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

Hey guyz.
I have made a rom upgrade to the new v3 dutty, I'm really happy with it, although I forgot that I wont be able to restore the backup + my conacts gonna go missing. I do have a backup from my phone, what do you think, is there any way to actually restore or somehow get out my contacts from that backup?
I'm with tmobile uk, that was the original rom.
Thanks a lot.
Might be better to restore the original rom, restore the backup and then use a pim backup to backup just the contacts.
i c. any idea where could i get the original tmobile rom???
many thanks
You'll have to do a search on that one if you didn't do a dump or your ROM prior to flashing another ROM.
Didnt you sync your contacts with your PC (with Outlook)?
No, I dont use outlook, so i dont have a sync. I tried to backup explorer from sprite, although I couldnt find the contact file - where it is stored. I wouldnt mind to put back the original tmobile rom, although I couldnt find it anywhere. Please all tmobile uk users if you could post your rom here, it would be nice, or u guyz know a link...
THanks
try Here for the ROM
Hope it helps!
Hi guys,
Kinda noob since diamond is my first ppc phone..
i am interested to flash to 1.37 as it seems to fix a few dreaded bugs like memory leak.. however cant seem to find a noob guide on in the forums
few questions
1) what are the common programs used to flash the rom?
2) After flashing the rom, all settings would be back to default?
I understand that i can use sprite backup to backup the settings
but can it still work after rom upgrade?
If so, after restoring the Rom using sprite, would it be back to the old rom version OR new rom version but previous settings?

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,
I usually run Duttys 6.1 Hybrid V2 w/Cube ROM, but ofcourse like to try other cooked ROMs just to see what the other cooks are working on. My question is restoring after flashing back to my regular ROM and restoring via SPB Backup vs restoring by Sashimi (which I have not used yet) or just reinstall everything by hand (we all know that SUSKS). Which is the better way to restore? Is there anything bad about restoring via SPB backup after flash? Thanks, Kevin
Depending out you are trying to back up you shouldn't use a back up program to back up from one ROM to another ROM. The back up should only be with the same ROM some people do it but IMO it is a bad idea.
Look at using UC complaint ROMS and you pretty much make your ROM flash exactly the way you want it to. Here is a link that explains it.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I am NOT restoring to different ROM, only restoring to the same ROM that the BU is built from. I should probably study up on Sashimi a that way I can rebuild all my apps regardless of flashed ROM. Thanks for the reply and Link. Kevin
Is there a way to back up my current rom that is on the phone so that i could re-use it if i need to revert back to it. For example i flash a different rom and want to get back to my old one.
Current ROM...
There is a way to dump your current ROM, but you'll have to search the forums for that. You could always do what I did and download the official ROM from HTC, or your network provider, then flash that back if you need to.
