Atom Life ROM backup before upgrade - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

I am thinking of upgrading my Atom Life to WM6 once the official rom has been released.
What is the best way of doing a backup of the WM5 rom on the Atom Life before performing the upgrade?
I found a link to the instructions here that was posted on the xda-developers site. Can the same procedure be used to backup the rom of the Atom Life?
Are there any other recommended ways to perform a full backup of your rom before doing a major release upgrade?
Thanks.

Bump ...
Someone has to have some idea of how to backup the WM5 rom for a O2 Life.

Restoring original rom mwg atom life?

I have installed the PV_AL_OS_5.2.19701_V6.1.0.7_3G_by_Medkid rom on my MWG atom life, which was new from expansys with wm6 already on it.
Before I did this I used grab_it_64_143.exe to make what I assumed was a back up of the original rom. This left me with a 64MB file called 'dump.bin'
Is this a back up of my original rom and can it be restored??
Thanks for any help
Original rom
Hi there,
I'm not sure wether it is your original rom, but if you want to revert to the original rom, download the program from the MWG site and run the program, first of all it will state a connection error. The run it again and it then should connect and revert your rom to the original o2 rom.
If not there are plenty of posts that will tell you, you just have to thoroughly search.
Hope this helps
The dump.bin was made using the guide on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_SD_DUMP
But i can seem to open it with any of the tools I have tried
btw, before I loaded the 3g rom 6.1.0.7 my info was

ExtRom: EX0102
Hardware: V7
Radio: AL1_KLNC2340_080121_RS001

HELP!!! Atom Life WM6.1 Clean ROM

Hi,
I just bought the O2 Atom Life (not the MWG) 2 days ago for a very attractive clearance price in a computer shop. It's still running WM5 though ~
I've browsed through a lots of threads in this forum and have found most of the "unofficial" WM6 ROM have many software "pre-installed" which I don't really need ~
Could anyone suggest where can I download a "clean" ROM for WM6.1 or at least WM6.0? Is the version of the MWG Atom Life ROM only WM6.0?
I would prefer a clean ROM for either English version or Traditional Chinese if there is any ~
Thank you so much
Wallace
I've tried to upgrade the ROM to MWG's Official WM6 (not WM6.1), but the free memory left is < 25MB, and there aren't that many software ~
How's TranMinhMan's WM6.1 ROM (20753) vs Medkid's WM6.1 ROM (19214). Which one will you recommend to be more stable and hopefully less buggy?
Cheers

Hi Wallace,
You can get it at MWG websites but only WM6.0. There's no official WM6.1 for Atom Life.

Hello Wallace,
If you are too lazy to search for it, I give u the link:

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the replies
I've tried the MWG ROM already and I don't like it because the memory left is smaller than those official ROM and also there aren't any useful "utilities" installed ~
Now the question is where can I find the Official O2 WM6 ROM to "overwrite" the MWG ROM?

You could try the ROM in my signature. It's a good compromise between the heavily customised ROMS wwhich often have problems and the stock ones.
Free RAM is about 5Mb more than a stock ROM and it is finger friendly and very reliable.
With PDAVIET 20753 ROM I have 27mb RAM free... Which one is better

PDAViet 20753 TOM build by TranMinhMan is base on the original O2 Atom Life WM6 ROM. some other cooked ROM is based on the MWG ROM.. all this ROM is not official, it is "cooked" version ROM..
to answer you question which one is better, i think the best person to answer you is yourself.. i would advice you to try other ROM version and feel it and study it which one is more stable and which one would satisfies you.
I use the MWG ROM in my signature because, although it does not have as much free memory (15Mb with everything other than TomTom running) I have had problems with .NET applications when using a few PDA VIET ROMS. I'm told that the extra free memory is gained by cutting corners that sometimes cause problems with other software. The PDA VIET ROMS that I have used have all been fine other than this.
I run SPB Mobile shell, SPB Phone Suite, SPB Weather and TomTom 7 on my Atom Life and everything is fast and smooth so I ask myself who needs so much free memory?
The best way really is to try them for yourself
sorry, wrong post
The most stable rom in my humble opinion, may be u should try this awesome rom:

i'm using O2 atom life and obviously it originally had the O2 firmware, since then i've flashed the MWG firmware and currently with it being connected to the PC, it has 13.9mb ram free. So judging from the PDAVIET light version, it seems that theres approx. 28mb ram free, i really want to install it but however I only have a 4gb mini SDHC card, as such, how can i flash it? Flashing the MWG firmware was easy since it was a PC flasher, however, all the custom roms i've seen generally require a 2gb or less card to flash. Is there anyway to circumvent it?

Atom Life Original Firmware flashing troubles

Dear friends!
I need your help. I've accidentally flashed my Atom Life with Atom Exec WM6.5 ROM. And now I can not reflash it with original Xda or MWG firmware (the DSUU indicates "Customer or Model ID ERROR").
I've tried to reflash it with miniSD AL1.DIOs: yes, it's alive, but it has so many bugs, it seems to me it's going to die.
Is there a way to go back to original firmware?
