Backup HD2 ROM - HD2 General

Where could I find some instructions/tools to back up my T-mobile HD2 ROM?
I need to back up it before updating the newest one.

or you could just use one of the stock roms in teh tmous stock roms thread as your backup....
dumping a rom and rebuilding it into a bootable format is not easy, and would require hspl to be loaded. (Your phone wouldn't see it as genuine) whereas the ones in the official roms thread will be seen as genuine by your phone, making them easier to install should all go wrong.
(You would need to use one of the stock roms as a base to rebuild your dump anyway, lol, so may as well just use the stock. )

I think you missed the question completely. I think he's asking about a way to backup all your ROM settings before flashing another one since every time you flash you're forced into a factory reset and it's a pain to get everything back.
I'm interested too for the above reasons.

Never mind.

any other way to flash the official rom beside the way you show me before, actually i bought from 2nd hands, not me flash the hero. so maybe you can help me the easiest way...sorry to bother.
If you really want the easiest way, download and install the official RUU from HTCs website. However, this will make it harder for you to apply a custom ROM in the future.

If that's really what you want:
Make sure you have the usb drivers installed on your PC. Easiest way is probably to install HTC Sync, following HTC's instructions, assuming you don't have it set up already. Then just connect your phone to your PC via USB, download the RUU which will be an executable & double click on it. Can't get much simpler than that

This thread is not for the SPRINT HERO,.... This is for the GSM HTC HERO,.... You could seriously damage your phone using these instructions.
You need to start in the CDMA section.

Noob question...what is the deal with the ROMS?

ok, totally new to the HD2 thing, and the ROM thing. i am a former blackberry guy, so i was always nuking and loading on new OS's, and i'm sure once i get the hang of this, it'll makde sense. i've seen the guide on how to do it, but what is the benefit of different ROMS? is that like a modded version of the OS to play with? can you restore all your contact/calendar info to it once your done?
sorry about the "noob-ness" of this question, but once you tell me, i'll run with it
thanks
Yes a ROM is basically a users take on what they would like the original OS to look/perform like. We also get updated packages from Microsoft thanks to some great people on these forums that keep us on the cutting edge of what's going on.
Basically, you unlock you phone and can flash ROM's whenever you want. You can always back up all your data and restore it all after a flash. You can also re-flash back to the original stock ROM your phone came with and restore the same info and never touch it again. Your prerogative.

lol, I'm in the same boat! This is my first steps into the realm of WinMo. I've successfully loaded the Energy rom (pretty sweet too!) and just loaded the Kumar Rom last night. I really like the Kumar, it looks pretty close to stock and is really fast (plus I think I'm getting way better battery life with it).
The guide at the top of the page does a great job at explaining how to flash a rom imo, Except when it comes to backing up the data.
I (and you as well) would definitely benefit from a "Hand Holding" through backing up all the data and using sashimi or xda_uc to restore it.
I've tried both and I still don't quite get it. I just want to be able to restore my email accounts, my quick launch links, install the programs I want, and setup my facebook. I really wanna try Miri, it looks great! But I want to back up everything first.
Where are some good backing up step by step tutorials? So I don't skip/forget anything?
Thanks!
p.s. sorry if I hijacked your thread. I think you'll benefit from it greatly thou
I'm also gonna have to jump on the bandwagon and say I need my hand held.
I thought I was pretty technical but apparently not enough. ^^;;
Thanks for any help provided! =D
Actually found the installation process to be extremely easy. =D Just follow the instructions, the onboard menus will explain the rest.

ok, but here is my thing. i just looked at dutty's, and it doesn't look any different from the stock. am i missing something?
That's the point, it is very close to stock. The performance is much better than stock though. You'll notice the more crap people start dumping in ROM's the worse they work. That's why i suggest using one that is close to stock so you don't have to worry about trouble shooting problems.
Ryan and Joe,
The instructions are pretty easy, but its the concept that bugged me at first. Keep this in mind and maybe it'll help you:
1) Our phones have the Firmware (OS) locked out so we can't load our own custom one. Therefore, we have to flash the HSPL to allow custom firmwares (ROMS). Once you flash the HSPL, you should be good to go with trying out all the compatible ROMS.
2) When you decided on a ROM (Energy for me), download the version you want. NRG has two versions with multiple variants of those versions. (I chose 23549 Cookie). Download that. There will be two files, one is an exe.
3) Whether you are flashing your HSPL or a ROM, ActiveSync MUST SEE YOUR PHONE. If it doesn't or if you have problems, try different USB ports. I know I had issues when using a hub.
4) Your phone's data will be wiped each time you flash. There are some alternatives (like putting cabs in the UC folder or using Sashimi).
PM me if you need some hand-holding. I don't mind. Everybody needs to start somewhere.
ok, well i did the first step fairly easy. now i'll explore flashing a new rom, and see how that goes....
here goes nothin
so is there any software or tutorial on backing up the phone's data ( like contacts,messages,..etc) before flashing any ROMs?
and if there is one...then how do i use it after flashing the ROMs?
If you're just worried about contacts/calender/texts then use Microsoft Myphone. Just download the program, sign in, and sync what you want. Then after you flash you install the program, sign in, and sync your info right back.
Hit me on gtalk...school's in session. It's easier than it looks JB. I'll help you if you havin' trouble. YEEEE!!
PLEASE MAKE SURE the ROM you're flashing is compatible with the US 1024MB version of the HD2!!
Also, some radio ROMs can brick your device if you don't use the correct version, so I suggest noobs don't flash their radio versions.
Some ROMs come with a RADIO flash and some don't (most don't) so make sure you read the ROM description carefully to MAKE SURE it explicitedly says it's compatible with the U.S. version of the HD2 - and if it doesn't.. DON'T FLASH, don't take the risk.

[Q] Return to Stock Settings

I have a BELL Desire Z which I rooted, S-Off and then flashed with the HTC Sense ROM from Paul O'brien. I am having more issues than anything so I want to know how I get back to the stock ROM.
I take it you dont have a nandroid backup? You could try that RUU method, it usually restores your self back to stock. I have my stock nandroid iimage lying around if ya need it.
Sent from HTC Desire Z using XDA App
The bell rom posted is .1, not the .5 version that's shipped.. so I don't think it's the same. So the RUU method wouldn't work..
I did a backup, but will it reset all my personal settings etc?
Is there a stock released ROM from HTC or bell or even an update on the way?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Be careful ! Do not try to flash an RUU that is older than the ROM you have, if you have S-OFF or you could end up bricking your phone - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
You can use the "debranding" guide in the dev forum to go back to an older ROM if you have S-OFF.
In about it says the software is 1.34.405.5
What do I need to do exactly to get back to stock safely.

If your current ROM is 1.34.405.5, then you should be able to safely use either the stock 1.34.405.5 RUU, or the ROM extracted from that.
It's if you're trying to flash a ROM with a lower version number than that you're already running, if you're S-OFF, that you'll run into problems.
Thanks for the info, is there anywhere to download the stock Bell ROM from? Alot of these threads are confusing for a n00b like myself with all the abbreviations and different versions.
I basically want to get back to stock, root the phone, delete the bloatware and overclock it.
I was wondering... if you made a nandroid backup after having done some app installations and such of the stock rom, and you flashed back to that backup, you'd have your original ROM with all the app installations and settings you set right? What happens if you then proceed to do a factory reset? Does the ROM revert back to stock? Or does it simply revert back to the state of the ROM when you made the backup?

Although several stock ROMs are on this forum, unfortunately it looks like the current Bell ROM isn't there, only an older one. It would obviously be very useful if someone could get hold of it and upload it.
You can do a factory reset to set everything back to how your ROM came initially, if it's still on the stock ROM. But if you want to delete the bloatware and overclock etc, you may well be better flashing a different ROM, have a look and see what ones sound good.
My question is sort of along the line of that of the OP, since I'm somewhat new to this process still I hope you'll humor me. I've done a ton of reading, but I still have a few q's I couldn't seem to find buried in my research...
I have a Bell Desire Z, unlocked, rooted, S-OFF. I installed ClockWork & flashed the recovery partition and did a nandroid backup of my stock Bell partition. I then did a wipe / install of the non-sense G2 ROM Paul put out and have been using it (and enjoying it) quite a bit.
I think I'd like to try a Cyanogen ROM now, is it really just as simple as flashing the RC3 (doing a complete wipe, obviously) and then I'm good to go? I can then just restore apps/settings with Titanium...
If I want to revert back to my original Bell ROM, do I just restore that ROM from the nandroid backup I made as soon as I installed ClockWork?
If I'm on Pauls G2 Rom (or Cyanogen's ROM), and I do a 'factory wipe', that just resets the factory settings of that particular ROM right? It wouldn't take me back to the stock Bell ROM would it? (very sorry if this seems noobish)
Thanks folks.
Anyone?

Yes, you can wipe and flash Cyanogen. Yes, you can restore apps with Titanium. However, I don't yet understand how this works with "system"-type apps. e.g. what if you are using a different SMS app in Cyanogen to the stock ROM, can you restore your messages ? Of course if you are restoring an app that you installed on your stock ROM, to the Cyanogen ROM then Titanium should do it fine.

Yes, it just takes you back to the factory settings for that ROM that you're currently on. It won't take you back to the original ROM that came with your phone if you've switched to something else.

You're welcome. I was pretty confused by what Titanium did at first, until I actually came to use it (along with a Nandroid backup) to do a backup of all my stuff and restore (using Nandroid) after I'd temporarily reverted to an earlier ROM.
I need to revert back to the stock Bell Desire Z ROM as well but didn't make a backup.

[Q] Nandroid backup and backup Rom deleted

I connected my phone to my PC to put a song on it. i decided to delete some other songs, but I guess I accidentally deleted the folder that had my nanrdoid and stock Rom(rooted) backup in it. Am I screwed, or is there a way for me to get these back, at least the stock rom backup. If I had that, I could at least do a nandroid backup again.
Was it off your computer? did you send it to the recycling bin? Go find the free program called "FREEUNDELETE" without the quotes and it will be able to help you. I've used that program on multiple occasions to recover "deleted" files. I hope it works for you as well.
No it wasn't in my recycle bin. But I'll try that FreeUndelete thing.
Edit: I tried using that, but it didn't find my backup or any of the other things I deleted. Is there any other way I can get it or download another stock Rom from on here?
Sorry to hear that..

Thanks for that. That should be quite helpful later. But what I want is, on Rom Manager, before flashing a new rom, it asks if you want to back up existing rom. Does anyone have a backup of the standard rom, but rooted. Say you just got the phone, didn't install anything extra on it, but rooted it.

No, that warning is for official shipping ROMs (flashed as PC10IMG.zip in the bootloader) or for RUUs (basically the same thing but flashed from Windows). More specifically, the warning is for flashing a different RUU than your current device (e.g., flashing a completely stock Desire Z ROM onto a G2).
You can treat the pre-rooted stock ROM like any other custom ROM though (just flash it in recovery).
So if I downloaded the file in this thread to my SD card, then I could just flash it like any other rom using rom manager?

I think that is answered in the ROMs thread somewhere, but basically odex is the same as the stock ROM (when APKs are odex'ed, they undergo the equivalent of an optimization to save space and maybe load faster on the initial creation of the dalvik cache). One of the benefits of the de-odexed ROM though is that you can easily modify/theme the APKs. For example, many people theme the status bar icons or modify the battery icon so it displays the percentage. This can only be done on a de-odex'ed ROM (trying to do it to an odex ROM would result in a boot loop).

Stock gingerbread or rooted gingerbread?

Well, I'm kind of at a crossroads here. I'm running an unrooted 2.2, but since I deleted a few bloats I'm unable to go to Gingerbread over the air. On one hand I can re-add the apks back to my phone and go to the official 2.3.4 or I can root and use a 2.3.4 rom. My question is, which is the easiest to do and are there any drawbacks of having the rooted version of gingerbread? Meaning, does the OTA version have any additional features that I'll lose with the rooted one (updated radio, etc?). Thanks for the time and help everyone on here puts!
Most people here will lean towards telling you to root. There's no downside to rooting, only upsides. You can ALWAYS unroot and return to stock if you need to return the phone for warranty replacement.
I'd say just root. You can install a perfectly stock pre-rooted OTA build if you like the stock look-and-feel (its perfectly stock, just rooted), but at the same time you can always install other ROMs to try out as well.
And either way you get all the bonuses of root, such as ad-blockers, backup apps, etc..
As far as radios, you can flash any radio you'd like. I'd recommend just flashing the recommended T-mous 2.3 OTA radio, which is 26.08.04.30 I believe.

Yes, you really need to wipe data/factory reset before flashing this ROM. You can use an app like 'Titanium Backup' to back up all of your apps+data to your SD card, then restore them to the new ROM. DO NOT backup/restore system data though.
Also, its always a great idea to do a nandroid (ROM manager) backup of your current ROM before wiping/flashing the new one

Its not required, but its usually recommended to flash the radio intended for the ROM you're using. You can find a list of radios and the ROMs they're associated with in the dev section. I recommend installing them via the PC10IMG.zip in the bootloader.

2 weeks ago I had to send my phone in under warranty. They told me to back up my data as HTC would restore (Thank God I didnt listen to them). Anyways, I received my phone yesterday with a replaced main board. My phone wasn't previously rooted and I had already did the OTA etc so couldn't root. I notice they updated me to 2.3.3 stock. Before I do anything this time around I would like to root my phone before putting data back. Is it as simple as following these steps? Im on Bells network. Also where is it I find the radio version??

Yours will be a bit different. Since you're already on 2.3, you'll have to downgrade in order to root. There are some guides being created currently that you can follow. its been discussed in a few threads lately.

So do I need to wait for them to be finished or do they exist? I thought I saw something but dont see it anymore.

These guides are finished, but I'm not sure how proven they are.
