I've seemingly exhausted every thread here, looking for a guide, tools, advise etc. on how to make a usable (flashable) ROM dump of the OS, Radio, SPL... essentially a full back-up for a "Stock" US Cellular Titan (I know that there's no such "stock" ROMs for US Cellular... furthermore, that the current "stock" ROMs are old non-gps).
I have a replacement US Cellular Titan which is unaltered; therefore, I would like to copy it's "Stock" ROMs so that I can:
1- Have a back-up
2- Re-flash my old unit which I'm required to return to US Cellular
3- So that I can UL the originals here on XDA for others to have available
if needed.
Again, I neither know what tools are required, nor how to properly make a ROM Dump; so, IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME ON THIS? Any advise and/or resources that you guys can provide would help immensely!
I've PM'd the "usual suspects" here (i.e. GC, & DCD) but these Gurus are, i'm sure, flooded with requests and/or other commitments. PLEASE HELP in any way you can! THAnkS
UPDATE: OK, Found a good thread on this HERE with a nifty little application too! Please feel free to continue the discussion on this thread, though; ANY other methods or advice will definitely help! Now, How do we use these bin files and convert them into a flashable ROM?
Got a question.... Are you currently running the ROM your device was shipped with? If so pm me, I have a file I need to pass to you so you can help me compile your OEM ROM.

hi , i lwant to install a new rom on my device (niki is my first win mobile device), but i'm a really newbie and i dont know what to do to install it! Would u help me saying what i have to flash and to install the rom correctly on my niki (without breaking it ) ? I've read all the sticky and i've tried to search in the forum but i've not understand what to do !
Thanks a lot guys
me too =( so many thinks dont understand..
can someone explain us step by step how to flash the device and install a new rom (i want to try the new tom codon rom)?
Before you start anything,
know that you will void your warranty if you send in your device with a different SPL and rom that it came loaded with, you should know how to revert back for warranty reasons. If you dont want to risk anything, I recommend not continuing. If you are unsure read the threads completely until you are comfortable.
This is just a simple starting piont and not a guide.
Use this post to find the threads to help unlock, update your HardSPL and flash your rom. I know the ropes somewhat but I may be a little off, since I havent done this in awhile, but here is the gist of it.
First thing you should do is check to see what device you have.
To do this take you battery off and look for a model number (i.e. NIKI100, NEON200 or NEON300) This will tell you what device you have and what Roms are available to you. Niki100 is the most common
After that you need to find out if you device is carrier locked
and if so I beleive you need to unlock it. It wouldnt hurt anyways to have the device unlocked. This allows you to use your phone on any supporting network. These locked devices are generally branded by cell phone companies like Orange or Tmobile ect.. If you have a straight HTC device more than likely you are not locked to a network.
Next you will need to update your USPL or HardSPL
by following this thread by jockyw2001 - If you can not figure this thread out, you may want to consider not flashing your device because there is always risk involved in damaging your phone especially if you dont know why and what your are doing.

Now you can flash a rom that is compatible.
Check the Rom that has been developed for guides and read the all the post for problems before flashing. This is important because alot of the Roms may be a Beta meaning they have bugs to be worked out, plus it makes other user's happier that you dont ask alot of questions that have been posted before. Make sure that the Rom will be compatible with your device (NIKI100 or NEON200 ect..)
Please continue at your own risk, I can not be responsible for errors and bricking you device. I am just tyring to give you direction to start.
Hope this helps and good luck - Thanks

same problem ,i m new here?
how to install dutch rom .
plaese step by step
So I don't know much about this stuff, the extent of my knowledge is how to get a .cab on my phone and install something like Manilla 2D on my HTC Touch Dual(model no.: NEON400).
I saw this thread: ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567027
which is pretty much what I am asking.
Can so please give a more detailed tutorial on how to do all of this stuff about HardSPL and Radio and stuff? If you need to know what rom I am looking at putting on my phone it is this one:
ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591274
Sorry for being such a newb but I just don't want to **** up my phone.
*PS: I had to remove the h on the url due to the new member link restriction.
-Please use the 'Search' function first, and check the manuals already made available for the Niki.
-First read the manuals completely and follow the steps meticulously..!
-Before posting your questions, remember that everything you need to know, to flash your device, is probably already made available for you on the board.
-Take your time to find out what you need to know before you flash your device, or you 'will' brick it..!
I can't hspl my Neon400 using the same things as used for the Nike, I've tried and it does not work so this thread is obsolete. But thank you for acknowledging my trouble and taking the time to try to help.
I have looked everywhere for the file. I cant us the Xutility tool as i ma on ubuntu. my emulater wont run so thats out of the question.
I really need a stock deodexed 4.1.26 rom so that I can mod and them it to my liking.
is there anyone out there with a cwm flashable zip or a completely wiped recovery backup that i may use to install on my atrix and do my theming and modding on?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ok.........Bump......bump...
I am not trying to be rude by anymeans when i make this statement, however i am finding the atrix community to not be very helpful. my previous devices communities are so much more tight knit and more than willing to respond to even the dumbest question and to help all members out no matter what.
Since i have been a member of this community i have gotten very little assistance with things that i thought would be simple to answer and give feedback on that i am really actually disgusted.
I am not interested in changing to a custom rom as i havent found one that i like and really just want to theme and mode my stock 4.1.26.... can someone give me a hand in this or did i just happen to get the wrong device and join the wrong communtity?
Hello guys!
I need a bit of help on unlocking my Nokia Lumia to install XAP files.
I know that there are some cool ROMs to install that already have what I want installed, but I don't know how to install them. There is a downloader app for my Lumia that works with the os.nb file (I think), so if I download the ROM I can install it with this app?
Also, I want to do it by myself. I've searched on the WP7 chef central but I didn't found anything that I could understand, and I'm not a newbie when it comes to modding OSes (a past in Android teached me lots of things). If someone could point me what do I need to do to unlock my phone it would be awesome.
Here are some things that I didn't understood yet:
What are the DONOR_SLDR and what I need to to with it?
How to "install" the FullUnlock using OS builder?
How can I remove languages from ROM?
How do I remove stock apps, and add other ones to the ROM (like Bluetooth share, which is pretty much all I want!)
There is some way to add more color schemes to customization?
Please spare me if these questions had already been answered somewhere else, I've tried to search for them but, like I said, found nothing that I could understand. And thanks in advance!

You can check my ROM there. It has all the features you want in it. And I've provided links to videos which show you how to easily unlock and flash the rom to your phone.
If you want to cook your own rom there are a couple of guides in the Chef Central and WP7 Development forums. You can find help there
Quick question: will I need to re-add the activation code? Or it will work out-of-the-box?
Your ROM looks great, I just need to know if I'll need the activation code and I think I'll stay with it.
You can easily get the key from Microsoft through their online chat facility. And yes, all custom rom's after installation will require you to add it. There are few workarounds but it's alot easier to just get key from MICROSOFT, get it once and you can use it whenever you want to install a custom rom again
I know there are a thousand threads on Rooting/Unlocking and Custom ROM's for the Atrix, because I've spent the last 3 days reading every one I could find. However, most of them appear to be very dated and often conflicting. As I'm coming to the game a little late I was hoping for some assistance on how to proceed.
Here's what I have;
AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (I bought this new under contract, kept it for 2 years, upgraded to another phone and this one has been a paperweight for the past 18 months) AT&T will give me an unlock code if I ask, but I'm a little confused by the conflicting reports on whether to do it this way or not.
It's an MB860
FW Version 4.5.141
OS Version 2.3.6
Baseband N_01.77.37P
Webtop WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build 4.5.141
I'd like to Unlock it so I can run a Foreign SIM card, I'd like to Root it so I can add non-approved apps, and I'd like to play with some ROM's, Redpill has some very good user reviews so I'm thinking of giving it a try but I'm not stuck on it.
Obviously don't want to brick the phone, so any advice would be appreciated, the more detailed the better
I have Windows 8.1, Mac OS X, and Windows XP-SP3 computers to work with.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
While certain threads are (or might seem) outdated and/or conflicting, there are also other threads that serve as a kind of index of the most current methods and procedures. That should help you get around. Plus there are threads and guides written especially for noobs...
Yes, the code from AT&T is the safest and simplest way to do SIM unlock. Only important point here is that the device must be running the official Moto/AT&T firmware at the time of unlock. I'm not sure what kind of "conflicting information" you came across, to my knowledge nobody who's used the code as described never had any problems.
As for rooting, regardless of the variant or firmware version of your device, the preinstall method is the one to use. By far the most universal, plus personally and generally I dislike any "automatic", "one-click" or similar methods - for me at least they are usually more trouble than they're worth.
As for playing with ROMs, you first need to unlock your BL, then install a custom recovery, and then you have a shot at ROMs. So quite a wide topic with plenty enough threads created on the subject, so no point in repeating what's already said countless times. By the time you're done with other things mentioned (SIM unlock, rooting) you should be able to find your way around.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've requested an unlock code from AT&T, should be good to go in 48 hours.
In the mean time, is it important that I have it unlocked before I root, or will it matter?
Update
I realize this may seem to be off-topic but I'm not asking for assistance with this newest update, I'm only using the experience to help clarify my concerns about the Atrix.
Waiting for my requisite 24 hours before unlocking the SIM on my Moto Atrix. While I'm waiting i decided to gain a little experience by rooting a Galaxy S5570 and installing a custom Rom.
Like the Atrix there are dozens if not hundreds of threads, videos, tutorials etc for how to accomplish this. I found the most recent one I could that seemed to be a complete tutorial and it was dated from January of this year (much newer than any threads I've found on the Atrix BTW)
Rooting went fine. Confirmed with a Root Test app.
Loaded a CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery package as instructed and ended up bricking the phone. By all accounts this tutorial was for the exact model of phone with the exact same FW and Android version.
This is no big loss as it was a cheap phone that I wasn't using anyway, but it certainly opened my eyes to the risks involved in attempting this procedure on the more costly Atrix.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a current procedure for Rooting, Unlocking the Bootloader and installing a custom ROM on the Atrix with the specs from my Original Post. If any of you have the same phone and had success following a particular procedure I would greatly appreciate some links.
I know how forums work, and I know there are always the guys that reply RTFM to every noobs questions, as someone with technical skills in other areas I can generally tell the difference between someone who just doesn't want to bother doing the Due Diligence and someone who is struggling to sort through the myriad solutions to find the one that's right. I really don't want to brick this phone so any pointed advice would be greatly appreciated.

Meanwhile you have ROMs all over the place here in the Atrix 4G section of xda that you are not going to go download, rather you are going to request a ROM for the phone instead. Head over to the development section and download a ROM instead of requesting the necessary resources that are already available to you.
