[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
off course :)

when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY

read this post to know what made me such a firm fan of mtty.http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5898010&postcount=6085

but the thing is, mtty is and can be hard to use for new users. ... for me,, i was having the worst time installin the drivers needed to run mtty on win7 x64. so u i made this tool for me and for all :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TorbenKB:
Nice tool. :)

Is it possible to run this tool from mSD card, since my phone cannot connect to PC via USB?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Badwolve1:
bookmarked thanks Badwolve1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
Thanks for simplifying this process agent_47. One question, can we do a backup using spb, then use the tool, reflash a rom and restore the backup? Or does the backup cause those possibly bad or corrupt files to be copied back to the device? Just wondering if I can save some time of setting the rom back up:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
nope....that exe is a win32 app....our device is only a win CE

u can, but i don do that. the max i do is backup some regs. with sooo may different form of wm6.5, i would sta y way from entire system back up....

but to answer ur question, spb backup wont through any bugs related to corrupt file/bad sectoring/mirror files :)

How to flash new stock HTC ROM after Task 29?

Hey, just wondering how I would flash the new stock HTC rom after task 29, as it is just an exe file with no custom RUU?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] crachel:
The EXE is probably just an archive. Open it with your favorite archiving app (7-zip, etc) and you will see the NBH
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bjevers:
So I would assume you shouldn't have to hard reset after flashing a rom if you first perform this internal format, correct?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bjevers:
I think he means can we just flash the nbh file from sd card instead of using the ROMUpdateUtility through USB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
use the custumruu provided with ur rom. eberithing uploaded by me in the archive is only to be used for task29

ya....but it wont hurt to do so either

either ways, the answer is a no :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TorbenKB:
Ok. Thanks. :( I need to get the USB plug fixed then.. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] venelar:
thanks for this! much faster than reverting to stock rom occasionally to "clean up"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
Thanks much Agent_47. I only use the backup after I completely set up a rom the way I like it. That way I can quickly go back to that same setup if I have to (crashes or whatever the cause may be). ONLY on the same exact rom though, build and chef. And to make sure I understand, spb backup doesnt touch sectors of internal memory anyway (just reg entries and actual files) , so it shouldn't matter using a backup copy after using task29?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johng75:
weird?

got a problem, i used the Task29 internal memory format tool from agent_47 to clean im internal memory. put the nbh file on a blank 2gb formatted sd card. put the card inside the rhodium, held down the vol down button and powered on, im in the boot loader but it hasnt progressed anywhere? the connection type says serial... any ideas?

when i just power on my phone, they only thing that shows is the ATT world phone image
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
yes. because ur not reading instructions......(remane nbh) :p

also if ur nbh is less that 20mb, read post 1 again :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johng75:
sorry, i re-read what i wrote, let me rephrase... after i ran your tool from my computer while connected via usb, it finished and rebooted, i them put my rom nbh file (RHODIMG.nbh, 186mb) on a blank sd card, entered boot loader and thats where i am

[SOLUTION FOUND]

i took out the mSD card, loaded into bootloader, and when i plugged in the USB cable, it changed from serial connection to USB and let me flash from my system... ill poke around in the flashing thread for my mSD card issue...

your tool works great!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
Awesome tool! Saves me time. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jordinho:
thank you, works excellent
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] smoeki:
Thanks for making this easy!

Agent_47 Task 29 is great. thanks for making it so simple to use my tilt 2 was continuously frezzing on me no matter wht i did until i used this and no more prob!!:D thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
Whoa... Wait a Minute!

Found this on the Leo forum, therefore, it may not actually work for the Rhodium:

So, would this mean, I can flash my stock AT&T ROM to essentially do what running Task29, on its own, would have done simpler and faster on my Tilt 2?

I cannot flash anything via USB as my port will only charge. If this is also correct for the Rhodium, then I can happily flash away without worries! :D

Please let me know, either here or privately, if this option does indeed work for the Rhodium, as it did with Kaiser.

Many thanks, my XDA friends. :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If you can't flash via USB, then you haven't got much choice, you can't run Task29 so you can try and flash a stock ROM. However, when you flash a new, cooked ROM, you won't be doing such a clean install as if you did Task29.

I'm not sure whether flashing a stock ROM wipes out the ROM before it starts. I highly doubt it, because otherwise surely the customRUU that cooked ROMs use this would do this too ? But I may well be wrong, I am only guessing.

I don't know personally whether flashing a stock ROM (given you have no USB) will be any better than just doing a hard reset before you flash a new cooked ROM. But it certainly won't hurt, except taking a bit longer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
Why can't one flash task 29 via the SD card? Just rename the task 29 to RHODIMG.nbh and put it in the root directory of the SD card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I thought it didn't work ? If it does then that's obviously the way forward !

Edit - did a search, and according to agent_47 in the post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5938035&postcount=12 , you can't do task29 from SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
To me (although I'm not a techie, by any means), it sounds as if that should work, but after reading agent_47's response in the link you mentioned, he says it won't. But, then again, he wasn't addressing a specific question of changing the Task29 file name to RHODIMG.nbh either.

Hey, I'm just a user, not a developer, so what the hell do I know! ;)

Debbie

...Who's not a gambler, so she won't be renaming any files, unless a willing guinea pig successfully does it first! LOL! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
u can rename all the files in ur harddrive to rhodimg n try to flash via sd n still it wond do the trick..... i think its wiser to try n get the active sync working than come up with these rediculas ideas :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
Which is why I am all too keenly aware of the limits of my knowledge, therefore I have no false delusions... However, I'm not afraid to ask questions. ;)

Hey, it wasn't my idea! LOL!

I appreciate your chiming in here, agent_47. I'm thinking that I've got as much of a chance in buying a new device, as I do getting my USB fixed, as HTC has quoted me a ballpark of $96-$294 in repair costs if they deem it is not a warranty repair. Yikes! :eek: Yeah, I know which way my luck would go on that one! :p

Guess I won't be flashing very often, then. :rolleyes:

Thanks again,

Debbie
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
I'm not sure that he was saying it won't work, he was addressing a whole bunch of replies and saying it wouldn't help the problem in that thread. In any case, I don't think it would hurt to try.

The task 29 looks exactly the same as a normal ROM upgrade except that it completes faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SacTilt:
So then if you "don't think it would hurt to try ", let us know how it goes. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] twopumpchump:
you cant flash task 29 from sd, you must use the .exe through usb port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rodbac:
I keep getting the "communication error" mentioned a couple pages back, although I've made sure to download the proper files (I tried both doloops task29.exe as well as agent_47's pkg).

I just flashed with the stock 6.5 ROM from Sprint/HTC- is it safe to assume it "task29'd" since it was a 'stock' ROM, or do I need to spend more time figuring out why these task29s can't erase my phone?

If the latter, anyone have any more ideas about why I'm getting that error?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
Can you provide an explanation why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blast0id:
try Start>Settings>Connections>USB and uncheck the box under activesync... this is the only way I can get it to work properly on my phone... maybe that will help you?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blast0id:
because the exe which you run on your computer is what performs the "task29" function... not the .nbh... the .nbh is basically just a dummy file to "fool" the MODIFIED exe into thinking you are flashing something... you can't run any exe's while in bootloader mode so there is no way to run the exe FROM your device... I may be partially wrong on some of this... but I think that is the basic jist of it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
Ah, that explains things. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
correct.....i couldn say it any better than this

thnx :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
turn off firewall n anti virus

also goto start - srtting - communication- usb2pc and deselect the enable fast data sync.

Hehe- that must be my problem. Dmn thing is still locked.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Andr3Wcz:
Hi agent!

Here is my problem:

I have SODs after I tried Arks rom. I always use your program before flashing, and now i use Energy rom, but today i have noticed when i flashed new radio, that my phone is shown as Arks rom (not energy that i use). So I think that SOD can be caused by some files that persists in memory and Task29 dont erase them. Is it possible? If it was, it could be the solution for SOD bug.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HTC_Germany:
Great!!

Had Problems after testing around 10 ROMs in 3days, after task29, the device works fine!!

Thank you very much

no, THANK YOU flashing has been a breeze with this!

I just used Task29 provided by doloop on my Sprint TP2.

Now the USB is not able to connect to the active sync.

Can any one please help me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SacTilt:
You need to boot to the bootloader screen (hold down the volume down button while hitting the reset button).

This was in the first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] uip:
Thanks you for your reply;

I didn't explain myself correctly, what I should have said was that I just used Task29 provided by doloop on my Sprint TP2.

Now the USB is not able to connect to the active sync.

Once I'm on the Bootloader screen, and it shows "USB", the Active sync does not work, it is not able to connect to phone.

I can't run/sync the ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the 4 30 23563 Dusk.zip

Can anyone please help me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] uip:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blast0id:

Task29 potential harm to device?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678336
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blast0id:
ummm... no... don't go spreading misinformation... sorry, but those sound like ROM (most likely) or hardware issues (much less likely) but definitely not possible to be cause by this...

all it does is format ROM memory, which can not and will not harm your device... as many people that use this, there would be a lot more than just you, if it did/could cause issues... law of averages... sorry, but please don't spread the misinformation, it does wonderful pieces of software like this an injustice...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
No-one else has reported this sort of problem. So no, I don't think it's harmful at all, quite the contrary, it is very useful and can help avoid problems with flashing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mistercartman:
I`ve tried flashing my touch pro 2 with the task29 program, but it just stops at 0%. And after a couple of minutes the program says "connection error".

Do I need to press anything as the program starts up? I just click ok-update and ok until it starts updating. But it never seems to clear the memory.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kal87:
i found it easier to flash from my SD card after using task 29, have had no problems, thanks =)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
Did you have hardspl installed? My guess is that you don't :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] godwinvandamme:
hardspl

i am guessing that without hardspl ..the program task29 will not work...

right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blast0id:
exacterry...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] toadlife:
I just ran this and my TMo touch po 2 is now DEAD.

Sometimes I can get it to the bootloader, but when I start to flash the screen goes dark and the ruu gives a communication error.

I think my Tp2 is bricked.

EDIT: I left it sitting for awhile after running the task 29 ruu. Could the problem be that my battery is dead? I'm letting it charge with the wall charger right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] toadlife:
Looks like it might just be my battery.

See this thread.

BEWARE - DON'T BE A DUMBASS LIKE ME AND LEAVE YOUR PHONE LYING AROUND AFTER RUNNING THIS!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Henz77:
Well. I usually back up via ActiveSync. After flash to a new ROM. Just connect. Choose the option to combine phone n pc. N I never lost my contact n favorites . Well before flashing u have to back up first. Maybe using Pim back up or else. But ActiveSync worked for me. OS corz sync with Outlook also

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
This is what I get when searching for error 266.

ERROR 266 (Update Error - Not able to detect the USB connection):

Remove the memory card before flashing again. This error code can also show up if updating from within a windows virtual machine. Try upgrading on a native windows OS.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes, you need to do it once. Sorry but I have no idea how to help you on a Mac. It doesn't sound promising so far. Boot Camp will let you actually boot Windows, won't it ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
did u install the active sync manager? as long as the quamtum cpu driver is installed u can flash from ur system.

the driver that i refer to is the device detected by ur pc when u connect ur device to pc in bootloader mode

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
thank you guys

you made my day!

i bought the tp2 one week ago and was lucky until i flashed the current HTC ROM. after that i had black screens every day and sometimes every 15 minutes.

finally i found this thread.

after i executed task29 the internal memory seemed to be empty. only the splash appeared.

then i flashed the ROM from my microSD.

now the phone does its job very well since about 10 hours. that's the longes uptime of my phone since i own it ;)

great job.
