[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
What does Task 29 (hex edited) do = It formats the partition drive of your device where the ROM resides.

Why use this = it is observed and several ROM cooks even advice to do this prior to flashing in the HD2 thread that it gives

a thorough cleaning of the partition, removing any leftover junks thereby giving a fresh partition for the ROM to operate

to give you an idea of what Task 29 is look at this video

DONT USE AN SPL .nbh file

Task 29 from Leo thread:

Positively confirmed TO WORK for the Blackstone

using HSPL Olinex - now confirmed to work with USPL http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6024181&postcount=30

Using Windows Vista 32bit

Video Guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE2oFcNmn7I

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 from the second folder, flash your custom ROM

Using Windows XP

1. make a folder and put together task 29 and the .nbh file of Dutty

3.9xt (could be any ROM nbh or any Radio nbh or a splash screen nbh)

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

3. when it finished (a long time) it booted but without the red numbers and

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

has been formatted

4. make another folder with two files (ex., DUtty 3.9XT .nbh file and the RUU)

5. enter bootloader, connect via usb then run RUU (HSPL Olinex already installed previously) your chosen custom ROM will now be flashed[/B][/SIZE]

for anyone experiencing "invalid device ID", use an official .nbh ROM file

(extract the .nbh file from an official stock ROM) and use this together

in the same folder with Task 29 .exe file (process will take longer. . .)
