What is Task 29?

to summarize:

- Task 29 is a formatting tool, it formats the partition in the device where the ROM resides.

- This is often recommended for people who flash quite frequently, as the device's

partition could get cluttered by left over bits of data left behind between flashes

which causes difficult to explain problems, weird battery issues and many others

Objective of this thread:

1. make life a bit simplier, as we all know Radio 2.15.50.14 is the most highly

recommended Radio for anyone flashing Android and Win Phone7. So I compressed a

combination of task 29.exe and the .nbh file of Radio2.15.50.14, once unzipped

(I recommend 7-zip), the contents of the folder, will have all the needed

files to run Task 29 while at the

same time

flash Radio 2.15.50.14

so its like a bit of hitting two birds with 1 stone:p

Procedure: HSPL a necessity, as with all things we do for the device

1. download the zip file, then unzip it.

2. enter bootloader (press and hold volume down while briefly press power button)

3. connect device to pc via USB

4. open unzipped file, and double click on task 29.exe

5. formatting and Radio flashing will commence, should only take less than a minute.

6. once in white screen, (dont panic:eek:) just remove battery then put it back on

7a. If you want to flash Android and Win7 via NAND: flash MAGLDR 1.13

accomplished by entering bootloader then running the RUU that comes with MAGLDR.

7b. If you want Windows 6.5, just flash your chosen custom ROM also by

entering bootloader.

thanks to doloop for hexediting Task 29 so it can be run without drivers and mtty.

thanks to all the kind people here in XDA in the spirit of community, together

we can achieve great things.

bepe with DFT for HSPL

Cotulla and DFT for MAGLDR

placeholder just in case of updates:D

As we all probably know by now that different Radios work differently for every individual

depending on a lot of factors. hence here is an updated guide:

Download the Radio that you think best suits your needs RADIO LINKS HERE

in the unzipped folder from the download link in first post, replace the Radio .nbh file with the one that you've

chosen, then run Task 29 as per instruction in first post.

Thanks for this, I already have that radio but this will make things a lot easier for new users. Thanks again

Good for beginners indeed. Nice 1
[HD2 Android NAND Development] F-bone:
Good idea for new users ..to make thinks more clear I think you should add step 0) install hspl 2.08 ..instead of just mentioning it without version.. if I remember correctly hspl above v2.08 is incompatible with android and wm7..

Keep up the good work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
Good point, but my assumption is, for people who are "frequent flasher"

All should be well versed with HSPL. Thanks for pointing this out anyway.

I believe Radio 2.15.50.14 is a TMob US Radio. Correct me if im wrong. as I use the EU HD2 I suggest you

to wait for a positive confrmation, though my hunch is it will work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattfmartin:
You are correct it's a us radio

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mwakious:

Today i did task 29 and everything works perfectly with this radio on my HTC HD2 EU :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] peja_:
i dont get the point of this :)

you say its for frequent flashers - meaning they already have radio flashed

and task29 doesn't remove radio, so my question is - whats the point?

i dont mean to be rude, i would just like for someone to explain this

i use 2.10.50.26(best for batery life); can you do a combination between task29 and this radio version? thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stirkac:
may i use this for my cLK tutorial(link in sig) for new users? thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
the Task29.exe that doloop hexedited, needs an .nbh file in order for it to run,

so i just took the .nbh file of Radio 2.15.50.14. hence, task29 formats the drive

and at the same time the Radio gets intalled.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mwakious:
hi,go in zip file,delete RUU_signed.nbh and replace it with 2.10.50.26,if its not named RUU_signed.nbh do it and then run the program...

my opinion 2.15 is better

i can confirm that this works on hd2 eu

help please

hi,

i have 2 hd2, same everything... on one of them i installed hspl fine everything working, no problem...

but the other one for some reason doesnt flash hspl, i am able to change spl from 2.10 down to 2.08.0000 by flashing the stock rom,.. but when i run hspl 3 or hspl 4 it shows error unknown... any suggestions please....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] erestor6:
jigners please consider this...

Hi jigners,

I really appreciate your good work.

For long time, I thought to create a similar thing to decrease the time used to flash a rom, but I'm not capable. For that I beg you to create what I am going to describe.

The idea is to create two different versions and keep them constantly updated:

Version A) Task 29 + radio 2.15.50.14 + the latest version of Magdrl

Version B) Task 29 + radio 2.15.50.14 + the latest version of the clk bootloader

The ideal thing would be simply to create a "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" that can flash two files:

Version A) Your file .nbh (Task 29 + Radio 2.15) + magldr.nbh (that we choose)

Version B) Your file .nbh (Task 29 + Radio 2.15) + clk.nbh (that we choose)

This will solve the problem with clK bootloader, because we have to flash a different clk in relation to the size of file system of different roms.

What do you think?

I hope you consider my idea because I believe that it is useful to everyone.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
Not sure if this is possible, but the file is there for DFT and cedesmith to check if it can be integrated to their work. Best thing to do I think is to PM them.

when appear the bootloader screen on my HD2,task 29 didn't see the HD2 and don't format the smartphone.

I just have the radio 2.15,but there is some problem if i try to use this version of task 29 can i have problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
make sure you have HSPL3 to be specific use 2.08HSPL

Error while flashing

Hi, after running task 29 everything goes smoothly, but I as it gets closer to being finished (around 80-90%) it suddenly vibrates in short spurts (4 maybe 5 times) then it gets stuck at 96%. After that, an error pops out.

Any idea on what's wrong? thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] imitator101:
.. oh, and I already have HSPL3 installed (in boot loader it reads as SPL-2.08.HSPL)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
Try to do it all over again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dubbingt:
Are you running vista or windows7? If you are, right click task29 and run as administrator, it may solve your problems.

Thanks for this thread, I think it should be stickied. A big problem with XDA is that some very important threads are not stickied and are spread throughout multiple subforums, and newbies have a hard time searching to find everything.

People, also keep in mind, while 2.15 radio is the latest and most popular, it doesn't mean it will work the best for you. It depends on where you live. I, personally ran 2.15 on both mine and my friends HD2 for a good while, then downgraded both to 2.14 radio and we both had better battery life and signal.

So you can experiment with multiple radios to see which is best for you. Although, I dont recommend you flash anything lower than 2.12
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jigners:
Thanks for your positive comment, I will update first post with instruction with regards

Congrats! In case you're wondering, there were actually 4 different v2.3's before the final came out. Buried somewhere in the RA thread is a post describing which of the test versions the final is based on. I vaguely remember it being based on test03. In my own usage, I never had a problem with test04 (which had the larger read ahead cache enabled), so I left it as is. Unlike earlier versions, it does take longer to come up once the recovery banner is visible in the bottom. Not sure if this is the case with the final, but it doesn't bother me, so long that it works!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:

I now tried several times to install RAFDROID HD 4.0.2 but there seems to be a problem with the SD card since the installation always stucks with the boot logo.

I formatted, wiped, partitioned the card hundered times and I've done installations like that before w/o having any problems!

If I try to install an Android version which only uses NAND and not SD card everything is fine.

What is the most reasonable source for this issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chicura2:
I really do not know what to do now! I did following and I think this is correct:

1. Task29

2. MAGLDR 1.13

hello,

yesterday i installed wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V054 and really liked the look of it, then i installed a certain zip (not sure which one it was from the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread, but it changed the dialer to the arc style and got rid of the colour icons in the setup menu etc) and dont like the look of it, is there a way i can uninstall the zip or do i have to flash the whole rom again and start from scratch? i installed all of the extras zips on the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread page, so if someone could tell me the name of the zip that changed the look and feel then that would be great!

i would also like to know if there is a way to either change the clear background to white on the blue version of the market, or just revert to the normal green version? the blue version was also installed with a zip file in xrecovery.

thanks in advance,

woopypants
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3AstLyBLitZ:
Well first of all if you don't know which zip file and where it is located, unfortunately you have to factory reset, wipe cache partion, wipe dalvik cache and battery status. Then install the Rom then the update and other zip files all from scratch but this won't take long. ;)

Secondly if you don't like the blue market just flash new market and not the new blut transparent one.:):)

Hope this helped:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woopypants:
thanks for your reply, i the location of the zip file (its just on the sd card) and am pretty sure i know which zip file i want to 'unzip' so basically i just need to know if its possible to get rid of a certain file (as in unzip it, if there even is such a thing).

thanks for the tip on the market too :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woopypants:
actually i realise know which file it must have been- "arc icon and ui.zip". just for future reference i would like to know if there is a way of unzipping a file, or should i just do a backup everytime before i uninstall a zip, so that if i dont like it then i have something to revert back to instead of having to reinstall the rom everytime.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlpereira1987:
By default, the dialer for wolf's rom has always been the arc dialer...so if you want to get rid of it, the best thing to do would be to flash over a theme like matted blues.

well you can install themes to cover them if you don't like them

[General Questions and Answers] Hitch_Itch:
I am running niles Business sense 6.1 rom.

I am having issues.

When I mount my DINC as disk drive to my windows 7 pc and browse my sd card, not all the folders show, when I boot the phone into recovery I can see all the folders. I am trying to flash the new market and the circle battery from Niles topic in this xda forum. It shows the sd card issue was fixed, Am I missing something?

I thought I would just make another folder and put the zips in there, then boot into recovery and nav to the new folder. The problem is the new folder I created from my pc doesnt show up in recovery. Frustrating.

My other issue is when the phone boots up, it pretty much locks up to the point where it becomes unresponsive for about 3 minutes+/- the same thing happens when I try to update my apps in the market.

I really love sense 2.0 but I cannot find a rom thats is not buggy. I thought Niles was the answer but I am having issues.

Any help would be Great

[Thunderbolt General] DieselvRR:
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Chreokee. When I first got the phone, it paired fine and I was able to make and receive calls through the BT. I had this setup for about 1-2 days. I then rooted the phone with the stock ROM only removing bloat ware...now I cannot connect via bluetooth back to the car. It seems to connect then disconnect me right away. Ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
I know this seems obvious but have you tried unpairing and repairing the phone to the car? Sometimes bluetooth can get fidgety and most of the time it requires you to repair the device. In my experience that generally solves the issues I have had with bluetooth.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
Any time I have factory restored my phone I have had to repair it to any Bluetooth devices it was once connected to. Not sure if the Bluetooth address changes for the phone or not on a reset or ROM change, but it seems to be the case. My Infiniti G37s has Bluetooth and I experienced the same issue as you, pair it again and see if that helps.
[Thunderbolt General] DieselvRR:
Thanks for replies...I tried to repair about 6 different times...same result. It seem that the phone and audio connections both connect for about 2 seconds, then the phone disconnects.

Funny, I wanted to try this but kept forgetting. So I just went down to my garage and tried it, and it paired successfully on the first try. Tried making a call via number/phonebook and it all worked.

I'm rooted running Das BAMF 1.3, and paired it with a '11 Sonata Limited.
[Thunderbolt General] DieselvRR:
So I got it working...but without the phone book downloaded. The issue is in fact when it tries to download the phone book. Need to get another phone loaded up with my contacts and do a sync to get phone book loaded to car.
[Thunderbolt General] seandalton0:
Did you do anything to get it working?
[Thunderbolt General] DieselvRR:
When the device asked me to allow connection to download the phone book, I declined, only then would it pair properly.
[Thunderbolt General] ruddogg:
I think I figured it out, I have the Infiniti G37, when I rooted & re-paired the Bluetooth, somehow I ignored the question when it popped up asking to "allow" or "deny" the connection.

Yesterday during the whole 4G fiasco, I reflashed & had to re do everything this morning, when I paired my BT, it asked me whether to allow & this time I clicked allow & my BT connects & stays connected fine now.

My question is, is there a way to delete the BT pairing on the phone without having to completely wipe the phone with a reflash?

I believe the issue is just with the MyGig radio on the Chrysler products. I have a SRT8 Magnum with the MyGig and allowing it to download the address book "Breaks" the B.T. connection. I don't know what the issue is? Perhaps too much information being sent to the MyGig and it "locks up"?

I also have a Ford Focus for a daily driver and allowing it to download the Address Book over the phone has no such issue.
