When I try to Format FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

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

HELP! on upgrading my sx66 to wm5

I have downloaded the BA_WM2005_5.03.02WWE.rar and patched_2K5_no_check_for_signed_modules.rar and tried to upgrade, but whenever I load BaUpgradeUt.exe it will say I have an incompatible device and I have to exit. Please tell me what are my doing wrong, or if there's a different rom file for the sx66 that's different from the BA one. Thanks a million!

There are many ways to approach the problem all documented within the following post and the wiki. The problem you are incountering is the nbf file needs to edited using the xda3tool to match your device (which I believe most fail to do) or you can use the following as it is about as easy as it gets:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=152288#152288
After installing WM5, copy the following to the device and execute to eliminate the sound/speed problems of the SX66:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=152533#152533
Many other fixes can be added on top the one above, but this is the most important for the SX66.
Cannot run SX66_remove_camera_reg.cab
Hi, thank you very much for solving my first problem, but now I can't seem to be able to run the remove cameral cab, everytime I run it it shows installation was unsuccessful, but other cab files install just fine? Any help is very appreciated.
Re: Cannot run SX66_remove_camera_reg.cab
Try this cab file. I had changed the registry directly with the resco registry editor. When I used the posted cab file I got the same error message.
Sorry, I can't seem to download it...
I'll try again.
Wow, thanks alot, I didn't get the chance to try it out, but I did remove the reg entryes using tre.

Perform these steps in WM2003SE
1. unlock extrom
2. unhide extrom
3. resize extrom to 128k
you now have 60 mb storage (it is storage, not storage card)

Very strange... i've asked a friend with an imate p2k and the tools worked correctly, so i've downgraded to an imate wm2003se rom (my was a qtek one) and everything goes ok..
I'm glad i was helpful
is there any way to resize this without downgrading?

try this fix....
you should try to flash your extrom to another language of Extrom... or another carrier.
according to the bottom notes of THIS(Read this) post...
then try the procedure again in WM2003
PH20B O2___001 (O2XdaIIs)
Tried that ROM, as well as others to no avail. Installed WM6 anyway, let the internal battery drain, and random stuff disappeared. Owner info, start menu and today items, program settings, etc. I assume because it was stored in volatile memory. Please investigate!

Unlock extrom does not work.

Hi,
I have used the WM5 TuMa-Version a long time, and ist works well.
Since a few days I try to install the Helme 1.3.2 Version, but I want to go the recommended way with using the 60MB Rom. So I downgrade the BA to WM2003 (T-Mobile germany edition), have installed the extrom cabs and try to execute "unhide" -but it doesn't work.
So I have executed the "xda-developer-unlocker.cab" (version 1.6) to unlock the BA (I hope so) to install programs like these. But the result is the same -I can install the progs, but if I try to execute the "unhide" I gt the error message "unlockextrom or some of it components cannot be found...."
I want to enlarge the rom to 60MB like recommended -but how can I do it?
Do I something wrong?
regards
Groby
Think ist due to the german, The program is looking for itsel under program files and not 3hat ever the german is for that.
With resco explorer edit the short cut.
Hi!
thx for the fast reply. The easiest things are oft the best.
I don't have resco explorer, so I copied the folder via active sync from the german "Programme"-folder to a new folder "program files", and it works well.

ExtROM Registry Unlock + O² WM6 ExtROM Files

Device: HTC 4350 - Shipped with original WM6 ROM. O² XDA Terra
Use a registry editor to change the following values (or just download the ExtendedROM_HTC4350.reg.zip and run the .reg file from your device):
Code:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1"
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:00000001
Make a softreset and after that you should see a folder named "Extended_ROM2" in the root.
I have attached my ExtRom for you developer guys.
Filelisting:
Code:
ChgScutAttri.exe
Config.txt
DRM_061130_070209_DoubleGetFix.cab
MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab

PP_Suspend_Resume_Null.xml
PP_theme_color.xml
remove_proxy_workaround.CAB
PS: Moderator, pls add to wiki etc.
I tried to expose the "Extended_Rom"-Folder on my P4350 (de, eplus,WM5) the way you discribed but no luck. The values I modified with regedit are gone right after soft-reset.
Any hints on that?
Please pay attention:
This is for Windows Mobile 6!
But i remember having the problem with the registry switching back on softreset (MDA Compact 2), but i can't remember how i solved it Sry mate...
Probably somebody else has a hint on that...
Sorry to mention: But with awizard you can dump the extended_rom also. And with total commander you can see the extended_rom without any reghack - and then you just have to copy the files to sd card.
Becuse you might get problems with camera application. Perhaps you can only choose "main" or "extrom" tehre might be no sd card - that was the problem for wizard when unlocking extended_rom
I would use totalcommander
And btw - the extended_rom is posted in Terra-dump thread.
lol
Well sry, but i'm using total commander, and there was no ExtROM already mounted. So i had to regedit. And can you gimme the link to the terra dump thread?

I did it once with awizard = it is 57MB
and with pdocread = it is 62MB
because the end adress is another on awizard than with pdocread.
lol
BUT be careful!!!
Hehe.
You can dump this rom perfect in anichillus Corekitchen. I modified it - BUT i forgot to reconvert the rgu to hv - that bricked my device.
But it works.
just to clear this a bit more into details... what do you mean by bricked ? completely burned, or just the rom got messed up? another question: is the bootloader part of the ROM or stored in another part of the device?
Today i tried to mount the IMGFS and it worked as i removed the whole htc anti spy dll, but it was only accessible over the usb/active sync connection and as of windows locks, some files couldn't be copied :/ pretty sad, seemed to be a easy way to get stuff out of the rom... 90% were copyable... the rest not :/

Bricked = only OS was messed up.
awizard = can only dump OS and Extended_rom --> IPL/SPL and all other is stored somewhere else.
pdocread = the same --> only OS.
We cannot flash IPL/SPL, Splash, Radio = becuase we don´t have an modified RUU or Bootloader like on hermes.
Please try to find a way.

Ok so.....what the hell does this do?
It reveals all the files your provider (O², T-Mobile, ePlus, ...) has added to the HTC Devices.
Mostly it's smoe dialers, bootscreens, themes etc.
For this ExtROM they even added bugfixes as well

BUT they are learning.
The MMS ans Internetsettings are included in ROM. SO if you disable the customizing after hardreset and the Extended_rom isn´t installed --> you have to delete the internetsettings manually.
They are getting better
lol
Well at least the O² ExtROM is a lot better than the t-mobile ones (or even the vodafone...).
Vodafone always tries to push his f*ckn "Vodafone Live" crapstuff and T-Mobile is always messing up screens and buttons -.-

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.
