Help I did this and when I am in bootload screen my device is not being detected to install the new ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Eroc162:
quick question

I ran a task 29 on my phone so this would have erased the last rom. I flashed the asterios premium rom and my total storage memory is only like 224mb and 100mb that I can use. Did I do something wrong. My last rom I had like 689mb of total storage memory ang close to 435mb of usable memory.

Any ideas
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cain_oo7:
is there any utility that erases the wrong rom installed for XDA ATom. i installed the wrong rom for ATOM and i cant use the phone because it always reboots when i turn it on.

thanks in advance..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Nurra:
OK if the idea of task 29 is to remove any remnants of old rom, can i flash a new rom twice? that way anything remained is actually the rom im flashing, right?

So I can flash using the micro sd method. Im a lot more comfortable using sd method than a pc method.

What do u guys think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

can someone explain me please step by step how to perform a task29? Do I do it from PC or have I to copy the file to device. Any help appreciated, because my HD2 seems to be bricked now. Cannot do anything with it, it's stuck at the startup screen which tells you the Radio version, etc.

Regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jigners:
can you still go to bootloader? (press and hold volume down + briefly press power button = tri color screen). if so.

1. in HERE, download the "Original Files" (megaupload link)

2. Unzip with 7z911.exe (google this, excellent and free unzipping tool)

3. in the same file, you can either use the Radio file that came with it or change to a Radio compatible with Android if you are testing it.

4. enter bootloader

5. connect to pc via usb - wait till it says usb at the bottom of the tri color screen then

6. right click task29.exe run as administrator.

7. let it run till it comes to the end that the screen is all white.

(this is the part that task 29 has formatted the partition in your hd2 where the

ROM resides, so dont panic, technically your hd2 has no OS ROM, just the radio

that you use when you run task 29 - (task 29 needs any .nbh file ie., Radio, Splash screen .nbh

or a ROM .nbh in order for it to do its job of formatting your

hd2)

8. unplug from pc, remove battery

9. enter bootloader again, reconnect to pc, wait till usb shows at the bottom of the tri color screen

10. flash your chosen winmo ROM, (if your testing Android chose one that is compatible)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dorigny:
Is that sure that T29 erase ALL data on the Nand ? I'm not very sure, I have some old data from other room (like sounds in alarm...)...

is mtty more powerfull ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
thats why you see instructions that usually recommend doing a manual hard reset after the flash has finished.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi Jigners,

yes I can still go into bootloader mode and thank you very much for your detailed answer, much obliged!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] feridoun:
Hi everyone.

I'm having the same problem here. All of my ROM updates were failing, so I updated the HSPL to 2.08. I tried updating the radio and that also failed. Trying to update a stock ROM from the SD card gives the error message 'Upgrade ROM code error'.

I thought I would try Task 29 but it won't get past 0%.

Does anyone have any advice??

Many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] feridoun:
Just to add to this, I tried running task 29 through mtty

Just to edit this post to clarify, I've run task 28 aswell and no luck either.

Any other tips?

Thanks

what if i have an HTC Tytn II with no volume down button

but i have a scrolling wheel , am i suppressed to keep rolling the wheel down????
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mobiad:
Not much clear, with the Task 29.

Example: I have one ROM without the radio version.

There is no radio version of the radio inside the ROM.

I use Task 29, and he should then all that is formatted.

Flashing ROM without radio,

And yet radio has a old version

What is it you actually format?

How can this be?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Schyrayyy:
cannot enter into boot loader

Hello!

Please, let me to have a question for You!

What should I do if I cannot enter into the boot loader after task29, whatever I push /vol down, power, reset/

Please reply, because I'm loosing my healthy menthal state...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Make sure you hold the volume down button in and while still holding it in switch the phone on and keep holding it in until it boots into bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] El Che:
so if i use this then i'll have to flash the radio first after task29 right ?

meaning once task 29 is complete do i flash a radio first then the rom or i just flash the rom after task 29 ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi,

Firstly you should do task 29

Thereafter you should flash the correct radio

Finally you may flash the ROM

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] El Che:
i did task29 but it didn't delete my radio so i flashed rom straight afterwards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
It so strange. All references that I know, say that task 29 will clear out the memory. How do you know your radio version? is it after task 29 or after you flash the ROM? All stock rom contains radio.

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] casemandan:
the bootloader should tell you the radio version even without a rom

also when u first load windwos it will too

or just look in the settings under software
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I think you missunderstand me ;)

Bootloader (the four colour screen) doesnt show your radio.

I know that the radio can be checked when booting (the splash screen, not bootloader screen) or under the software tab in Sense.

The fact that you can boot your phone and you can see the radio in the Sense tab, it means that the radio is there. If the radio version is the same as the one before you flash the radio, it means task 29 didnt work or it means you flash the same radio version. Or else, you flashed the ROM that contains the same radio.

EDIT:

I have just been informed by Samsamuel that the task 29 actually doesnt erase the radio.

The only way to change your radio is by way of flashing another radio. [Thanks Samsamuel :) ]

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thanetrunner:
I have Task29'd my HD2, but now i cannot go out of the Bootloader.

I only getting the threecoloured bootscreen even after a flash with a ROM and RADIO.

Anyone an idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Remove your battery and charge it until full.

Now, go into bootloader (press vol down + power on)

See below (at white color part) whether there is "serial".

If yes, connect your cable to your PC until the "serial" change to "USB"

Now you can flash your rom, but make sure that you have SPL 2.08 HSPL if you want to flash cooked rom.

cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] d34th:
Do I need it?

I just wanted to know if I am supposed to do this.

All i did was HSLP to 2.08 and that's it.

I've been flashing new rom every 3 weeks without any problems.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, it's not necessary, but it is recommended to use it at least occasionally especially if you do flash new roms frequently. If you start picking up strange bugs on your new roms which nobody else seems to be experiencing then I'd try the Task29
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] enyaj:
Can someone help. I am performing a task29 on my HD2. Never had problems with this before did this almost 100 times until now. It gets stuck at 58%. I have waited for a long time but it doesn't move anymore. I have WIN 7 OS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you're gonna have to pull the battery at some point. how long you leave it is probably immaterial after say, 10 minutes of the same %.

When it restarts, go straight into bootloader. If your product code (the top line PB 81100 blah blah or something) looks normal, and the spl line looks normal (x.xx.xxxx) then you should be fine. Flash a rom (stock would be good here) and fingers crossed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jigners:
Task 29 does not touch the Radio of your device only

the partition where the ROM resides

I even do Task 29 with a the .nbh file of radio 2.15

pull your battery out, thats the only way you can get out of bootloader
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gurkhali1:
Remove sd and sim card before running task29

Hi guys is it necessary to remove the sd and sim card before running task29? The reason I am asking is I dropped my hd2 and had to stick the battery cover with super glue. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no, but you will need to re enter bootloader after task29 finishes, , if you dont hold voldown quick enough it will try to boot but no rom to boot to, so you will need to pop the battery. (unless you drilled a hole for the reset button?)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IssamRazza:
Hello,

I've searched in this thread before posting but I couldn't find an answer to my problem.

I had HSPL 2.08 on my htc hd2 EU vodafone. Then I performed Task 29 on my phone after that i changed my HSPL 2.08 to 1.66.

The problem is, I can't get it started or in Bootloader. I have tried using power butteon + vol down or vol down + up and power button, but my pc just doesn't recognize the phone.

I does vibrate when i connect it to the USB port or press the power button..

Did I do something wrong? What did I do wrong? Is there a solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I see that you did task 29. Meaning, there is no ROM in your Leo.

In order to go into the boot loader, firstly charge your phone until full.

Then, when the phone is off, press the vol down button and the power on button "at the same time". If you succeed, you can do flashing using PC via active sync.

To know whether your PC recognize your Leo, when in bootloader mode, check below your screen (the white part) if it is say "USB" then it means your Leo get connected to PC. If it say "Serial", your phone is not connected to your PC. In this case, try to unplug the cable, and replug it.

If still fail, you can try other usb port in your PC, try at the behind port (not front port), if still fail, you may try with your friend PC.

BTW, what OS is your PC? Some time, vista or win 7 having this kind of trouble. Try win XP.

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IssamRazza:
Thanks a lot for your fast reply,

I will try and charge the phone fully, and get it in boatloader again.

I use Windows 7 64bit ultimate.

When i get home i will check out if my pc does recognize the phone as you said.

:)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
there are three areas of memory, , , ,splashscreen, radio and rom. When you task29 it ONLY removes the rom. the radio is still there, and teh splashcreen is still there.

Dexter rom is GONE. If you now flash a new rom that includes a splashscreen, it will replace it, if teh new rom doesnt include a splashscreen, it will stay as dexter splashscreen. its not a problem, its just a picture, it doesnt mean anything.

Help... please..

Hello, can somebody explain how this work in a htc tp2 RhodiumW? a step by step installation for the noobs like me never hurt anybody... thx guys... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
IIRC the exe that you are referring to is only for the HD2 as it contains a small HD2 rom image file. This will not work on the TP2. In the first post there is a link to the original files from Doloop. Download and extract the Task29.exe file, then right click on the .exe and extract the files again. you'll see one of the files is named RUU_signed.nbh. If you replace this file with a small splash screen file or even a compatible radio file for the TP2 this would possibly work. If you head over to the Blackstone ROM forum there is a thread where a similar exercise was done for the Blackstone (HD). I haven't tried this so can't vouch for it working and you will take the risk yourself.

There are no special installation procedures as it works the same as flashing a rom. The only thing is that after running Task29, the rom area is formatted so there is no rom for the device to boot into, so just boot the device into bootloader mode and then flash the rom you want.

Hi i have HSPL, MAGLDR V1.10 and Android ROM

So i guess Task29 does remove MAGLDR (i guess) and Android ROM but does not remove HSPL. So my procedure should be next

1.Do Task29

2.Install Radio (i will go with latest 2.15)

3.Install MAGLDR (i will go with latest)

4.Install Android ROM

Am i right???

Hi there, I don't flash my ROM all that often - am about to do my 5th flash. When do you think it would be necessary to start considering task29. Just ball park - would it be after about 10 flashes? 100 flashes?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
No need to count the record :D

I sometime did sometime didnt.

But, if your phone has unexpected problem (self restarting, randomly freezing), you might need to do task 29

Just be sure that YOU HAVE HSPL installed when doing task 29

Good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I see u use win7. it has been reported that sometime it doesnt recognize the usb.

You can try to unplug and try to use other port (back port, or other port available at your computer, and always run as administrator.

Good luck

I installed 512ROM on t-mobile 1024ROM, i cant enter bootloader.

can task29 repair bad bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
official rom? (I guess so, if you cant enter bootloader) do you mean it stays black screen, no response when you hit power? if so, its dead and gone. JTAG if you have the skillz, or a repair shop with JTAG ability.

If it does come on, but hangs at the first splash, then you flashed a custom 512 rom, and you should be able to get into bootloader, in which case, different problem, and i have no answer for you.

anyone have the issue with the process freezing? in other words, it acts as if the flashing is starting, the progress indicator comes up on both the device and my laptop, but nothing happens. they both stay at zero. i've tried several times with the same result.

ok,

i installed "HSPL3_PKG" (for HD2 Leo). Seemed to be successful. I then installed "Task29 provided by doloop". the device rebooted after install, and then froze on the "stick together" screen. Anyone have any idea how i might get it back or is it toast?

thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AndrewSh:
That's the way how it works. Did you read the first post? If yes - than what do you expect to see after full format?

Now you have to flash new rom to your totally empty device.

got it

I read it, perhaps a bit too closely. After several tries i still had no luck. It was the "keep vol down pressed immediatly[sic] next" statement that got me. I had to hold the vol down button "first" then power up, in that order.

thanks for the help,

tom
