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

ROM flash gone wronge! help!

I was upgrading my t-mobile 8150(?) the k-jam with the new windows mobile 6 and in the middle of it my comp crashed!! now i am stuck at the bootloader mode (3 colored screen) and when i try to redo it i get to 99% and get a 302 error message. i follow the instructions given but keeps going in circles. its a G3 so is my phone bricked or is there a way to save it? i've been looking at this site all day but am now just more confused. lol thanks for your help!

No your phone isn't bricked. As long as you can get into the bootloader screen you should be ok. What you need to do is flash an official carrier rom either tmobile 2.26 or wizard love rom after you that than you can reflash to wm6. look at the stickies in the wizard forums that is where you can find these roms.

Thanks for the info but seems my techno curse continues. I tried the wizard love rom but it was in a different language and whem i tried the tmobile 2.26 i got "error 274 connection." Any more suggestions? Again thanks soo much for an issue I'm sure has been posted here a thouand times.

This happens to me all the time. I always use the Cingular 2.25 rom, it works perfectly and I have an I-mate K-JAM. Then, do the WM6 upgrade, but ensure all of your Norton and Antivirus and background running apps are shut down. Good luck.

yes also take out your mini sd card if you have one. even though its in another language it will work. "AVANTI means next. so just keep hitting that and you will be fine.

hmm been trying to d/l the Cingular 2.25 rom but the link seems to have stoped working...

It;s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllliiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! for now lol Lets see what happens after i install wm6 I couldn't get the cingular rom but i had already dowbloaded the button rom i found here earlier and it worked like a dream!! quick and easy!! thank you all soooooo much!

hi all. one more little thing. after adding the new rom to get it back to life, now the numbers don't match so i can't upgrade to wm6. i have ipl 1.01 spl 2.26. advice?

flash to the tmo 2.26 or cingular 2.25...that will give you an IPL/SPL of 2.xx
then, you can flash to WM6

i want to delete this message. can't find a way to do it.

there's any other way to flash without usb cable?? sorry to bug in this thread but i lost my usb connection somehow and did a hard reset and still doesn't work. my phone charges. and no is not my computer cuz my wifes phone same as mine does sync i have a tmobile mda also known as the cingular 8125.

keep reflashing buttons rom until both ipl/spl are the same number. if they are different, then the flash didn't complete correctly. (it happens often, so it's kinda normal). just keep reflashing. after both ipl/spl are the same, then CID unlock and then update to an official carrier...then flash a wm6.

can anyone help me??

Check if "USB" displayed when in bootloader mode (Camera+reset) with Wizard connected to PC.
If so, you may try to flash another ROM through bootloader.

Lost Bootloader on G3 - Any Ideas?

Folks
WM5 (wizard love) is working, but can't see the storage card, phone shuts down sometimes, wifi doesn't work anymore and etc...
I should reflash another rom, but I can't see the bootloader screen anymore (just see a black screen when try to enter bootloader mode)
Any ideas ?
-----------
Vario MDA g3
ipl 2.26
spl 3.08
Cid locked

Well, it's impossible to "lose" your bootloader. Your phone wouldn't be working otherwise.
Can you be a bit clearer on you mean?

I can't see bootloader, can't make it appear on the screen (pressing camera on boot)
When I try flash any rom thru WM5, it becomes black when bootloader should be working...

Well, let's forget the bootloader for a moment.
The core issue is that you really need to get an updated ROM on your phone. First thing to do is remove your SD card. Then connect through Activesync and try flashing another ROM.
Try that and report back.

Nice idea , I`ll try it.
Do you think storage card is causing some error on bootloader?

Quite possible. It's been known to cause issues.

It worked!
Now I see the bootloader!
(just take off the mini sd card pressing camera on boot, and I see the bootloader screen now)
Now I'll try reflash something
I never could install WM6 yet, my ipl is 2.26 and my SPL is 3.08.
What should I flash first?
Thx for the bootloader help!

Glad to help. Just follow these instructions, if you haven't already. Then pick a WM6 version that looks and sounds good to you. You may even want to try flashing a few different versions to see what you works best for your needs.

After flash thousand times, in order:
launch rom, t-mobile 2.26 and wm6
I could never succeed!
I've heard something different this link you post from some guys in this forum, that`s because I'm looking for a comprehensive help. Do you think SPL 3.08 will be a problem to me?

It just sounds like you're not unlocked. Follow the instructions CLOSELY in that link to unlock first.

8125 bootloader stuck

ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up

Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.

post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?

ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.

If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)

lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!

May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.

Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?

Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?

Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.

Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.

I Think I just Bricked my AT&T Tilt

Uhh......yea......I was trying to upgrade my Rom to Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588. I was using the instructions from Flash-Your-Tilt . I got to Step 4 CID-Unlock it installed 100% rebooted and then nothing. Now the phone will only play the intro with no sound, then go black. It shows in the lower right hand R 1.70.02iNex, G25.65.30, D1.62.00.00. The phone will allow me to do a hard reset but after it it goes through the intro with screen alignment and installs the extra apps, it reboots and then goes black. I did a ton of reading through the wiki's if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me if its toast, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Be strong. I think it's only bricked when you can't power it on.
I have a poor net connection and not time atm. So a suggestion if you haven't already, search the forum for the word bricked. I'm sure this has happened before..
There are several tricks that people know so you might be ok. good luck.

Flash an OEM Rom/Radio Combo. Also it wont hurt if you already CID unlocked to to go ahead and flash a new SPL to it. Should fix any and all issues as your phone is still actually booting and Not bricked

Installing windows the 6.1 ROM from HTC's site worked. Thank you very much for the great advice. If I wanted to now put Dutty's ROM on my phone can I go straight to that, or do I need to restart the whole ROM flashing process(installing Jump SPL, Hard SPL and CID) ?

If you have unlocked it, just put duttys onto the SD card and rename the .nbh to KAISIMG.nbh
Put the phone into bootloader and install Its the fastest most successful method. No worry about a data cable coming out mid flash ( happened once to me....not fun )
Shouldnt have to install hardspl again ( or use JumpSPL )
Just make sure that if you are installing a WM6.0 rom that you have a WM6.0 radio. If not, the flashing process for the radio is the same ( rename to KAISIMG.nbh )

Is there a way to see if I the hard SPL install and CID unlock worked ? Can I just restart the whole process regardless. Sorry for the noob questions.

Go into bootloader. If your screen says hardspl somewhere near the top then you're good to go. Check which version because you can have radio problems if you use a WM6.0 spl with a WM6.1 rom. Most recent roms are WM6.1 so try HardSPL 3.29 or higher.
If you don't have hardspl, get it here for wm6.0 roms or here for wm6.1 roms.

many thanks, your advice with the links were invaluable. I read and read and read, but i guess i did not read enough. This site rocks.
