Save my actual ROM

Hi,
I'd like to try to make my own rom with mkrom, but first I'd like to know if there is a way to get/extract my actual rom from my XDA before (I have the french one from Bouygues and as no french rom is available I'd like to keep it) ?
Thanks

backing up your rom
i think you can boot your device in bootloader mode by pressing reset and the power button at the same time.
when your device is in bootloader mode press the contact button then you get the flash tools.
there choose ce rom to sd - ( you have to have an empty sd card inserted )
press the action button to confirm and your rom is being saved to the sd-card..
to restore this you have to insert this card and boot your device in bootloader mode - it recognizes the rom backup on the sd card then and asks you if you want to download it from the card..
best regards

Ok in fact I did that thing when I put Linux on a Ipaq but I didn't know you can boot the XDA in bootloader. I try and it works well.
Now I can play with the mkrom
Thank you

Another question. I read on this site about the wallaby bootloader but I'm not sure. If I do a CE+BOOT on SD, do I save all ? (I mean Wince (RUU ?) and GSM (RSU?) part )
If I use this option, flash my XDA then decide to restore what I had on my SD card (CE+BOOT) I retrieve all (GSM Wince ...) ?

Hi
Could you send me a copy of your french rom ?
Best regards
:wink: [email protected]_nospam

When I put linux on the Ipaq, I installed a bootldr (it was running under wince) and get the CE rom file (wince_image.gz) that I could copy on my PC.
On the XDA I tried CE+Boot on SD card, but when I restart, my XDA wants to format my SD-card. Of course if I bootlaod it detects that my SD-card has a ROM and ask me if I want to install it.
I don't know how extract the rom file(s) from the SDcard to copy it somewhere else ?
Does someone can answer my previous question : If I do a CE+BOOT on SD, do I save all ? (I mean Wince part (RUU ?) and GSM (RSU?) part )
If I use this option, flash my XDA then decide to restore what I had on my SD card (CE+BOOT) I retrieve all (GSM Wince ...) ?

For one question the answer was on the site oops:I ask before read it sorry)
So to retrieve the rom from the SD : http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/
I didn't find, yet :roll:, if save CE+boot will allow me to save all features of my actual XDA state ... to be continued

Yes, CE+boot represents the entire state of the flash. It does not include the RAM filesystem, but will get you the same cold-booted device back.

Excellent ! I wait my PC adaptater for SD card to save my rom and I will play with mkrom
Optionnal details : if the CE+boot represents the entire state of the flash, what is the GSM rom ?
Regards.

Well, I guess the 32MB isn't the complete state, you're right... The GSM ROM is 4MB of flash which is completely separate from the 32 MB of OS ROM. You can play with 'mkrom' all you want and not screw up your GSM ROM, so it'd not that relevant here.

Yes, the main goal to flash my XDA is the "always on GPRS". And I suppose that I only have to update the CE part and not the GSM part.
To be sure I ask Bouygue if I could play with my XDA, by flashing it, and in case of something bad happens, send it back to restore it and they say yes ...
So as soon as I receive my PC adaptater I'll try to save CE rom, GSM rom ... and try different ways to see ... with many precautions of course

yes i tried it.. "checking sd card" then again goes to bootloader mode.. tricolor..

Make sure that your SD card is formatted in FAT32....
Also that your .nbh file is renamed and place it on the root of your SD card.
Maybe this will succeed

Help with instaling new ROMs

Hello I have an HTC tytn (hermes200) and its on sweedish lang I would like it to instal a new rom to bo on english. I instaled SIM and CID unlocker and it works fine. But when I trie to instal a rom like CRC r13.5 it disconects my phone from the computer, I use an USB conection via ActiveSync. That conection works fine when I transfer files or something else and the only time it disconects is when I trie to instal the new ROM, please help I tried everything and btw I dont have a SD card my curent OS is Win 6.0 Pro but I dont understand a word of the lang heh, but the phone is so cool and I just cant give it away.
Please help guys..... Sorry for my english...!!!
btw I instaled Hard SPL v7 and SIM and CID unloacker without any problems, the only problem is instaling the ROM...!!!

re-installHard SPL V3 if you installed before the sim/cid unlocker.
Use the sd card method to install a new rom... Just make sure you have a 2Gb sd card or less and its formatted FAT32(they are default FAT).
copy the .nbh file of the rom you want on to it and rename to hermimg.nbh. insert into hermes, reset into bootloader(tri-colour screen) and follow the prompts. If you did it right then you now have a new os on your Hermes.
Depending on the os on your pc it could be a few different things...
If you're using XP then upgrade the .net framework to 3.5.
Vista and 7 I can't say...

Ok thx I will trie to flash from the SD card I hope it works...

This may help..
