Hi

Thanks for providing such tool.

Can you improve the documentation or first post by adding important information:

-Does it has to be done with the "micro SD card" in the device? (same for the SIM card)

-What do you have to do with the "NBH" file? For example I have "LEOIMG.nbh" which is suppose to be a new radio 2.12 for HTC HD2. That file was taken elsewhere and I clearly don't know what to do with it-

I tried 3 times already, it's stuck at ZERO percent.

I have no firewall, etc... Windows XP

I tried first with the "Task29 provided by doloop.exe", 2 times -> time out and ask for recovery (i dont have the colors bars so it says I can skip)

3rd try I copied that .nbh in same folder and re-run.exe...

ps: i have both sim and micro sd card out---

:(

Edit: ok I installed HSPL 2 then tried again this Task29, it worked.

Still Would be nice to update the instructions as it's not totally clear...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tommy96814:
seems to stall with the new HSPL3 installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silenced3:
works perfectly with hspl3. first flash of my life and that too within 7 days of getting the phone :p

i followed the instructions in the first post (wrt the blank nbh 'recommended' download) and flashed using activesync. entered bootloader and then flashed energy 23569 (june 26) rom again using activesync. entire job took 10 mins. radio is intact as mentioned in the first page - i am still running the 2.12.50.02_2 after the energy flash.

edit:

i have a tmous hd2 and i have 2.08.hspl flashed. also the previous rom version was the 2.13.531.1. radio was/is 2.12.50.02_2

bah. waiting for the forum anti-spam system to allow me to save the edited post :(

im having very similar problems as that fellow..i just got a telstra hd2 (used, unlocked and hspled) for use in canada on bell. on most of the boots its only the htc white screen without the radio, rom etc info in the lefthand corner. sometimes itll boot the htc screen and actually show the radio, rom etc info in the corner. rarely does it actually boot to a loaded rom, and when it does it usually freezes within a minute or so. ive tried a telstra shipped and i couldnt get anything but the blank htc screen, never booted once in a full day of trying. Energys ive gotten to boot a few times, and only once did it run for a good few hours, but mostly just a min or two. heres my bootloader screen:

PB811190 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

this is what i get in the left side of the white bootscreen the odd time it boots:

R 2.07.50.27_2

G 15.22.50.07u

D 2 ENERGY 8G

like i said its a telstra model, on bell in canada and energys is all that would boot. ive tried a few different radios, but this one seems to be the one that boots (sometimes lol) id really appreciate if someone may know what the hell is goin on with it, and possibly point me in the right direction. thanks kindly

task29 kills my boatloader

after task 29, my bootloader seems weird

it frequently stuck at the white screen without version

have to keep on take battery out

never had this problem before task 29, anyway to fix it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] braveally:
multiple errors

like some others, when I try to run task 29 on my rhodium it keeps says it can't find multiple files, starting with c:\task29.exe. I'm on win 7 64x and latest version of wmdc. I also was running it as admin. I tried to use the doloop version. Should I use the regular version? I've flashed my phone over 10 times and think I desperately need to run this program.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
well you just formatted teh phone, what do you expect? it cant boot without an operating system right?

You need to enter bootloader, connect to USB and flash a rom.

fine example of doing something with no clue what is being done. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
AFAIK the Doloop version includes a small Leo rom and therefore wont work on the Rhodium. You need to use the regular version and be sure to replace the radio.nbh file with a Rhodium radio file.

How are you running as Admin? Being logged on as a user with admin rights doesn't help, you need to right click on the Task29.exe and select "Run as Admin"

i just ran task 29 and after it was done i tried to boot my phone and nothing i tried to go into it by pressing the volume key down and end key but all it doe is turn on my phone, is there another way i can flash a rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Soundbite:
sorry to double post but if it helps my phone does have hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lit:
Not working. I see always 0%.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
need hspl installed for task29

you just formatted the phone and wiped the ROM, how do you expect it to boot till you flash a new rom?

when trying to enter bootloader don't hold power. hold vol down and tap and release power
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Soundbite:
Well just did what you said my friend but it just turns on no bootloader :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] racesurg:
Try holding VOLUME DOWN button then press Reset button (under the battery cover, lower left corner). Keeping holding VOLUME DOWN button until you get to the tricolor bootloader. (-:

Replacing Rhodium nbh file

So, how do I "replace the .nbh file with a Rhodium radio nbh file"? First, where do I find the radio file? And then how do I insert/overwrite the Leo .nbh? Embarrassed this is all so over my head. I've flashed close to 10 times now & really want to eliminate errors caused by this. Thanks so much.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bountygiver:
nope, i got a rom.

It SOMETIMES cant boot

stuck at white screen unless take out battery, wait a while and try again until it boots.

But no problem if going to the tri-color boot screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bountygiver:
about my bootloader problem:

now it cannot boot if i am plugged in to power or soft reset, must unplug, take out battery, wait, replace battery only can boot

only happened after task 29,after reflash rom,radio, reapply task 29, reinstall hspl....... still the same.

this task 29 really screwed up my bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jemuller1982:
i figure it out thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Foggy79:
Hello,

Just updated to HSPL3 version 2.08.

But when I want to do Task29 now before flashing a new ROM, it gets stuck in the bootloader before he can even do task29...

Any idea how this happen?

about my problem, this is not the 1st time i got issue w/ task 29, the 1st time i used task 29, it KILLS my SD card
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
When you unpack the Task29 zip file, one of the files you'll see is named RUU_signed.nbh. That is the radio file. You'll need to go to the Rhodium forum and find a radio for your device. Copy the .nbh file from there, rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and replace the one in the Task29 folder. Now when you run the Task29 on your Rhodium it will first flash the radio rom and then perform the Task29 format.

Remember that Task29 totally formats the rom area of your device so there will be no rom to boot into. As Task29 completes ie when it hits 100%, hold the volume down button in until it reboots, this will put you directly into bootlader mode again and you can then flash your new rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
because you chose 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08.hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
BTW flashing a bootscreen with the task29.exe is sooo much faster.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
Do you know where to find some nice bootscreens?

I'm especially looking for the Win7 like bootscreen with the 4 flying lights.

Is there one for the HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] briano88:
i attempted this first time via usb got to 4 percent and the phone restarted stating that there was a error.

any ideas ???

never mind worked it out, had to place my own radio
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Kalip:
Nearly the same here. Often it hanging at the white HTC logo, not showing any of the rom infos in the lower left corner. Need to pull out the battery, can reboot after.

That happens after many flashes and task29.

So, whats the problem here ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
Do you guys hardreset after flashing a ROM?

Some say it's not needed, but others recommend it.

phone stuck after task 29

Ok im new to this and i put some custom roms on my hd2 but at one time i put the chucky rom then i replaced it for the elegancia rom, but every time i would power my phone down the chucky splash screen would come up first then after a bit the elegancia animation would start and the phone would boot up and work good.. i read on here that task 29 would get rid of any left over roms so i did the task 29 radio_2.08.50.05_task29 follow all the instructions but now my phone is stuck on the screen it just says chucky rom, im guessing that is the splash screen now but it wont take me into the boot loader, i have removed the batt and pressed the vol key down for about 10 mins and nothing, i have pressed the reset button on the back of the phone as well and press the vol down key still nothing ... phone boots up as soon as i put the batt in it .... please if anyone can help that would be great .. i have

Tmous hd2 leo

hslp

cant recall the radio version but it had a 2.10..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
I never do a hardreset. I think task 29 is enough. Nevertheless it is a nice ritual to hard reset your device after a update. (It helps to develop a full blown ORD :D )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Unfortunately my Leo has went to sleep for a while, but from memory I think I encountered this problem also. When I recall it well it was something very simple. Something like, having the HD2 connected to a charger when trying to get it into the bootloader... or
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] txfire0901:
i tried it with it plugged into my laptop and unplugged, also tried it plugged into wall charger and unplugged, with and with out sim card, and sd card... my laptop doesnt even see it as a usb

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i just task 29 my phone and now i cant get into bootloader mode to install a rom anybody had this problem im just getting the white tmo screen holding the volume down but wont go into boot loader mode
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dj_doeboy:
hold the volume down button and reset the phone. Do NOT let go of the volume button. Some handsets require you to hold it for a considerably long time to prevent "accidents". which handset do you have?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maxtcee:
hd2 ive been holding it for like 4 min tried several times just stuck on white tmo screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Well if you've just run Task29 you've successfully removed (formatted) the rom so that is exactly what is supposed to happen - with no rom there is nothing else to boot to. Put phone into bootloader and flash a new rom ;)

Pull the battery, then replace, hold volume down and switch on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BlazinAsian:
Thanks I just used this before flashing to my first custom rom ever, it worked great :) Easy aswell .

The windows live messenger makes the interface buggy and stops the internet from working, I'll make some screenshots.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maxtcee:
like i said ive been trykng to get into boot loader mode with no success holding the volume down and restarting all its doing is the white t mobile screen it dont go into boot loader is there another method ive even tried to sync it but pc wont recognize it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
take the battery off then put back in,volume down then power on,hope will solve it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uncleswoop:
is it me or is this freaking complicated. how do i hex edit the romupdate utility? i guess once i figure out how to do that then the rest is pretty simple
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maxtcee:
ive been trying this for 2 days now and all i get is the white tmo screen cant get into tri color screen is there another way to load a rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you holding the volume down button completely in while switching on and then keeping it pressed down until the phone boots? Try removing the battery cover to give you better access to the volume down button.

What happens if the phone is connected to the pc and you run the CustomRUU?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
why do you think you need to? just download the one that's already been edited.

start messing with it and I'll put money on you bricking your phone by the weekend.

however, to answer the question "how do i hex edit.....", well, get a hex editor and use it to hex edit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
I guess you are pointing to the "problem" that the device doesn't stay in the bootloader after performing a task 29. Well I can tell you by experience that this isn't freaking trivial :D In experimenting with this I bricked my HD2.

But let me introduce you in the simple "secrets" of hexediting the RUU, so maybe you can get on with it, while my HD2 is sleeping:

Get a hexeditor and open the (standard HTC) RomUpdateUtil.exe with it. Search for "task" and you will see somewhere in the exe file "task 28".(see screen1: this is screendump of a customRUU where task 28 is changed by task 32 btw, see further)

This is the "hard reset" command the standard RomUpdateUtil performs after flashing a rom. This has been changed in the customRUU's floating around on xda-devs to "task 32" so that one can flash a radio without hardresetting the device.

In the RUU of doloop the default "task 32" has been changed to "task 29". (kudoos to doloop for having the guts to try this out in the first place)

So, that's fairly easy.... Now the hard part is how to hexedit the damn thing, so that it doesn't reset the HD2 after performing a "task 29". In experimenting with hexediting the RUU if found out that after it performs the task commando it pefroms the command: ResetDevice (see screen2)

Now, removing the ResetDevice command will result in an error. The best that can be done here is to replace that command for a command that will a) cause the device not to reset itself, or b) does a reset but causes the device to enter the bootloader again.

I used several "task" and "info" commands here but none of them worked, except one.... "taks 8". (see screen3)

Unfortunately though, this little "harmless" change killed or bricked my HD2 completely. After that, I couldn't experiment anymore :D .... So if you want to take it over from me, be my guest, but be aware!

BTW, make sure that when you replace ResetDevice you replace it with a command of the exact same lenght. If it is shorter, replace the dots with spaces (hex code 20)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsnag:
question

will doing this while i flash prevent my phone from freezing up and not going to the homescreen? like now sometimes when im in a menu or something and i 'x' out it keeps showing the last screen before that but the top bar changes.

Newest NOOB needs help with Doloop Task 29

In advance thanks for all help, I've searched and can't find answer. I have TMOUS HD2 and ran Task 29. It ran fine, quick, I pulled batt and now it will boot to bootloader.

My problem is I did not copy new rom files to sd card before doing this. Now I cannot connect to PC via usb. Tried multiple usb ports on an xp box and on my win7 box. When moved to different usb the PC loads drivers and I hear a connection noise, but active sync says it is not connected, I've tried both PCs, with and without sim, fired up hd2 with and without usb plugged in, I can't seem to connect to PC.

Also when I start hd2 without usb and boot to tricolor, I see "serial" at the bottom, and when I plug in usb it changes to "usb". So all seems normal, just can't connect to PC.

My thoughts are to find another way to get my sd card connected to PC, then copy the rom file to sd card.

Any thoughts on why I can't connect to PC, and any other suggestions to fix????? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vgunmanga:
You don't need to be syncing with Activesync to flash. Just run the RUU, wait for the connection sound and click ok. As long as you are in bootloader, it will flash.

If it still won't run(It should), try a installing different ROM as well.

(Activesync won't connect because it is not present on your device, it's been wiped)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dannywall:
OK, thanks, I'm on right track now. I completely misunderstood directions. I thought some roms flashed through an "Autoinstall" folder on sd card. So it seems like all flashing is done with some kind of RUU and the Tom's Autoinstall installs EXTRA cabs, right?

Also your point about Activesync is no longer on the phone makes sense.

My other problem is that the rom I was trying didn't work for me. I would get to the first white screen from Tmob, and it just sits there, forever. I took your advice and tried a different rom, and it flashed.

Thanks very much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vgunmanga:
@dannywall

NP, glad I could help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] willr001:
You can flash a ROM from the SD card. It seems most ppls preferred method, though there can be problems with SD card formatting and brands that make it hard to get the HD2 to see the rom file. You just need to rename the .nbh file to "LEOIMG.nbh" if it is not already, and copy to the storage card. (not in any folders, in the root of the storage card "/Storage Card/LEOIMG.nbh")

The only problem is then when you want to run Task29 from your computer or something after that, you either have to remove your sd card, or have to press vol down or power or something when the bootloader gets stuck wanting to load the rom off the sd card. It won't get all the way to the "USB" mode without user input if you have a valid LEOIMG.nbh on SD, since that's the order it checks them.

Happy flashing!

I have downloaded and unziped Task29 but when running it gives me alot of errors, basically an error from every files that it tries to open.

Has anybody else come across this?

I can get a screenshot if needed.

I have installed several custom ROM's (infact just put on another) so I am aware of what to do in that sense.

Any help appreciated as I want to clear it and start a fresh!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vgunmanga:
Are you changing anything in the folder?

What desktop OS are you using?

I have not encountered any issues with it on Windows 7. Try running the program as Administrator or in compatibility mode. Download and extract again to make sure it is not a corrupt file or something.

PS: a screenshot or error code is always VERY helpful.

I am having problem with Task29/flashing rom at the moment. I have done both of these tasks before without a problem.

I have recently upgraded to HSPL 2.08 and also started running android on my HD2.

So tonight I wanted to flash a new WM rom, i run task29 as per usual and my phone went to bootloader as usual, and then the HTC screen with 0% progress bar... after that it just sits there for 5 minutes without anything happening.

Eventually the i will get an error message on the PC saying the image was not flashed and gone into recovery process.

I restarted the phone by removing and inserting battery, the old WM rom was untouched.

I have also tried flashing the new WM rom without task 29, basically exactly same thing. Got to the progress bar screen and just sits at 0%.

Any idea what has gone wrong???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes you probably let hspl3 use teh default option, which is 2.08.0000., which is stock.

Run hspl3 again but in teh dropdown choose 2.08.hspl

I have the Tilt 2 from ATT and I have download and I have the new rom from the HTC site. I successfully flashed the rom with the tool provided by HTC but I still see a lot of junk from the old rom.
