Backing up old ROM before installing new one - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi guys,
Im using a Dopod 838 (The asian Wizard). It's original ROM comes with some neat features which I didnt find with T-mobile's MDA. I would like to update it to a WM6.1 ROM, but keep my original ROM just in case.
How do I backup my ROM before updating it? Or does anyone have a link to the original Dopod 838 ROM?
Thanks

XDA Neo (aka. Qtek S200 Rom(German) )

Hy Guyz!!
Does anybody know (have the O2 german rom) where i can download the german (O2) rom for the Xda Neo.
Thanks in advance.
Next
Would be interested as well :lol:
I've a new O2 with german rom, I'm searching abot OS ENG ROM or I prefer the ITALIAN rom.
Before I delete my GER rom, If you want I can dump this for you. Do you have a O2 ENG or (the best) ITA rom (Qtek or i-mate)?.

I've finally got mine backed up before i flashing it with i-jaming newest rom. But it is backed as dump. .. and as far as i know, to reflash it back later (i.e. if you/have want to), it has to be a .nba format. but i do not know how to convert it to that format.
If anybody knows how please let me know and i'll post the finished product here.
Thanks
Peace
ummm ... i would kindly appreciate if someone could backup its current ROM and upload it to xda ftp.
What ROM, OS, RADIO version is this? Currently i have the Qtek German ROM (see signature). Is the EXT ROM also available?
Regards,
Falk
I am also very interested in flashing mine to an english rom (qtek, etc), but I do also want the option of going back to the GErman Rom if need be...but, i have not seen the original German (Neo) rom posted. Does anyone know where this can be found? The O2 site has nothing....
thanks...
folks, the german (or whatever languaged roms) mostly pop up as soon as the carrier (o2, tmobile, orange, ...) or oem (qtek, imate) have a update rom available, so it is usually no problem to install your prefered rom now and then go back to the original as soon as you want to sell the device. also if you think that switching the rom may harm your warranty:
1) it's always possible to f*ck up the rom version you have on your device in case of a hardware issue (simply start any update and the unplug the usb), so your beloved device becomes a paperweight and noone can say what rom you've used; 2) would changing the os on your desktop pc harm any warranty? no. so there you go whenever someone asks.
you don't need to change the cid of your device, there's a modified upgrade_utility, so you can always go back to the original state of rom as soon as your carrier releases one.
go update now ...
cheers, lutz
aaaaaand by the way: the xda neo (prophet) german rom from o2 is now available officially here: http://www.o2-online.de/o2/kunden/technikundeinst/exclusive/xda/xdaneo/index.html?nidx=1 go get it and be happy
cheers, lutz

Ditch WM5 aside, its full of nonsense, the WM6 by xda-developers cookers are much better. Or you can have the priviledg of trying WM6.1
I have found my original shipped Hong Kong rom (WM5) at:

HTC S710 ROM update

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!
Chuck
@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

dopod 818 pro shipped rom

hey guys,
the other day i somehow used the qtek shipped rom on my dopod 818 pro...
anybody know where can i find the dopod shipped rom?
thanks
I think that this NVID ROM is the Dopod 818p ROM.
There are actually very few differences between the ROMs.
