Dumping ROM for later reflash? - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hello
I have an original ROM from my operator (Orange) with WM5. Unfortunately they have not yet put a ROM on their Website.
Now i want to test the WM6 ROM for Artemis, but: I want to be able to go back to my original ROM if needed.
So is there any possibility to dump the ROM (and Radio) anywhere, so that I can reflash it with it?
Is there any manual for that available?
Thanks
Sven

from experience
it will be a bit more complex to get back to wm5
once you get wm6, wm5 will looks 'ugly' for you
upgrade once you ready!
== as a reply of your question ==
you can find it in the wiki xda developers just run a search

German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:
Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.
The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers
Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you
Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers
uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.
Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.
A ROM also includes the WM language.
Maybe this topic helps:

Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:
Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.
Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.
German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud
yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post
I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..

Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.
I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

Reverting from New iMate ROM

Can someone help me please.
Like many I was anxiously waiting for the new ROM for my KJam because of A2DP. As soon as it was on the iMate site I flashed my device only to find out that it wasn't included.
Based on experience I figure it will be months before iMate do a new release, so I'm kinda stuck, or am I?
iMate say that I cannot go backwards after having loaded the new ROM, but I read in the forum that maybe it is possible. (I didn't have the foresight to backup my old ROM to SD though).
What I want to do now, if I can, is load up the test Qtek WWE Rom from the FTP site. The feedback there suggests it works well, so I am willing ot try it, if it means I will get A2DP.
Can anyone advise me how to do that (if I can).
Thanks all.
As far as I know you can reflash your rom with any rom. As long as it is divice compateable.
Im fairly new to this.
So find the one you want on this forum or the wiki and reflash the same way you did the last one.
I have run about 3 differnet ROMs on my UNI up to now. I find the latest imate rom very stable.
I have rolled back to the O2 rom currently as I want to play with the extended rom on the o2 rom and put it into the exetended rom on imate.
Again I forgot to back it up.

Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean
I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?
you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.
1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.
-Mc
p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.
alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.
I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.
wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA

Rom 1.31.00 Wwe?

Hi, I would like to upgrade my device to WM6, but I want to be able to downgrade to my current ROM that I know works.
Where can I find this ROM to download?
If I can't get it, where can I get the tool to dump my own ROM (The link from the BlueAngel wiki is dead), and will it be easy to put it back on my XDA IIs?
Thanks,
RMSe17
happy new year!
but still the same old answer! READ THE WIKI!

Upgrade for DELL AXIM X50 to WM6

Hello.
I am new on the forum and I am French. I heard a lot about you so I come to join has you.
I have a problem with my DELL AXIM X50 (520 Mhz, 64 RAM, 128 ROM). I have many article on WM6 for X50V but for mine...
So, I would like to know if it is possible to instal a ROM WM6 for my X50 or possibly if it is not possible, the upgrader with a ROM more successful than the 2003.
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.
Anybody to help me?
Give me a rom dump of a X50(mid) running the WM5 A02 rom, and I will make a WM6 rom.

hey steven, can you provide some links and instructions on how to do a rom dump?
I, myself can't give good instructions on doing a rom dump but the download threads can. You can use the Grab_it program to dump the rom, fount at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945. The instructions are on the download page too. If those instructions don't work try the ones from aximsite found at http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/112267-tutorial-how-create-your-own-flash-images-your-axim.html. Try the 128mb version first with both instructions (2nd set of instructions only if the first one doesn't work). If you do have to you use the aximsite instructions, only follow the steps that pertain to the rom dump. If it gives you errors both times, use the 1st set of instructions again and check the sd card for a dump file. When you get the dump, upload it somewhere on the internet and give me the link. This is open to anyone with an X50(mid first) running the WM5 A02 rom image. Just do a hard reset first and then do the dump (dumping the rom will not hurt your axim). If you have any questions, feel free to post back.
Axim X50(mid) ROM
I have an Axim X50(mid) with WM5 A02 rom on it now. I will have the opportunity in a week or two to hard reset it and dump the stock ROM. I have just downloaded the grab-it 128MB version. If I get a good dump, how can I get it to you? If I get it to you can you roll a WM6 or better WM6.1 ROM for the X50(mid)? I am willing to use my device as a test platform (I have bricked it and unbricked it twice so development doesn't scare me).
Thank you very much for your help! But I do not understand everything that it is necessary to make. I am French and I have difficulty in understanding everything.
Tell ya what, once I get a working WM6 rom in English, I will get in contact with Makuu (he does have lots of experience with french roms) to help me make a french version for X50(mid).
OK!
It is great! Thank you for the good new
I looks forward.
Could you send to me a private e-mail when you will have news?
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.
