[mGforCe]

Hi All,
I have a HTC Gene PPC. I want to upgrade my PPC OS from the default HTC WM5 to WM6 but I don't want to brick it...

ALso as I am first time user I want to take backup of original ROM before updating so that in case something goes wrong I am able to switch back to the OEM WM5....

Can pls tell me how can I take Backup of Original ROM with was shipped with my HTC P3400 ( Gene's name in India) ?

I tried searching the same on the xda forum but I couldn't find.... I may have missed.. but I really tried hard...

So can some one pls help me ?

Thanks in advance
