Hello napsterdj

I’ve been using this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=603741&highlight=balaji with no issues, my apps are tomtom navigator 7.918, acr 1.2.3, s2u2, slide to shut down 1.1, and mss converter. I agree with the other posts here it appears to be the apps you are using, maybe try what im using to see what happens and the rom you are using without any apps installed. Jez

P.S the radio 1.17 for me is great appears to work better with my parrot pmk5800 and better with tomtom navigator
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
Radio is dependent on many variables, network, country, etc. many people will find a particular Radio excellent while otherz

have negative experience. trial and error is a good thing to find which Radio works best to ones liking.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
OK almost a week since ive flashed it the last time and I think its running beautifully now.

I think it was the issue with the radio and nothing else. Flashing back to the oldest radio 1.09 was a mistake :)

I might revert to 1.13 because that was the best for me. But I will continue to use 1.17 for a lil longer and then decide.

Thanks for all the help :)

OK , Did the task 29 and I flashed TOPIX 3.5 WM 6.1 ROM and hard reset thrice !

I'm downgrading the radio from 1.17 to 1.13 .

Do I have to upgrade the rilphone cab too ? What exactly does this do ?

thank you for advenced.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jez.stix:
Hello gepc

Place you desired rom/radio and task29 in the same folder. Enter bootloader run task29. Remove and replace battery and enter bootloader. Then install your desired rom hope the pic’s help. Jez

P.S to enter bootloader press and hold down the volume button, press and hold down the power button, keep them pressed down until bootloader is entered

you don't flash a ROM "using" Task 29 for the HD:p

you need either HSPL or USPL to flash a ROM

and the method is easily found in this forum.:)

Task 29 is a program that once made to run on the HD

will format the partition where the ROM resides

that gives it (the ROM) a clean house to live and operate.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gepc:
Hi colleagues,

Thank you for you answer.

The Task 29 can be used en Touch HD?

Is a method for flash rom in touch HD?

glad to know to worked it out. and thanks for sharing us your experience.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tamnteh:
First, you download Task29 and extract to a folder.

Second, you download cooked ROM for your Touch HD. Usually the file come in "zip" and they will contain 2 file ([1]. BlackStoneCustomRUU [2]. ruu_signed.nbh). sometimes "ruu_signed.nbh" files renamed as "blacimg.nbh". if you got "blacimg.nbh", you rename it as "ruu_signed.nbh". just copy "ruu_signed.nbh" and paste into Task29 folder. it will replace the existing ruu_signed.nbh in Task29 folder. then, follow the instruction in this thread.

goodluck
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MJRL:
If you press volume down just a second before task 29 its donne, you dont have to take battery out, the phone will be in bootloader to install uspl or rom.

if someone pls help me, somehow it seams that i missed or misunderstood some important information here. following the process above i get a new radio (i copied 1.17 into the task29 folder) with step 3 instead of a formatted phone ... the process is very quick, doesn't look like a format process.

thx a lot
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
Instruction no 3 refers to when i use Dutty 3.9 ROM .nbh file. as its a big .nbh file,

it took a while for Task 29 to run.

Using a Radio .nbh file is quicker (? a quarter) of the time compared to if one

uses a ROM .nbh file.

So, dont worry, you have done the process right!

Has make a task29 on my Hd. Thanks for the info.

A question is that why do I need to removed the sim card and sd card

when I flash using uspl?

Is that OK to flash a ROM just using the task29? Will something be missing like radio?

Sorry if this is a noob question.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
lets make it clear for a start:

Task 29 CANNOT FLASH A ROM.

in order to flash a custom ROM you need HSPL or USPL

quoted from doloop's Task 29 Thread from HD2:

I hex-edited RomUpdateUtility.exe so it runs task 29 right after flashing
ruu_signed.nbhTask 29 formats your phone memory (=binfs).
It prevents weird error appearance when you flash new Roms.
But you stile need something to flash, it may be a radio, a splashscreen nbh
or a blank nbh file (shadrack repack provide a tiny blank nbh).

Most ROMs come with a Radio, so you should be fine on that.

the REQUIREMENT for Task 29 to run is it needs any .nbh file,

may it be a Radio, ROM or a splashscreen .nbh file. (only one .nbh file

in same folder with Task 29)

Some people recommend removing both sim and sd card, its more of

a precautionary measure, I've never taken mine out every time I run Task 29

and I still yet have to encounter somebody who encountered a problem

with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] henrik.dk:
thanks for the answer. If it can flash the radio nbh file, if I put a rom file, specifically kwbr touch rom, instead of radio nbh file, will that then be flashed into rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
nope task 29 will delete youre rom drive so no file will be in there

radio is stored at a different part so that isnt cleaned by the task 29
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] henrik.dk:
thanks. understood now.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mattie1:
hey guys I have a huge problem! :(

I did the following steps:

1. made a folder and put together task 29 and the .nbh file of RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154

2. connect phone (using XP) then run task 29 exe file

3. when it finished and I was going to flash the new ROM I noticed that the task29 had changed my SPL to the stock since I have SPL-1.54.0000 now.. How could this happen??

I didn't think the first task29 flash would actually write the spl to my phone but it did. Now when I try to flash back to olinex.. or ANY other ROM it only stays at 0% ... and yes, I removed the battery between the attempts.. What do I do now? :(((
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
it has never been mentioned that a stock spl be paired with task 29.

anyhow, installing olinex should not be a problem either.

you can also try running Task 29 again this time with a stock ROM then try to

install HSPL Olinex.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mattie1:
It's okay now, I managed to revert back to Olinex through USPL :)

However, as I understood the "steps" it didn't do any difference wich nbh you pair with task 29 as long as the nbh-file is a valid one. So I just took the first one I had...

But now we know that if you use a stock spl there can be trouble, on the other hand we also know the solution!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mattie1:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fwt:
You can't do this with TASK29

AFAIK you'll need MTTY.

But don't ask me how to do it ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
no, as stated Task 29 only formats the partition where the ROM resides.

my best bet is, history of call times gets hard coded within the device itself.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fwt:
That's what I ment.

Not possible with Task29.

Clearing / Formating the Call times have been discussed sooo many time here on XDA-DEV.

thanks for all your help
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] emfung:
I have a problem with my Energy ROM, which I thought was due to my improper editing of some registry line. So I reflash it with another version of Energy ROM. The problem was not resolved, so I thought that probably some junk data (which carry the problem) was not cleaned. Hence I did it again with Task29 preceeded the reflash. The problem, however, persists.

I'm just wondering whether is it a must to put the "favourite" ROM in the same folder of Task29?

I actually did Task29 with ruu_signed.nbh of radio 1.17 in the same folder.

I then flash my "favourite" ROM using SD Card..

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Instructions are pretty straight forward on first post. It also depends on whether you are using Windows 7 or XP

From reading your post I'm assuming you are using XP

Just create a new folder and put together task 29 and the your rom file .nbh in it. Then connect phone (using XP) then run task 29 exe file. Will take a long time to finish. When it has (a long time), it will boot but without the red numbers and

words on the lower right hand side - this is a confirmation that the device

has been formatted. Then you just make another folder with your chosen rom file (.nbh ) and the RUU. Go into bootloader, connect via usb then run RUU and your chosen custom ROM will now be flashed

Job done ;)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pankajvg:
Hi hobiwouane ,

after using Task 29 the mobile screen will always be on water mark only .

you should switch off and then hold the vol key to load the phone in bootloader mode.

After this you can flash the phone.

Note that Task29 is used to format your phone fully, hence it will come up till the splask screen and stop as it dosent has anything left to load further.

Hope this helps everyone who uses Task 29
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
the process should be in this order

1. task 29 (in a folder, the task 29.exe and any .nbh file , "only these two")

let me start from the beginning.

My phone: HTC touch HD.

manila version 2.5.20....

I want to preform Task29.

So I need the .nbh file, but which one do i need?

Do I need the .nbh file from the kwbr Topix 3.6 ROM or do I need the .nbh file from the new ROM I want to instal (Kwbr com 3 version 5.5, Sense 2.5.20....)?

(I'll preform Task29 from a pc with windows XP).

Thanks anyway.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pankajvg:
You can take any NBH file, i recommend using a Radio file, as this this reduce the tame taken to format your phone .

Big the size of NBH more the time .
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] leek1001:
The .nbh I could find is: 'file RUU_Signed.nbh'

How can I see if this is the radio file?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pankajvg:
I think your arent much aware about Radio and rom file.

so ideally take any nbh file and then excute the task 29.

This is how it worked for me, Windows 7 x64, USPL method:

1. Restart PC and press F8. When the manu comes up, select Windows 7 and press F8 again. Select Override Drive Digital Signature (or sth like that).

2. Enter Windows

3. Power off phone. Press Vol. down button and then power button, in order to start phone. Leave Vol. down button after you see the 4-colour screen.

4. Run USPL.exe and wait until phone reboots and enters USPL mode

5. Put your preffered radio (suitable for Blackstone) in the Task29 folder and run Task29.exe

6. Phone will reboot and stuck in the white screen with HTC logo. Take off battery.

7. Press Vol. down button and then power button.

8. After you enter the 4-colour screen, update your ROM according to the guidelines (e.g. run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in a folder with the preffered ROM file - .nbh).

9. When phone reboots, press vol up AND down at the same time. When you see the text, press Vol. Up in order to perform hard reset. If you miss it and the phone start booting, just remove the battery, put it back, press Vol. Up and Down at the same time and then press vol. Up in order to perform hard reset.

10. Let the phone reboot.

You are ready!
