you don't NEED to flash a radio... unless you WANT to... but it is not necessary...

oh lol, I thought it would clear everything in the phone. Must have read over it
no, it only clears the ROM memory, it leaves in tact the radio and splash... but to use the file you have to flash EITHER (not both necessarily) a splash or radio... I suggest splash/bootscreen as it goes quicker, using that way. =) enjoy!
been using it but flash times haven't gotten any faster. no need for hard reset so thats good. has anyone else experienced no decrease in flash time? it seems like it isn't clearing the ROM partition to me but it hangs at the splash screen as it should afterwards.
o well, at least theres nothing wrong with it.

Just to confirm, I should still be able to Flash via USB even if the phone ROM is empty and thus activesync isn't able to run?

yes, if you don't flash via mSD, you can still flash by usb... put phone in bootloader mode, hook up to usb then run the RomUpdateUtility that came with your ROM.
Ok, Hope there is a fix... Ran task29 Sprint v.1.12.34f, and now all I can get is the "Touch Pro" white letter splash screen, no radio info or anything, it just freezes there. Can't get past that, tried the vol down, power to try to get into the bootloader screen, no luck. I have held down just about every combination of buttons there is??? Did i brick it?

no, you didn't brick it...
bootloader = vol down + reset (stylus), keep holding vol down till you get to the bootloader screen...
You probably oughta know how to get your phone into bootloader before you run task 29; didn't you do that after flashing hard spl just to see if the flash worked?

Or....
you can use RAPHDIAG.NBH and use erase fat memory from there.
this accomlishes the same thing as task29? I was thinking it would erase the sd card... lol... shows how much I know... haha
I've tried the 'format nand' command with raphdiag, and all it did was hard reset the device. It didn't wipe the OS rom, like T29 does. I tried it 2 or 3 times, and had the same result each time. I may have been doing something wrong, I guess.
thank you @ benjamminzIS
I tried this trick (using bootscreen file for Raphael) on my Touch Pro & able to flash new Rom on it via USB.
Thanks for your great contribution.

Can anyone confirm that there is no hard reset required after flashing a new rom (just after using task29) or is it advisable to still do a hard reset after flash completes?
Bejnammin, do you have any clue if it works on Diamond2?
At least I will use it on my Fuze. Thanks a lot for that!
Best regards.
I've never heard spoken about this tool before... but you say all that it's a awesome tool, so, I must try it.
So, if I've understood well, it works like a Low Level Format for a HDD ? But in case of the Raphael, the memory doesn't need to be formated to improve the performances. Format an USB drive does improve its performances ?

I don't bother hard resetting anymore =) zero issues so far =)
I don't know about the diamond2, if it is basically a rhodium without a keyboard than I would think it would work, you just need to use a diamond2 splash screen or radio to try...Bejnammin, do you have any clue if it works on Diamond2?

not so much like a low level format, but rather than just overwriting files over and over and over and over with flashing new roms and doing flash dance, it deletes everything before you flash so that you have a "fresher" start...I've never heard spoken about this tool before... but you say all that it's a awesome tool, so, I must try it.
