Hi everybody,
I am going to switch my HP ipaq hw6915 to WM 6.1, using the “Russian" ROM-Update discussed here quite intensively. Had been reading and searching first but nowehere found a hint on how to save/backup my original ROM first. Just to have an opportunity to roll-back

Can anybody give me a brief hint?
Thanks!

The reason for trying to upgrade my hw6915 to WM 6.1 is simply because I like and use the GPS still a lot, its still a perfect travel-companion!
I found out that on the current ROM with WM 5 only TomTom Navigator 6 is working . But all maps for that are outdated.
Installing Navigator 7 with latest maps works fine – but the Navigator software does receive GPS signal – once in a while (1 signal about every 30 seconds – just enough to locate the current position but not enough to really navigate).
Exactly the same thing when I install Sygic (which I love much more than Tom Tom). All works fine but again just about 1 signal about every 30 seconds.
GPS Proxy etc. does not solve the problem – so I will give it a try with WM 6.1.
If anybody however found out how to get Navi software (Tom Tom, Sygic or whatever) with not-too--old maps working with the original WM 5 on the hw 6015 – I´d be outstanding thankful to learn!

Have not tried Garmin bt I am using TT and Sygic in the car resp. on other mobiles so I did not want to deal with a 3rd Navi software.

Would be happy if somebody can give me a hint on how to backup my current (original) ROM before I try to flash it with Alpha 1 discussed in the other thread here.
