Hello!
I tried to ask about this in different topics but without response, so I had to create a new thread. I have found some methods in this forum but they were usually for other devices and did not work on Polaris.
The question is:
How to backup the original ROM and Radio on HTC Polaris?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Theriel
you must read some posts about how dumping a rom....
cheers
I'm no cook, so I wonder if any cooks here could do me a favour and port a PT Opal Rom to and elfin?
I'm reading and trying to learn how to do it, but the truth is that I'm to scared to mess up my Elfin and thats why i ask you to do it.
Hope that somebody will have the hart to help me.
The rom was released here:

Well, you are lucky, the great chefs in this forum are several steps ahead, if you look around in the forums you'll find many ROMs that are already Opal-like or "Opalized". Please see the Elf upgrading forums, search for a ROM you like and try.
Also in the Opal wiki they have extracted items from Opal ROMs
I'll refer you to my favorite ROM, called Tess:

But as mentioned you can choose the one you like the most.

Hi there!
I'm thinking about upgrading my Touch Cruise to WM6.1 and if someone has some time to help me out I'll be pleased.
- Where can I find the ROM to do so?
- Can be it downgraded to WM6.0 back?
- Have anyone experienced problems with Cruise and WM6.1?
Thank you very very much!!
Hi charlietron,
Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1? - Oh YES !
Where? - HERE, Where Else ?Any problem? - No Problems ...
Only problem is You have to help yourself and SEARCH for a start. Happy Hunting.
hehe
No problems, then? Does the HTC Today screen exist in WM6.1? And what about downgrading to WM6 again?
Well, Start Here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600
OK, I'll try... Do you know if it is possible make a backup of the current ROM? Just for security...
you shouldn t try it as a newbie..
if you want your original rom 6.0 back, you should search for a rom for your device (provider, version etc.).
if you want to backup your pim-data you can use pim-backup 2.8.
if you want to upgrade to an official rom you dont get any problems. otherwise read next
if you re not sure what to do, don t do it. read the links above and the polaris-wiki. stay here a while and listen to the actual roms to know bit more about bugs and speed etc.
when you have bit experiences here, you could upgrade (but think about the explained steps).
greets
voxid
Thanks for the advise, voxid
I think I'm gonna stay with WM6 until I see more clear my way...
Sorry guys im not going to finish this rom, the main reasons are i got no time to do so, uni and work take almost all my time and the other one is i lost interest in my blue angel, soon il be buying a touch pro so ive decided not to finish my rom, i apologize if anyone got exited about it but its just that i have lost all interest in making the rom , again sorry for not meting your expectations, and lasty i want to give a BIG thanks to swampy for guiding me into the right direction and providing me the tools for doing so, swampy you got my respect and thanks.

Ok guys ive ported or at least i think i did , the newest 6.5 build to our beloved blue angels..but theres a problem the rom is not booting its stays in the bootloader screen, my guess is that something is wrong in the imageinfo.bin or maybe the rom is to big hence the OS wont boot up(although the output .nbf image is exactly 32mb in size), i need help from senior rom cookers xplode,sun_dream,swampy so please guys if you see this post hit me up with a pm so you can help me figured out whats wrong in my rom.
note: Ive removed lots of things from the original rom like welcome center,IE8,widgets,office and a bunch of other crap that makes the rom heavy, don't worry il release them as cabs
And also i wanna thank bepe for his rom tools, xplode/sun_dream for inspiring me on taking this rom cooking journey ;D
Anyways stay tune guys.
Way to go Rafyvitto!!!!
Is it a true release or just a hex edited (aka fake) release? Reason I am asking is because I have seen a load of new builds in the Raphael forums (all of them within one weeks time)
In either case, I am looking forward to it!

Hi mate Have a look inside your XIP.bin and you'll find a little bit of space were you can put some OEM_Driver files "there's not much but can save you some space in rom image, or use explode or sundream XIP.bin as "base xip" but dump "it" and look inside and then remove the extra files you find from your OEM folder and make use of the ones in XIP.bin

We all want to see you growing up as a ROM developer, our best wishes.
Maybe...
Maybe you need to port the xip with other tool, there must be the mistake... ask personally to xplode i think he uses a different way to port, i mean manually. i have saw a thread with this kind of xplanation but i cant remember where...
Good luck man! nice to see you trying to cook.
Im trying to cook 6.1 on Elfin i did two roms now nothing to be surprised of course i need to know so much more!
I need the official WM6.1 for TG01.... if anyone have it please post here... I not found it anywhere.
please check other post before asking, this has been asked many times before.
it is not possible to flash back to the original stock 6.1 rom. no one as far as i am sure on this forum has this rom.
if you are looking for a 6.1 rom,i highly recommend ffboys clean 6.1 rom, or if you like htc, use his 6.1 sense rom.both are great roms.
