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.

It fails at the Imate screen .. never gets to the os. I presume it failing somehow loading that up.

i too want sd backup of k jam
my email address is
[email protected]
plz send it to me

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

I have a qtek9100 with same problem, can someone send me a backup?
It´s really urgent... pls send me to [email protected]
Much appreciated

Herald ROM on Wizard

I assume that in hardware there are not more differences between Herald and Wizard than between Charmer and Prophet.
So what problems will I have if I flash only OS part of Herald ROM to my Wizard (except missing camera and another keyboard layout)

I thing it will not work/boot
I have tryed on wizard charmer ROM and it freeze on splash screeen.
You can try it. If you will flash only OS part, you will NOT change your device into a brick i mean

i have posted same thing about month ago but i still dont flashed my spv... if wizards rom work on prophet?
only os will not brick wizard - thats for sure

yep,
If you don`t flashing IPL and SPL (bootloader) - You can`t brick your phone..
Wizard ROM works on Prophet? Really? It is incredible

Can't?

I asked ANOTHER question:
Wizard is QWERTY PDA Phone
Herald is QWERTY PDA Phone
Prophet is PDA Phone? It's "keyboardless", and it's another story
There is no official AKU3.x ROM for Wizard, but Herald is official "AKU3.x device" and i suppose that in hardware these models are quite similar.. So maybe there is no need to use cooked AKU3.x ROMs and i can use Herald's OS

It is possible to flash Wizard's ROM to Prophet. But you should change some drivers.
yesterday i try to flash modified herald's rom to my wizard.
After that i saw these on my splash screen:
IPL:2.26
SPL:2.26
GSM:2.25.11
(blank)
OS: 1.20
My wizard didn't boot, so i reflashed it back to my AKU3.2.1. If i have more free time, ill try once more to prepare heralds rom for wizard

HELP WRONG UPGRADE dopod 838 radio rom

I just finishing upgarde radio rom of my dopod 838 with cingular radio rom
btw after finishing & restart the device, they can't going up to the windows mobile system, and still runnting at booting mode with cingular booting picture.
also i cant see the radio rom version at boot screen, did they lost?
then I ask to the servcie centre at my place, they say my dopod must be buy a new dopod mainboard $300 US. and chenge them
Did the service centre haven't hardware/software installer for repairing my dopod?

Well you will find that if you use a Radio that has not been made for you phone, it could do alot of damage. So you may find that the service centre is right!

If you used one of the Radio Only Roms then the splash screen would not have changed.
Download and flash one of the Roms for your exact Device & Carrier.
Then find the sticky post on Radio Only Roms and download and flash the one you want.
Problem solved.

First, if you have a Cingular Splash Screen then you used the wrong Rom since you only wanted the Radio updated.
Here is the thread for the Radio Only Roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268031
Second, the problem is not that your device is locked but rather that the Cingular Rom reports version 2.25 which is higher than the two Dopod Roms (2.19 English & 2.23 Chinese).
What you need to do:
Download one of the Radio Only Roms (from the above link). Extract the contents to a folder on your PC.
Download the desired Dopod Rom Upgrade Utility from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
Change the file extension to from .exe to .rar and then extract "nk.nbf" file to the folder from step 1 (overwrite the existing file).
Enter Bootloader Mode (Press Voicedial button + comms manager button + soft reset. You will get a screen with 3 colored bars).
Connect your phone to PC with USB Cable.
Run "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
Let us know if you get it fixed.

Yes
thanks All

Sounds like you flashed your G4 device with an incorrect ROM.
Have you followed the step by step instructions on upgrading (and recovering) a G4 device found in the sticky on page one?

yes i have and it anit my 1st time to flash my wizard but it was a bad rom coz from 2day the one who gave it to me said that it is colabssing with him and he flashed another rom but i was all ready ****ed up

Please post the current IPL/SPL version.
Have you tried reflashing the original factory ROM (from the Carrier your CID belongs to!)?

startup picture in Energy ROM!

hello guys
I used the rom EnergyROM but not very good for me,so I'm flashing the rom from rRedux After Flashing this rom picture remains the EnergyRom
My question is How I erase this picture from startup...i dont like
thnx for answer please

I have had this same problem for a couple of months now with the TPC Elite Series screen. I have flashed at least 8 ROMs since, including 5 EnergyROMs, but the bootscreen will not change for anything.

Did you try to flash the splash screen? Some ROMs come only with the pure ROM, others with the radio rom & the splash screen, like HTC original. I installed a prog that manipulated the design of my ROMeOS2 and get a boot screen from bauners ROM ...
Search for flashing splash screen here...
