Yes it formats the Rom partion leaving the disk as totally Raw (as new disk).

your color mismatch problem might be an issue with the screen, i would suggest you to check on this.

the best option would be installing a computer interface so that you can manage your phone via pc , there excatly you will come to know the screen problem.

There are softwares for computer interface like Soti controller , try that it may help you to find whether there is a screen problem or not .

Link -http://www.soti.net/PCPro/Default.aspx (trial version available , but iam using a differnet one , so its ur choice)

if the screen color differes in computer and mobile then its your mobilr touch screen issue else there is problem with your hardware.

check and let me know your findings.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sugar67:
Thanks! Great idea!

So on PC display there is everything OK. Does it mean that this is no SW problem but HW problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pankajvg:
yes , it means that you have an display (screen problem).

you will have to get it replaced .
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sugar67:
OK! It means flash back to original ROM and then warranty service.

Once more great thanks! great work!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheOne741:
You could try leaving it in bootmode and flashing it with any rom using the BlackstoneSoftwareUpgrade tool and an nbu rom of your own.

That works too.

try flashing a stock ROM via sdcard method

pull the RUU_signed.nbh file to the sdcard

rename this to BLACIMG.nbh

add BlackStoneCustomRUU to the sdcard

(only the two items above should be in your sdcard)

with phone off (make sure you got plenty of battery juice)

insert sdcard

enter bootloader

this process will bring your spl back to stock
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
if you can still enter bootloader

then please see above post (post 349):)

This TASK 29 will help phone to run smoother and without lag ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Not necessarily. A task29 does a thorough cleaning of the partition, removing any leftover junks thereby giving a fresh partition for the ROM to operate. Its recommended by some chefs to do one before each flash. It may improve performance, but then again it may not.

Generally I do not do one before each flash, but hen again I'm a constant flasher flashing anywhere up to 5 roms a week (thoughthis number has decreased dramatically lately). I would do a Task29 one a week at most to be honest

But you have to realize that some roms are just laggy and no matter how many hard resets or task29's will not make any difference

usb device not recognized

when i connect my HD2 it's not detected my the pc. So i can't use active sync to access phone. Help please.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
First off, this is for the HD and not the HD2

Secondly as I do not have a HD2 this may not be 100% accurate, but try opening activesync > activesync settings and enable "allow usb connections"

Alternatively try the HD2 forums ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orelm:
Just to let you know guys, I run task 29 in vista 64bit and got the no-red writings "smart mobility" stuck screen, after which I pulled out and back the battery and almost freaked out - the phone was absolutely dead. No nothing, I hitted the start button at least a hundred times.

So I pulled the battery out for like 15 min and tried to start it without power to drain all the capacitors out - and it worked :-) ... :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
So you are able to enter bootloader afterwards?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] azhhakh:
Hi,

After running task 29 its stopped on the smart mobility please help with the next step. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Read Step 5 and 6 in post#1. It should get stuck in smart mobility screen as your device has no rom on it due to it being task 29'ed
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dr.faramroze:
I updated my HD and HD2 with hundereds of roms hundreds of times but yesterday I thought of trying task29 with NRGY rom for blackstone and HD2. Both of them died after they stuck on bootloader for 30 minutes. Now they are completely dead and complete waste of money. I still have little hopes for HD2, but since my Blackstone's volume keys don't work, its really tough to get it working into bootloader. I appreciate xda-developers' hard work to bring new applications and tweaks for better mobility but then there should be an antidote for misfires.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As per my above post in actually states clearly in step 5 amd 6 that your phone will get stuck in the smart mobility screen and that you would have to remove battery and put phone into bootloader. This is why we ask all users to read the instructions completely BEFORE doing anything. You obviously knew you'd have trouble entering bootloader on the HD using your volume keys but still carried on so knew the risks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dr.faramroze:
Okay. Then please help restoring the device. I even don't know to work on JTAG-RIFF box. Supposing I get the volume key repaired. But the HD is not turning on, no charging indicator too. Completely dead. Please help !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, try removing the battery and leaving device without battery for about 15mins or so, then putting battery in again and turning on. If it turns on it will get stuck again on smart mobility screen as no rom on device. You need to try and enter bootloader to load new rom on device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] azhhakh:
Hi Fallen.

Thank you for your reply. let me tell you the step i have done.

I have formated 29 task after that it has stopped in smart mobility.

than i have pressed vol down + power button its show me the 4 colours screen

than i have connected my htc via usb than i have formated HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex its shows 100% complete but again im strucked in the smart mobility, please help me the next step are provide the url to install the file. XDA team pls help me
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, you have already formatted 29 task, so you put phone into bootloader, connect it to pc via usb and then run rom ruu file....I.e. flash rom. You don't put HSPL on device as its already on it.

All you need to do is flash rom the reason why you are stuck at smart mobility screen is because you have no rom on your device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] azhhakh:
[Thank u fallen.

Im new and i really dont have any idea wat to do could you pls give the link to download the flash,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You aren't actually downloading "flash". This is a term we use when installing a new rom, I.e. flashing a rom = installing a rom

If you have successfully Task 29'ed and device keeps getting stuck in smart mobility screen, all you need to do is download your desired rom file, put device into bootloader and flash (install) your downloaded rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] azhhakh:
HI fallen,

please post the link to download desired rom file. pls help

when i boot its stoped in the tri colour screen

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.15.0000

MicroP-Blackstone (LED)v6

Pls help me to get out from this problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Choose a rom from any of the rom threads in this forum. Plenty to choose from. Maybe try NRG's or somebody else.....but this is your choice. Once you've chosen which rom you want, download it and save it to a file on your pc. The tri-colour screen is called bootloader. Now connect pc to device using usb cable. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Now navigate to your downloaded rom file. Should be a .exe file called ruuwrapper or something similar. Double click on file and follow flashing instructions which appear on your pc screen.

showing error 240: File Open
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Right, you are trying to flash now, so post further flashing queries in this thread

oh and error 240

ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN

When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded image is placed in the directory of RUU. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again. Check that the contents of the folder is a CustomRUU.exe file and an .nbh file. If you put the os-new.nb file in by mistake instead of the .nbh, this is the error that shows up. Thanks ConfusedSTU.

Also this occurs due to permission problems. Try moving the RUU folder to the root Hard drive directory, and ensure you are an administrator. Running RUU from a briefcase rather than an ordinary folder gave me this error, but it was fine when I moved the RUU foler out of the briefcase(XP OS).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] azhhakh:

Thank you Fallen Spartan. Got the phones back from the service centre, they could'nt even diagnose the problem, fixed them up myself in 40 mins.

Hi Fallen.

Im still unable to do anything on my mobile, pls help me to get out of this problem. step by step i have done.

i really dont no about the technical stufs(.nbh etc)

1. my phone was in running stage than i have done task 29 after that my screen was strucked on smart mobility.

2 after getting your help i have started flashing (BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe), but its always strucked in 0% and later i get 262 error.

Please help me wat step i have to take to get my phone back:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, first off, .nbh files are the actually rom files. The BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe is an installer you use with it. i.e. you put both the wrapper.exe and the rom file .nbh into a file on your pc. Then connect pc to phone using usb cable. Put phone into bootloader (tri-colour screen) and double click on the wrapper.exe file on your pc. Then follow Pop up screens which should appear on pc.

As for error 262, this is an update error. This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

Responded in PM sent.

In future, please ask all questions in correct forum/thread

This thread is for Task 29 ONLY
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
video guide currently uploading in youtube and here is the updated step by step guide:

Task 29 (Hex edited by doloop of HD2 thread) working on the Blackstone

step1 - make sure you have HSPL Olinex in your device

step2 - create folder and place here the Task 29 .exe file and the Radio .nbh file

(the nbh file could be anything related to the Blackstone ie., splash screen)

step3 - create another folder and place here your chosen custom ROM.

step4 - enter bootloader, connect via usb, then from the first folder double click task 29 .exe follow prompts.

step5 - phone will reboot but will get stuck in "smart mobility" screen, it CANT pass beyond this

as the phone has NO ROM on it, the drive partition where the ROM resides has been formatted

by Task 29.

Step6 - remove battery to reset, enter bootloader, then flash your custom ROM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] edge540T:
thanks for sharing, i've got a doubt in steep 2, what is target of the nbh file with task29.exe? seems can be a fake file renamed as .nbh
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
i highly doubt if one can make a fake .nbh file, but the thing is the smaller the .nbh

file, like a Radio file or for something smaller than that is a splash screen .nbh file

Task 29 needs this so it can be flashed in the device. Task 29 will then format

the drive where the ROM resides.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmartinez50:
I did it yesterday prior to install the last Topix 3.5.7 rom but with another approach:

- Prepare a folder with task 29 and a blackstone .nbh file

- Copy to the storage card root the rom with the file name BLACIMG.NBH

- Extract the storage card from the phone

- Connect the phone to the computer via activesync

- Run talk29 and wait for the reset

- Disconnect the phone from the computer

- Extract the battery

- Put the storage card again

- Proceed with a normal ROM actualization

And I have everything works fine.

I don't know if this method of format the ROM really improved something but it sounds pretty coherent to do it to avoid future problems with the ROM.

Sorry for my English :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tacginc:
step1 - make sure you have HSPL Olinex in your device

What do you mean by have it in your device? When I do bootloader, do I need to put it in bootloader using HSPL Olinex? Or, do it need to be just have have it somewhere in the root directory of the device?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
when you enter bootloader your device should show HSPL olinex

so that means your device should have HSPL, this is used to flash

custom ROM to bypass HTC checks.

but in the original video guide with the HD2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtTDuc4V4cU

tbh this is the first time i used Olinex HSPL

when I was a flash junkie with the Blackstone

I limited my ability to USPL 2.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] svesam:
Thanx allot for this lovely tool...

Just one thing, after downloading the file you suggested i found an .nbh file included so i assumed it belongs to the LEO so i deleted it and placed the radio file like you said.

I used USPL 2.5 and every thing went fine ... and i flashed the ROM from the SD card (as always ;) )

0. take out SD card and SIM card

1. boot loader

2. USB to PC

3. USPL

4. Task 29 with radio file

5. restart ( take out USB then take out battery )

6. boot loader

7. USB to PC

8. *** now you set in the SD card with the ROM on it (formated to FAT32) ***

9. USPL

10. flash

11. start using :p

this tool clears allot of trouble caused by the unclean memory chip of the device. The hard reset part after flashing became totally useless :) .

I hate questions like this which is why I generally delete them as every user has different tastes. What I like, you may not. Best advice would be to try the most used roms (see thread with most posts ;)) and try a few to see what you like/dislike and make your own educated decision

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I shall give you an example then. We have roms here which use wm6.1 or wm6.5. We also have roms which use manila 2.1 - 2.3. Then we also have lite rom and heavy roms.

You would need to decide which of these you prefer. Some prefer wm6.1 as its faster whilst some prefer wm6.5 due to it being slightly more finger friendly and also latest build. Then we also have users who follow a particular chef so will always use their roms.

That's why its a matter of personal taste ;)
