Hello
As I mentioned somewhere else, I have a newer ROM: 1.09.479.3
How can I backup it before I start flashing WM6.5 roms?
Thanks
This was discussed before here:

Guys,
Sorry noobie question here. Is there a way to backup (dump) my ROM before trying one of the new BETA ROMs? Can someone point me to a thread if it exists? Specifically, what software do I use, and any caveats?
Thanks!
Same question here
I too would like to know this?
This is probably a noob questions, but I thought I would get confirmation before I jump into it as I don’t see it anywhere posted anywhere. I am not new to flashing and have been flashing 6.1 for awhile now. I see all the 6.5 ROMs being posted and wondering if there is anything new I need to do apply before jumping into a 6.5 ROM. I do have HardSPL applied and understand that each ROM is different, but in general please let me know.

Nope... I don't think so...
Just backup your personal stuff... And start flashing
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response. Rule of thumb is always back up. I always flash back to the orginal stock ROM and start from a clean slate. Didn't think I needed to do anything, but better to be safe than sorry and ask!
And get ready to ask moreeee... questions.. We are here try to help u answer it
how do u recover factory rom?? ive never flashed anything b4 .... i use sprite backup to backup my stuff... thx in advance
If ur stock rom is available for download from HTC/carrier site, then no need to backup ur factory rom by dumping it (search for Jcespi2005 thread).
sorry another question... if i load a WM6.5 rom can i load my contacts and stuff from sprite ?? thanks
I never use sprite but i think it will work fine if u only want to restore contacts. But dont do full restore as wm6.5 hv many different modules / registry entries. DotFred PIM Backup will do the job perfectly. SPB backup also working fine.
My current configuration is in my signature.
I have made up my mind to flash a new ROM.
I am planning to try Dutty's Topaz Sense 2.5 Holy Grail R6 Multi-Lang |WWE] [LP].
I have downloaded the following and had the backup of my files (system files) using Sprint Backup and read the "Flashing your first ROM? - A guide".
1. Duttys_Topaz_2.16_Sense_2.5_5.2.21882.5.0.73_Holy_Grail_R6_LP.zip
2. Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL.zip
3. TopazSPLRelocker_SPL133.zip
4. SSPL-Manual-TopazV5_01.zip
I have couple of question before flashing the rom.
1. Whether the ROM (Duttys_Topaz_2.16_Sense_2.5_5.2.21882.5.0.73_Holy_Grail_R6_LP) will be suitable for HTC Touch Dimaond2 T5353(please see my signature for other build/os/radio version)? Whether LP is good or TP? Which one to choose any suggestion?
2. Whether this ROM is the latest version or any other version is out?
3. I will HardSPL and then install the ROM as per the instructions in "Flashing your first ROM? - A guide".
If anything went wrong, whether can I able to revert back my original WM 6.5 offical rom (RUU_Topaz_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.1_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship).
If so, please suggest how to do it? any instructions/guide on it?
4. What is the advantage of flasing the ROM in SD card rather than in the internal memory?
5. I am going to try for first time, if possible suggest an interesting/stable ROM other than Dutty's. Since many people using Dutty it should be stable..if anyother is also available..pls suggest
Thanks in advance.

Happy new year to everybody!
BeeGee,
Thanks for your help. I got it and however I have just postponed the flashing the ROM. I don't want to get into an issue. I am planning to go through this forum for couple more weeks to famarlize the things related to ROM development on Windows Mobile. I am learning more things on this forum, but yet to learn more...
michaeljohn, reading your posts I remembered when I was so afraid to make the first step, some months ago...
The whole process is very smooth, quick and safe, if you follow the guides. To be honest, I regret not doing it before.
In my case, my wife bought a french TD2, with a 6.1 WM. I needed to change the language, so I used a 6.1 english stock rom. just recently I had guts to update it to 6.5, and now I'm testing cooked roms, to see which fit my needs more. And they are awesome!
See ya!
Please stop spamming with irrelevant questions, use Dutty's thread please
Anyone?
I have searched on here, google, wiki and still can not find any info,
I'm looking @ flashing a custom rom but want to make a backup of my ROM 1st so I can revert if needed (not my setting or doc's etc my ROM)
Is there a tool to dump my official TMUK rom
Really cant believe it is so hard to find this info ;-(
Thanks in advance
go to rom development section, find the "leo official roms" thread, first post, first link, and download it from there.
you CAN dump the rom and then use a kitchen to rebuild it, but its not at all straightforward. compared to the ten minutes to download it, dumping it is a waste of time and effort.
Thanks for the reply,
sorry if it was a n00b type question,
just thought there would be an easy tool to DUMP a phones rom, (would have thought there would be one, my bad, - not used a kitchen - yet!!)
Anyway took a dive and flashed it now,,, well happy
Thanks again.
Hi
I would like to do a custom ROM, but can not find the way in which the backup files (cache.img, boot.img, data.img, system.img) I do my ROM - firmware. online I found a way to make a custom ROM from the official ROM, but how can I make a custom ROM from a backup, I can not find solutions. Can anyone help with this?
