OK, thanks... but your link is not working and it is not in the radio thread.

But Google still works :D

What would happen if I had flashed this rom and then decided to flash a different radio?

I can't find any information about 576 roms and tmous in the stickies. How would I have known about that before making a mistake? -Please don't think I and complaining, I would simply like a pointer to some comprehensive info on this, many of the front page threads are well past 100 pages, 2 are over 1000! That is a lot to be expected to read when there supposed guides in the sticky section :( :confused:

after running task29, do we have to reinstall the Hardspl or can we flash the rom we want straight away?

i'll redo the steps i've made last night, and i'll post a series of photo to document the steps made.

i did not re install hspl

i did not say this, tbh am not familiar with mtty, but my guess is Task 29 is less complicated than mtty

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
jigners, have you tried this using a splash screen.nbh file in place of the radio or rom file. That should speed up the process without having to install a rom only to remove it again with Task29 and then have to re-install the rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
yes, i read your post on the hd2 thread, so i decided to give it a go myself and posted my findings.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
that is a brilliant idea! that haz not came to my mind last night:o:o

will difenitely cut the procedure short:):):)

will try to do that when i get home, am posting here using my HD2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
dunno if it makes a difference but i did it with radio 1.13

as you said radio gave you a error

and it went threu it verry verry fast

less then a minute to finish it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Great, let me know how it goes.

I'm sure this will be a hit here if it works as it certainly cuts down on the time taken to reflash to stock and then cooked. I run the Task29 now before every flash and on the HD2, the whole process Task29 and rom flash takes only 5 minutes.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
but that aint fare

i played witj a friends hd2 yesterday as he whasent getting signal

and also did some hard resets and a reflash to stock(as he also has a newtonring:-o so he is going back)

and i noticed the hd2 is definitley 1000% faster in flashiong then hd1

A question:

If I use the ShaDrac RePack version (as for I understand), when I launch the exe (without any .NBH in the same folder) it only perform a format of the memory and the PPC restart in white screen (no more ROM in...).

At this point, can I simply restart the HD in bootloader mode and flash my favorite ROM via microSD ?

I definetly prefer this way to flash ROMs ;)

Thanks, Marco.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
DONT use Shadrac's as his version has an included very small .nbh file from HD2

I never really tried Doing Task 29 with a splash screen .nbh

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] devile:
Well seems like it got no use at all. In fact, after I flashed a stock rom and then my fav topix rom, my fav topix rom seems to have a bad flash. So personal experience seems to suggest that task 29 is even better than flashing a stock rom!

Imagine you wear your pants and poo yourself...but being lazy, you put the same pants again on the other day and the other day and so on and so on...

It gets so messy after some time that you feel like to revirginate :)

Same thing here..the more you use your device and flash it, the more junk is left behind...it is the same as with PC HDDs...it just gets messy after some time...

By performing Task29 you clean your device's system partition and then you do fresh flash...it is something like reinstalling windows on PC - well it is all Windows after all, isnt it? :) ..after that everything is running smooth and OK..

For me, this thingy did a lot...After I Task29ed I flashed kwbrs Topix 3.5 ROM with WinMo 6.1 and Manila 2.1 ...and voila - my device became the fastest ever...everything reacts on first tap... I am very happy with my blackstone now because it started to piss me off recently with data conenction drops, people not hearing me in calls and lot of other stuff...

But anyway, you should try it for yourself and see if it made a difference :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] millski:
Just want to report my experience of using Task29 for the first time:

I used tin2404's Windows 7 guide.

At point #3 my phone entered bootloader then the flash utility reported an unable to find device/no drivers error. I left my phone connected and in bootloader and returned to the thread to look for some help. Noticed a popup on my desktop saying device drivers installed so I just ran Task29 again (phone still in bootloader with no SDCard) and it flashed the radio I'd included just fine :)

After that I disconnected everything and used HSPL to flash my rom (millski R3.2) from SDCard - can't say I've really noticed any extra speed *but* the volume up key is broken on my phone so I can no longer hard reset; Task29 lets me clean out all the crap ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
I dont understand..

It is not possible to broke your volume key using my method. I did not have such problem, neither anyone reported it yet so far. volume key command could be broken phisicly or software related from invalid registry entry and settings of previous ROM. :eek:

Task29 only cleans,not modifies, device.And about fluidity and speed.

AND something for notice :

I have noticed after doing 27 flashes of various cooked (and shipped) ROMs so far, that the speed is more visible in vanilla or light ROM versions...but in "heavy" ROMs you can get more fluidity and stability in everyday use than speed.But,the best ROM remains Dusk-Evo v3.00 BASED on WM 24001 .Of course,it is just a matter of personal taste from person to person ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] millski:
No the volume key is *physically* broken on my phone, nothing to do with task29. However not having a volume key means I can't do hard resets so I need to use task29 to clean up :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tin2404:
oh ! I see now ! I was just scared at a first ! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
A hard reset is the same as doing 'clear storage'

Just go to Start > settings > system > clear storage
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevenfans:
task 29 is similar to flash back origin rom???

what is the different between format using task 29 and the flash back to original rom before upgrade any custom roms.

If i format task29 is better than i revert back to original rom from htc HD then upgrade to any custom rom

pls help me which matter is better?:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
if you spend some time reading through the posts, many people has reported

a better outcome running Task 29 rather than flashing a Stock ROM alone.

As you maybe aware Running Task 29 formats the ROM partition, whereas flashing a stock

ROM will just install that stock on top of your previous ROM.

I have the original ROM file that i downloaded from the HTC site. it is an .exe file. How can i extract the radio in .nbh format from that file?? I don't want to mess with my radio so i prefer the original one :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
what is your Radio version? it should be found in the Radio Thread, as far as im aware they are genuine Radio files extracted from stock ROMS (ship or test version).

or you can search for tools and procedures in extracting Radio .nbh files in ROMs.

or, you can just use the Stock ROM .nbh which contains the Radio of your choice. the process will be longer. its entirely up to you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gdem3685:
i basically have the 1.13.35.24 radia that came with the official rom. What is your suggestion? Should i upgrade to 1.17? Is it better??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
different radio version gives varying result, as their are so many factors to consider

, network signal, proximity to cell sites, etc., but if you find that this particular

version is best for you, then go for it.

WTF if the HD doesn't connect to PC.

Again my f***** HD isn't recognized by Win 7 64bit nor XPpro. This phone bores me so much :mad:²

Do you think it could be a matter of USBcable? I use a std USB cable, not the one from HTC which seems to be a little bit different.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] corwin_de_amber:
jeanfrederic ,

This is a known issue with Win7 64. Just reboot your PC, press F8 when reboot starts and choose something like "disable driver signatures ..."

It worked for me yesterday.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Got it !!!

It's a matter of cable. The one from HTC works on every PC. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hatkeeper:
huh, I use a playstation cable, std cable, watever cable and it works everytime. Still running on XP tho.

Back to topic, I ran task29 before installing xannytech evo 2.5, its been more than a week and everything is smooth, so I recommend it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
please if you could identify the steps you made in doing Task 29 with Win7 64bit so i could update the first post. Thanks in advance.:)

excellent team work guys, keep it up!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] corwin_de_amber:
1. Reboot PC and press F8 when reboot starts

2. Choose in boot menu ""Disable digital signature enforcement"

3. After reboot connect HD to PC via usb and wait for Sync Center to connect

4. Run task29.exe from here for example:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661782&highlight=task29

5. Perform all the steps of task29 (next>next>...)

6. When HD get stuck on HTC screen remove and insert the battery.

7. Flash your ROM as usual. If you want to flash from the card copy blacimg.nbh of ROM to the card before you start task29.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Forcavitale:
Here is a stupid question about task 29

When you perform a task 29, i do it with a windows 7 PC, it says that you should put a ROM or a Radio in the same map as the task 29 exe. My question is, do i have to put both a radio and a rom in the map toghether with the task29 exe, or is it a ROM or a radio. The reason for asking is that it goes a lot faster to perform a task 29 if you just put a radio in the map.

Thank you from Forca:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
i recommend a Radio .nbh file together in the same folder with Task 29:)

although a splash screen .nbh file is the quickest. its all up to you.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] corwin_de_amber:
Forcavitale,

Take task29 from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661782&highlight=task29

It already has stock splash .nbh This is the faster way.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] James62370:
As stated in previous posts, it's even faster with just a splash screen... Try the attached...

Extract and put in same folder as task29, you don't have to rename it either, but make sure you only have 1 .nbh file in the directory...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
About my HD and Task29, just by using the HTC cable made it possible.

I launched Task29 on Seven64bit without rebooting and ... I just ran task29 after having connected my HD, and everything ran properly.

About the cable, it is strange that with a std USB one Win7 nor XP instals drivers but they do if i use the HTC cable...

Okay Not to sound like a noob here but I got a few questions. First of all can I do Task 29 When my Volume Down is busted? It means I can't go into boot loader manually. Now if i want to flash Roms, i just launch the ruuwrapper.exe while the phone is on and it'll boot itself to boot loader. If it is possible , how do i flash a rom afterwards? Can I just run the ruuwrapper of one of the roms i downloaded and it will again boot itself into bootloader? I kinda want to ask before I go ahead with this.

i know this is not the proper section for my phone... but i am currently using a touch pro cdma... and when running task29 i get the 'invalid model id' message.

i've read the first page but still don't know what to do here. i've put a .nbh file in with the task29.exe still no worky.

i was told by TANKROM to try and flash my stock rom(bell) which i did. and no luck.

also went directly to bootleader then ran the exe... still nothing.

i've downloaded 3 different task29's and none work.

any help would be great... on a xp machine.

i assume you are aware of the consequences for this trial and error of which

Task 29 will work for your particular device. this thread is only for the Blackstone

the Task 29 used here is the same one in the HD2 thread, through trial and error

i found out that it works exactly on the HD as it was originally meant for

the HD2. I suggest, you look for a particular Hex edited Task 29 that will work

for the touch pro cdma.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
After reading all the posts and the video , I decided to give this a try.

I setup the task 29 as described in the instructions and I used a radio file 1.09.25.14.nbh to be flashed when doing the task 29.

I used USPL to do the process and it all went well.

After the task29, I tried a lot of ROM's . KWBR's 6.1 and 6.5 , BlackNew , Energy and a few others. The first few times I had issues with the ROM , as it would just hang or not respond at all. I never did a hard reset cuz somewhere in this thread it was mentioned that the hard reset is not required.

But, after trying other ROM's with Hard reset ,i'm still having issues with my HD freezing from time to time.

It just gets stuck and I have to yank the battery out. It would never happen before.

For ex: I was using Topix 3.5 WM 6.1 before and it would run like a charm .But after task 29, it freezes blatantly during many occassions. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if im missing something. Any help is appreciated.

I just wanted to try with the USPL method again and this time I did Task29 + 1.17.25.09 and then I installed Topix 3.5 WM 6.1 [ Hands down, the best ROM for blackstone period :eek: ] and its running beautifully so far.

I've usually experienced the freezing on the second day when i have explored the complete ROM or after installing all the apps.

So far its running smooth, except for the fact that I think the new radio is draining the battery out.

Lets see how this works out, and I will keep you posted.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Day 1 after installing the ROM

Everything was running smooth and beautiful. Apps installed :

1. Clean RAM

2. Facebook

3. Marketplace

4. Action Screen

5. Finger Keyboard

6. 4 Column Start menu

7. HD wobble

8. Windows 7 Animation boot up

I woke up this morning and wanted to delete some pics i took last night. It wouldnt let me open the picture. Then i tried to take a picture and boom ! it freezes.

I had to yank the battery out to get it start again.

Any thoughts ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
do you install all the following 8 apps/mods after each flash?

if so, try the process of elimination, it could be any or a combination of them

highest of my suspects is HDwobble:o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Well, Spot on ! Lol , just kidding.

But I need to figure out what app is causing the problem. Because all these apps with the same ROM would work just perfectly fine for months together with no lag/freeze etc. Its only after the Task 29 that i'm facing this. Lets see how it holds up this time.

I will continue to use and monitor for a week exploiting whole of this RAM to the maximum.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
tbh i don't think Task 29 has a thing to do with this, because it ONLY formats

the partition of the drive where the ROM resides, after a ROM has been flashed

to that drive. it all depends on the ROm behaves after installation of programs, mods etc.,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Im guessing its the Radio then .

I was using 1.13 before i did task 29.

For task 29 , I was trying to do it with 1.09.25.14

And then i tried task 29 with 1.17 and it was a lil better but I still have issues sometimes when i try to connect to wifi.

So , its probably the radio. I'll try switching back to 1.13 and see how it works out.
