How to backup original ROM?

Hi.
I am currently own a Samsung Omnia and I am planning to flash with custom Win6.5 ROM.
Before I do that I would like to backup my original ROM just in case anything happen I able to revert back as what I had right now.
My questions:
1) Is there any ROM Dump application available to do so for my original ROM backup?
2) Edit: There is NO better ROM. You need to test and read the feedback and decide for yourself
I know my questions are somewhere in the forum but there are thousands of them I hope someone kind enough to help me over here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ameet,
Thanks for editing my thread.
I am not expert like u which I able to identify which custom rom is stable or good for my phone by reading through thousands of thread over the forum. To me, all look the same and I do not know where to start. I know there is not prefect ROM available for every phone or everyone but I do highlighted as I am using Samsung Omnia and I hope someone using the same phone as me able to advise me that this ROM is much better or that ROM is for HTC and so on.
This is the reason i post this thread as I need help from someone expert like u to guide ppl like me, maybe you can just highlight a keywords that I need to search.
I thought the main reason of this forum to guide newbie for better understand on their phone or applications and has fun with it.
I am sorry if I duplicated this thread with same questions somewhere in the forum.

If you want to flash a rom, read this guide. As for which rom is best for, everyone has different tastes, you have lite roms, and full roms (lots of apps included), then you have wm6.1 or wm6.5 as well as different versions of manila. Best advice would be scan first post of each thread and see which appeals to you then try a few out and make your own conclusion
Any future help on flashing should be posted in guide thread
Plenty of people have asked same question and get same result. Research, read & trial.
Can I also remind you to read the forum rules before creating new thread.

Gold Card Question

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

[Q] hi any help please ?

hi every body
im new here and i found this site very useful thanx to you developers !
i have htc touch hd from orange /uk with wm6.1 and after 1 year using it i want to upgrade the rom to the newer wm 6.5
i cant do it from the htc.com web site
so can any body help me with that ? there is so many pages in this forum so i couldnt find what the best is.
many thanks ..
btw : im not professional with installing rom, so i prefer easy way to do it with usb and computer !
A'laa

im looking for rom not very modified ...i need all the original programs come with htc hd rom 6.1 like remote desktop and gps and games..facebook, youtube... ext
thx

since this has nothing to do with development i will have to report this thread to our beloved mod Fallen Spartan
but when you already asked you can learn everything you need to know here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
and you can find a nice rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
(i use that one and it is faster than 6.1 so start with it,although it is a bit old it is still far better than the others IMO....but hey if you survived with stock 6.1 rom for over a year....then you won't bother with this one being released on 17. November 2010.)
almost all new roms are "1.56" so read the guide for 1.56 roms, if you use anything else your screen will look cyan and all messed up,but don't worry you can prevent it by reading or cure it by flashing the device properly with corresponding uspl/hspl (1.56 in most cases)
you don't need to bother with understanding this above right now,when you rad the guide it will be crystal clear to you
uspl unlocks the device for just one flash
hspl unlocks it forever
if your device is still under warranty i advise you to go for uspl since you won't have to flash SPL (let's say "put the lock back on") to send it for repair (flashing cooked roms voids warranty)
read,learn and search before asking something again (i am 100% sure that all questions you might ask are already answered somewhere in the forums,and if you know how to use search you can find all the answers...if not click one of links in my signature) and if everything fails,ask your question in dedicated thread such as Q&A thread in general htc hd subforum or in the tutorial thread i pointed in first part of the post
and welcome to xda-devs

Think farukb answered your queries very nicely. The rom development forum is for rom development only. All queries should be posted in General forum
The dummies guide thread near top of this forum is a step-by-step guide on how to flash roms. Post all flashing queries in that thread
As for which rom to use, try a few and make your own educated opinion afterwards
Thread moved to correct forum and closed
Sent from a little black thing with flashy lights....oooh its a phone!!!

[DISCUSSION] CM 12.1 Meizu M2 Note

Hello guys, I have created this thread to discuss about the CM12.1 by @Moyster, so we don't flood the thread's ROM with useless messages regard our problem with the devices, and leaves that only for developer things
I hope to have done a good move by opening this thread. If there are some problems, if I done something wrong, sorry in advance.

I don't think it was really necessary but it's up to you
The rom thread is not a "dev-only" thread (or I would've restrained who can post, there's options for that at least) but most of the users are simply new or didn't read the rules, and therefore simply come in the thread and ask "what about this ?" when there's already 45 pages and a Search Feature, for example to find infos about the battery consumption.
If people don't take the time to understand that, it will forever continue, hence it's still better to keep the discussions on topic because I don't especially have time to read a dozen threads to have returns about my rom.
Regarding bug issues, recurrent problems and things like that, I already made it clear on the rom thread HOW TO SUBMIT BUG ISSUES, but obviously that's the same as my previous paragraphe
This thread would be way more useful if it was a summary of all tips and tricks for the device / rom, a clean formatted post that links to "how to volume speaker", "how to wipe", etc...
Greetings

Ok, I understand your opinion, but I haven't time to mantain a thread like the one you adviced. I created this thread to group all users so that they help with each other.
So, it's better if this thread is deleted and recreated the one you mentioned by someone.
And thank you for your work!

As I think this thread might be useful for those noobs on Android And thank you again for your hard work @Moyster
By the way, seems Audio FX has crashes some times on my device. And I may to tell you that the baseband for international version of m571 might be different from those in China, for we're using TD-SCDMA network for 3G on CMCC(China Mobile). Someone recently tested a MIUI8 rom on 4pda and met the problem on baseband. And what's this for? http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/meizu-m2-note
And it seems m2 note is the only Meizu device (except meizu m2 mini) which has truly unlocked bootloader. And if anyone needs factory firmware or original Flyme firmware for SP Flash Tool ,I can offer that.

You could try to replace the firmware files and if that works for you, make a flashable zip for other chinese users maybe ?
