FYI,

task29 is basically an "empty" ROM. It erases EVERYTHING and only leaves a boot screen. so just seeing a boot-screen is good, it means it worked. Just do as eric said above.

When you run the RUU through active-sync to flash a ROM, all the RUU does is put your phone into bootloader mode then flash it, what you do when you hold vol down on reset is manually putting it into bootloader mode. The RUU will recognize and flash it just as if you did it thru active sync.

You can also just flash a ROM thru SD card if you want. If you want to do that and don't know how let us know and we'll steer you in the right direction
