When you say used, do you mean you performed a task29 successfully but now cannot put a rom on your device?

As with instructions at start of this thread you needed to have HSPL on your device first before you did a T29

Then you put both the rom file .nbh and ruu file into a folder. Connect device to pc using usb cable and double click on ruu file to flash your desired rom

For everyone reading this..I screwed up my phone big time with this ****ty task 29. This is not worth a try seriously. I did the task 29 with radio 17 first right after it flashed successfuly and showed me that smart mobility screen i took out the battery and started the phone in bootloader. After that i flashed with many roms including the shipped one and right after the installation the phone hangs like anything. Be it windows 6.1 or 6.5 nothing works right. If there is any alternative to get my phone working fine even with the stocked rom I will be more than grateful.

I've used all these roms and none of them seems to work. All of them hang big time

It sounds like you have successfully done a T29 but need HSPL on your device before you try to flash a rom.

What is your current SPL? Put phone into bootloader and tell me what it says after SPL

Thanks i'm still researching on what could be the possible problem. Will keep you updated once i crack it..About the SPL i downloaded all related things from xda only the spl was 1.56 and stock rom is from here too. But will try to update it from another pc to see if this pc is not causing any issues.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I doubt it will be your pc as from what you are saying you flash a rom successfully but just have issues with rom afterwards. As I said your SPL appears to match rom ytou flashed so its not an SPL issue.

If I had your device I could probably figure it out lol :rolleyes:

Have you tried following this guide again and performing another T29 and then flashing your desired rom

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Having your phone stuck in smart mobility screen means your T29 was successful. All you need to do is flash your desired rom

Turn off device (or remove battery) then hold vol down while pressing power on. This should get you into bootloader.

hey plzzzzz help mee "((

i [erformed task 29 and then installed new rom

but my phone is stuck at the htc smart mobility screen plz plz help me
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
try and install that rom again. maybe you flashed the rom first, and then performed the task 29 by mistake. task 29 deletes the rom again so it must only be done before flashing.

being stuck at the smart mobility screen usually indicates that there is no operating system whatsoever installed on your device, so flashing the device again, (without task 29 or task 28) should do the trick.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aqeelaku:
dear i did task 29 with spl :(

and then after tht i installed the os

but it doesnt show the red digits tht come in the frst screen meaning tht my rom is formatted :(

Maybe because i'm on windows 7?? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] edge540T:
To win7 / vista i think is needed install old drivers

1 Enter in bootloader mode

2 Connect by usb to pc

3 Go to control panel, device manager, "PocketPC USB sync"

4 Select and donwgrade manually with old active sync drivers

5 Reestart pc booting pressing F8 and select "disable signature driver enforcement" or something like this...

Try to use task 29 other time..

I just tried the XP method on my other PC with XP, I get the same error.

Thank you very much for your help my friend, i really appriciated it!!:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] svesam:
we usually do a hard reset after flashing to ensure that all data fragments from a previous ROM are purged. but after using the task29 it became unnecessary .

After task29 no hard reset is required. just proceed with flashing as usual and when that is finished again no hard reset is needed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] m_damyanov:

I tried the USPL procedure and it worked without any problems. Then I flashed the latest Topix and it started as expected, no problems what so ever.

Thanks for the tool.

PS: So this does not touch the radio and spl sectors?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
base on my experience, it does not touch the spl sector as after running Task 29

HSPL Olinex is still there when entering bootloader

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] joao calisto:
my work so fine!!!! =)

try to put a radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466274) in task 29 folder...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
OK ! I prepared file to do that in Blackstone under WINDOWS 7 for those who can not !;)

1.Make a folder on computer and put there your favourite ROM.

2.Then unzip file attached here, it is folder with everything inside you need,put device into bootloader mode and connect to computer.

inside this folder drop your favourite RADIO and rename it to "RUU_signed.nbh" (wihout quotes).Thats it !

3. Perform task29.exe and wait a moment

4. Now you are stuck in smart mobility screen,but not to worry ! That is because you dont have any ROM inside anymore ! Device is fully clean !

5.Disconnect device from computer, take the baterry out and put device again into bootloader mode.Connect to computer again.

6.Now flash your ROM from the computer
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Even easier, when the device reboots after running Task29, hold the volume down key in and the phone boots straight into bootloader and then flash rom, so you can go from step 3 to step 6 directly ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
Clyde, that is a good move, cuts the process shorter and obviuosly faster, fueling peoples'

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ferraridave:
Thank's Jigners,

I used it on a Win7 x64 machine with no probs at all, didn't use any old drivers as someone else suggested, used the latest drivers from ms update, and used radio 1.17 for the required nbh file, then flashed the rom from storage card.

I was a serial flasher for a long time so there was probably a bit of junk in my rom area, cleaning it out this way has definately made a difference, it seems a bit more responsive generally, and I'm 100% certain it is booting better/faster.

Can someone be so kind and explain me the procedure STEP by Step Guide to do this under Windows 7 ?

Im using 1.56 Olinex on my Blackstone and im with Radio 1.17 so i want to try in my next flash this Task 29

Also i like to Flash my ROMs from the SD card so what i should do ? to put in my SD Card the nbh ROM i want befor to remove the SD card from the Device and begin Task 29? and later when is formated just to put back the SD card and to go Volume Down Power to Boot loader mode and the Bootloader will find that on my root of SD i have a ROM and will update like always?!

If someone explain step by step tut will be awesome..

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
ok, found it, by tin2404 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6052296&postcount=60

run it and you will get to the point that you are stuck with on the "smart mobility"

screen. as the partition in the drive of the device where the ROM resides has

been formatted
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
hm...yes indeed ! it has shorten process.

but I have try it yesterday, device was non-stop connected to computer during process, but suddenly on the boot proccess I experianced "driver not found and it is not installed" under Windows 7 and device was not recognized and it was get into power off mode by itself.I could not turn it on even I removed battery, but after few minutes I put battery again and everything was OK...hm..I am wondering what happens? Does anyone with Windows XP experianced such problem ?:rolleyes:

And I have noticed that flashing from SD card is much faster. Also first run device settings mode is faster too.

FLASHING FROM SD CARD

1. before task 29, copy your .nbh ROM into the root of your SD card

2. rename your .nbh ROM file with BLACIMG.nbh

3. Remove SD Card and make "task29" procces.

4.When task 29 has finished, REMOVE the battery, put SD Card into device and do flash as you usually did..

5.After ROM flash, first INSTALL SD TUNE UP CAB attached here..it speeds up SD Card !

I noticed that SD Tuneup cab speeds up ROM approach to SD Card..;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ferraridave:
I did it with win 7 exactly as described in tin2404's tutorial, except when doing the second flash, i.e. the rom you are going to actually use, I always do this via the SD card, and always have done, for the simple reason that if you have a powercut when flashing from your pc with no UPS, then it will instantly brick your phone, and this can't happen if you flash from the SD and there's plenty of charge in your battery, powercut or not.

Edit : As in tin2404's edited post above.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
Yes.I have UPS and power is O.K.

But I think,during restart proccess, device stands for a short period of time without connection with computer, and computer tries to find driver again...So, the task 29 indeed clears device all !

So I recommend "ClydeB1 shortcut" only for SD Card ROM flash,because it is slightly possibillity that you could make your device bricked.

So,when finished with task29, you have to fast disconnect device while holding down vol down button.And it is fine ! ;)

so, I added in my post flashing from SD Card with attached cab to speed up proccess. I have found that cab here and it works indeed !:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ferraridave:
I didn't and wouldn't use the above 'ClydeB1 shortcut', when the first flash is done and the phone restarts, I disconnect from the pc as soon as the power goes off on the phone, then let it start to boot so it gets to the smart mobility and stops, then pull the battery, replace the SD and battery, then enter bootloader from cold to flash new rom, the shortcut way sounds like an unnecessary risk to me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
you sure sdtuneup works:-o

as it are regsettings that get changed in youre windows dir

when you perfrom a task29 that is gone
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
The SD Tune must to be installed After you perform Task 29 and After you FLash your New ROM of course:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
yeah i know that but tin said you must perform it before you begin with task29;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] r_9:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
Yes, and I agree with you.No doubt that ClydeB1 shortcut is conveniant and elegant way to shorten proccess for minute or two.But I wonder is it worth of risking..hm..But we have admit to ClydeB1 for his inventive approach ! :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
Oh my mistake ! Sorry ! :eek::eek:

SD Tune up cab should be installed AFTER performing task29..

My blackstone dead after run Task 29

Hey guys please help.. after i flashed my blackstone then the next step where it said it could take up to 10 minutes then i waited for 10 minutes but nothing happens.. so my screen still say "Smart Mobility" and it doesnt recognize the USB anymore .. Please Any one.. any help would be highly appreciated.. thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
once you get to the "smart mobility" screen, reboot by removing your battery/unplugging

from usb. then enter bootloader (if you use usb connect method) connect to usb then flash

the custom ROM of your choice.

i suggest you watch the whole of the video guide
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lelo4ever:
This works flawlessly....

I'm using USPL and works like a charm...

Just change the Leo RUU_signed.nbh file to a blackstone radio one (I'm using radio 1.17.25.09).

Then enter bootloader (in my case the stock one)... inject USPL... and start the customRUU with task29...

The phone will flash the radio and everything is set...

Just reboot... repeat the USPL process (injection) and flash the ROM of your choice... neat... fast... easy... cool...

just hope this kills the old "stock rom flash first" thing... lolz...
