1. Connect to PC via Active Sync/WMDC.
2. Execute Task 29.
3. When phone boots to "Touch Pro 2" screen (or whatever your splash screen happens to be), I hold down the volume down button while hitting the reset button.
4. Once I'm on the Bootloader screen, and it shows "USB", I flash the new ROM from the PC as I normally would.
5. When the phone vibrates, indicating the ROM upgrade is complete, I disconnect the phone from the computer.

As every one understand this command format the rom,

Just unzip and run task29.exe . You may replace ruu_signed.nbh with the radio of your choice.

After the phone reset itself, your old rom will be gone, so it won't boot: binfs has been formated, your phone memory is clean.
You'll need to power up in bootloader mode (press vol down right after power key), then use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure.

May I ask what this is used for?

off course
when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY

read this post to know what made me such a firm fan of mtty.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=6085

but the thing is, mtty is and can be hard to use for new users. ... for me,, i was having the worst time installin the drivers needed to run mtty on win7 x64. so u i made this tool for me and for all

Nice tool.
Is it possible to run this tool from mSD card, since my phone cannot connect to PC via USB?

bookmarked thanks Badwolve1

Thanks for simplifying this process agent_47. One question, can we do a backup using spb, then use the tool, reflash a rom and restore the backup? Or does the backup cause those possibly bad or corrupt files to be copied back to the device? Just wondering if I can save some time of setting the rom back up

How to flash new stock HTC ROM after Task 29?

Hey, just wondering how I would flash the new stock HTC rom after task 29, as it is just an exe file with no custom RUU?

Thanks!

Thanks!

The EXE is probably just an archive. Open it with your favorite archiving app (7-zip, etc) and you will see the NBH

So I would assume you shouldn't have to hard reset after flashing a rom if you first perform this internal format, correct?
