I was wondering if there is anyway to back up the orginal rom before I flash a new one on?
As in datawise, use PIMBACKUP available in these forums.
Otherwise, if u have the files for the current rom, that is your backup! If its a stock rom, In the upgrade section theres a list of default roms for you, so thats another backup
I've been toying with the idea of putting a cooked rom on my standard kaiser.
My question is if I do so and then decide I dont like the new rom for whatever reason, can I get a copy of the original stock 6.0 version from somewhere to re-install?
Thanks

you will not want to revert, make sure you choose a decent rom to flash, and you will be chuffed to bits,
Is it possible that someone creates a exe file for a new rom install like the official rom install has? I tried to get it done with hardspl but i only got errors en install didn't work. Guess it's not my cup of tea. If someone could make this i would be verry greatfull. Rom should be light.

if you don't flash HSPL on your phone, you can't also flash the modifided rom with a .exe file. The .exe file is only compressed. the whole flashing is also going by the original HTC rom with ruu
The flashing process is no harder than running an exe once Hard SPL is flashed.
Take your time to go through this tutorial and it should all come together : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406

Hey,
i recently had the oportunity to use the so called "1clickroot" App "flashrec" on a stock T-Mobile G1 from Germany. So now i have a nandroid backup of the OTA T-Mobile CRC37 Rom.
When i rooted my G1 i used the "Goldcard" method flashing the DRAMIMG.nbh file. Now i have a G1 with german hard-keyboard layout but with the american SPL, so without the äöü and qwerty instead of qwertz.
I planed to work out a HowTo to revert from a rooted continental european G1 back to the Stock Version including the SPL.
I am now looking for a way to dump some how the SPL of a stock german G1 and flash it back to my Device.
Maybe somebody knows a way to do this or has a update.zip including the german stock SPL.
Thanks!

I'm confused about what you want to do. The SPL has nothing to do with the keyboard layout, it will also be everwritten when reflashing the shipping ROM.
Hey,
i already tried to apply the backuped ROM from the stock Device using cyanogens recovery img. But after starting up the ROM and setting up german interface language the keyboardlayout was still not the german one (y and z switched and no äöü and so on). I had to replace the /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin to get the german keyboard layout. Where does the wrong keyboard layout come from? The dumped img works great on the device it came from with german layout and all the way it has to be.
I thought it has something to do with the SPL, because it's the only thing that ist still changed. Tell me the mistake i have in my understanding.
The G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip shold be still the original one from the device shipped in US, other hardkeyboardlayout i think. correct me if i'm wrong!
Thank you for for your hints!
As far as I know the DRAMIMG.nbh you used can change the SPL, Radio, & Rom. Nandroid dosent backup the Radio or SPL. I dont have any experiance with backup those, but I think the only way to do that is through ADB in fastboot, if anything. Updates, as you know, can be easily applied from the recovery boot.
_-_
If you want to do work, you can always extract it from the original german .nbh file. I not sure if its as easy as rezipping it to update.zip... thats over my head for now. Looks like I got some more research to do myself now lol.....
That's the point! There is no german *.nbh file out there as far as i know, so i can't use it. If it where, through goldcard there would be no problem to revert back to stock for german devices.
I am just wondering how i could go back to the stock SPL and how to get the german hard keyboard layout back without changing the trout file every time.
thx
Unless you find the SPL or .nbh file somewhere, your only other option is to find another G1 with the stock SPL, and extract it.
cyanogen mentioned something about this in at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4209412#post4209412
"I think you need to dump all of mtd6ro and extract radio/spl by hand if you need to. Nandroid doesn't touch either of them."
I havent finished reading through all the pages, but you might find out how to there. Im sure theres a thread somewhere, or you can pm cyanogen or another dev for instructions.
I'm tired of using all these different cooked ROMS' and each of them have a different problem...some are slow...some are buggy...or maybe it's just my stupid phone/T-Mobile network...or all because it's Microsoft WIndows.
In any case, I'd try going back to Son'y original ROM, is there a way to do that?

hmmm...
you don't know the power of the dark side
...or you have not flashed the pure SEX1 R5
Hi! Yes you may install the stock ROM same way you've been installing the Cooked ROM's.
Just Find the original stock one in this Forum's ROM Section (it is a Sticky).
If you use the sdcard method is more simple. After finding the stock Rom xxx.nbh file, just rename it to "Kovsimg.nbh".
Hope this helps.
I just did the same 2 days ago. You can find the stock WM 6.1 Roms HERE.
And as said just rename the image file to Kovsimg.nbh and flash it like any other Rom.

Is it now? I waited one year 'til my warranty expires and now that it's 8 days over I'm seeing this. hehehe. by any chance, is this reverting back to original rom will really re-virginize your Xperia? Re-virginize as in Nintendo Wii re-virginize?. Just wanna be sure though.
Hi, I have a question … I'm still running WM6.1 with a stock R3AA010 ROM. I'm considering installing one of the WM6.5 ROMs (gtrab's SEX1 R5 BareBone ROM). To do this I need to install the HardSPL, I know. If I want to go back to the stock ROM will R3AA010 install using the HardSPL or do you have to re-install the Stock-SPL. If so how do you do that? I'm sorry if these are noob questions, but the guides aren't absolutely clear on this point - or maybe its I'm a little thick

If you've Hard-SPL and put a custom ROM in but want to change to an official rom, just download the rom and flash as you would a custom rom.
You don't have to put Stock-SPL if you don't want to. But if you someday wanna leave it in for repair etc, then you will have to put Stock-SPL on it, for guarantee reasons.

Thanks for the clarification dogans. So just to be clear, if I revert from a custom ROM back to a stock ROM the Stock-SPL isn't installed as part of the process. You have to install it afterward, just as you do with the Hard-SPL - Yes?
As far as i know, the HardSPL cant' be overridden by a usual stock ROM. You have to manual flash the original SPL.
Using a stock ROM with HardSPL isn't a problem, but i can't tell you how to get the original stock SPL back if you did _not_ back it up before (thats what i did -.-).
Maybe someone can tell me how to do this, would be very nice

Correct. Stock-SPL isn't included in stock ROM.
You will have to flash that separately.

have you tried to go in bootloader mode (3-color-screen) turn phone off. Than press vol down button and camera button until you see a 3 color screen, then you you can put in your USB cable and flash a rom you like the same way you did it with the android rom.
