Restoring original rom mwg atom life? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development

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
Model: Atom Life WM6
ExtRom: EX0102
Hardware: V7
Radio: AL1_KLNC2340_080121_RS001
ROM: 200800201B2WWE
Is some of this newer than the rom i loaded???

Best WM6 Rom With TouchFLO

hi guys
i just purchased a 2nd hand dopod 818 pro of the net. i'm not too sure about the formware version but i know its running WM6 and it already has the HTC home and TouchFLO stuff installed with it. But i feel its extremely slow and laggy. got to use the overclocker to push it from 195 to 273.
This is what i was able to extract from the device info
rom version: 6.6.6.666 WWE
rom date: 23/8/07
radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Transformer 1.1
is there a faster rom with WM6+Touchflo+HTC home+3d cube for use?
the speed, stability, functionality, might be difference between any type of prophet models.
some might say this rom is good for jammin, some say not to dopod.
i suggest you try some roms & flash it, then you can notice which is good for you.
also you might need to do some extra read on the rom thread. maybe you can get some clues to your curiosity.
latest roms available for prophet is wm6.1
read, read, choose, pick & flash it
i'm using shadow vista clean ver. rom by varanusvincent & iiiox (base on cloudyfa rom) on my dopod 818 pro.

hi duato
thanks for your quick reply. i was looking for something with the HTC plugins built into the rom. not as seperate cabs.
If you want to use certain rom which you think good for you but doesnt have htc plugins, you'll need to install it yourself.
Dont want cab?, so you need the OEM ver.
link to htc stuff :

& this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
is there an OEM rom for the HTC touch that will work with the prophet?
OEM=original equipment manufacturer.
oem is not a rom, it is a file that extract from original source to be use into other device.
i guess the htc touch files that you want is the htc home, touchflo & cube.
look for it from the link above & install. so next, your device will have the same functionality as htc touch
BEFORE that, upgrade your device with latest/newer wm6 or wm6.1 for better stability, speed etc.
read this for upgrade, give you some info :

O2 Atom Life Windows Mobile 5 -> 6

Hi guys i got an atom life from Hong Kong but weirdly, the ROM is 20070326B1ARA. How can i get it to windows mobile 6 ? I tried the roms on see02.com but there were all recognized by the machine as being wrong.
So far i tried the Hong Kong Rom, Singapore, Middle_East (should be this isn't it?). All of them would not work. Please help. Thanks
Firstly, do you want to just upgrade the ROM without the Radio or you want the whole package updated to WM6?
Is there anyway to up ROM + Radio only?
@bravedoan
yes..but a bit tedious. your options:
1) write your own DSUU application with your own ROM.
2) If you want a different ROM and a different radio. then first use the DSUU upgrade utility of a original ROM. Then falsh you ROM using SD card.

I didn't hv correct pass.32 to upgrade by DSUU...that's why I'm looking for the way to upgrade OS ROM + ExROM + Radio ROM by SD, at this moment, I can only upgrade OS ROM + ExROM by SD. Can u teach me what's the Radio Rom file of Atom Life? Or how can I get the correct pass.32 to upgrade ROM by DSUU?
nevermind..

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?

How to reflash back to O2/ MWG ROM from PDAVIET ROM?

How to Reflash back to O2 ROM??
Had using this ROM (PDAVIET ROM WM6.1 Manilla 2D (Core 20924) by TranMinhMan) for a week, and wish to flash back to original rom (o2 ROM)
How to flash back?
According to older post that say delete the 1st 12byte using Hex Editor from Original ROM (Flash.DIO). but it doesn't work.
Any expert to help me?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441452&page=6
I'm not an expert at all, but works flashing via pc in original home site without no more steps, just flashing over. I did it and it worked for my Atom Life a few time ago.
you need to find the original ROM for MWG Atom Life, flash it.
Thank you for the reply.
i had try to direct flash the official ROM with PC, but shows Country error or Customer ID error (something like that). and refer the edit the hex key (delete the 1st 12 byte) method, i still no hope on that (maybe im not expert on that?).... So, any idea still can solve my problem?
Now still stuck at the PDAVIET ROM.
Well, you have to choose a ROM for your own country. If you have an O2 Atom, then do not download the MWG ROM and vice versa. If you bought your phone from a different country then check which ROM did it originally ship with. Country would be specified in the phone box cover.

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?
