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.

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)

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 ).

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,

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...

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 :/

I know, this issue has been already treated in other posts, but up to now, I have not found a solution on how to unlock Extended ROM on the magician. Is that just one of those cases: "it is not possible".
Or did I oversee something somewhere else in the forum ?
Cheers

it is not locked.
it is just a section of the flash rom.
you can flash it using 'pflashrom' - i did not put a compiled version in itsutils, since i am afraid people will mess up there phones with it. if you are knowlegable enough to compile it, you can probably use it sensible enough not to break your phone.
willem
Since it is ROM (Read Only): does it mean, I can't write anything to it ?
Excuse my dumb questions.
I can see the Extended Rom either directly on the MDAc or thru Activesync with explorer. Thats not the problem.
When I try to copy something, it says that it is write protected.

Hey Willem,
Okay, i have to compile these textfiles into a program? Using what? I'm a kind of person who doesn't ever do any hacking or programming but i heard a friend of mine say that you can clear the extended rom so you can use the memory as working or storage mem. i would like to... Any tips?
Cheers
Hey itsme,
I have been looking through your code for this and I have a question. I notice you are referencing specific addresses. I have a HP 6515 on its way and working with someone that has one, it seems to recycle alot of the Magician. Can you give me some tips on how to find the specific addresses on this device? Thanks.

One hell of a giant leap for mankind I say!!
It will certainly make the iPhone take a run for its money..
thanks for the link btw..
where is the download link? I can't see it on my screen.

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.

Read the first post on PointUI forum
"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."
PointUI and ROM 2.03
I installed it (on march,1st ) in the main storage of my device, and it works! I think it´s the place, not the date

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.

Notes
Update Manager removed from install. Normal application uninstall should now work.
I finally bought the software package of WIMP (Where is My Phone) and I read somewhere that it is possible to 'cook' the program into the rom so when the thief does a Hard Reset it stays into the phone so I can always retrieve it. Only the tutorials I have found aren't useable on the Touch HD (Blackstone).
Does anyone has a tutorial to cook WIMP into the Rom of the Touch HD, or maybe another program like WIMP which I can use and cook?
Have you got it to autostart on your phone?? Atleast that is what i am trying to do, but no luck still, do you have a "howto"? Without autostarting the program is basically useless
I have also been looking into this type of thing.

Thank you for the link, but in this link they are referring to a different Rom than the standard HTC rom. I want to know if it's possible to cook it in the standard HTC Rom. I can't test is, because it will need an hard reset to test, and an hard reset is the last I want
Is there someone who could test it for me?
Thanks in advance.

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:

I realize it's 2021.
This is my first ever smartphone and I recently found a used one on ebay for like $20. I bought it for the nostalgia, can you blame me?
I would really like to get something other than WinMo 5 on it. Ideally 6.1 since I know those were the most stable. But all of the links are dead--I've searched dozens of threads so far. Does ANYONE happen to have a link or a copy of one of the flashable ROMs left?
Heya! I was in the same situation as you for a while - it took years of on and off searching in order to find it, I even made some posts here under my old username (F84Win), forgot my password for that one though. Eventually a couple years ago I was able to track down the official WinMo 6.0 update thanks to me actually thinking about the best way to find it. It's RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe and a bunch of websites have re-uploaded it, so it shouldn't take more than a quick Google search of that filename to locate it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any custom 6.1 or 6.5 ROMs with working links, but this'll at least get you up to 6.0.
EDIT: Someone on Reddit also found a Mega upload full of custom ROMs a few days ago, you might be able to find something interesting in there (Schap's 4.30, for example).
