How to extract ROM

Hi,
I will get a new XDA terra (HTC P4350) in two weeks with WM6 installed. How is it possible to backup the rom ore to extract the rom for porting it to other devices? Or to give it to our ROM cookers? I searched the wiki and tried the OSimage but it even didn´t work on my wizard.
Any suggestion?

probably some things change, as instructions are for Hermes.... but the method with itsutils/pdocread should work.

Sprite Backup is what you are looking for.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/sprite-backup
You can try it out for free. Use Device Upgrade option to restore to a WM6 rom.

As far as i know spritebackup does not do a ROM backup.
We have it and i did not see such possibility.
I was thinking more to dump ROM and modify nb files to create my own ROM after....
to customize it for our company and to flash it on every hermes laters on.

yaa im looking for the same thing
cus if i don't like WM6 i wan't to go back to WM5

WM5 Backup
Mr. Vanx has a walkthrough on how to downgrade from WM6 to WM5. It is pretty easy. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
And your current ROM is probably somewhere in here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades.
So, use Sprite Backup and Mr. Vanx's tutorial and you can go back to your current state.

Aye, you could either 'dump' the current ROM using some of the many tools available here or just do as Larsuck suggests and just go ahead with your ROM change but download a copy of your original ROM before you start, just so you know you've got it safe.
As far as I know, most or all legit ROMs are freely downloadable.

hi Cruzz,
cheers for being the only one to respond, i know there are a lot of panda users who are likely to be following this
the problem for me and probably most others is as follows, i can pull the wm5 rom from my argon, but beyond that i am lost, will any wm6 rom work? and what do i need to keep from the wm5 build.
i admit building the rom is beyond my skill, will try but unlike hexediting an app, i make a mistake i brick my device.
will give your advice a try but can you reccomend a base wm6 rom i could use and also what files do i need to keep?
cheers
Chris

Same situation
I am also currently trying to cook a custom ROM for HTC PAND100.
I have an O2 XDA Argon and am trying to get HTC rom onto it.
although this is beyond my skill level also, the tools supplied by the likes of buzz/pof/etc (sorry for the ppl I missed) make this quite easy
Im am very close to cracking it but need a copy of an O2 rom image.
Is there an easy way to extract the ".nb" files from my device? e.g buzz' tool that dumps a ".bin" file or an easier method?
I have a copy of the HTC RUU and extracted ".nb" files if anyone requires this for comparison/wants to swap sum Panda files.
Cheers people.

rom cooking

hey @ all cookers
i try to cook a original HTC Diamond ROM to a custom ROM
but the problem is that i don´t now what i have to do
can enyone help me?
and excuse my bad english

If you want to make your own custom ROM, you should for starters try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513311
Very easy to use.
However, and I suspect this is what you meant, if you want to upgrade to a ROM someone else has made, look around the Diamond ROM Development for a ROM you like. Download it and run the CustomRUU.exe if included.
Before you do EITHER of these things you MUST read and follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
If you don't follow these instructions to the letter you will brick your phone.
