I have two devices. Both are t-mobile. One has ROM 3.14 and the other has the upgrade to WM2003. The upgraded one keeps crashing. I'd like to take the 3.14 ROM and install it on that device.
Can someone provide a walk through on how to do this? I can save the ROM to an SD card or my hard drive. I just can't get it to load back onto the device.
Please help!
Thanks a lot, :D

Take the xda that has the working rom, place an sd memory card in it, preferably 64 meg or bigger. Push stylus in soft reset hole while holding power button, push top left key on xda, choose "ce to sd", this will burn the rom to the sd card. When finished place the sd card in the non working xda, push soft reset and power, when asked push the centre of the 4 way rocker switch on the xda, once it is finished, unscrew the stylus, push the top end in to the hole on bottom right of xda, wait one minute, push once more, the xda will reboot with the new rom in place. When placing the sd card in the non working xda it may ask if you wish to format the card, DO NOT FORMAT. Just reset/power button as described.

backup your 3.14 ROM to SD from your 3.14 phone (bootloader --> CE OS to SD ), than restore the backup SD to another phone (bootloader --> restore OS)

Thanks for the advice. I was actually able to get it working shortly after my post. I'm having a different problem now. Maybe someone's experienced this and knows how to fix it:
After upgrading to the latest T-mobile ROM with WM2003, the device will not turn back on after auto shut off. In other words, if you let the device turn itself off after the specified time period (mine's set to 3min, but I did it at 1 min for testing) hitting the power button won't turn it back on. The only way to get it to turn on is a soft-reset which sometimes has the same effect as a hard-reset.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the actual ROM, the radio stack, or both.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's extremely frustrating. I've called T-mobile and they have no idea what I'm talking about. I would like to get this thing working and stop messing around with the ROMs already.
Thanks a lot!

T-mobile 2003 with full of bugs!
Sometime I get calls, but no key response.
