So I use the Kumar roms and I was wondering, if I flash from version 1.5 to 1.6 of the same rom is it still necessary for me to do a hard reset? Or is it any time you update the rom, you must do a hard reset? What happens if you don't do a hard reset?
Thanks!
You don't have to do a hard reset but it always ensures that are no old sys files left that may have been updated in the version. It will help prevent any bugs or glitches from occuring but hard resets are not required with a new flash.
Or just run task29 first and u wouldnt have to hardreset...
lol, doesn't Task29 delete EVERYTHING? I mean, technically you're right, I wouldn't need to hard reset if I do a Task29.
Basically, I don't want to have to re-setup my phone every time I want to load the latest ROM.
Since it's the same ROM just updated it should be fine right.... right?

Well every time you flash a new ROM even if its just a newer build of what you already have it still wipes you phone and is basically the same as a hard reset. The reason why it is recommended run task 29 is because there are files that a hard reset DOES NOT remove that you dont want to have interfering with the new build. So I guess Im confused why are you worried about a hard reset if you just flashed and theres nothing on your phone to reconfigure anyway. But look into a UC program that will install everything that you want as the phone sets up for the first time so you dont have to do. Makes it much easier.

You have to reset everything if you want to flash a ROM. There is no getting away from it.
I need to learn to use UC better or even Sashimi.
I HATE having to set everything back up after a new rom flash.
But yes, I would agree you should be running Task 29 before each flash...although I was puckered up the entire first time I tried it.
Maybe I'm a strange guy but I never do a hardreset after flash and I never experienced a problem for not doing that.
I just don't believe in it and I jump from build to build to base to base while I'm cooking.
Does HTC or T-Mob recommends you to do that after a flash?

I don't either. hard reset after flash doesn't do anything different, I don't know why people say it matters.

The reasoning is that when you flash, and allow the rom to instal, it doesn't do a task 29, so you flash, and then do a hard reset which forces a task 29, followed by the rom setting itself up for first use.
( Personally i sometimes do, sometimes dont. In my experience I seem as likely to get a good rom without doing it as getting a bad rom after doing it. Seems pretty hit and miss)
A flash is actualy doing the same as Task29, but when you use only Task29 it wipes out the phone internal memory and you have nothing.
During flash the rom gets formatted and the new data will be written.

so task29 is not really something necessary, if you flash and hard reset right after?
Sorry for the newb question, but coming from excalibur to kaiser to raphael and now hd2, it's the first time I heard of task29, so just wanted to check if it's a big deal or not!
Yeah, I've heard mixed talk about Task29. I actually would really like to know what it is exactly. Why is it called Task29? Is it the same for all phones? I know you have to run a program from your computer to do it (Well, atleast that's what I think) I've never been brave enough to search for it and really understand it. Just saying "Task29" is kinda scary sounding!
Task 29 is a commando you give with MTTY to wipe out your phones internal memory.
MTTY has many commands and some can realy kill your phone as it can touch the bootloader if you give the wrong commands.
A device without a bootloader is dead.
Maybe other people think different about this but I recommend to use it only incase of a emergengy, to fix a corrupted flash.

THANK YOU!!! First time I started flashing (Kaiser) i did as advised. Ie. hard reset... then I quit doing this IMO absolutely unnecessary step and never noticed any difference.
The device memory will hard-reset and format everytime I flash it anyway.
Why should be two formats better than one?
Once you format hard drive, it's formatted. No need to format it again.
When people say "some files don't get formated" I'd like to see a proof. What files? What program did you use to view these files? If there is no such, HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW then????

Hi there,
Normally when I flash my rom and the device reboots automatically, I remove the battery when I see "Smart Mobility", place the battery back and do the hard reset.
I was wondering, is this the right way to do it? It sounds like you could mess up the phone by doing that.
never heard that... But I always do it the secure way: let the phone finish booting and then shutdown + hard-reset... costs you 2 minutes
regards
Personally I remove battery at smart mobility screen and hard reset before phone goes to automatic setup. I've flashed hundreds of roms with no issue doing this....plus it saves me a couple mins each time
Why Hardreset?
why is it necessary to make a hard reset ? When i flash my new ROM the HTC does make a hardreset itsself - or am i wrong with it ?

Flashing a ROM, cleans only some of the files on the device, if I am not mistaking. If you do a hard reset, then you delete the extra "bagage", that the previous ROM left.
Cheers.
another silly question ...
Yes I need an answer dear Moderators and other senior members who have deeeeeep knowledge on this flashing pain...
Do i need to flash also radio ? or just flashing a rom will be enough ? I want to flash a ROM but I do not know if I need to flash radio same time ????
Please enlighten me about this issue.
Thanks in advance for your precious time.

Radios and roms have nothing to do with each other, you could use 100 diffrent roms with your stock radio and there will be no problem, on the other hand diffrent radios mite give you better power management or reception
Personaly i`ve flashed 50+ roms and never hard reset anytime.
I`ve never had any issues and only suffer the same bugs that everybody else in the threads are suffering...
Hi all,don't know if i'm in the good section but i've been searching for a week now and couldn't find any answer matching my problem.
i bought a hd2 2 weeks ago but the phone is always bugging...i mean it constantly freeze. i cannot use it more than 20min, no matter witch rom i use. I'm starting to think it's a win mobile problem(as usual) but since i can't find any similar thread i 'm kind of disapointed.....
Can someone help me?
thanks a lot
I'm suffering from the same thing...
I've tried Custom ROMs with WM6.5, WM6.5.X and Stock ROMs, but every now and then the phone just freezes.
First I thougt it was MaxManilla, then Cookie's Home Tab, but unistalled both and it keeps freezing.
Sometimes I have nothing open and it hangs.
I also had this problem with my Kaiser, wich was minored with the launch of a new HardSPL recently.
Anyway, don't know exactly if it is HTC Sense or the WM itself, but I would love to discover the reason and a solution for those random freezes.
ok, glad to see i'm not the only one.2 days ago i tried to disabled sense and it stopped freezing.i tried spb and it worked great with it.but the fact is that i definitely prefer sense...if you're saying it's not a new problem, i gess a SAV won't change anything?
i think it's a bad flash or junk left in the device. never had any freezes/hangs with the following flashing procedure:
1. mtty task 29
2. flash preferred radio
3. flash preffered rom
4. hard reset just after flashing ends
5. soft reset when in manila screen
this is with hspl 1.42 installed.
btw this thread should b moved in the general forum.

Is the MTTY Task 29 really necessary?
I've been flashing for years now and heard of flashing Stock ROMs before Custom one, hard reset after flash, hard reset BEFORE flash, but never heard this was indeed necessary...
And I don't think it's only bad flash since it happens with a wide number of ROMs in my case, including Stock ones.
I think it's something related to HTC Sense...

I have seen many people brick theirs Kaiser's with MTTY and related tasks.
I've also read the Task 29 sticky and didn't undestand it very well... After doing this task 29 thing, the device will have completely blank ROM memory?
Isn't the flash Stock > hard reset > flash Custom > hard reset enought to erase everything?
If it's not, I must say, the remaning bits are pretty persistant bits of memory to survive all this, hehehe.

if you had freezes out of the box, then it might be a defective hardware. you should send it to htc for a service.
ok thanks.i was hopping i didn't have to do this but i think i have no choice...
how many times does it take for a sav
SD card?
I used the stock 2gb card that came with the unit for a couple of weeks with constant freezes needing resets even on custom roms. Then I stuck my class 6 8GB from my Hero in the HD2 and it now runs without a hitch 95% of the time. Check the SD card, it could be the problem.

generally flashing a stock rom performs a task 28 moreorless the same as a hard reset. whereas task 29 formats and completely removes all junk from the rom memory.

Hi,
I've had similar problems with a brand new HD2. out of box, original latest HTC dutch ROM and not a lot of crap installed.
Sometimes just freezes after start up, sometimes after a call, sometimes without touching anything.
I friend of mine who has the same devices also thought in direction of malfunctioning hardware (maybe bad internal memory chip) and advised me to return it to the T-Mobile shop for service.
Fortunately I still have a working TPII on the side ;-)
BTW, it also works very slowly and stops about 3 times when syncing about 7GB of music from WMP to storage card. At a certain point it just stops, if you manually stop the sync and then start it again, WMP omes with message that device is working slow or gives no response. diconnecting cable and connecting again resolves this and sync continues.
Had to do this about 3 times though.
Sprite backup manager won't complete either. Also gives failure.

I know it's a pain, but have you tried a hard reset since this started? If not, give that a go. If you're still having problems then I'd recommend not using the ROM that you currently have.

You can flash from the memory card without the need to start the device up and connect to a PC. That's what he's suggesting. I don't know how to do this myself, having only done it via ActiveSync, so I can't tell you how to do it. I do know that you put a ROM image in the root of your storage card and reboot the device, but there's more to it than that. Have a look in the ROM forum for more advice (unless someone can help you here, of course).

you dont have to have a booted phone to flash roms over usb. Just boot to bootloader and wait for the 'serial' to change to 'usb' then run your flash.

When I flashed Jackos Oldschool ROM(WM6.1_21048_M2.1) last week I used the Task29 tool to format the device, Jackos Oldschool ROM ran fine.
Then yesterday I flashed WM6.5_21903_M2.5 by Ark666 [Rhodium_AF],there was problem, the ok button on the up-right corner of the screen is not working,when you click it,the notifications window comes up,it's like you click on the midddle of the top screen. what's wrong? And it freezes whenever you click on Contacts(People) and HTC Calendar.Cannot use this rom.
Then I flashed WM6.5_21901 Valkyrie FireStorm tr2.5 by agent_47[v6.5],Settings are not working,for example,you click on today setting,it doesn’t response.
These two roms are recent releases,I don’t see anybody post complaint about similar problem,therefore I suspect Task29 is the CAUSE because I formatted device before flashing these two roms.
I even tried flashing a official stock rom,then flashed WM6.5_21901 Valkyrie FireStorm tr2.5 again,the problem still exists.
Do you think Task29 might have damaged my device memory? I have not seen anyone gave a warning about Task29’s potential harm.
I just flashed old rom WM6.5_21889_M2.5 by dotcompt [DeepShining v12 RC] which I used before, thank god,have not seen problem.
I am worried my device memory has been damaged,gurus and everyone, pls have an assessment on my situation, I don’t hope it’s Task29 that bring this.
Thanks
Before flashed WM6.5, have u done task29 again? Every changing ROM u should do task29. Mine is just fine.
Personally I never had any issues with Task29. The forum is full of people who have used it with success. Try flashing Task29 again and then flash a Stock ROM to see if that will get you back on track. Good luck.
Sergio76 took Task29 apart and determined that it can cause NO DAMAGE to your phone. All the application does is write a 'dummy' ROM to memory setting all memory addresses to 0 (zero). It is not a true format as it doesn't set memory maps or similar, it just sets everything to Zero.
Russ
TASK 29 Does NOT harm the device its jusk like flashing a black. some of the issues you descrived could of been due to a bad download/ downloads maybe on the task29 or ROMs or maybe something else.. but if you feel Task29 is no working for you just flash the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM

No No I didnt format twice.

Now i think my experience is clear to you.
Dunno it did for me...
I don't know if it is true that it will do harm or if my issue is repeatable...
I have been flashing ROMs for years on my Titan and Rhodium and never had any reason to do something like Task29...
One of my regular ROMs is MightyROM. I do not understand the reasoning but in January Mike recommended flashing back to stock then to his newest ROM. So I did it because he said to. Mine is not to question Chef.
So again flashing through ROMs and last month Mike said to run Task29 and completely empty the ROM before installing his new one. So I did...
All I could get was the black screen that says "TouchPro 2" in white.
I tried everything. Posted in forums. Research. Finally I called Verizon Support. Nothing could get me into the bootloader... So fortunately Verizon sent me out a "like new" handset.
Since getting the new handset I have flashed MightyROM, Energy, BharS, Mr.X, and others looking for the best ROM for me for this time. I have had no issues ever in flashing ROMs on multiple devices that I don't know why Task29 would ever be necessary.
nokiadashi, i would assume since your using recent roms that your falling in to the trap of early adopters, buggy roms.
MHatter469, thats what its supposed to do, you use the cdma version for verizon. after you task29 connect your phone to your computer hold the volume down button while pressing the reset button at the same time. after you press the reset button keep holding the volume down until a red,blue green, white screen shows up. thats the boot loader. From there flash your rom like you always have
ive used task29 once to flash a rom to my device and thats when i flashed it from the stock rom
after that i have never used it before flashing. Am i taking a risk by not doing it?
i usually flash straight from my device because i download the rom through my phone and extract and flash making use of my computer unecessary instead of fighting with windows7

If your HD2 is already unlocked it will not be relocked by flashing any ROM to it. I sugest you do a back up of all your personal information like pictures, videos, documents, contacts, etc. Then do a hard reset of your HD2. Turn your HD2 off and then hold both the volume up and down button down and the power button down until you see the multicolor zcreen come up and follow the on screen instructions.
As far as changing the OS on your HD2 you need to download and flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2. Then donwnload and flash MAGLDR to your HD2. Then download the NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM of your choice and follow the ROM developer's instructions to use MAGLDR to flash the ROM.
I never heard of an HD2 virus. How do you know you have one?

There are WM viruses out there, quite rare though....
I dont think this is a virus, just a software issue. Would probaly be fixed with a hard reset.

Any virus issue could be fixed with a hard reset, since that clears the entire phone and reads the install files from ROM.

Unless it goes to the SD card....
The point I was trying to make is that the op just needs to hard reset. Not sure how they came to the conclusion they had a virus.
