How to Peform a rom Dump

[Daanoz]

Hey guys,

I'm another happy member who bricked his Herald :D. I didn't unlock the thing before the flash and that is where it went wrong i think... not having an original rom, i'm stuck with a nice colorfull bootloader screen...

Now, for the good news, i have a friend, with an Herald from the exact same provider, bought 1 week later as i did... now my question:

How do i get his rom on my pda?

(if i manage to get the rom, i'll be happy to post it up here :) (Dutch vodafone WM5 )

Cheers

No chance.

You cannot flash a dump to a bricked device. You need the original RUU.

Because you cannot signe the dump os.nb to a .nbh and therefore the dump is useless.

Sorry. But check the wiki if there is an RUU for you. Normally there should be all you need!!

It's an imaging tool that works like Ghost or Acronis True Image, but is designed for mobile phones. It says you can take an image of a device and dump it to another device, just like you would with a desktop PC.

If it works, then it would be the best way I can think of do a complete backup and restore of your phone (or phone to phone) provided it doesn't require an agent on the phone, or some other OS-level operation to work (meaning the phone would have to already be working).

Down side, though, is that they appear to only sell it for a minimum of 20 devices at 300 dollars a pop.... :mad:

@papamopps : tried them all....


@psyop1 : damn that app sounds nice, couldn't get it form my "sources" though, so requested a trail version... lets see where it gets me :)

Dannoz: I'd be interested in hearing how it works, because it may be the solution to many problems with phone dumps/backups! :D
