I did it, I rewound again the 220 film from the 'cord IV, I loaded it
in the 2.8C again, I shot with the lens cap on the lens up to the
frame 12, working with my hands within a dark bag I open the camera
back, the frames counter returned to zero, I found with my fingers the
roller and put the same tape that comes with films to stick the film
start to the paper on the film in the camera, to the part beside the
roller but before to pass between the rollers, I closed the camera and
turned the crank, I perceived the typical resistence when the rollers
"feel" the film start and after a short advance the number 1 appeared
in the window, the 2.8C it's ready to shoot the frame 13.
I comment these experiences because I think they could be useful for
some Rollei users, B&W 220 film is no longer available after TMY 320
was discontinued some months ago, but it is available for color
negative and slide films.-

I was thinking about this issue, perhaps the solution is easy, I only
need to add a tape to the film when I open the camera back, the frame
12 is in the film gate, if I add a tape after the frame 12 and close
the back, the tape plus film will press the lower roller and the film
counter will be engaged again, perhaps I'll rewind the film in the
'cord to try this solution with the 2.8C again.

After the success using 220 film with the Rolleicord IV, I commented I
had uploaded the 2.8C with the Tri-X ISO 320, 220; I also commented
the automatic mechanism worked fine to advance the frames counter up
to the number 1. After to take the frame 12 and before to advance the
film, I open the camera back in the darkness and the frames counter
came back to zero, as you could expect. Problem was when I started to
advance the film again, the film advance mechanism worked as if the
film was already finished, the film advanced but it never engaged the
number 1, the automatic film feeler to advance to number 1 did not
work because there was film running through it evidently. I rewound
the film in an empty spool and put it in the 'cord IV, I shot with the
lens cap on the lenses up to the frame 12 (this first part has the
images taken with the 2.8C) and repeated the procedure, it worked fine
again with the 'cord IV because this camera does not have the lower
film feeler mechanism, the film advanced up to the number 1 and the
camera is ready to shoot the real frame number 13, I'll have Xenotar
and Xenar shots in the same roll.-
