Can somebody please give me very explicit instructions on how to save my current ROM to either a 512MB SD card or a file on my PC.
I would like to try different ROMS but cannot afford to permanently break anything.
I have tried XDA tools but cannot get it to write the image to either my hard disk or the SD card. Do I need to format the SD card to be a bootable card first? Do I need to use a special filename in XDA tools?
Should I be able to save the ROM to SD from bootloader mode - if so how, and again do I have to format the SD card in a special way first?
Finally having got a ROM image how can I check that I can recover before blowing all I have away?
Apologies for asking dumb questions but I am getting nervous in my old age.
My current setup is an O2 XDA2
Rom Ver 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date 12/03/03
Radio Ver. 1.10.00
Protocol Ver. 1337.18
ExtROM Ver. 1.60.50
Both the upgrade rom and the launch rom are available on the O2 site.

Thanks.

Why not go the easy way and use a backup manager like sunnysoft backupmanager or sprite backup.
That way you can just use the gui and save your (even self-executable) file on sd-card for emergency purposes . . .
These program can backup the extented rom and the radio shack?
And where i can find them
Thanks
The rom's should not need regular backup. because they're ROM.
Keep a ROM upgrade file as a backup.
Backupmanager is able to backup your complete PocketPC.
I you have that on your sd card as an .exe, just running that after any hard-reset will get you up & running in minutes.
Search for sunnysoft, i think its a cz website

Hi Guys
First sorry for my english I hope you can understand what I meen
I updated my VPA1 = QTEK 2020 with Ger.shiped rom from Vodafone. it's original rom.
Now I have a problemm with SDCARD. I can read sd with Qtek but I can't whrite on it.
I thing new rom killed sd-slot driver???? or something like this.
Please make me Happy tell me what I can do!
Thanksalot
Cheers
Aykut from Germany
VPA I ~ QTEK 2020 von Vodafone
Modell-Nr. H10B
ROM ver. : 1.72.01GER

i would make sure the write proction switch on the sd card was not set
and if it were not locked
i would try the card in a sdcard reader or another device which used sd cards to check if they can write on it
if they could not i would "write" it off as a bad sdcard
and try another sdcard
I did it all SD is OK.
I tested with my MDA III and with PC I can write, read and erase no problem
The problem is Qtek 2020
cheers aykut
try a different sd card in the 2020 (pref an older card like a 512 meg or smaller...likely to be slower read/write) ... see what happens
if it works then it might be driver/OS related...what size, make and model is the card... there are known problems with larger faster cards
if it doesn't work then the phone has an issue (maybe flash a new rom, or check that the hardware switch that checks for write protect is'nt stuck)
hope that helps

then INSTALL HARD SPL V7.....(check out page 116, post 1160 to use the sd card method - I find it safer and have no sync problems unlike usin the pc). Just make sure you have more than 50% battery power if you use the sd card method.
Then you can install your new OS. just unrar/zip the file. sync your phone with active sync and double click on the RUU_Wrapper.exe file... Follow the prompts...
I prefer the sd card method, I find it safer. This is slightly different than installing Hard SPL using the sd card...
1). Format a 2GB or lower sd card fat32. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh onto it and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2). Insert sd card in phone and go to bootloader (hold power button, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold until you get to tri-colour screen).
3). It should recognise the Hermes flash file, just follow the prompts.
YOU NEED TO HAVE HARD SPL'ED YOUR PHONE TO DO THIS.
Happy Flashing & Welcome...

the only thing I think will erase any and all leftover corrupt data that is messing up your phone is task 29. these are things you need to do.
*if you haven't ever flashed a custom rom, and want to, do a hard spl(find the one specific to your phone) if your not going to flash a custom rom hard spl is not necessary, just find the neccesary stock rom package.
*Do a task 29 .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
*flash any rom.
*reformat your sd card to fat 32.( make sure to save any files you want before formatting as it will delete all info on card.
I hope you taking these steps help you bring your phone back.
DISCLAIMER!! I AM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR YOU MESSING UP YOUR PHONE, SO MAKE SURE YOU READ UP ON THESE STEPS I TOLD YOU SO YOU DON'T MAKE THINGS WORSE, GOOD LUCK
is it only programmes installed on your sd card that it cannot detect?
if so? It may be that your phone has created a new sd card? (in other words your old sd card may now show as sd card 1) If so then delete this new one and the old one will reappear.
Just a thought and if it does not work sorry.

Merry Christmas for All.
I have Problem in my device HD2, that I have message when I turn on the device to format my Memory and I can't find my memory and I lost all data in it.
So, Could you help me please to install new Rom.
Best wishes.
Here on this sticky thread you can find the needed information sir.
Merry Christmas for all.
I Have problem in my HD2, that I get message to format my Storage Card but I can't format it and I can't find my storage memory, How can I format it or Install new flash or Rom?
Please, thanks for your help
I checked your link and I did download the flash but it doesn't work. more details please?
All the details you need to flash a new rom are there in the link provided. Go and read the first few posts carefully. A little more detail from you would also help such as what rom are you running, what spl version, what radio version, what model HD2 etc etc etc.
You also say you tried to flash and it didn't work. What didn't work? What error messages did you get etc. It really is impossible to help you with the details you have (or haven't) provided. Also, you should not be starting a new thread when there are dedicated threads already provided to help with flashing problems.
Dear Clyde,,,
Thanks for your reply, I will list what I know about my device.
HTC HD2 T8585
OS 5.2.19202525.0
ROM version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07 U
spl version 1.66
The message is when I turn on the device asked me to format the storage memory and I click on (yes) it says that the format complete but it isn't,
In addition, when I try to connect the device with my laptop, the message for format again on device and also in my laptop to format the storage memory. then I try to format it form laptop it's doesn't work.
Finally, I can't find the storage memory anymore in device browsing.
So, I think it good detail please explain to me what you need more...
Best wishes.
Could be a duff microSD Card.
Remove card, switch on phone - any problems?
Put the card back in, switch on phone - any problems?
If you can, then put the microSD Card into a SD Card Adapter and connect it to your computer. Try fromatting it (not quick format) - any problems?
