Noob's Flashing question: Is there a way to "backup" your actual ROM??

Hello there,
I'm very excited to try some really nice ROM's I have seen in here, but I'm afraid that some day if I would want to get it back to the "factory" version of my HTC P4351 (that's the model name for our "Herald" here in Brazil) I could not do it.
Anyway, is there a way to Backup my actual ROM before I flash it to another? Also, is there some concern I must have regarding my carrier (not only the network configuration itself, but some "block" that they could have implemented in the device)?
My cell phone carrier is CLARO, if there are other brazilians here who actually had success in flashing, your comments are really appreciated!!
Thanks in advance folks.

Claro Que Si!
Sorry, I had to, but yeah I'm pretty sure you can although I never have. It's called a dump, right guys??? I dunno, someone else will come along and tell you how

I had the same question a few months ago. I was told to use the search function (which turned up nothing).
Good luck!

I found this in Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDAtools
but it looks like it's just for old phones/OS ... Does anyone know how to create an image of the WM6 Pro ?

You can follow ITJE's post regarding on how to build your own rom ... dump your rom, then recook it. I'm not a cook, so I wouldn't know all the details.

Newbie need help

Hi guys,
Today I become the owner of HTC HERO but unfortunatelly with firmware 1.5. Since this is my first android phone I need from somebody little instruction how to upgrade to VillainROM 12 or some others. I didn't have any experience with such upgrades but I had huge experince with upgrading satellite receivers, lcds, so I believe it won't be so complex for me.
Please write me some short instruction or leave MSN via private message to contact you.
Thanks in advance,
...MpegTv...

[Q] [Req] Care to share the original (pre-nodo) unbranded EUR rom

Hi,
I'm trying to downgrade my Trophy so that I can have NODO but jailbroke.
The post with the unbranded Roms is under design for a long time now and it seems to be the only source .
Does any of you care to share a pre-Nodo unbranded EUR working rom?
It'd would be greatly appreciated
Regards

I didn't get much replies on this one so I'll share my experience for those out there willing to do the same.
I found a rom out there just by doing a google search. I could not verify the precedence but at least the nomenclature of the file's name was the right one so I went ahead. I know it was risky but I could not contain myself. I successfully flashed the device using ansar's guidelines. As I expected (hoped actually ) I could unlock and registry hack the device so that it doesn't relock. Then applied the updates including Nodo through the regular way and voilá.
I've just realized that fellow forum member football posted the Rom in question:

Hope that it's of use for somebody else

big help! thanks

Can I install different language/region??

Hi everyone,
Got this phone (Huawei H1611 Ascend XT) for my grandparents a couple of days ago at Walmart for $19 pre-tax, but they need the interface to be in Russian.
Is there a way to do that? Spent a lot of time searching, but couldn't find an answer anywhere.
Localization options are limited on the stock hardware (I'm on build number H1611C07B160). Russian is not on the list. Or am I missing it?
Read that there are different ROMs for different regions ( Russia is C10 or C170). Source: romfirmware dot com (I'm prevented from posting actual links, since I just joined the site).
Anybody have the Russian ROMs, or know of a way to install that language on there? (FYI, I've already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone)
Thanks for your time!

Can't find a stock firmware for my Tab-A I do not need a custom one, the stock bloatwware is Ok.

I found a file online but it says it's for Canada. I found no USA ones at all. Can I use the Canadian one or can someone point me to the USA version? Fwiw the file I found is: SM-T580_T580UEU4CSC1_T580XAC4CSC1_XAC_Canada_8.1.0_4File_(by_firmwarefile.com)
I am not so naive to not understand that the name on the file could be purposely MIS-named to cause havoc. I found nothing on the Sammoblie site or at Samsung itself. This was the best I could do.
I am only thinking of flashing it because the tablet won't allow me to add a second user... the original PW was 17 characters but after the 16th one it won't let me type the last digit in. I don't think this is an FRP thing, but ti's annoying at the very least.
The tablet was purchased new in 2016 I believe, it runs Android 8.1.0 If I omitted pertinent details please advise.
Thanks to all who reply

The ROM for Cellular South is the one for the U.S. Try using Frija.exe with XAR as the region code to get the latest stock ROM.

hi lewmur,
Thanks for the location of the stock ROM, I'd have never found that. Additionally another forum member offered to help me, I appreciate that too.
sadly today I have a lot of physical pain and can't be in front of the monitor too long. Today isn't a good one. I can't even find the way back to my OP... I know it's there somewhere, it's just a matter of me finding it again.
When I feel better I will search for a Tab A forum to thank the other gentleman who replied very quickly as you did.
Best regards to you both and I will let you know how I get on with it.
