Backing up old ROM

---

Hi,

I want to try one of pug's rom upgrades, because the Dutch Qtek (representing) company sucks extremely hard and offers barely any support at all to its users I installed their (very old) upgrade, and it ****ed everything up :roll:

Anyway, Im very anxious if it comes to rom upgrades, especially unofficial "found somewhere on the net" upgrades (nofi). So I want to back up my old rom version and be able to put it back, in case pugs update doesnt work out. I found the following url on this forum:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=370
But when I try that, all I can get into is safe mode.. I never saw any 'boot loader', even though I tried like 10 times :shock: I take the following steps:
- Press and hold the power and record button for a few seconds
- Let go of those buttons
- Stick the stylus into the little hole to reboot my device
Yet, I dont get into a boot loader.. Can anyone help me with this?

Also, the readme of pugs upgrade says:

The update will fail, do nothing to the device but run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again.

Why does it fail the first time? It kinda scares me that it does.. :P And can I put his radio_*.* in my own update? Because thats actually the part that I want upgraded, the bluetooth functionality..

Thanks in advance for any replies

Oops, I forgot my device information ops: :
Qtek 2020i
ROM 1.11.00 WWE
Radio 1.02.00
ExtROM: 1.11.112 WWE

dude he's saying to press (Reset SW and Power SW and Action button) the circular cutton between the yes and no buttons press these switches in same time and voila BootLoader Mode...

I too am interested in finding out how to backup my current Alpine rom to my PC (preferably direct to PC, not via SD) and then re-installing it if necessary at a later date.

Does anyone have a complete guide (not a pdamobiz guide, unless it is written in English and not engrish.)

I've used the XDATools OSImageTool to take a backup. If I were to install the following ROM: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com...mera_Fixed.rar would I be able to return my PDA to its current state by simply using the OSImageTool to restore my backed up ROM?
