Hi guys,
I'm trying to learn how to back up my phones ROM from the WIKI cos I'm a n00b but the guide in there ain't as simple or straightforward as it makes out to be.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078601&postcount=4
Step 4 is wrong or there are some pre-requisites to this guide missing.
Sorry to post new thread but I tried to use the WIKI for what I need and it ain't cutting it.
Can anyone please help me out by updating the WIKI or giving better instructions on how to do this?
Cheers.
So no-one knows how to backup a ROM?
I thought this was the place where HTC experts hang out?
All the steps are correct ... please try again.
No they're not correct ... where are the steps about adding the itsutils.dll to the device? I had to look at another forum (as in different to xda-developers) to find that out, plus step 4 would also make sense if it said "pdocread -l" instead of "itsutils -l".
What is the point of making a WIKI if it aint compatible for n00bs?
Back to the drawing board boys ....

Hey guys you really need to help me on this.
I wanted to update my athena to wm6. Unfortunatly i didnt run the unlocker before and now i can´t even do a hard resest.
But i can go in booloader mode. People adviced me run the unlocker but the athena isent recogniced by the unlocker. So i cant do this either. Except you can say to me what went wrong?
So i think the only thing to rescue my ameo is to get the original tmobile german rom so that i dont get the wrong vender id error.
If somebody of you can supply me with that it would be awesome. If not is there a way to make an installer or backup of the german rom. Because i have a friend who has a working ameo. But he is no geek. So the complex cant be to complex.
Plz help me my ameo is not running for days and i want to use it again.
You're going in the right direction by starting a new thread here. However, people with the skills may not be reading this forum. May I suggest that you post this question also on a forum more likely to be read by people who knows how to do this as well?
I was thinking maybe here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259 since your question is relevant to all phones, not just Ameo.
Also, all the ROM cooks must know. May be PM them will give you better chance of getting help?
There is this very clever guy by the name of dark simpson who started this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311909
I also suggest that you read this thread to get a feel of his area of expertise. I read only a few posts in the thread so far not think he definitely knows a tool that you can use to extract your ROM. Read this thread to see if your question is already answered. Else may be you could PM him to give you pointers on how to solve your problem.
Good luck, and I hope you get it working soon.
thank you that helps i will check the thread.
See the next post
This article is more directly relevant for your problem.
http://www.modaco.com/content/Daily...p-rebuilding-and-restoring-your-SPV-M700-ROM/
He outlined 9 steps there. The first step could be ignored as it deals with installing Olipro's unlocker.
Step 2 to 8 deals with backing up the ROM. Some steps pertains to optimizing the size of the bin file and is not really needed, but I guess there is no harm still. All the tools you need are there too. Step 9 is to flash the WM5 rom created by step 2 to 8.
After that, you could install Olipro's unlocker then flash to PK 3.0.
The author of this thread, Paul, looks like a nice and helpful guy. I suggest that you read his articleon how to back up ROM carefully. It's on a different device,but I think the principle is the same. Once you have understood the step, get him to help you to adapt the procedure for Ameo.
Hope that helps you.

thank you that looks quit complicated, i dont know if i can convice the friend to install a lot of apps on his device, he is more like a bussines partner but perhaps i find somebody on the net, who will do it for me and i can supply them with the guide.
What do you think in which forum im most likly to find somebody with the original german tmobile rom?
If you read the link carefully, you'll see that there is no need to install anything on your friend's unit. It will only do a read. Not write involved. Anyway, the most likely forum where people have that ROM is here.
Anyone still on Tmobile WM5 (german) able to help?
hey i carefully read the thread and even i don´t understand it fully. Its not that easy to do. I don´t think he can do it. This is procedure for experts. Anybody must have the original rom here.
ok thanks for your help. I found the solution in a german forum. For everybody needing the german rom go to http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?p=964813#post964813

hello all,
so after several attemps to unbrick my Dopod 858 with no luck, my only oppertunity now would be to create a gold card. The thing that gets me is you cant do this unless you have a working WM....! If I did then I guess I would not need to unbrick my dopod and use that instead!!! I would really appreciate if anyone has a solution for me on how to create a gold card without a working WM. If not anyone in Germany near Hamburg who can help
I originally updated my Dopod through links on this website(Juststable v2), I followed all the instructions correctly and everything worked fine until my battery died !
Now only 4 colour screen ispl/spl 1.09.0001.
Anybody actuall thrown a dopod? if so how far?
Did you try to charge batt again to full and begin again the process ?
Then, try again to flash from SD card, it usually works.
1. Do not use HardSPL on the lower SPL's.
2. This is not the correct place to post this. This is the Development forum. This is not a development post. Moved.
3. There is another way. It requires Linux. Search for "Dream Goldcard". Just make sure you make a Herald goldcard when following the instructions.
Is this getting personal ?!!
I am trying for help but the second time my post is in the wrong place!!
if i read the heading correctly, the forum i originally posted is"Herald ROM development " with the sub info"This forum is only meant fro ROM issues and ROM development".
Therfore I guess I have a problem with installing my ROM hence I posted it there.
Moderators may be there to help and I fully understand that "old" members may rip out hairs finding things.
But ultimately we are all here to help each other, so Ivanmmj do please explain what my WM issue is or extend your forum explanations. it's not rocket science.
Thankyou

Don't take it the wrong way, it is not personal. The sub is a little misleading. It's meant to be to report issues within their particular ROM threads, not creating separate threads. I'm fully aware that we need an overhaul of the titles and descriptions. I'm working on that. (It's not something that Mods can change.) As it stands, the reason why it's so hard to search for answers is because no one ever posted things in the correct place, making it very hard to search in a particular area.
As far as you feeling that I didn't help you, I did help you. And when that didn't work, I told you what to search to make it work. The only other kind of help I could give you is to search FOR you. No one is going to have the links already ready to paste into this thread. Ultimately, the way a lot of questions get answered is by someone else doing the searching and answering the original poster.
Note: The main thread in XDA that showed you how to hardSPL warned you against using it on a phone that had an SPL lower than 4.0. Unfortunately, many of the threads that have appeared after (usually created by someone asking for directions) does not include this warning.
Thankyou
hello Ivanmmj,
thankyou for your response, its good to see we can all talk at the same level, I appreciate your honesty.
FYI I never doubted your help in any way or form. just a little frustrated with the thread movements, I am sure you can understand I have been trying for a solution quite a while now.
best regards
Greetings & Salutations,
I want to update my current WM6.1 professional to WM6.5!
I am very eager to work in WM6.5 environment.
After reading a tonnes of thread around at XDA I am even more confused.
And being a NEWBIE have added the ice on the cake.
Any Master out there who can help me out?
Please I want a procedure to updated my WM!
step 1:
search topics about USPL. u need to do that first to prepare your phone for custom 6.5 roms
step 2:
pick a 6.5 rom of your choice and flash your Artemis
be sure to follow exact steps as described in the topics if else your phone will be "bricked"
hi,
In my opinion 6.1 is more suitable for processor 201Mhz. But you can try shady 313 ROM.

One question...
How to choice the best ROM when you are new in this?
the first question is valid, it's needed a step by step for dummies, reading the whole forum is way complicated for normal people.
I understand your confusion. We all had to go through the first phase of reading up. None of us instantly knew what to do and which ROM was the best. Just try and find out, that's all I can give you.
...
click the link in my signature for
UPLOADS FOR P3300
there is an upload here for uspl 1.1.cmon (its labled wrong i know but cba to change it)
download it..
there i have supplied a dummies guide inside..
1 thing though..
i have wrote to do a soft reset IGNORE that..
(dont reset.. just be patient and it will work)
there is some cabs worth downloading there too.. i suggest you do..
Rn
...
as for recomended roms..

babbelut rom is the BEST 6.5 rom
andrew82 is the BEST 6.1 rom

hello guys any buddy help me..................for this situation plz plz plz
Hi there,
According to the diagnosis list of error codes (found here), Error 244 means the following:
You have used the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade. This can also be caused by a mismatch between the CID of the rom you trying to flash and your device.
Please follow this guide and read it carefully before attempting again.
Thank You very much boss..........for giving me such a important time,
but, my SPL-1.14.0liNex
so how can i handle it.
How can i changed to 1.56.OliNex..............
AND...
also suggest me a perfect Rom for my Device....
Read , re-read and read again all info in the stickies and wiki. It tells you everything you need to know. There are no short cuts to getting it right.
As for which rom to flash, try them all and make up your own mind which is "best",

That's no problem matey, its a pleasure to help.
As mentioned by Stuntdouble, carefully read through the guide (link for it posted above). All the information you need to unlock your phone using the Hard-SPL or USPL method is explained in great detail.
If you have real trouble following the guide posted above, then see this guide as it tells you how to unlock and flash a custom ROM onto your phone, step-by-step.
To give you a better idea on what ROM to choose I think it's always a good idea to first find out what one looks for in a ROM (i.e. speed, performance, reliability, etc). Click this link for more information one the latest builds, it will help to make your decision easier friend.
If you have any more related questions, all you need to do is post here again.
Best Regards.
thank you both of u guys...................ur job is just awsome...... i will recover the problem...............
Again thank u so much..

Solution found, thread closed
In future try reading the stickies
Well, it's all in the title and I'm sure it has been asked but I'd like it to be more HD2-specific.
Can someone point me to a blog, xda thread or wiki that explains how to cook your own CM rom ? HD2 related or something that would do.
I know a lot of threads that tells you where to start and what to do...but not much explaining the process all the way through, in order to understand it.
Any help on this ?
Thanks !
Well nothing ?
its been less than 24 hours
google is problem your best option or sending a message to one of the actual devs and waiting for a reply
Yeah I already contacted one...
Don't get me wrong: I've done some research but it's hard to encounter a step-by-step guide or a real bible.
Thanks.
yeah it is difficult to find the info, there are kitchens available but they dont really give you information on how to write the scripts etc which i think comes down to just having the knowledge of where to start and what to look for to modify/hack
Exactly. Wiki's tend to tell you "type this in terminal" but why I should do it, that they don't say. Of course, they can't explain every specitif command but at least the ones really related to the cooking rom process...
