card?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this.
May problem is that I have a "very" new ROM installed (T-Mobile MDA Vario 2.21.2.8 GER). and I'm unable to complete the the CID unlock process (the Netlock is removed allready with the lokiwiz 3a.).
If I'm entering the Bootloader and open mtty I'm .not able to open the USB port.
Does it mean I need to downgrade?
Thanks Maik

There is a newer public T-Mobile ROM on the T-Mobile website: Version 2.26.2
You need to downgrade your ROM to custom 1.05 (check the WIKI page) in order to run lokwiz CID unlocker!
I tried the version 3 of lokwiz but the only one which worked properly on my MDA was the version .2b
How ever,
the CID lock should not effect the MTTY utility. This is an official HTC procedure and should work on any WIZ.
UPDATE:
I just saw that you're talking about a german ROM? The latest public german ROM is 3.3.8 (check the german T-Mobile site for that!). If you want to keep the older 2.21 you can find it at the Austrian T-Mobile site again after downgrading and unlocking your CID
I am running the german rom AKU3.3 myself - it is much nicier than previous versions and has already some WM6 features integrated.

Ok. So I need to downgrade my Device. to do the CID unlock.
Maybe the system firewall and some other settings are affecting the MTTY issue.
I checked the T-Mobile website for the newer German ROM version.
If I check https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm (what my Device is) I only see the 2.21 version and NO newer version?

1.
Go to www.t-mobile.de
2.
Click on top on the menu "HILFE & FAQ"
3.
Select on that site "Broschüren & Software"
4.
Now click on the left site menu on "T-Mobile Software"
5.
It takes you to a new page and asks you for your MDA. Don't worry if your PDA is not in the list! Just choose any PDA. It will take you to a new page and show you the selected PDA. Right underneath you will see a link: "Model aendern" - click on that link and then chose as Manufacturer T-Mobile and you will find the MDA VARIO!
Sorry for being so complicate but the T-Mobile site is set up with Flash, so, you can't just copy the link! You always have to go the loooong way! Be aware that you have to temporarely allow popup's ... !
How ever,
I will try to paste the link here to the direct download and I hope it works:
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/t-mobile/ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship.zip

Hey the link works....
Thanks. I find out that my Device is a G4 device and I also see that I can't unCID this device... Right?
I'm a little bit in fear that something is going wrong during the Update to WM6 and I have no working Backup on my SD card.
Ok. So this steps I will do. Maybe you can currect me if I'm wrong.
1. I will perform a downgrade to the custom rom 1.05 and then I make a backup after running CID unlock.
2. I make a Backup with the MTTY
3. I will install the WM6
4. If not working I can backup from SD card and maybe install the newest ROM

You only should downgrade for CID unlocking your device! This is required for installing other ROMs than from your cell phone provider!
If you want to upgrade to the new german AKU3.3 from T-Mobile - that should work without CID unlock! You also should be able to downgrade to your existing ROM version in case you just dislike the new AKU3.3
BTW:
If you're planning to upgrade to a selfmade WM6 which you can find all over the web: I tried almost all of them! None was as stabile and good as the german T-Mobile AKU3.3! Sure, they look cute with their VISTA-style look but the functionality is far away from being perfect! Also: Lots of the ROMs are very user-personalized and contain no configuration for your network (such as GPRS and MMS) - my advice: stick to your provider ROMs, either AKU2 (which you're currently running) or the newer AKU3.3 from the link above - at least until you learnt flashing and registry hacking on your device!

WOW I allready can hack the Registry but having sometimes some issues with instructions here . Like I say before... I'm a little bit in fear...

Well, it is understandable! Noone wants to end up with a brick!
There is always a risk in flashing devices! I do it since years now and was unlucky only once by flashing a SIM locked ROM to a Motorola phone. Haven't had any problems since then. The best thing is READING and if you can't find answers just post your question. Next to it is always helpful to check also other Forums or try to find guides in your own mother tongue!
Hacking the registry is not really riskfully - at leat the only one thing what can happen is that your device won't start up and you might lose your files and data. Other than that you should be able in any case to get it running with a hard reset again by holding CON button and Voice Dial button at the same time and press Reset.
Flashing can destroy the device because of it actually erases everything in the device; even the ROM before it writes the new one. But even here you will be able to enter in BOOTLOADER mode in most cases.

Yeah thats right Junner. Reading and asking... Since I flashed my SDA wrong I'm happy to have a Backup on the SD card to get the Image back. If this is the case I'm happy.
I installed AKU 3.3 and it's looking good and working fine.
Maybe I will downgrade to the custom 1.05 and do a backup. I only want to look how the WM6 is looking.
Are you German? Or german speeking?

The ROM backup to SD card via MTTY should work without CID unlocking your device! There is no need to downgrade for that purpose. I had hard times by doing it too. It took me several trials until it worked finally!
The downgrade is only necessary if you're planning to install ROMs from other providers or ROMs in other languages. I asume you're german, so, if you don't believe anything I say - this you can believe: the german AKU3.3 is the best out there you can find for the WIZ
Like I mentioned earlier: all the WM6 ROMs you will find all over the web are user created! They are either taken off from other devices and changed around until they worked on the WIZ or just visual pepped up AKU3.3 ROMs (the one you installed now). Allthough, I did not find any WM6 out ther which did not have issues in one way or another ...
I speak a little bit german , yeah!
We have WURSTFEST here once a year with lots of Sauerkraut and beer ...

Mates, if I read my rom am i going to be able to copy it to pc and Dump it with a ROM Kitchen?

HTC P3300 - Original Rom backup & WM6 updgrading

*EDIT* : Nevermind. Mods please delete

¿¿¿¿¿¿?????????

All this fuss and the file is available in HTC
Even though HTC removed the link from their website, the ORIGINAL file is still in the same place!!
http://member.htc.com/downloadfiles..._WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe
How about that? I was for 2 hours trying to find it and could only find crappy patches with weird roms and utilities to bypass... that DO NOT WORK in Vista 64.
Dunno why nobody posted the original file? Its just run & upgrade, no need for workarounds...

Artemis Original ROM
Hi, can anyone get me an original PTG ROM for Artemis? I cant seem to find any working link and although I read the tutorial on how to backup my ROM (the original one) I am affraid I cannot do it myself... or on my own...
I have had problems before and had to send it for repair twice, but I don't wantto send it with another ROM, they might say it was that that chrashed it, or say it voided the warranty...
Please help me....

I need WM5 Japanese version ASAP

S O S
Hi, all
My Hermes' touch screen is dead. I returned it to softbank to get it fixed, but it was sent back to me from the manufacturer. The manufacturer report says that it is because I changed the ROM. Yes I did. You can read part of history of ROMs I ever tried.
Now, I need to reinstall the original WM5 Japanese version as I got it for the first time. I tried to find the ROM in the CD but there is nothing except ms office.
Does anyone have WM5 Japanese version, so I can download it and install it to my hermes?
I heard it that I have to modified the nbh file since I installed HardSPL already? How to modify nbh file?
Thanks in advance..

Sorry,
I got the ROM from this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
However, the screen alignment software doesn't work. It works when I use it to flash my hermes into other English ROM.
I got the screen alignment software from this
http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_1/product_3/MSP_RemoteAlignment.zip
Any help??

I failed to convince softbank x01ht manufacturer to get my device fixed. sadly, i think it's the end of the toy.
RIP my Softbank X01HT, July 24th 2008.

Damn SoftBank, its always like this. We just HAVE to be sure to downgrade to original ROMs when we deal with them...
What did they actually say to you?

what I saw from the report the manufacturer sent with my hermes back to softbank shop was they didn't accept the phone coz the ROM has been changed.
My fault is I didn't change it to Japanese ROM first before sending it. I did try but I couldn't by passing the screen alignment screen in Japanese ROM. Screen alignment software doesn't work in Japanese ROM.
I thing I knew the culprit. I should have removed the .lnk file in windows folder after flashing. But it's too late now..

[Error 300] INVALID UPDATE TOOL!!! Is there any fix

Mods, Developers, Seniors...
Anyone know how to get around with the Error 300 Invalid update Tool, problem?????
I think we can donate(maybe pay will be appropriate in this case ) to the developers who bring out a fix for it.
My Device gets only into the bootloader mode. When flashing the original ROM from DOPOD SEA WM6 WWE SHIP, it gets to the progress screen and @ 0% the RUU gives the Error 300.
Tried the SD Card flash method also, no luck!
I beleive the CID area is corrupt!!!
I had downloaded a tool to change the splash screen image, didn't used it, but by mistake the EnterBootLoader.exe (SPLJump) got executed and screwed the device
Been through the forum, but no help at all
Any takers?

it may be original rom,but does it have correct cid
1.you can get right rom by registration at manufacturers site
2.you can download one from wiki or forum,but in this case you will have to cid unlock your device,you have to download artemis uspl from artemis upgrading thread and than flash any rom you want,just be carefull to flash a rom that is for artemis,because flashing any other rom will brick your device
3.uspl the device and flash the rom you mentioned

I sent my device to HTC service center and go it resolved. That is the only thing which worked for me after a couple of weeks searching in the forums and no solution. But the HTC SC buggers replaced my device entirely and gave me back an old **** device . So also keep this in mind. you won't be sure, if you get your original device back after the so called repair. HTC SC in India is super *****y, had a bitter experience!
Now I have moved to TD2, know that I was at loss, but am happy to have a shiny new TD2

Service Centre at Mumbai Sucks Big Tym....
HTC service centre at mumbai sucks big time....
they said they can't replair my cell n it has a HARDWARE ISSUE!!!
stupid lasses....
What can we do here getting the same error....
Tried MMC method, nothing!
HOW CAN THERE BE NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM??????????

no have solution this problem ???
stupid ! CID area !!! STUPID HTC ---

Please Help Me No GSM

Dopod 838 Pro Ipl1.04 Spl2.30 Olipro

please info me step by step

Did you even read the link? It tells you what to do.
Plus, your not giving us much info to go on. And actually, I'm guessing if you searched with some of the details of how your nosgm started, someone probably already experienced it and has a conclusion of how to fix/couldn't fix.

help me please infor me step by step

No GSM showing means that something went wrong with the radio rom upgrade.
I suggest that you try to downgrade to the official rom for your device. Then you can upgrade to whatever version of OS you want, but make sure that the rom does not contain radio upgrade.

The Issue "No GSM" is because of bad sodering contacts between the QC and Samsung flash or the Samsung CPU and the contiguous flash (samsung) and it resuts all the strange behaviours of this HTC model. Anyway for me it's another proof of samsung quality
Low emission soldering + thin ICs (big foolish sandwich FLASH/CPU) + over located Keyboard = possible cold/bad contact soldering problem.
The proof is the many "NoGSM" issues got without any trying ROM update, or the too many 2XX errors during upgrade.

Do you have a problem with the radio not working?(not able to receive signal, make/receive calls/text?) Cause i had the same problem. Anyways, the way i fixed it is by dissasembling the 8525, and reassembling it back together. Then i flashed the official wm6 rom with 1.48 radio, and it works fully now.
I heard that no gsm can occur with a failed radio flash, which i think is unrepairable, except by replacing the motherboard. If it wasnt a failed radio flash, then i think theres several methods to remedy it. Just try all the methods including mines. Hope you get it to work, theres been too many "no gsm" errors lately. Whoever designed the 8525 should be shot for making such a weak phone.
