i have
1.35 rom
1.27 radio
1.35 extrom
if i have my friend backup with good programs games etc
but my friend phone is not the same rom like i have
he got
1.31
1.21
1.31
and i take his backup and put in my device
so its not good or my rom and every thing will stay the same (i tried and now ilook at my device info its says my friend info)
so its only write that i have other rom but i still got my???
is that ok
sorry for the question my english not that good
well, technically speaking, if you were to overwrite everything into your phone, it should work as well. What backup software is he using though?
Look My Friend Got The Same Jasjam Like Me
He Got Imate Rom I Got Htc New Rom
I Wanted The Original Language From His Original Rom So I Put Spb Back Up And Make Back Up
I Took The Back Up To My Phone And Run It
So I Got Every Thing He Got Like Vthe Original Language
But I See That My Device Info Also Change To His Info
I Thing Its Only The Info It Cant Change The Ro Or Stuff Like That?
I upgraded my device to a new ROM. I did full backup with SPB Backup when I had an old ROM. Will I still have the new ROM after restoring backup? Or it changes to old ROM?
One of the backup software can be used for ROM upgrading. Check the forum on the backup guide by Menneisyys (I think).
I have found only one backup software which have posibility restore after ROM ugrade, it was Sprite backup 5.1. I tried it. It works but very bugy... I was need reinstal all programs manualy...

did you follow the upgrade mode faq? most ppl dont thats why the restores buggy. If you follow the faq from start to finish (including backing up the oldROM without pop accounts) then the restore should be perfect after a ROM upgrade

Hi, my brother is getting his xda 2 back and has asked me to install wm5 in it.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to simunlock his phone first, his phone is locked to smart philippines?
2. Is there anyway to backup his original rom, so i can flash it back in case he wants to downgrade back?
3. does upgrading your phone to wm5, simlock the phone again?
4 .Is it true that wm5 has problems regarding pocketie, camera button and loss of camera resolution?
Thanks in advance
1/3 roms and simlocks are never connected what so ever
changing rom will not sim lock or unlock (unless a tool to do so is autoloaded)
2 not sure what ppl mean if you have rom 1.72 and install 2005 and then install a 1.72 again you are back to your own rom not sure why one would want to backup the rom one had rather then just installing the same version again...
but if you mean your data then you can just use xbackup or spirite backup or activesync backup and restore that backup when you revert back to the rom version you had first.
4 if you read it in the 2005 forum and ppl dont have a fix you can find using search function then i guess so.
2. I wanted to restore the original rom, as in the rom itself. Just to be on the safe side.
the rom on your device is == 100% the same as the same rom version from the same operator's install files for that rom
so if you have 1.72 from tmobile and install 2005 and then get tmobiles install files for 1.72 and install that you have 100% the same device
with digital things everything is 0's and 1's
so there cant! be any difference between the rom from tmobile 1.72 you have and if you install 1.72 rom from tmobile
there is no hardcoded stuff which makes the rom of your device uniqe compared to every other device with the same rom
everything you need to know

Hi everyone. I've been reading for a while and think I've now got enough threads, tools and comments to go ahead and upgrade my Vodafone Hermes to WM6 and one of the cooked ROMs arround.
My only concern is that I still do not have a clear picture about if it's possible to have a full backup of my current ROM as is today in the event my upgrade process is not succesfull (been positive here . I thought I could just pack my current ROM into my PC so I could later restore it but not at all sure how.
Any threads, links or tools would be appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their unvaluable work in this forum... what would we do without it!!!

Absolutely ! SPB Backup and Sprite - two packages I know off. I've being using SPB for quite a while now. It does a complete snapshot of your device an in case your new ROM installation does not go smooth or you simply are not happy with it - just reflash with the orginal base ROM and execute the backup.exe file to return to the point where you started from. So the important thing to remember - before doing anything - make sure you have the original distro base of a ROM you are running right now and if you'll be flashing your device - ensure you have Hard SPL installed.
what is distro base of current rom and also hard spl? Sorry... I am so new to this world of flash upgrades and everything... I am also unsure about the official "official" release of the ROM that was postedlast month for the 8525. First question is... If this doesnt work or I dont like it... can i reinstall the upgrade that will be coming out that is official?

it is very simple. Just do a search for hermes unlocker. The current version is v3a. Or just follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665&page=2
You will have to download that unlocker application and follow the instructions. After that, hard SPL and unlocker will be installed automatically. Then you need to buy Sprite Backup software for PPC (there is no good hacked version out there) and backup the phone using that ROM backup feature. After backup is done, it is safe to proceed to ROM upgrade. I would strongly recommend to do the backup before the upgrade because it's much safer. It will save you a lot of troubles if something goes wrong.
SPB Backup does full rom?
I've read some bad comments about SPB backup. I though it only performed backup of data and config and not full ROM, but Moisha's comment sounds like I am not right and is valid to restore from a faulty ROM update.
In any case I understand those are the 2 options and there is no free software available. If that is the case the Sprite Backup looks better to me so I'll have to diff into it.
If I go ahead I'll try to post something about backups as I've not found much info for newbies like me and this is probably the first thing to be done.
Thanks.

Yes, that's what I do. I use spb sprite myself but there are other good backup software. After trying a new ROM, if I decide to go back I simply flash back the previous ROM, and do a restore.
mickey.lez, as eaglesteve mentions, there are other alternatives. I use SPB Backup. It has a ROM upgrade mode. That way, when I change ROMs, which I do more often here than changing underwear , I don't have to reinstall my software and email settings. And of course, if you want to revert to a prior ROM as you ask, you can do that too.
Another program for backup is Rescobackup , a simple program that you can set your data to backup and etc... but after i install un-official ROMs on my unit , it doesn't work properly and crash on every restore ...
But with official ROM working very well
I'm going to test SPB backup
thank's you all
i'll try it away and tell you what have done
flash back to WHAT previous ROM?

That's good, but how can I arrange to have the 'previous ROM' available to flash back? I don't have another copy of the ROM contents that came with the machine.
Thanks for all you do!
Any updated howto? There's a page in the wiki listing some tool (the URL to that is dead now though), but it's unclear for me how to use it, even though it's described pretty detailed.
I want to dump my ROM because today, after many attempts, long searches and waiting I've finally gotten my ROM just the way I like it, and I want to be able to reflash it as is. I'm now using Sprite Backup (came free with my device), but that doesn't do a full ROM backup, so I'd have to flash back the ROM and then use Sprite Backup to restore my own stuff.
Any help on this would be really appreciated
