Origignal German Tmobile rom needed or way to backup it.

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.

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

[Q] Guide for Installing Custom ROMS

Hi,
I have run a guide on the ZTE Blade on MoDaCo right from the initial launch of the device.
The guide at MoDaCo (I can't link because I am too new on this forum) is designed for new users to understand how to get started with custom roms and is also supposed to keep all users up-to date with the new ROMS and changes to existing ROMS.
The Question I have - I know that XDA is a big community and I believe that users would benefit from having access to my guide; should I Link to my guide from a thread here - or Keep a Duplicate thread in this forum?
Here is a non click-able link
android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319831/25-dec-installing-the-modaco-custom-rom-from-scratch-and-other-roms/

It's a great guide, I read it a week ago or so when browsing for information on the ZTE Blade and it's modding capabilities and status of current custom ROMs. As an Ubuntu user I especially like the Linux specific step-by-steps
Would love to see it in "XDA markup", meaning "ported" to this forum since it would be easier to follow when you're used to this forum's style. Although, it's very easy to follow due to being well written and constructed, so you'd have to weigh that against the pain keeping two versions in sync.
Dunno what forum policy is regarding just linking to another site/forum, but I think this guide should be sticky somewhere on XDA. It would definitely keep down the numbers of questions and new threads

is there a similar guide please

Hi there just got my new SGS 2 from Vodaphone ( an early upgrade ) on my SGS I follwed this guide to root and install a custom rom to it.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556 .
I've had a look round and was wondering if there is a similar guide for the SGS 2 ie one that is in plain english for pepole who are stressed already lol so i can install a custom SGS 2 rom on to my SGS 2.
Thanks in advance...and to the flamers yes i did try to search

A similar guide for the SGS II to installing an SGS ROM onto it?
Step away for a while, decide what you're wanting to accomplish, then come back.
If after that you decide you just need root, [16/Nov][ROOTING/UNROOTING] Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) is all you need.
If you need something else, please, please, please read before you do something stupid, like using anything at all designed for the SGS on your SGS II.

HI there I have edited my OP.
I want to install a custom SGS 2 ROM on my SGS 2.

What custom ROM? Find the ROM you want to install, confirm it's definitely designed for the same model number phone as yours, and follow the instructions in its thread.

I was thinking about using darky rom this time round but the flashing routine looks more complicated....I was looking for a guide similar to the one in the post i linked to.

I used this guide to root my phone
before you do all of this go to your contacts and export/copy them to your sd card., so when you load a new rom on you can import them all back again if needed.
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2/
and to do a clockwork mod and back up of the standard rooted rom.
its a good idea to get titanium app to back up all of your info/apps.
once all of this is done, you can chose a different rom if you want to use one, then follow the user guide for the rom, as from what i have read, they sometimes can be different way to get them onto the phone.
hope this helps

You find a 40 step guide easier than a 6 step guide? Okay.
Well, if you've decided on the ROM you want to install, why not read through the thread and see if others found it difficult too and made it a 40 step process as well. If they didn't, and that's the ROM you want, post your question there.

lol the 40 step guide seemed easier tbh as every step was there and made reading and re reading before i did anything easier.
Im old and stoopid ....well thats my excuse and im sticking to it

Advice & Links for New Users

To all XDA Developers,
I would like to suggest that:
At the first line on every first post on new Development ROM, that is the start of a new post for any New Development ROM (alpha, beta, etc), which is still undergoing test and development,... can you put an advice targeted to new user, who are unfamiliar with this site. Put up an advice there where they should start off. Something that is like these, example for DS5 ROM:
To New Users who own Dell Streak 5, please go this page/post to get you started with familiarizing yourself with flashing new ROM, and finding stable stock and custom ROM for your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=695
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
and add probably other pages that might be useful for any eager new users to start reading properly before acting on impulse doing somethings that they are not be doing, unfamiliar and no knowledgeable of. Well, something like that. Would it be helpful to do so?
I actually stumble onto this page after viewing some Youtube clips on upgrade done on DS5, searching on Google and I somehow end up on xda-developers page. I was struggling to find a starting point, what to do first... I read endlessly and jumping onto different forums, sometimes ending up on different device forums (ugh, that's kinda stupid of me, :silly: )... until I discover somehow some pages that would be somewhat my starting points. Perhaps this suggestion might be useful.
Secondly, I found out that, for DS5, I can go to these page to get info on DS5, with stock roms and custom roms:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs
But, is there such page as well, similar to that, that list out all the Development ROMs ?
Thanks.

open xda via pc there you can find whole list of completed roms with respective recovery and base files
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium

There is no list of custom ROMs such as what you find in the wiki with the stock ROMs.
As to the idea presented, it's redundant as there are pinned posts in these forums which cover the same material. You should be reading those posts instead of trying to force developers or chefs to provide a link to the material on every ROM.

**Any help please for acer A500 with rooting ICS 4.0.3 (total n00b)**

Hi all,i was a member of XDA (rejoined now + tegra owners) and MIUI forums a few years back but forgot how to do everything with android (bloody drink):silly:
Anyroad, got an old Iconia A500 (ICS 4.0.3)
I've downloaded mighty Thors : (tegra owners)
CM12.1-Tegraowners_ROM_v7t1
gapps-5.0.2_a50x_TO
update-recovery-TWRP-rev2.0-beta4
trouble is i haven't the foggiest what to do next?
I know i need to root it (how?) i think i used kingroot on my Xiaomi note 2...would this work here?
I've tried Blackthund3rs root program and it infected me with chinese malware which took nearly a day to get shot from my computer (i wasnt happy)
I've also tried the 'easy method' on here..and it came up unsuccessful
I could do with laymans terms the procedure to root and everything else..
A step by step guide would be fantastic for divvies like me :cyclops:
(from tegra owners forum)
"If you have problems, start a new thread on your own, we will help you. It would be nice if you could take notes of all the steps you did and PM me those, I would like to write a tutorial since lot of people are asking."

Another A500 user
I'm another A500 user in the same spot. Wireless stopped working properly and don't have an update to fix it since they stopped supporting after 4.0.3. That's what I have on mine currently. So I'd also like to know how to root it if possible and move past these problems! I've rooted another tablet before, and I know it's a very specific process of copying files and rebooting etc. But never done it on this Acer A500 and would like to keep it. Still runs great except no internet now. Some sort of common glitch, but I can't find any patches to fix it!
