How to backup ROM?

Is there a utility to do this? Does it backup onto SD card?
Yes there is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43399

Anyone got any backed up roms I can use?
My Vario is locking up at the spash screen and I read somewhere here that if you ntrw back onto the sd card a rom image it should fix it.
Problem is I didn't back up my rom before i started to play!

Hmmm, without wanting to state the obvious why don't you just flash the latest T-Mobile ROM onto your device? There are several options from T-Mobile linked in recent threads.
All you really need to do is get the device into the bootloader (the bootloader can be entered by holding the "Camera" button while resetting) then run the suitable ROM upgrade on a PC with the Vario attached.
No need to mess with unlocking, CID issues, custom ROM's and the like just to get the device up and going again .
This is assuming that you have mangled the OS like your post suggests (and it's getting past the 1st splash suggesting the bootloader is still in tact).

I have flashed it with about 5-6 different roms from the ftp site but none get past the spash screen .. I read the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=227676&highlight=format+failed#227676 and hence my need for a backup sd version.

Ok,
Care to post up ALL versions of the ROM parts currently on your system to this thread?
IPL, SPL, Radio, OS etc.
I assume you have no problems flashing from the boot loader then just geting the flash to work?

Cool, so the iMate ARU2 ROM. Let me see if I can't cook up a ROM with no bootloader (so we don't make things worse) and give that a try.
Just to confirm is it the ROM info splash it locks on or the Windows Mobile splash (i.e. does it really boot the OS then bale or just freeze init'ing the OS.

I SOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT SD CARD BACKUP
i found one sd card backup from another kjam but when tried to load that dump on my phone it gave an error ( update not allow) so finally i downloaded the custom rom file from ftp site and loaded into phone which let me past the boot screen and then i used lockwiz method to unlock cid. Now i can upgrade to any latest rom. I ve downloaded one from ftp and my mobile is working fine now but with one problem which i think is some harware issue.
when i put my mobile on charging it just hangs there and when i remove the charger the screen gets white and my mobile reboots.
can someone tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks

It´s really urgent... pls send me to [email protected]

Format Is Failed

Hello,
Just flashed the Cingular 8125 to the new upgrade rom from the HTC site. All went okay but the 8125 hangs on teh startup screen the one that says
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 01.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
won't go any furhter....... I did a hard rest but it says Format is Failed
I did another hard reset and it says Format is failed.
What is going on with this phone....
I even went into the bootlader by pressing the camera key.. It let me in so I flashed it again and it made it to 100% but the phone will not boot.
I tried to hard rest again and still the same result.
Is this phone dead?????????????????

As was explained to you in a prior thread, yes, the phone needs service. Asking the same question again does not change the answer. You either need to exchange it at the place of purchase or send it in for repair.

You have a hardware problem..

Out of curiosity, have you tried the "Mr Clean" ROM? it's got a nearly empty extended ROM.
The error you're getting is in the attempted format of the fat filesystem which holds the extended ROM on the disk-on-chip. I wouldn't give up just yet.. =) But that's just me..

Mate thats exactly the problem I had with my wizard. I had to find another wizard (luckily at work lots of people had them) and create a backup of thier rom on to sd card. After that I reflashed mine with that image and my wizard started getting past the initial screen. I then reflashed with Mr Clean and promised never to touch it again (until another rom comes out of course :twisted: )Check my thread!

NBK file corrupt...can't update ROM...HELP!!

Ok...
awhile back, I updated my MDA with hacked ROM that made bluetooth better (bluetooth 1.2 i think). anyway, i had no problems with loading new ROM. IPL is 2.17
now, i want to update to newer ROM. as instructed, i downloaded new Tmobile ROM 2.26 and tried to update my MDA.
during the install, i get an error saying my nbk file is corrupt and cannot proceed. so i have the tri color screen and i have to reload ROM 2.17. so my problem is that i cannot update to a newer ROM without fixing the nbk files that are corrupt.
anyone have any ideas on this??? i need help please....

Just do everything it says and you will be fine... This will point you to the links you need

thanks...i have some more questions
1) i currently have a full backup of my stuff. if i reload the backup, will it interfere with my new ROM?
2) can you point me to where i can find wm6?
again, thanks for your help....
-mike

1). Yes it will interfere with your new ROM.. not stable anymore
2). Just search around and you'll find plenty.. trust me

i was trying to get IPL and SPL to 1.XX in order to write Tmobile 2.26 ROM.

Phone Stuck in Splash Screen

Hey
I upgraded my phone from a molski rom to the wm6 rom and now it is stuck in the start/splash screen with MOLSKIs splash.
I done what was told in another thread but still nothing working( Mini SD Method).
Does anybody have any other ideas?
I can get to the bootloader but that about it.
NB: Its a G3 Device and it is CID Unlocked
Is the anyway to load a rom on a memory card and install it from bootloader

You could try flashing back to the rom that your device came shipped with aka your carriers rom.

Yeh, Doesnt seem to work.
I get the error 260 in RUU.
Maybe the Wizard Love Rom will work, but I can seem to get the rapidshare link to work.

Reboot your pc. Then kill off wcescomm.exe from task manager. Then disable any firewalls and remove your minisd card from your device. This may stop the errors. Try flashing your carriers rom again.
If the error msg is still there then report back here and I will find you a working link to wizard love.

Exact same message, Error 260.
I did try to do the Mini SD card method early, everything went smooth. It said completed and when I restarted the device, nothing had changed.
IPL/SPL 2.26, but my OS Version is : 6.00
The Splash Screen Im getting is from my old Rom, Molskis AKU 3.2
Know a place that I can get the Love rom From. I have searched everywhere.

Wizard Love is located here and here.

Cant seem to get anything from Rapidshare

Yass3r, I think you performed CID unlocking while IPL is 2.26...
Look at the sticky in the forum, get the Button's 1.05 ROM, flash it so IPL and SPL is downgraded to 1.01, then CID unlock your wizard again.

Hey
I cant seem to get anything from Rapidshare, maybe my ISP blocks it. Is there anywhere else that I can get those specific Roms from?

Is my phone already dead? Please help me!
Hi, I have a similar may be the same problem!
My phone is a German t-mobile mda compact 2
First I work with “lokiwiz v.02” to unlock the SIM, and it works really well.
Then I installed “Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1” and I could calibrate the screen, and after that Win Mobile 6 installed all the extra stuff automatically. After that the device made a reboot, but it stop at the t-mobile boot screen.
Because the bootload modus is still running, I installed the newest original t-mobile software “RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_GER_Ship” but this also didn’t solve the problem.
Hard reset didn't work and always says "Format is
The Start screen shows me this information:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.22
Is my phone really dead or could someone tell me a trick to reactivate it?

I think noone have a solution for us. I tried to send commands to phone whith mtty. and I can´t send. I don´t know why. so f we cannot send commands the sd card method will not work too. the only olution is to jtag the charmer. but can´t find any pinout information. if anyone knows this informtion, please help.
