Unzip the Task29.zip files. Right click on Task29.exe and choose "Extract Here". Then replace the RUU_Signed.nbh file (as extracted) with the nbh file from the radio of your choice. Just be sure to rename the radio.nbh file to RUU_Signed.nbh

when i use task29

task29 delet rom or??

task29 not delet HSPL2 or?

and task29 delet not the radio or??

thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Use the ShaDrac repack version. Or best, just run the Task29 (shaDrac) and flash the radio separately.

Task29 only removes the rom from memory and does not delete the hspl or radio.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cu2cool:
So is the purpose of task29 just to reformat the device memory to a blank slate before flashing a ROM? If so, what is the benefit of doing this as opposed to just flashing the ROM as stated in MSkip's guide, which doesn't involve Task29?

I just flashed Kumar's latest ROM from my stock ROM without using Task29.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, Task29 merely clears the rom form memory. The benefit is that supposedly when you flash a new rom bits of the old rom may remain in memory and not be overwritten by the new rom. this may manifest in strange bugs which no other users on the rom experience. Task29 clears the entire area so that the flash is onto a clean area.

hi,

sorry im new . been reading up and just wanna make sure im right.

I have done a task29 on my phone before flashing to energy rom.

Now i noticed my splashscreen is gone. As in it will appear this htc with rom, radio info. Then screen went blank for a while and the next moment, I am in sense homescreen already. There used to be this energy animation after the HTC white screen b4 it enters sense. Does that mean my old splash screen has been cleared by the task29 already ? I used shadrac and i assume the nbh file he provided is an empty one as mentioned in first post ? that explains for the empty screen ?

So lets say if I wish to add a new splash screen, i have to find one with .nbh and then overides the RUU_signed.nbh after i extract the files from task29 by shadrac ? And then i click task29.exe in the extracted folders to flash ?

What abt radio then ? if i were to incoroporated into task29 ? i overwrite the radio with RUU_signed.nbh also ? wouldnt that affect my spashscreen ? sorry for the length description. anyone able to help answer my qns ? thanks !!!

and anyone knows where i can find .nbh spashscreen ? all the splashscreen i see seems to be in cab . kinda of confuse. thanks !!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can, but don't need to incorporate the splashscreen or radio into the Task29 as both can also be flashed via LeoCustomRUU.exe which will not remove the current rom. If you use Task29, the splashscreen and radio will be flashed but the rom will be removed.

You can find the default HTC White splashscreen here, in nbh format ;) (Credit to the CleanEx team)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pool7979:
hi,

thanks for ur prompt info. Ok i tried the stock splashscreen. What i did was after task29, i ran the leosplash screen. i ran the customRUU.exe and renamed the stockleosplash into ruu_signed.nbh. Am i doing any thing wrong here ?

After I flash, i saw the htc white screen that shows rom radio info.. etc

BUT i do not see the htc quietly brillant animation before it goes into sense home. its an empty screen before it goes into sense. Is the leostock splash suppose to come with that animation ? or jus the static htc white screen with rom info ? else any idea how to get those animation ?

i researched that there are actually 3 stages of splash screen before sense launches.

1. htc white screen with rom, radio info

2. quietly brillant animation

3. windows logo

so after all task29, my experience tells me task29 will remove 2&3 ? so in order to install back 2&3, i will have to install those so called splash screen that comes in cab format ? The leostock splash mentioned earlier on that require to flash is for 1 then ?

sorry if i asked too much. wld appreciate if someone can explain to me ???

thanks a million in advance !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I've just replied to your post in the NRG thread. The file I posted just gives the white HTC initial screen as you state. The others should be part of the NRG rom and Task29 should not have any impact on that. What are you using when you run Task29. I use the original ShaDrac version without making any changes to the .nbh file and then flash my rom and I have no problems with the other screens. Are you sure that you have not applied a tweak to disable the Boot animation as there is an option to do this in BsB Tweak i believe.

After a bit more searching you may want to try this cab to restore the default 2nd and 3rd screens (Thread link)

Check in \Windows on the NRG rom and see if you have the following files:

Welcome.exe

Welcome.xaml

welcomehead.192.png

welcomehead.png

welcomenrg.exe

welcomenrg.mscr

Can anybody post task29 sticky at T-Mobile HD2 ROM forum?

This is a great help to "clean up" the memory before installing another ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antmantucan:
I am having the same problem. I bought a stock HTC HD2 from Tmobile US and installed LEON V.17 Light after I had installed HSPL. Everything was working fine but wanted to try a new ROM so I ran a task 29 before trying to install Leon's non light version. These are the steps I am going through.

1. I make a connection between phone and computer

2. I put my phone into bootloader.

3. I run Task29

4. I put phone into bootloader again.

5. I run Leon.exe to install LEON ROM.

Problem: After the last step, my phone continues to reboot onto the splash Tmobile screen then stop, then try again, then stop, then try again, etc. Does anyone have a solution to this? I thought it may be because I have the wrong radio but the LEON ROM has a radio in it. I also tried to install a radio after I installed the ROM with CUSTOMRUU. Any help would be great!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
if it were wrong radio yourphone would be dead by now,

sounds more like a wrong rom version, but since you didn't link to the rom i'm not going hunting for it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antmantucan:
I used:

[ROM][WWE][08.04] LEON v1.6 [WM6.5 - 21889][BASE: v2.10][576Mb RAM Enabled][UC]

I don't think it is the wrong ROM version because I had used both of them fine before I did a Task 29. When I first bought the HTC HD2 through Tmobile, I had flashed the Regular version of the above ROM. I didn't think I would like all the customization that was installed in it so I flashed the Lite version of the ROM. I then decided I liked the non lite version better but this time did a Task 29 in between flashing back and now I am stuck. What could Task 29 have done so that I cannot flash the same working ROMS?

Possible things I thought of as problems:

Wrong radio but probably not.

Not getting an activesync connection - Phone is in bootloader with USB indicated but activesync on my pc is not picking up the phone

Or lastly, since I'm rather new, I am just doing something wrong. The steps I am doing seem right though.

Here is the process again.

1. Connect phone to PC via usb cable and put phone in bootloader - USB is indicated in white portion.

2. Run Task 29

3. Hold down reset button and down volume to put phone into bootloader again - holding down power button and down volume doesn't work for me.

4. Run LEONS ROM, it is an .exe file so it runs on its own - I assume it is supposed to do everything right on its own (like flash radio first but not sure).

5. I try to turn on the phone so I can do a hard reset but....

HERE IS WHERE I GET STUCK. I cannot get past this stage as after I install the ROM it just reboots the splash screen over and over again. It is totally unresponsive if not connected to USB.

(just some notes: I did HSPL my phone. Also, I think a ROM just isn't sticking because each time I run a ROM, you know how there is a time in the process where it shows you the ROM installed and asks to update to the version you want to install, in that portion it just says ROM image and that is it. )

ANY help would be great. I know this is dumb to say but I am away on a business trip with my phone and tried to flash. Now that the phone is not working I am kind of screwed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Can you confirm that your radio has not changed? When the device boots up on the HTC white screen you should see the radio version in the bottom left corner - R x.xx.xx.xx etc. If you are not able to see this due to the constant reboot, perhaps try to flash the 2.08.50.08 radio again. No need for Activesync connection, just from bootloader, plug in usb and when USB shows on screen flash the radio and then try rom again. Alternatively try to flash another rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
just a thought, but there have been a few cases recently where a battery connector gets bent and causes a cyclic reboot just like that.

Long shot, i know, but it just occured to me.

also, have you tried other roms?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] m0nkm0nk:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jada'sworld:
Hey antmantucan, I looked at the ROM that you have use an its meant for the HD2 Europe version which is a 576mb Ram enable the US TMobile version is a 1024mb Ram enable if you flash the wrong ROM is not going to boot you can get all the Tmobile ROM from here xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Akademist101:

because i have an updated version and would prefer to keep it.

can i just replace the radio it is supplied with the new radio i prefer replacing ruu.nbh radio?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes, task 29 will use whatever nbh file is in the same folder, , so, in your case, delete the 2.08 radipo and put the one you want to use there. Or, use the 2.,08 radio, then flash your preffered afterwards. Completely up to you.

I flash my phone strictly through a miniSD because for some reason, I can't get it to activesync with Windows 7 ever since I went to 6.5.3+ ROM. Is there a way to run Task29 from the phone, followed by a ROM flash straight from a memory card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. How are you running Task29 though, you must surely have a usb connection to the pc? As long as usb shows on the device when in bootloader an Activesync connection is not necessary in order to flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] veda_sticks:
ah ill try doing task29 from xp within a virtual box session. When i couldnt get active sync to work i thought flashing wouldnt work either.

Foirgetting that usb serial is a much more rebust protocol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jambaj0e:
That's the thing. My computer doesn't even pick up my phone via USB at all. I've been flashing thru my miniSD. I haven't tried Task29
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Even if you load up into bootloader first and then connect to usb? try using one of the ports at the back of your pc. Just be aware that doing a Task29 will completely remove your rom from memory and if you can't get another one back on you'll have a phone that wont boot at all.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I'm not sure if from your "Edit\Delete Message" that it means you managed to sort out the problem? If not, an Activesync connection is not needed, as long as usb shows in bootloader you can just run the RUU.exe ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uip:
Thank you for your reply,

I am a noobie, first WMP, first Flash, first everything so I know very little but I am very good at following instructions.

a) RUU_signed.nbh

b) RUUGetInfo.exe

Task 29 won't run

Hiya folks,

I can't get Task 29 to run. Tried multiple times.

It's worked in the past, but now it just sits there at 0% and eventually times out and tells me the update failed and how to recover. The ROM is still fine.

I'm using HSPL2 1.66 / Artemis v11.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Try putting phone into bootloader first and then check, does "usb" show up on screen. If so, then run Task29 as Administrator.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] agupta80:
Yep, the USB shows up fine. I can't flash anything...just tried loading a new ROM and got the same result. Just sits there at 0% and eventually times out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you sure your spl is 1.66.hspl and not 1.66.0000?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] agupta80:
It is 1.66.0000; that's what I loaded right from the start using HSPL2 and it was working fine.

Should I be using the HSPL version instead?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
1.66.0000 would probably work fine with stock roms, but won't work on cooked roms. You need 1.66.hspl in order to flash a cooked rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] agupta80:
Well, the only ROM I've ever used on it was Artemis. Never used the stock ROM :)

Anyways, thanks for your advice. I changed to 2.08.HSPL and now it worked fine.

Thanks ClydeB1 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Odd, not sure how you got a cooked rom on without hspl (or sspl), but never mind as all is sorted.

task 29 on Rhodium? (AT&T Tilt 2)

I've read this thread (tho such a noob that I only understood a fraction) and I'm still not sure whether I should use Task 29 on my Rhodium before flashing new roms? I'd appreciate a definitive answer if any of you might know. Thanks so much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I use Task29 prior to each flash, but which is probably not required but is probably advisable after every couple of flashes though. Be sure to use the original version, (not the ShaDrac repack) and be sure to replace the .nbh file with a Rhodium radio nbh file before running it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It's not necessary to use Task29 before a flash, it is usually advised after a few flashes as little bugs can creep in after multiple flashes. If you've got the hspl thingy done, just flash. You can try out Task29 a little later once you've gotten your confidence up ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htcp85:
So it's not necessary to run task29 in this my first flash. thanks for the info.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] louie23:
Thanks. I will try this
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, it's not required before every flash, but is recommended by many especially after a few flashes. Sometimes little unexplained bugs can creep in which nobody else is experiencing - in those cases it is very useful.

I personally use it before every flash, but that is a personal choice and as to the long term "side-effects" there does not seem to be any definite view. Nowadays with these devices who keeps them for any extended period in any case, as we always want the latest and greatest device. I'm pretty sure a couple hundred flashes are not going to break the device.

probably a dumb question but would I need to save my contacts and stuff before I perform this and if so how do I do that?

Sorry I'm new to all this
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, it will totally format the memory area where your rom is stored and you will need to flash to a new rom. In the process all data and apps stored in program memory will be wiped. The sd card data and apps are not impacted.

There are various options, you can use MS Outlook to back up your contacts, or else use PIMBackup or MyPhone.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
it formats the phone memory so you dont have any bugs when flashing a new ROM, there is no way to change call timers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
because thats the hard reset function, you do that after you installed a new ROM, there wont be nothing on the phone but its just to make sure everything is fresh
