When I try to Format FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed

I have a Qtek9090 with ROM 1.40, radio 1.13
When I try to format my ROM to 128M wit the DOC_Repart tool I got the message FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed, even I can see create and delete into the ExtendRom.
I have tried to install some ship ROM but it doesn't solve my issue.
A friend who get the same Qtek as me doesn't had any trouble when upgrading to WM5. I have sent my Qtek to be repaired a few month ago, could it be modified by Qtek ? Does somebody else get the same issue than me ?

upz
i got the same problem too !!!
stuck with the issue
and using 2005 with less mem

Hi,
got the same error. *duh*
The phone was also sent to qtek for reparation.

Got it working now.
I´ve made a hardreset to install the normal ext_rom.
After that i installed xda-developers_unlocker.cab from wm5_pack_v3 and then resco fileexplorer.
Cause of the german naming of programme (not programs) i couldn´t use the links in startmenu to execute the unlocker.
I used the execute-function in resco fileexplorer to execute the following commands:
\programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom -unlock -xda3 and
\programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom -unhide
Then: soft-reset.
After that i copied the Repart_doc.exe from wm5_pack_v3.
This time it worked without any errors.

this is veri interesting news, i will try again in a min
ehheheh
the using resco to run is one different thing i did not do

so sad, give me hope
hehehe
i just tried this n it did not work also

thats it!! Im trying to format the extrom of my T-Mobile MDAIII for days now, but this is the solution! u need the tool mentioned here, the extendedromunlocker in EXACTLY this version with the "-xda3" switch ! Any other version of the tool will not work. Dont ask me why, but ive tried them all and ONLY THIS works! a huge thanks triplehelix.
i will attach the .cab for anyone who wasted hours to solve this damn problem!
greets
//edit: sorry for pushing this really old thread, but anyway, i think this will help anyone wo was as desperate as me.

dunno if this helps but, back in my Hima days, the "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE" error is due to the extended ROM not unlock & unhide.
you have to run the unlock & unhide procedure to avoid the FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE error.

really thanks, i have the same problem and with other unlockers can't work, Repart_doc.exe anytime give me this error, next time i format my pda want try this to format my extrom

Still an't working for my XdaIIs....

Can you attach the 'Repart_doc.exe' file...
I can't get my device formated....

its located here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Tools/Repart_DOC.exe
have you tried to unhide and then unlock with the "-xda3" switch ?
i use SOTI PocketController to remote control my device. it has a "command line" interface included. here you can type dos style commands. execute the unlocker, inclusive -unlock and -xda3 switch.
for example: \programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom.exe -unlock -xda3
this is the most important line.

this time for me work very well, but have reflashed to italian W2K3 Swisscom 1.40, on this rom Program Files are named Programmi like in any other italian rom, just copied (with resco explorer) the entire folder from "programmi" to a new folder created by myself under device root named "program files" and without any change to original link in windows/start menu/extrom tools are not needed
for me work on first try with this method, and now have missing megabytes of valuable space
all files needed are picked from this thread (except for rom and resco explorer)

still not working
I've tried all the method above... but still not working... I've tried a lot of roms but still... any other sugestions?

Hi guys
I tried everything but I just can't get extended rom to be formated.
Maybe someone as a better idea to solve the problem

Does PHM Registry Editor work with WinMobile 6?

Hi all,
I've tried many times to load PHM Registry Editor on my Kaiser with Windows Mobile 6 without success.
Does PHM Registry Editor work with Windows Mobile 6? If not, is there another one that may work?
Thanks,
Phil

Works for me
My installation worked.

mine too.. it is actually one of the few that did work, and pretty good.

It does work, give us some more details and let's see if we can help.
How far do you get?
Is it a Cab or Exe?
Do you get any error messages?
etc
Alternative - perhaps Total Commander using the //plugins directory.

Details
Hi,
Okay, that's good news to me, it will work, and it's just me
Here's the details; When I goto http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
to download, I've downloaded the ActiveSync (twice) and the CD Redistribution links and tried installing from within the phone and off my laptop via USB and each time I gotten an error on the phone saying the file is not recognizable. What am I doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Phil

Ok. From this site:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Choose this one from the list:
Pocketpc 2002 2003 arm/pxa
Move the unopened cab file to device with AS explorer function.
Tap it to install. (I have mine installed to SD card)
Mike

I have a really good reg editor here if you need it.
(Got it from.... a tool pack)
Since the upload doesn't allow this type of file... i had to zip it
anyway put it on the device of your htc phone and run it from there.
Note: its not an install, its an actual application
Another good reg editor is resco, and total commander.
(total commander's registry is in the root //)

Hi,
Wow, thanks. That worked without a hitch and I opened it up successfully on the phone. Thank you Mike, great help and right to the point. What did I miss? How would I have known that the 'PocketPC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)' was the file I needed for a HTC TyTNN II with Windows Mobile 6?
No to look at some of those useful edits, after a complete registry back up of course.
Cheers,
Phil

Just for general info on downloading file types:
Many sites offer a choice of different application file types to download I always go for the CAB file rather than the EXE file. The CAB file you install by putting it on the SD Card and tapping it. The advantage is that if you ever need to re-install you do not need your PC, just tap on the CAB again to install it.
For this and most devices nowadays you should choose:
ARM files
POCKETPC or PPC files (not smartphone)
WM5 or WM6 may also be stated. Most WM5 apps will work on WM6 and many WM 2003 apps will also work.
Nearly always if it's an EXE download then this is meant to be opened on the PC with the device connected by AS or Device Centre. Very occassionally you will come across an EXE that has to be put on the device and then run. (these rare files usually have a statement telling you to do this).

Thanks Mike, great info and very useful.
Cheers,
Phil

installation of *.cab was unsuccessful

Hi all,
I am facing a weired problem,
I have installed an application, it was installed very well, with no problems at all.
But when i flashed it with a new ROM, i have tried to installed that application again, i keep getting:
Installation of 1 ACERT_ARB.CAB was unsuccessful
shortly the whole package doesn't get installed at all.
I went through the program files, deleted any old stuff, tried to reinstall, but the same problem
i have put the old ROM back, but still no luck
am i missing something here? any advises please?
regards

i get that issue every now and again. I usually have to either use a different file explorer or do a soft reset and try again.

Thanks for sharing
i have found the solution finally
the current ROM doesn't support the CAB file i was installing,
i needed to do the following:
remove the SD card
reinstall the compatible ROM which support the CAB file
i hoop it it heps other they may had the same issue

reinstalled rom...
still problem continue
has a other solution?

I recently had this problem when trying to install a couple of CAB files. It appears that something was running that the CAB was trying to update. So, for example, I was trying to install "Inbox Extender" and POutlook (and/or tmail?) was running. Once I killed that, I could install the CAB.

CAB won't install suggestion
I saw this with several cabs that I ran using Resco Explorer and I had Kaiser Tweaks set to not delete the cab after install. The solution was to deselect that setting in Kaiser Tweak, ket a fresh (never run) copy of the cab file and run it using the generic file explorer. It has worked every time since then.

Acert_Arb.cab is no more working

This might be the security flags are not set properly and it is not allowed to install cab files during initialization.
Check the following reg keys:
;---- disable security check for installed programs
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
"0000101C"=dword:00000001

Problems installing TomTom 5 with WM6.5

Hi
I posted this in another board but didn't get an answer so I'll try again here (with more details).
I've tried to install TT5 on my Himilaya with esfane's German version WM6.5. After finally finding threads from people with the same problem I tried the solutions there but with no luck. What I've tried so far:
If I try to install the app using the .cab file it gets all the way to the end but then says installtion failed. I still get the today plug-in but it only beeps at me. The Navigator folder is empty.
I extracted the .cab on my PC, renamed the files according to the .ini and copied them to the folder on my PPC - no luck. The .exe just gives an error messge "failed to start". I'm assuming all of the registry entries are missing.
That brings me to the end of what I can do. I know the .cab install works with WM6.1, which is the solution in the wiki but it doesn't work on my device.
I don't want to upgrade because that means buying the software again.
HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance.
