Back Up ROM/Firmware before upgrade

Hi All,

Is there a way to back up the ROM/firmware on the phone before upgrading?

Thanks.

but why?
you do know that your rom is not uniqe it's 100% the same thing as any other rom with the same brand and same version nr

if you don't like the rom you try out you can just flash it with the same brand / version rom you got and you're back to square one

otherwise check out the wiki for more backup info

The reason why I want to back up my original ROM/XDA installation is because after reading a lot of information regarding ROMs, they all seem to be customised and bloated with stuff I don't want/need.

Ideally, I just want to be able to upgrade the OS, and not have to worry about any tweaks or other programs someone has put into their ROM.

Thanks for the link, I've had a look. I was hoping that someone would already have a ROM but as you have said, a lot of customisation by the operators.

all roms here and in the wiki I linked to are not cooked the official ones like the one you already use are available too

....and I think you will not Missing ANYTHING from your Original ROM

The only thing worthy for backup..are your own Files !!
