ammmm interesting :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] doloop:
exactly.

this is because flash utility needs a nbh file to write to the phone before sending task 29. as task 29 removes roms but not radio, and radio are quicker to flash, i choose this way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sardelisp:
am gonna try it too..

so we can replace the *.nbh radio with one we want every time and then flash it to the device..So a task 29 will format the memory and then we can flash as normaly the rom..

Great...thanks!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mnet:
or if you don't want to flash a radio then you could just put a splash nbh
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gianton:
great tool, but with mtty task 29 it takes a couple of secs to do this on a winxp machine. :)

i guess it would be more handy for vista/win7 users.

if someone could provide me with a blank, but valid nbh, then help me to repack all this stuff into a single exe, it should be a great step ahead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
That is exactly what came to my mind when I saw this. Right now my (And I belive most ppl.s) option is to either start up my net book (which has XP) for regular MTTY or go trough the headache of installing drivers for Win7.

Also another advantage to even MTTY under XP (if I know this right) is that we don't have to enter commands in the consul (so again time and effort saved).

If I get this right, then with this we don't need unsigned driver install on Win 7. Just to re-flash a radio of our choice and task 29 is done too? If this is so, then its great. Radio flash is really fast.

If this does work well then I would definitely recommend a sticky.

extract splash nb from official rom and repackage into nbh

i don't think you can make a totally blank nbh that would be accepted by the spl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gratian556:
To split the hair once more: I should have said x-platform concept applicability. For someone that knows how to do it, the Task29 exe could read the device ID and then apply the appropriate nbh - assuming several blank nbh files included in the exe.

However, to keep things simple I would love the current exe modded to work with the Raph. Right now I am using the one that requires a signed Raph nbh (like a radio) and then performs Task29 after the flash.

If someone can tell me how to modify and nbh so that it is blank, I will do so and sing the praises of the Task 29 package on my native (Raphael) forum.:)

Task29 is just an incredible flashing prep!

just to check the process

Hello, thank you for good advices.

While preparing upgrade of HTC TOUCH HD:

I need to check the process before installing the latest ROM, 23554.

I understand that installing the ROM is different from P3600 or P6500.

1) to erase the previous version:

- where do i load the format process ? on the memory or card ?

2) if i want to use ROM 23554:

- do i need to install every fixes, one by one from card with CAB files ?

3) i see that some developers are writting about RADIO:

- is there a compulsary need to install the RADIO file before or after the ROM upgrade ?

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
1. You run Task29 from your pc with the phone synced.

2. The cooked roms include most known hotfixes

3. You can install either before or after, although before is advised as some roms don't boot up fully without the correct radio.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djromeo:
i have tried those combination's and to hard reset as well but nothing works...I've tried them over 20+ times...still no luck it just starts up and sits on the SE LOGO! :( other then those methods is there any way to manually load any image onto the rom or to enter bootloader? mitty wont pick up the information from the rom...it picks up the USB connection though. i think task 29 deleted the bootloader information and hard reset, if that's possible...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you "unpack" the CustomRUU from a rom download - ie just click on it and let it unpack in its Windows folder, one of the files is titled EnterBootloader.exe. I haven't tried it but I believe if you copy this file to your device and then run it from there, your device should enter bootloader mode.

Edit: Sorry just read again, I guess if you can't get into your device then this solution won't work :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djromeo:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As you were typing I was editing my previous response and I realised the same thing.

If your device is connected to the pc, is it recognised - I see you say that it picks up the usb connection. Have you tried just flashing to a new rom, as that same EnterBootLoader.exe file should run and boot your device into bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djromeo:
yep, I've tried it doesn't fully pick it up because it doesn't recognize its a xperia or what type of phone it is...just the processor name...when you run the customruu for any ROM update it sits on "verifying application on phone" then it says its unable to connect..i have also tried to hard reset using two silver buttons + power and release power...it wont even enter hard reset either!

does anybody have a link to an HD2 splash screen nbh so that I can throw into task29 folder?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sanien:
Prerequisites

Hi not sure if this has been asked already but I could not find a post with it, so here goes.

In the old days to flash costume ROMS you had to have a SPL or HSPL flashed first.

But I see no one talk about that here?

1. Flash Radio

2. Run Task29 (format "disk")

3. Flash costume ROM - all done

No mention of H(SPL)???

How can you flash a costume ROM without HSPL?

Am I missing something? Of course I am but what?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
You are missing the HSPL/HSPL2 thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sanien:
Thank you

I know that SPL/HSPL is required but was just wondering as to why nobody actually mentioned it here. If someone just read this thread and started to format their stock ROM with no SPL/HSPL they would just panic.

But thanks again for clearing that up.

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
No worries. Basically if someone is at the point of looking into formatting their phone, it is generally assumed HSPL and flashing have already been covered. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sanien:
Ha :-D

Yeah but assuming can be a dangerous thing. things that may seems simple to us may not be to newbies... :)

doloop- Can i use this Task29 version on my HD (not HD2)??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, not the ShaDrac version, that includes a small HD2 rom, so it will fail. You need to use the original Doloop version and be sure to replace the radio file with one for the HD. It has been suggested that trying a splashscreen could possibly also work as you basically need to run a .nbh file and then Task29. I suggested this also in the Task29 thread on the HD forum, but I'm not sure if anyone tried it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kable:
I gotta be honest here, I have not noticed a difference whether I use task 29 or not on my TMOUS HD2.

Either a ROM works for me or it doesn't. Task 29 has never made a difference for me that I have noticed.

Just my 2 cents.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] doloop:
my experience is that without formatting binfs I have an average of one rom failure for four flash. and for each rom failure, I need 30 minutes more to redo all the work. so I don't take the risk anymore. not talking about horrible experience when my phone went slowly stuck and I absolutely need to make an urgent call. how frustrating!

It seems like half the time I read flash the radio and half the time I read you dont need to. I would prefer not too but if somebody can help me out to make sure I dont brick my phone. I would be running it on my Tmous LEO
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
task 29 needs an nbh image to work. So you can use a splashscreen or a radio. If you plan on flashing a new radio anyway, use that instead of the one that comes with task 29, and it will do both jobs, it will task 29 and it will flash your radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrip777:
I wasn't going to flash a new radio so If I just use the radio that I have on my phone what do you mean by use a splash screen?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
there are three types of .nbh file.

roms, radios and splash screens

the splash screen is the first screen that comes on when you turn on, the o2/t mo/vodafone/htc splash screens, for example.

task 29 is basically an installer just like you use when you flash a rom, except it has been edited to perform a task 29. However it still requires there to be n nbh file in the folder with it, so it can perform the flash, and then do the task 29.

Flashing a rom would be silly, what with it doing a task 29 and formatting the rom area afterwards, so usually people use a radio ( one comes with it when you download).

So, if you want a different radio than the included one, change the included radio nbh for one that you DO want, or if you dont want to change radio at all, then you can use a splash screen instead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrip777:
Okay that makes sense Im not trying to be difficult but on the 1st page the file that was repacked and says no radio required so I need to find a .nbh file for a splash screen?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
if you use the repack, that has a very small nbh file included, (i think its a splash screen) so you dont need to worry about the radio.

The shadrac repack should ONLy be used on hd2 leo. (tmous or normal)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrip777:
Okay I have a tmous HD2 so I can just run the repacked one by shadrac and then flash a rom when done and Im good to go seems easy enough..thank you for your help.

I wanted to performed task29.

I downloaded the file, connected my HD2 to a PC (running Win7 Prof 64bit)

Launched the proramme as administrator, continued as advised on the screen, however when the process started, the progress bar appeared.

After that nothing, instead the phone started to Flash a ROM that was on my storage card.

I am using one of Energy ROMs.

Wanted to format binfs then install HKCSL stock rom

hi all,

this is my scenario, need some advice.

i have a Russian version HD2,

The HD2 currently have,

*lastest Energy Rom Apr 18th Cookie Edition (great rom)

* currently on HSPL2 2.08

* radio 2.10.

I wanted to format binfs using "Repack by ShaDrac" first, then install stock HKCSL 1.72 stock ROM.

I am wondering what is the steps to achieve the above ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Run Task290, when complete hold the volume down button and the device will reboot directly into bootloader again, then you can either run the stock rom.exe file from the pc or else if you have copied the rom.nbh file to the root of the sd card, you can flash from the card. (Note the latter method will remove hspl and install the stock spl.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poohpoohguy:
how or where to get the rom.nbh from stock rom executable ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Right click, select Extract here, this will "unpack" the exe file and you will see the .nbh file as one of the files extracted.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bastanamnet:
First, stop using x.xx.50.xx radio on the normal HD2 (not Tmous, USA version).

I mean, 2.10 is 2.10.50.. radio, right? (with .50. in the middle)?

Better use, naprimer, 2.9.51.. radio which was designed for classic HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
so does that mean we should stop using 2.1 based roms then? since they're for the tmous

after task29, new rom flash and hard reset, the particular boot screen of cleanx or HD2 Cell Evo it's still there

as a work around i found out that flashing a stock rom will clean the boot screen

is that means task29 WILL NOT completely clean your phone?

will task29 remain a 100% clean proof solution?

please comment!

thank you!

PS: i post this also in mtty thread so, please no comment about that. thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
Actually, if you read the 2.10.50 thread, you will find out that the 2.10.50 radio was taken from a Korean ROM which is therefore Euro/Asia and not USA...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
I believe the spashscreen is held in a different location to the ROM and from what I understand task29 just wipes the area the ROM is held in. Therefore the splashscreen and Radio locations are left untouched.

If you want to clear the splashscreen you can either flash a new splashscreen or you can install a stock ROM via the "normal" method and that will replace the ROM, Splash and Radio with whatever is in the package.

If I got any of that wrong can someone of a senior number of posts correct me please?

Is Task29 a program for all HTC devices or is it device specific for example is Task29 for the Rhodium different than Task29 for the Leo. I ran Task29 on my Rhodium yesterday and it was "cake!"...very easy to do. Now, my stepson is using the HD2 and I'm getting the impression that Task29 behavior on the HD2 is not quite the same experience; am I right or wrong?

Before Task29 came along and I had flashed my Rhodium a zillion times I never noticed any residual problems after each flash. That said, with the introduction of T-Mobile USA's version of the HD2 what other than the CPU has radically changed if any change at all?

Preferably "dumbed down" please! Thanks!
