ROM backup.
Hi,
You can backup ROM, if you wish with new itsme utilities.
But it will be no use for it, because when you flash, SPL checks for digital certificate of the ROM. If it is not there, flashing won't work.
To summarize-no practical use of backed up ROM.

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.

hot to test the roms

i am very interested to test out the english rom 1.37 to see if it is really faster. but i want to be able to go back to my own rom. (dutch)
so could the people that have done this give some links to information about:
1. how to back-up and restore your own rom
2. which hardspl works (or is it not needed)
3. personalize your diamond to your language (t9, automatic network settings etc)
i know that the threads are out there, but this way, we can use the knowledge from the people that have done it with their diamond.

i also had the dutch rom, but i upgraded it to the english rom, can verry recommend that. T9 is working in dutch but you need to add some rules to your registry

Which English version did you take? The UK one (405) or the Asian one? (707)

i do have the same question , but my main concern is the warranty. If I make a backup of my original ROM using hard SPL and flash it to a custom firmware . Do I still have my warranty if I restore the original ROM ? Will HTC can track my flash activity on my device ?

Yes, you can install an unofficial ROM using USPL!
It's hard to recommend a specific ROM, since every ROM has advantages and disadvantages. But in your case I would suggest Dutty's newest ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498326) for the following reason: You already have a 1.56 ROM installed, which means you already have SPL 1.54. If you wanted to install a ROM that is still SPL 1.14, you would have to downgrade first! Flashing Dutty's ROM would be much easier!!!

hm
I just tryed Dutty's newest ROM, but my phone is not updaing! standing on 0% in a long time! so i had to go in recover modus
Whats wrong, when its not updating like that?

Good question... there are many things that could be causing this kind of behaviour!
Did you use USPL to flash to Dutty's ROM? (By the way: Dutty's 2.8 is out already
You have to download USPL and run it when your device is connected in bootloader mode. If it works, it should say "USPL" behind your version number, no longer just "SPL". Then try to flash!

Closed:
1st this is the themes and applications thead, not the ROM thread.
2nd. Which ROM is the best threads are not condoned (subjective, and flamebait).

How can i save my current rom / os

The reason because i ask is, that i want to try WM6.5, so i will go on.
Is it possible to save all data on my phone and to restore it, if i decide to want to switch back to my current state rom with all messages / programms and so on from WM6.1
Help, suggestions, "anything" is welcome, feel free to answer.

sprite data backup does full back ups. SK Tools also has backups. Microsoft Myphone backs up all data, but not ROM info.
I would suggest going a different route tho, because restoring your ROM from a backup could cause issues. Back up your files only (text, pictures, contacts, etc) with Microsoft MyPhone. When you relfash your new rom, just log into myphone and download the information back to your phone. Also, another way to speed up the flashing process is to use XDA UC, which can silently re-install new programs after you flash your ROM.

what IS your current rom? is it stock?
More info would be nice.
If it is a stock rom that is already here then it shouldn't be a problem to go back, but if not, you'll have to dump the rom...

#1 My current rom is the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom from o2 (live in germany)
#2 What u mean by Stock?
#3 @ More Info, i can free download a newer Windows Mobile Version - 6.5 - i think its a "providerabused" version - Link: o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/htctouchpro2/htc-touch-pro2.html *can't post functionally link :<*
#4 What u mean by "shouldn't be a problem to go back" i thought that when i install WM6.5 that i loose my WM6.1, could you please tell me more about to restore the WM6.1 if i don't like the WM6.5?
#5 "you'll have to dump the rom..." Could you explain more?
Sorry that im not so experienced on that term, im an it guy, but this is new to me.
Would it be better to use an HTC WM6.5 instead of an o2 version?

When they are asking if it's a stock rom, that means have you flashed a new operating system on it (ie custom rom). Sounds like you haven't so you have the stock rom on there. When they say it shouldn't be a problem to go back, they mean you can always load the original rom that came with your phone, so give 6.5 a shot, and see how you like it. You can use microsoft myphone to backup your data. I use spb backup, but it's not free.
Personally, I would suggest you use a "cooked" rom by someone on here. As far as suggestions, just check out the rom section. Can't really say one is better than the other. Just back up your data, and flash away. Like I said, you can always load the original rom that came with your phone. Once you use a custom rom, you won't want to go back to the stock one. Hope this helps.

How can i do that?

The stock roms from all the versions of the TP2 are available here in the forums, along with all the cooked/aftermarket ones. You can flash back to an earlier version of a stock ROM (like the o2 6.1 ROM) just like flashing to a newer stock (or cooked) one. In fact, you can switch official ("signed by HTC") ROM's without having to use HardSPL first...you only need that when you start to use cooked ROMs.

Is there a generel Toolsetup that i need?
Or is it simply a EXE that will do all on my phone by it self?
Other thing, is it whise to use custom oder cooked roms? i always think about securty in that term, so i dont want to keylog my data to anyone or, getting psycho if im think that, there could be software like trojans or keyloggers included.

XDA has wiki's and stickies for a reason. No offense, but you sound way to green to be doing anything without first doing a LOT of reading. Go to the Rhodium/Roms sub-forum and start reading ALL the wiki's and stickies. I'd suggest reading the ones in THIS sub-forum also. Once you have done this, and understand terminology as well as the device, then I'm sure it will be much easier to come back to this thread and understand what we are all suggesting to you. Good luck.
