Has anyone used the ROM upgrade feature in Sprite Backup? I am currently using KTamas' RC 1.0 version of if AKU 3.2 ROM and am thinking of downgrading to Molski's 2.26 ROM (unless he comes up with a AKU 3.2 ROM before I do so) and was wondering if I can simply restore using Sprite's ROM upgrade restore process or whether that will cause any problems.
Thanks.
I've never heard of anybody doing it, but it's a great idea. You could just make sure to back eveyrthing up and be a guinea pig. I'd appreciate you informing us of how it works.

I may just do that but will wait a few days to see if any other AKU 3.2 ROM's come out prior to taking the plunge.
I used it to upgrade from AKU2 to AKU 3. It works flawlessly, except for the restore of the PIM data, as the structure is different. So restore without the PIM and e-mail databases and sync with outlook, as the data are there anyhow.

Can someone please help me, I am going to upgrade my O2 XDA 11s from ROM 1.31 to 1.40 imate Rom with extended ROM.
Do I need to backup a special way so I dont lose any files when I restore my backup after upgrading to 1.40.
Please go to wiki, the for beginners section, you will find a answer there.

i just upgraded my iis with the imate rom as well. personally, skype works a lot, and i mean A LOT better than it used to. i think it is mostly attributed to the upgrade of the radio.
Update successful

Hi,
I find Ivan v4 R2.1 is a damn good ROM. so i upgraded.
now before i jump around and make another upgrade, i am wondering what is the best way to backup WM5 ROM off my O2 XDA IIs, so if i decide to go back to Ivan v4 R2.1 I dont have to reload all softwares i have installed there?
regards,
imatrix
hey man, you can try this
Sprite Backup 5.10 pre-release Build 1417
jamex,
i wanna a total backup of radio and actual rom. i dont think sprite can do that can it ?
imatrix
oh sorry, i got the wrong way
You can not backup radio rom, but you can flash another version without losing information
Hi people, Im new here,
My name is Mike and I have just bought an O2 xdaIIs and love it. I am wondering about upgrades for it. What would you recommend? All the details are in my sig (i think)
Any help appreciated

u can try helmi_c aku3.2 which is the latest rls, very fast and stable. it's a very nice ROM. there is some issue with BlueTooth, but the rest is all good.

Hi Mike,
visit http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel and browse through forum. U know we cant give u any advice if we dont know what are u looking for (any problems,discontent?)
You can upgrade to the latest version of wm2003se (see the wiki) and than consider if u wanna upgrade to wm2005.
i'd say enjoy your unit using wm2003se for a while.
and when the time comes that you are looking for some more, then go for wm5... and the latest radio version.... it would seem like you have a new phone altogether.
I would take a call depending on the way you use your phone. How much of bluetooth you use, how much of wifi, do you use a stereo headset, do you use a GPS attachment, what kind of applications you run etc. Please note that if you go through the the complete threads of a particular post helmi 1.3 or 1.2 or 1.1 you will come to know the advantages and drawbacks of upgrading and can then take a wise call.
Hope this Helps

Dear Sir,
I'm running Ivan V4R3, may i know which is faster if compare with helmi_c aku3.2. And as my know helmi is pre-install some program, can u specfily. Thanks!
Ivans rom with ramdisk is very stable and fast wm5 version, and i lie it a lot, but AKU updates fixes many bugs in the OS and Security of the mobile device, so i prefer latest AKU 2.3, 3.0 3.2 roms.
The best way to get your rom to fit your needs is to build a custom one with Bepe's ktchen
@Mike
First i want to welcome you to the forums, you will learn a lot here as i did!
First step that you have take is to read WIKI, a lot of stuff is explained there. For you there are 2 possible types of roms, WM2003SE or WM5. By mine personal opinion the best roms by now are Ivans v4 r3 with ramdisk, and Helmi's 1.3 AKU 3.2 roms. You can try and decide for yourself.
Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you
helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.
well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course
Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx
Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.
Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!
an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long
Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.
youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!
well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.
is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!
Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
Could someone point me in the direction of how to backup the current WM5 ROM image from my Treo 750?
With the coming release of WM6 I would like to have some way of having a copy of WM5 incase I would want to go back.
Thanks.
u can find
it"s easy www.palm .com sprite backup
You don't really need to create an image, you can get an official ROM from Palm. Since there has been an official update for WM5 devices before WM6 came out

Where is this official ROM on Palm's site? I have never seen one.
It does exist
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14995.2.3.2)
Firmware version: 1.12.0c.00
It has been removed from the Palm site, but it has to be available on serveral sites I guess
