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

My MDA won't boot correctly anymore.

I was upgrading my MDA using the official mda update 2.26 and then the phone completely froze. When I soft-resetted the phone, it wont get off the T-Mobile load screen. I tried to hard-reset it using the voice+commanager to reset, but then it just goes back to the T-Mobile load screen. Can anyone help me? I also tried to flash the Wizard_Love on the 3 color screen but it keeps giving me error 200. Please I need your help.

I'm having the same issue I down loading and install to my storage card some files gps navi apps from the ppc freeware site. while trying the apps my device froze.

Remove the sdcard/minisd and do a hard reset.

Bricked?
Hi all,
i have similar problem like Lo0o0nG.
Tried to flash wm6 on my g3 wizard following the wiki:
Flashed the Button ROM "CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ROM" but after rebooting the wizard stucks in the first screen with the beer glass on it - showing IPL 1.01, SPL 2.21, GSM 01.12.10 and OS 1.5.4.2.
Then nothing else happens...
Did this 6 or 7 times before with g3 and g4 phones - worked perfectly till now..
Are there any suggestions / any possibility to get my phone working again?
thx,
derHarry

If the phone is CID unlocked use the SD/mtty method to restore the full ROM image.
If it's not CID unlocked then try to unlock it with WST and reflash the ROM(s)

Thank you for your fast reply!
It's not CID unlocked, but WST can't connect to the device...
any other suggestions?

I'm sorry but WST can't connect unless the OS has booted already. I didn't realize it when answering.
I guess the only solution now is to use the commercial unlocking solution by IMEIcheck.co.uk

Thank you for your suggestions,
i think i'll replace the touchscreen from this bricked device with the broken one from my other device... so it's not that tragical
btw: how could this happen? did i something wrong while flashing?

Yes. I believe you flashed a ROM without permission (CID unlocking) or an upgrade went wrong (stopped before finishinfg) and now the bootloader 1.xx can't load the OS because the 2.xx address is different and can't be found.

You know what the totally histerical thing about this is? This is the exact same reason I made my first post. LOL.
Alright I'm gonna try to help you seeing as how it doesn't look like too many others are looking here.
I have several questions first before I can help you.
1. Who is your wireless service provider? IE: T-Mobile, Cingular, Etc...
2. What Is your IPL/SPL?
Answer these 2 questions for me and I will be able to better help you.

Thanks for the quick reponse
Now the irony is i am here in nepal and i use the phone as a simple mobile phone, but as far as i know i remember flashing a T-Mobile ROM while upgrading to WM6, the IPL and SPL both are 2.26, i unlocked the device while upgrading..
Thanks

Hey!
ok lets c if I may be of some help here,if u r in bootloader screen than try to reflash again T-mobile 2.26 rom and if it goes alright than go on to flash any other wm6 cooked roms.
or
if it doesnt flash than i wud suggest u reflash back the buttons 105 rom to get back to ipl/spl 1.05,than again use lokiwiz tool to unlock cid & reflash T-Mobile to gain ipl.spl 2.26
hope it works out.it happened once with me also, I did the same & now I'am running wm6 XM6r3 Rom,Secondly u can use the WST TOOL by Mestrini to verify ur device status, u can even Cid unlock ur device with it, Goodluck

Yup man flashing the T-mobile 2.26 did the job..
Great thanks for the same..

HARD-SPL - working!

I case of people who don´t read 200 post and still brick their device - here is the guide that worked for ALL people with:
HTC P4350
XDA Terra
WING
with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT)
and then follow this:
Default
For me it was working when:
1. install canonyang.cab
2. install aserpolicy.cab
3- install disablesecurity.cab
4. SOFTRESET
5. run RUU from Hard-SPLWM6 folder verison 4.70.yang
6. screen will become white - WAIT until it reboots itselfe.
7. done!
check if SPL now is 4.70.yang
Fore sure: I used this
http://rapidshare.de/files/38148213/HardSpl_WM6.rar.html
mirror: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ot8zsn
It worked for many others, too.
b.mann said:
I've figured my issue out, maybe I can help the others that get the 202 Connection error.
On your device--BEFORE Hard-SPL--go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and check that checkbox.
If it's not checked, most times you will get the 202 Connection error. Hard-SPL and you should be good to go!!

Softreset your Herald and press the Camara butten until you see an Colerd screen it´s the Bootloader. there you will find the IPL and SPL on the screen. softreset your herald without pressing any butten and it will start normely to youre WM. You wont delete any data aslong you nothing Flash.

could you shareyour device information-so that we can see for which device it is working?!

It worked on my:
HTC p4350
It had: WM6 overclocked to 299Mhz (but i let it on Default 201Mhz When I was in de process)
It had de 4mb Page Pool.
Worked great!!! THanks man!

BTW- afteryou have Hard-SPL.
Never use an official RUU with included SPL.nbh (delete this ebfore flashing)
And never use the RUU from Hard-SPL
Allways use the included RUU or take an RUU without SPL.bnh when you onlycan download the ruu_wigned.nbh.

I am waiting from 20 minutes with my phone in white screen mode... is it normal?

it should end after 10 or 15 minutes.
hope you installed all files before and softreset.....

yes all cabs...
during the install of hardspl the ruu install wizard shows a windows with "connection failure" and only an Exit button. I click on it while it is in white mode... I am still waiting...
What should I do? (wainting or reset?)

finally (after 40 minutes of white screen) I softreset with stylus...
It reboots normally as nothing was appened... better then brick.
I will try again later.
THX!

Ok Dude here is your solution ive found it myself after Searching
I will not be liable for Bricking your Device you do this at your own Risk*
First of All Is your Phone CID unlocked?
if it is check to see if you can hard reset if your phone says Format is Failed then here is your fix
First flash factory rom
grab a minisd that is blank *Warning it will Overwrite any card you put in*
enter into bootloader
reset+ camera button
in windows xp
Download mtty
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71806&d=1203597568
Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
run program
set port to
\\.\WCEUSBH001
click OK
*Warning it will Overwrite any card you put in*
type in at CMD>
r2sd all
then press enter
after it finishes reset pda and return back into bootloader mode
reset+ camera button
it will ask if you wish to flash from sd press Voice Command button to accept
after 100% complete reset phone you should be able to get back

hello. thank you for a help. mtty says me You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image. why i do wrong?

Your phone is CID locked,Mtty will not work in this situation. Have you tried a Hard Reset.
Does it display any error message while flashing the official Rom,does it complete flashing or stops with a error message ?
Which windows you are flashing with,WinXP or Vista ?

when hard reser it says me a fat format failed. all sw flash without problem.
Anybody know how this is repair? (sorry for wrong english)

Click to expand...

You cannot CID unlock in the Bootloaders,it has to have a working OS (Rom),try to flash a rom,try these roms,lets hope one of them might work, Button's Rom 1.05 or xda_minis_launch or wizard_love_rom and official rom of your carrier and if there's any sdcard/mini_sdcard inserted in the phone,take it out before flashing,just keep on trying the different roms,its a catch 22 situation,it won't let the rom flash,stuck at splash screen and still it won't get CID unlocked in Bootloaders or use the Mtty method.I can imagine your frustration,but you gotta keep on trying.

i tried Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102,wizard love,button and original rom from cingular. and it freez on boot at all roms,and cannot make a hard reset. what i will doing next?

in this condition phone is not repairable?

YES ! it is repairable,but not free,you'll have to pay for getting the CID unlock code from 'imei-check' uk.They might charge you around 20 or 30 dollars and provide you with a unlocking code,after that you'll be able to flash any Rom,but,here we were trying to get it working free somehow! Anyway, the choice is yours now,but certainly it is repairable,don't loose hope !

It's just a matter of flashing a SoftSPL for G3 and use mtty

Well, I do realize your frustration,but this application still needs to be tested and tried first,as far as I know,it has not been applied and tried yet.
But keep your fingers crossed as I'm,hope it comes out successful,it wud solve this problem of not allowing to "r2sd all" using mtty in CID locked device.

hmm, there's a flaw in my theory: It's necessary to access WinCE (WM) to allow Haret to do it's job
Maybe there's a work around i can think of...
