Hello,
I've got a new Xperia including a two year guarantee. So I'am able to exchange my mobile phone in case of some unexpected problems [Windows-Updates are as well possible] But I want to give new roms a try because they partly seem to be really beautiful. Is there the possibility to backup my original rom [I already read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462926] and restoring it without any changes? When flashing a new rom I have to "install" HardSPL - Is it as well possible to restore the original bootloader?
I would be pleased about useful answers - Thanks a lot
Kind Regards

Yes, it's possible to restore the stock ROM and stock_spl in case of guarantee. It's not necessarily required to backup your original ROM. You can download and flash an original ROM.
yes totally possible!
look at the Roms sub Forum @ the stickys. Probably you will find your providers stock rom there, so you dont need to back up your rom manually. (if you do it manually, make sure you do it after a hard reset with no programs and infos from you on it).
But note: If you USB Jack gets faulty or you destroy your phone in any other way you'll not be able to restore or flash anything.
Thanks
Yesterday I flashes some Roms and there's nothin else for it to hope for no problems/crashes In a pinch I'll try to restore everything

In case i need to revert to an original rom, do i need to have the original bootloader, or will hard spl be enough?

If you want to go back to stock, the easiest thing you can do is first flash the original ROM and then flash back the original SPL.
You could also use sony ericsson update service to get the original ROM back, to then flash SPL back to normal.
my problem is other way around!
My HTC Hero doesn't detect PC Connection when I connect it using USB cable. Doesnt matter whether I connect USB cable to charger or PC the charging LED turns on.
I had MoDaCo 2.7 rom previously and it was working perfectly, once I upgrade some apps using Android Market (using 3G) after that I connected hero to PC and nothing happen.
I upgrade the rom to MoDaCo 2.9 and new radio file, no success.
Wipe EXT and reinstall MoDaCo 2.9 and new radio file, no success.
I think it should be software problem not a hardware problem, since when I m in "fastboot (PWR + BACK)" when I connect USB cable it should USB in RED color in front of FASTBOOT.
please help! any idea? suggestion?
Did you mount the SD card to USB from the Hero?
My problem is that it doesnt show me any mount option at all!
it used to when connected shows some USB PC Connection icon in shade bar on top left of screen sp I scroll it down click on it and tap on mount button. but now nothing happen! shows nothing! it is like my Hero doesnt detect PC connection and just charges.
Any one has same problem with MoDaco Roms? is it because of Roms?
Today I booted into fastboot and when I ran "fastboot devices" command on my PC I can see name of my device on PC. also on Hero I can see a text in red "FASTBOOT USB" can I do something here to fix my problem?
I used GParted to merge Fat32 Ex3 and Swap partitions on SD card and make it as one Fat32 partition... reformat SD card... still when I connect Hero to PC this error pop up "USB Device not recognised!"
Downgrade my radio to 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Downgrade the rom to MoDaco v2.5
USB Device Not recognized disappeared! and nothing happen...
no success!
Restore to Original backup using Nandroid Restore 2.2.
no success!
usb connect
Hi
for me with Rom modaco 2.9 usb detection ok i can mount sd but i have lost the HTC sync use. (All working with the last modaco rom).
so you used to have same problem? did u wipe data before rom upgrade? did u install new radio?
thus usb problem seems to be becoming a common virus for hero. previously we had 2-3 users with same prob. now another 1. man this is scarry. i imported my hero and dont have warranty. so anything happens to me hero i am ruined.
Yeah! it is a annoying problem... I found some other people in other forum they have same problem...currently no solution... I ll ship back my phone for warranty, maybe they change the motherboard for me. but I feel like it is not a hardware problem since in fastboot not only PC detect my hero but also I can run fastboot commands.
it is good to inform people who are going to buy hero from Ebay to be carful especially those in HK, this problem is popular among them. mine was shipped from there.

The problem happen after I upgrade some application while I was using MoDaco 2.3 Rom. Then I flashed MoDaCo 2.9 Rom with new radio then I downgraded to MoDaco 2.5 (I read in other post that this version of rom can solve the problem) and then I restore my original back which contain original rom came from factory... all same result without any different. Now I m using modaco 2.9 with last radio I dont know any other rom that I can try...

bro cud u plz try modaco 2.8?
my wifi stops working with dhcp in modaco 2.7 and 2.9. modaco 2.6 and 2.8 gives me auto ip from dhcp. so i use modaco 2.8.
I flashed v2.8... same result still cannot detect pc connection! I m going to flash one of the original roms and ship it back...
still I feel like it is a software problem... some directories need to be flashed or reset... perhaps some directories not reset even you flash new rom... anyone has any idea about that?

OH! this problem is spreading!
Can you please tell what happen to your Magic then you get this problem? since still there is not actual solution for that. you can try solution mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4837803&postcount=18 if not just ship back your Magic for warrany: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4965845&postcount=39
I am having this too, and I'm on the original Orange ROM (after being on 2.2 a while back).
A presumed it was a windows 7 issue, since that is the only thing to have changed for me since I flashed last time.
I don't know what happens.
One day it was working, and the day after, not !!!
I'm using win xp3, but I tried to connect this week-end into win 7.
And the problem appeared during the week-end.
So this is maybe a way to investigate !
hey guys, i need some help with a restore. i flashed a new 2.1 rom and want to go back to the fresh 1.1, but when i do a nand restore i get the error "run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!" im assuming i need to do something via the dos prompt (win7) like when i rooted it, but was hoping someone could give me a bit more direction? thanks!
same problem here
try and get acces to you micro usb (with a usb adaptor or by using another phone ect...)
copy a new rom onto it and flash it again
theyre might be other ways but im not too sure of them
i know i can do that as a last resort, but id like to restore so i dont have to customize it again.
actually, i found the answer in the sprint forum. seems the battery was too low, when i tried it after a fresh charge everything went fine!

I have CMYLXGOs Stock Desire ROM installed on NAND and need to revert back to stock so that I can send it in for a warranty repair but I cant connect to WMDC. The only option is to connect to HTC sync, but no option to connect to ActiveSync. How do I get the phone back to stock? I did this a while ago and its probably easy, but I cant figure it out and its early Thanks!
EDIT: I figured it out! Thanks for reading
