can we back up the ROM? - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

dear all:
i have a question and need xda fans to help me.
can we back up a ROM, i mean, i got my x1 repaired and as default i have now windows 6.1, i want to flash a new Rom but i want to have a back up for this 6.1 windows.
so is there a way???
if yes, HOW???
Thanks all for your help and kind respond.

it's all in the stickies, no need to start a new thread
to backup your current rom read Angelusz thread and as you recently restored your device for warranty reasons you already know about stock roms/spl and where to get them
so I fail to see your problem
cheers

10x for your help

restoring a bricked phone

any ideas.......read all the threads here, nothing works.
i had the 1.7 orange version. hardspl'd it and put a 6.5 dev on there, but radio quality was poor. so followed the procedure to put the stockspl back on there. But nothing else works, I can't restore the original rom (grabbed from here) as the screen stays at 0%. tried to hardspl it again but that doesn't work either.
what do i do now .........?
thanks.
Was restoring the stockspl succesfull?
What info do you get in bootloader?
The info is:
JADE110 64M
SPL-1.40.0000

Am afraid you have a problem, you should have down it the other way around...first stock ROM then stock SPL.....but this is merely a fact then helping you out, i have absolutely no clue how to go from here...sorry!
Maybe someone who can offer some practical assistance will be along soon ......
@Nirak: yes, I misread it. What a silly thing to do. Do you think HTC can help. The phone is in warranty.
Well, since you've got stock SPL on it you could give it a try. When they start asking questions you could say you tried to install a WM 6.5 ROM by accident.., dunno if they buy it...
But on the other hand, being honest is maybe better, they might just help you out or else you have to pay, but since you have a rather expensive paperweight right now, this might be an option too.
BTW.. did you try to contact one of the releasers of the HardSPL? (Cmonex or Olipro), you never know where they can come up with....
May be they will see this thread. .... otherwise how can I contact them?
Thanks for the ideas.

Doesn't work because it needs a functioning windows mobile, which I don't have. Mine gets stuck.

Yes, nothing happens. The screen is stuck at 0%. I tried using a htc original rom, it got to 1% and said something like not suitable for this device.
I sure this sounds rather silly ,and I am sure you have tried it,have you tried removing the battery and then putting it back again.
Not sure if you tried this already:
Run HardSPL when your phone is in tricolor mode (bootloader?).
Then reflash a stock ROM, also in tricolor mode.
Finally, flash stock SPL.
Hope this helps.
@izzysc: I have tried it (will try again though) in running HardSPL when phone is in tricolor mode. It did not work.

ABOUT ROM backup

I want to upgrade my X1's ROM but I'm afraid if it's fail.
Is there any way to back up my ROM so if the upgrade wasn't success I can revert it back?
If it has been posted before, please let me know plz
Have never been beaten,don't be afraid,it is not hard to flash ROM
yinjianweizxc,
I'm just afraid. I got this nightmare when I was 'like' flashing my iPhone and it's not going well and I couldn't restore it back. The moderator who make the restore never answer my Question. After 2 months, I have to give up.
I just didn't the same nightmare happen to me.
And I'm still looking for a clean (with X1 standart 3rd applications) ROM 6.5.3 (without HTC Sense or anything that is not originally from SE).
Can you help to show me?

[Q] hopeless n00b is hopeless

I just bought a used GSM factory touch pro 2 from a guy. It's been hacked with some sort of rom from XDA.
- Can someone please point me into the right direction to throw back on the stock wm 6.1 or 6.5 with TouchFlo3d.
I know NOTHING about this stuff as you can tell, but am willing to give it a shot to try and boot the stock rom back onto the phone (if that makes any sense).
If it helps. i already have 'co0kie's Home Tab Editor, which I don't know how to use/don't need. and I have total commander already on my phone.
thanks in advance for any help - I really do appreciate it. I've been wanting one of these phones since they came out last year and I just want the stock ROM ( boring, I know.. but I'm not confident enough with this kind of stuff).
Cheers

Everyone has to start somewhere...
read this post: [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)
it is a sticky so will be at the top of this forum section.
Since you already have a custom rom and therefore hardSPL you just need to follow step 3. Dont worry about flashing a new radio (step 4) unless you want to.
Thanks mrj
I just found out that I have a SEA version of the phone after blindly luckily stumbling upon the sea version of htc's website for the stock ROM. I can't seem to sync the phone and windows mobile for my pc thought. But I will follow those steps you have laid out for me. Thanks again mrj
Cheers
Try a hard reset on your phone and reinstall the activesync software on the PC, otherwise you can try to flash via SD card (I think) I never actuallly tried it.
I always flash thru via sd card since i am on the go most of the time. You would have to go to HTC to get the stock rom for TP2 but if your looking for roms in specific country then have to check here in XDA or HTC. good luck with the search if you need info we can help

Help~Restoring back to Window Mobile 6.1

Help all, im flashing my htc blackstone to window mobile 6.5 and found that many things are not function like camera and etc. Moreover, i have been found tht the respond are damn slow, this make me decided to restore it back all to original window mobile 6.1 by using Hard Reset but its failed. anyone can help me? my rom is the older version rom of 1.14 and i cant flash to 1.56 at all or else the colour of the screen are freaking uncomfortable. any one here please help me with this. im a newbie only so i hope got any guidance for me to flash my rom to window mobile 6.5 with a more complete version. Thx~
hi, an hard reset is intended only for restoring default option of the last flashed rom.
I suggest you to read the dummy guide for flahing.
You need the stock shipped rom for your touch hd. You can find it in the wiki section.
Then you have to flash that rom to restore your blackstone to "factory settings".
Bye,
Nicola

To flash a wm6.5 rom you need to put HSPL or USPL on your device first. If you want a rom based on 1.56 you'll need HSPL 1.56. If you want a rom based on 1.14 you'll need HSPL 1.14
Check out this thread for a step-by-step guide

[Q] A little advise need here - Flash

Hello guys,
First of all i would like to thank you folks for doing this job for people like me. XDA is a great developer thread!
I recently (about a week ago) purchased a new Sony Xperia X1 and thanks to XDA i installed Android on the device. The flashing went perfect, no issues.
Recently i got some errors regarding the Android software so i wanted to flash back the WM stock, and here is where is f... up.
I downloaded all the tools, SPL , stock rom and stuff and accidentaly flashed the original SPL before the stock rom. So now i`m stuck with Android and the original SPL. I searched for 3 hours now how to get past this but i feel like there is no answer. Maybe you guys you can help me out. I would really like to get back to stock rom maybe you could help me.
Thank you for your posts in advice!

Solution
I managed to work out.
All you need to do is to flash a STOCK rom. This will get back your phone to original state, then you can HARDSPL and flash a custom rom.
This can be a solution for those who has 262/260 error or img file flashing stuck at 0% or "Loading".
Here is an image i could find after several hours of searching:
[Later-i cant post it yet because i`m a new user. PRV Me for the link]
I hope it helps somebody.
no need hspl
