what are you trying to do?? if its connect to the pc to flash a rom then its just volume down you should be pressing not up and down mate
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dani93s:
ohhh sorry

i always thought that everything goes with vol up vol down, because i always made it this way by flashing ah rom. :o

thank you very much for your help and your patience. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
no probs mate, reading the threads do help though
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Edit: I see it has been answered and resolved already.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JhonKa:
umm... i need some help.

I ran task29 in admin mode on my pc and it finished ok and everything. installed to 100%. But now my phone is a complete brick. I've taken the battery out and it still won't power on at all. Completely nothing.

I had 2.08 HSPL and a new radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
ignore this post
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Did you install a new radio? Do you have a TMO US 1024 device? If you install the incorrect radio (ie x.xx.51.xx) on that device you can have this problem and there does not seem to be any way to recover.

If it's not a TMO US device, take the battery out and leave it out for about 10 minutes. You can also then try charging it while switched off. IIRC some users have had this problem of it not starting up when the power was a little low - not sure what the threshhold is but I seem to recall reading some posts to this effect somewhere in my journeys ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
OMG Upgrade ROM code error please try again on bootloader ????
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Was that during or after running Task29 or while flashing a new rom? As the error code says just try again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
that was after task 29 i dont know got a rom working again somehow lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
All's well that ends well ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
not quite sure what happened really, had the miri dinik rom on, fancied energy new rom, so used task 29 (for win 7) then installed energy rom, went well didnt like it tried to go back having none of it, eventually had to set the pc up and sort the drivers out to use mtty hey ho
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GiantsFan91:
is this work great for tmobile htc hd 2? i used to flash task29 with 2.08.50.05 radio. i dont like to flash new radio after flashed task29 with 2.08.50.05.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] waichai:
i replace my own radio 2.08.50.08_2 when flashing task29. So i don't have to flash a new radio after using original task29 with itself radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] renton0:
Well, i decided to go through and "clear/format" my phones memory with this and afterwards , phone started freezing and having Black Screen ...to the point where i press the end/power key to unlock the phone and id be just black. I Followed the instructions just like the video on You Tube ...and now ROMS that worked flawlessly before now froze and went black screen on me ECT. I'm loosing my mind and i'm thinking maybe i should of just left it like it was ..but since i flashed so many ROMS i thought it would do my TmoUS HD2 some good..At first all ROMS i install are speedy and perfect like they are going to work great then after a couple of hours bam it starts doing it all over again. I was thinking to flash a Stock Shipped Rom then do the HSPL2 Flash all over again see if that helped ..But i wanted to check on this Forums to Give this Flash Noob/Addict some Guidance..Thank You everyone in Advance. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cyrilic:
Apparently every time you flash a ROM to your device it leaves behind rouge data. How many flashes would merit running task 29?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
do it when moving to a different rom. If you are flashing the same rom, you shouldn't need to.

(Personally i dont do it every time even then, i wait and see if the flash is stable, and if it isn't i task 29 and flash again)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] arazvan2002:
topaz

hello,

can you modify the customruu for the topaz with task29?

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] de1boy:
Hi mate

Just wondering if you solved your problem ? I've switched to ubuntu and experiencing same stuff . It's such a good OS, only thing that keep me flashing my HD2 is XP I'm using at work :D all suggestions welcome

Task 29 Help

I lost power in the middle of the Task 29 procedure, now my phone only shows the TOUCHpro2 screen and goes no further. Am I the proud owner of a 500 dollar brick or can one of you magician cast a spell for me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Hopefully you are using a specific Task29 for your device and not the Leo one. Have you tried just rerunning Task29?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dangerously:
This thread is for the Task29 on Leo (HD2) only... But it looks like it might have worked. Being stuck at the first screen is normal (the one that pops up the "R,D,G" numbers at the bottom). This means the ROM is no longer there to boot which is what Task29 is supposed to do. Task29 does not go to your boot loader screen, you have to do that yourself. Once you are into the boot loader mode (the tri-colour screen) you can flash your desired ROM (if Hard-SPL unlocked) or your original ROM or upgrade that is specifically for your model of "TOUCHpro2".

ive given up trting. it just wont do it from within xp in a virtual machine. i may try vista, but ive have to download it to isntall in virtual box
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pocketpc.doc:
flash ROM from memory card using standard procedure.

Hi there. I have a big problem. I have downloaded the file :

'Radio 2.08.50.05 + task29' from hyperlink mentioned under 'original files' on this page.

Then i executed 'task29'. I have followed the red text : 'When update status reach 99%, press vol down button, and keep it pressed until the phone reboot to the three color bootloader' and finally i got into the 'RVB bootloader.'

So far so good right. But my phone wont start cause the rom is deleted right.

I cannot make an active sync connection cause rom is gone.

How can i get my artemis rom installed now?

This part i dont understand :

When your phone is back to RVB bootloader screen, use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package to flash a new rom, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure.

The leocustumruu.exe wont work cause rom is gone and phone wont start.

How can i flash a rom from memory card? Does anybody can help me out here?

:eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you can flash from boot loader. go into three colored screen, usb is probably already plugged in so wait for serial to become usb, run customruu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kaliro:
Same probl

I have the same probl like the one above...but I can't keep it into the tree colour scren not more tha a sec....then it goes to boot I press vol up and I get stoc with a white screen with htc logo . Can some one be more explicit to me ?.Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
press vol down, not vol up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pocketpc.doc:
bootloader

I found out that when in bootloader, the rom could installed with the customruu.exe with a custom ROM. The HD2 connected with the micro usb cable onto the pc. The Artemis custom rom is working fine
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kaliro:
Manny thanks

To samsamuel for enlightening me! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NLkaiser:
when you run task 29, should you then also run hspl again :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No need, Task29 does not impact on hspl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] FD10:
I can't do task 29...computer gives me an error message (202) that says my hd2 isn't connect but it is connect...what can i do?? I have 2.11.50 radio and using doloop version...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jas0nw0ng:
I wanted to flash a new radio so I decided to do task29 first because people are doing it and they say it helps improve things. So I did it. I followed exactly what it says on the first page and now my HD2 is stuck on the "stick together" screen. How do I get my phone to work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
because my friend task 29 wipes youre phone you will have to re-flash a ROM now, you dont have to task 29 before changing youre radio.

and I think you already know this mate!!!

Yes, you need to test which one is best for your location, im on my fifth radio. No you do not need to flash a new ROM, you can just flash the radio (you don't need to hard reset either)

T-Mobile HD2

CHT Energy Rom June 11

Radio:2.11.50.20

I just want my HD2 to have 2 full days with a single charge...

...and an Android Phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jas0nw0ng:
But on the first post, it just says you have to flash something. Isn't a radio something? Too late now, i might as well try a new ROM while im at it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
task 29 is for flashing your device without using mtty, it flashes something not sure what to enable those with vista and 7 to use it without having to setup the drivers for mtty, if you had read that you would have know that lol, to change your radio you just use the RUU that comes with the radio and you're away.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Heart1010:
How to use this exe only file the correct way? Please explain a little bit more... Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ShaDrac:
Correct.

What I did was just creating a very tiny OS with an very tiny XIP, so that when you flash your favorite rom it always has to resize the XIP and BINFS.

If needed you can extract it from the exe.

Further I used ZipGenius (freeware) to create the zip and from that zip the exe.

You can find the icon in \OEM\LEO\0409\ProjectDefault_A\sync.ico

Enjoy!

ShaDrac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ShaDrac:
The exe is an self extracting zip file that automatic starts task29.

Every file in this exe (zip) are the files provided by doloop in the first post except the nbh (see post above).

Instruction: run the exe and follow the onscreen instructions.

But to enter bootloader mode you can also press and hold the volume down button directly after your device resets itself (when flashing is at 100%)

And, i wouldn't use customruu, but use an official ROMUpdateUtility.exe since customruu doesn't format your storage!!!

You can extract an official ROMUpdateUtility.exe and other files from an official HTC shipped rom using winrar or zipgenius.

From those files you just extracted, replace the ruu_signed.nbh with your favorite rom and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.

Enjoy!

ShaDrac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mnet:
btw to stop it from resetting you can hex edit "task 8"

edit: it seems leo uses a different method because i can't find task 8. perhaps "ResetDevice" at 0x43be0h
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
oh, I had initially thought that this will be the command executed prior to the exact flash, but it sounds like it's the other way round, which defeats the purpose of this driver-less, mtty-less task29 command.

is it possible to execute the command *before* the image gets flashed into the device? That way, it will really benefit everybody.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mazzarin:
It really is a step forward. Yes, it's a two-step process, but for those of us on Vista/7 (64-bit doubly so!) this is a much lower barrier than going through the mtty process.

(Yes, I know, mtty is very easy, still, this is easier ;))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pongster:
+1 on a task29 before the image even gets flashed.

Maybe someone could build it into a new CustomRUU that will always "task29" before flashing a new ROM:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
Yeap, that would be great :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pongster:
Just to clarify, I though a task29 would already format my storage? So it would be better to just extract the shipped ROM and replace the ruu_signed.nbh and flash using the ROMUpdateUtility even after a task29?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poussinou69:
That's a great tool, particularly for the Seven Mtty users.

In fact, it would be fabulous if task 29 was built in the CustomRUU.exe to format the rom before each OS custom flash.

I hope that a genius can do it here :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
That would be Great if that happens...its more easier....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cliver:
Clarification for a noob

Bear with me if I ask some simple questions here but I'm fairly new to the HD2 and to this forum although I have flashed a rom or two ;)

I believe I am right in saying task 29 does not touch the installed radio?

If this is correct what difference does it make if the task 29 is done before or after the radio flash?

Maybe I'm missing a point but please be patient with replies :confused:

Also if the storage has just been formatted by task 29 what is wrong with using CustomRUU.exe?

Again sorry if this sounds simple (I not simple honest :p) but I just want a simple method of formatting my device so I can be sure of getting a clean new rom flashed and this looks to be just the job.

Thanks to all who input on these threads your knowledge and help is much appreciated by those of us trying to learn without making to many bricks :rolleyes:

Regards

Clive
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] doloop:
The whole idea behind this is to flash roms (not radio) in one step. For that to happen, we need rom update utility to start with task 29 (format binfs), then continue and flash a custom rom.

For now, no one knows how to hack rom update utility so task 29 is called before flash. The only hack known is when task 29 is called after the flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
Afaik the official ROM update tool already formats the NAND with task 28 and this should be sufficient,

and yes, it is done BEFORE flashing the ROM. How else should it be working if it would be the other way around...

Also pay close attention to the last sentence of my other post!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
From your question, you are definitely not a noob :)

1.The radio is just flashed so "something gets done" as the ruu needs some activity. Its just a stubborn prerequisite at the moment, task 29 doesn't format the radio. As someone mentioned you could just go ahead and use a splash screen flash not even a radio, which takes even less time.

2. There is nothing wrong with CustonRUU, when you finish using the above tool, then upon device restart boot in bootloader and go ahead with RUU and the rom of your choice. I know what might have confused you is the people saying why doesn't it task 29 then flash "automatically". Well its just laziness talking :p, Basically they want the it as one task and not 2 as its now. Now you do two things (although the first one is very very short), so its no biggie.

So to break it down into steps, maybe easier to understand (if I have this right):

Basically you have 3 choices currently (and are wishing for a 4th one):

a With the above tool:

1. this tool will first flash radio or splash screen or even rom (all of them are actually useless, but are necessary to perform, for the next step to work, and we opt for radio or splash screen as it takes a much shorter time than a rom)

2. it will perform task 29

3. On restart, enter boot loader (Vol up/down)

4. Radio will be fine, but there will be no rom on device (due to the above task), so you flash the rom of your choice.

b With MTTY:

1. (a) On Vista/Win7: go trough the headache of installing unsigned drivers (see MTTY guide) then install MTTY (sometimes windows update might reconfigure/overwrite these driver to the new ones on its own, so might have to perform this task every time you want to MTTY)

1. (b) On XP: just run MTTY

2. input MTTY commands in consul (tesk x, task y, etc.)

3. 3. On restart, enter boot loader (Vol up/down)

4. Radio will be fine, but there will be no rom on device (due to the above task), so you flash the rom of your choice.

c With stock rom

1. Flash stock rom (it takes a long time, but task 28 is performed, which seems to be just as good and some even argue its better)

2. Flash custom rom of your choice.

d. Not yet available The tool some are asking for (obviously would be good for all of us):

Run the fully automated tool/modified RUU which will:

1. Perform task 29

then

(maybe even automatically restart itself in bootloader)

2. flash custom rom.

I hope I have all this right, so might help some folks, more easily understand what this tool actually does. I haven't actually tried this new tool (waiting for a new rom), so might have gotten some points wrong. If so, please let me know and I will edit the steps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
I am not as technical informed as you might be in this topic, but

... is not true. MTTY topic (both in HD and HD2 section) and a lot of custom rom forums, have many people state that they finally got rid of funny bugs after using task 29. If you read trough MTTY tread, you will see its not rare at all.

As for Task 28 vs. task 29, I don't know, and you might be right, but then again, you cant argue against task 29 being 20x faster, than flashing stock rom (task 28) then flashing rom of your choice. I don't know, for a fact about which does a better job of formating, but it doesn't seem to make much difference if looking at the ends (in respect of justifying the means).

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pongster:
Cool Info! So task 28 could be even better than task 29 based on that post...

that means I can just extract the contents of the "Shipped ROM" and replace with my .nbh and flash using the official ROM update tool to ensure task 28 is done before flashing my Cooked ROM... :)

Will try that out...:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oalex:
I don't know how that will work, but please report back your findings :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poussinou69:
@Oalex : it's really comprehensive. Thanks to you for this summary ;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gianton:
tom includes in his roms the stock contents for flashing instead of the customruu.exe. it's there for a reason. but i always do a task 29 before my daily rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jas0nw0ng:
alright, Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] blwebb68:
Maybe someone could help me. I used Task29 to wipe my memory. But the only problem I still have is, I have the same spalsh screen from two previous flashes. It will not disappear no matter what I try. Anyone know of a fix?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the splashscreen (splashscreenS, there are two) exist in their own part of memory and aren't wiped when you change roms.

Some cooked roms, and all stock roms, include a splash screen.

Just like radios radios, you can flash them in exactly the same way.

Make your own! heres a how-to
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dharvey4651:
Has this been incorporated yet? I'm interested in adding this utility to the Flash sequence in my kitchen.

1- ROM finishes building

I want to add this step>>> 2- Task29 is run, completed - goes back to bootloader

3- CustomRUU is run, completed - ROM boots

4- Temp files deleted
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you running Task29 as Administrator? Try putting device into bootloader mode first and ensure that usb shows at the bottom of the screen before running.

Not AFAIK, I haven't seen any reference to any new functionality being announced.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mocapi64:
hey does task29 work with the htc touch hd???:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
With a few tweaks yes. There is a version specifically for the HD which is available on the HD ROM Development forum - check it out ;). Basically it entails unpacking the Leo Task29 and replacing the Leo radio/rom nbh file with an HD radio file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rizky_p:
I still dont get it with task 29 thingy. is it really flashing a radio first in order to trigger task 29? or the flashing radio part is only a dummy not really flashing a new radio?

I am a bit scarred to try it since i am running a HD2 TMOUS version.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
customruu has been edited to perform a task 29 after it has finished flashing. This means it must flash something otherwise it would fail to run, and so not perform anything, let alone task29. Therefore, generally people use a radio, because that isn't removed with task29. If you used a rom, it would still work, but it would flash the rom, then remove it again, wasting time. You could use a splashscreen if you wanted, or i think the shadrac repack uses a blank nbh file.

If only the edited customruu could be edited to perform task 29 FIRST, , then you could use it to flash your rom, and it would do the task29 first, , , , which would be handy, but i dont think it is practical.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brockyneo:
can it be done from sd card
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No it can't.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rizky_p:
So i need to find a compatible radio for my HD2 TMOUS for this task 29 to performed.

thanks for clearing it out for me :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brockyneo:
does task 29 without drivers, without mtty. mean the drivers and mtty will be deleted:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
i dont think so, its just another route of doing it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brockyneo:
ok

:confused: thanks ive done a task 29 and can flash from windows fine but when i try from sd card it always says update failed after around 4 percent never had problems before
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
personally never tried from flash, always do it from windows mate sorry cant help, Clyde and sam and Mskip are the best guys to ask in here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Task29 should have no impact on flashing via sd card. I do most of my rom flashing via pc but I have flashed a few times via sd card and have no problems. I do Task29 before every flash.

Try a different sd card if you have one, or else try formatting the card again (FAT32)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Ok guys we need help i have took this guy through all the stages and its still stuck on white HTC screen,

done mtty, flashed radio same as my sig, his bootloader is exactly the same as mine and tried to flash Miri dinik ROm and still stook at white screen

this is what mine says in bootloader mode,

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

his is exactly the same and we still stuck on white screen i thought it was a radio problem but my rom works fine on this radio
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Is he 100% sure that the radio flash took? Try re-installing the radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] huwhuww:
