just started the update routine of the wwe rom from the wiki (ART_HTCWWE_11140501_024990_WWE_Test_R ) and yes, it starts up properly and kicks me out just because my battery power is below 50% !!!

So I ll charge and try again

PLEASE though: any idea howto backup my original rom????



OK...Charged to more than 50% percent update routine reads : current information on your pda..., select from below: update

next step: verify :

image version: 1.13.111.1

to

version: 1.11.405.1

you are now ready to update...

machine enters bootloader mode ( i suppose ) and update starts...

shit, this will work!!!! I am aborting... HOW TO BACKUP MY EXISTING ROM ???? PLS help

It means you can flash ROMs that don't necessarely need to match the CID on your device.

You can dump some parts of your ROM but you won't be able to flash them back (you can only flash signed code), so forget about "backup".

For dumping the rom use itsutils as explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom

If you want to extract the imgfs contents you can use either rdmsflsh.pl (http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/dumprom/rdmsflsh.pl) or viewimgfs.exe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836) with the raw file you extracted in previous step.

If you want to dump the OS files and modules you can use TestWM5.exe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24725&d=1128913652) from the device itself.

For dumping other rom parts you can use pdocread (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils%2Fpdocread.exe) or haret (http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET) (pwf command).
