Backup Factory ROM

[jn1167]

Is there a way to backup my current ROM before I try to flash to the MightyRom? I havent been able to find a factory ROM that matches the one my TP2 came with.

I currently have CE OS 5.2.21052 (Build 21052.1.6.5) w/ TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38416.1

Anyone know where I can find that one or how i can dump my current ROM so I have it as a backup if I dont like the MoghtyROM?

Thanks

I've used SPB Backup to backup EVERYTHING, and was pleasantly surprised when it backed my entire ROM version after doing a bad upgrade, which saved by a$$. I now have total faith in this program. LINK

SPB Backup will not restore a system to a previous ROM.

As I said "I was pleasantly surprised".....I will only provide factual information on this board.

I use SPB BU all the time, I know what it does.

If you do a full system BU & then mess up your system, you can hard reset & then restore the BU & be right back in business on your CURRENT ROM.

It will not restore your system to the stock ROM setup however. You would have to find & DL the stock ROM & reflash it to your system first (SPB BU will NOT do this). You could THEN restore an SPB BU you had made previous to flashing to something like MightyROM.

If I offended, then I certainly apologize; I never questioning your understanding of the operations of the SPB Backup Program whatsover, as I apparently did not clarify clearly enough the steps which I followed which "saved my a$$" in my real world experience. You apparently are much more well versed with the SPB Backup application than I, and I should have provided further details which I did not properply flesh out in my initial response to the OP. I don't sell the product, I merely provide endorsement of those applications which provide value in my Windows Mobile experiences.

Yes, but can someone answer his question since its my question too. I would love to backup my rom. Just in case we wanted to go back.

To go back, you just need to reflash the stock ROM.

You can find the stock ROM downloads in the upgrade section.

I saved a copy of the stock Verizon ROM to my laptop before I did any custom flashing. I have never used it, but I know it's there just in case (or if I need to return it to stock in case I need to return the phone under warranty)
