[TOOL] Task 29 (format internal Memory) without drivers, witout mtty

[Srt4inSC]

My question.... If Task 29 wipes the device completly clean then wouldn't keeping the radio(per post 9) leave a possibility for other files to stay behind also?

The radio is not stored where the rest of the rom is, that is why the custom roms do not need to flash a radio...
Nothing but the radio is kept there. Same with the bootscreen...

Has anybody had any problem's with active sync after doing task 29? I lost all of my contact's and had to start a new partnership. Wouldn't recognize my device with/without storage or sim card.

no problems here. probably used it 5-10 times the last couple of days and it works as it is supposed to.

im not saying this doesnt work but have people noticed a huge increase. Is this something that you should do after flashing a lot or after each time?

Simply, this allows you to start from a fresh slate. a couple pages back I have a link to a faq that explains it in simple terms.

i'm doing it each time, takes less than a minute.

MODS, THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A STICKY!!!!

thnx for all the support.


@Srt4inSC: radio stays intact

secondly, you don need to have a blank nbh....you can have ANY nbh, if can be ur favorite rom.....every romutility.exe needs a nbh to run.....so thats the purpose of it.......
so
-if u have a full stock\custome ROM nbh, its big and takes longer to flash. but the result is the same
- if you keep a radio, it will flash faster as its smaller
- if you keep a blank nbh, it will be even faster as its blank!!! request one of the check to make a blank nbh. all they have to do is disable all EXT\SYS packages.....just keep the ROM stuff and the config.txt from OEM

Wait, if you use a rom nbh, the way it works is first it will flash the ROM and then it will try to do task 29. So it will be a waste of time, since task 29 wipes the NVRAM...where the ROM you just flashed is stored...

Unless there has been some success if making the RUU first call task 29 and then flash the ROM. Last time I checked they couldn't yet...
