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

App unlocking help

I am running WM6, but my company implemented push email, and the device is now app unlocked after installing some certificates etc. I cannot run half of my programs - I tried the SDA-Application.exe program, which seemed to be succesful, but did not work. I cannot open a registry editor either.
I search all over this forum but cannot find the answer - how can I app unlock my wizard again?
We are also about to be issued HTC Touches which are similarly app locked, so it would be useful to have a method that worked for both!
Thanks

have you tried the lokiwiz and awizard apps?
rgs

No - these don't do certificate/application unlocking do they - I thought just CID/SIM locking?

PS I tried installing lokiwiz but I can't due to the app lock!

Both awizard and lokiwiz don't simply remove the Unsigned App Policies nor RAPI communication restrictions. What they need to work is for the phone to be in that state (app+rapi unlocked) and that's why there are some CAB that go along that are supposed to be run prior.
You can use my tool (WST - check signature) that does it with a click of a button
cheers

Great tool - didn't connect on Vista, connected on XP but says:
Not needed!
Regsitry settings are already set to use RAPI tools.
But I still cannot run unsigned apps! I have rebooted. I know they added a root and user certificate to the device - all apps have to be signed now.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

Sure, get yourself a registry editor and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies and edit two values:
:00001006=dword:1
:0000101a=dword:1
hope it does the trick

I tried mobile reg editor, which lets you edit the registry from a PC, and one of the reg keys was set to 0. But I changed it, rebooted, and same probem

Ok, looks like they changed some other settings that interfere with the permissions.
Check if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CertMod\AllowUntrustedApps is set to DWORD: 1

Hang on I figured it out....the 00001006 key was for some reason not applied once I rebooted. Thanks for all the help!
For anyone needing to do the same - I had to download mobile registry editor from http://mobile-registry-editor.en.softonic.com/pocket as that allows you to edit keys from the PC without installing anything.
My new problem, is that on our touch/elf I cannot change this key with this program as it says access denied - so there must be some registry permissions on there.

hsclater said:
Yes that is set to 1. It should be right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I pointed that because when i set it to 0 the phone refused to install apps so i thought it was the responsible registry value.
Must be another one then...

Thanks for all your help - my wizard is now sorted.
Any idea how they restricted the registry on a touch so I can't change that value?

I believe those settings are more related to WM6 than to the specific device so they should be the same.
btw, how did you sort it out? I'd like to know for future use
tx

Mine was just fixed by changing the 1006 value. The first time, the phone didn't take the change, but the second time it did and now works.
But the touch, it won't let me edit the registry remotely - access denied.
Cheers.

upload Cert_SPCS.cab to your phone and run it
PS:
sorry for asking but i didn't read your edit before

Strange (null) In Kaiser HTC Homeplug

Hi all
I installed the HTC Home plug Based on the Kaiser one. With the Weather Patch
But now I have a strange problem. In the Weather Tab it says (null) instead of High or Low.
Same go's for the Ringtone.
Well the problem is: When I reload the Plug it works. But when I reboot my device it show op (Null) again until I reload the Plugin.
Does anyone know this problem???
Thanks in advance.

Same problem, haven't found a real fix yet but I got a workaround you can try.
After every reset of the device follow these steps.
- Disable HTC Home from the today screen.
- Open HTC Home Customizer
- Change some minor detail (usually selected weather city for me)
- Save
- Go back to today screen and HTC home is there with all language files working magically.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass but I haven't found a better solution just yet. Hopefully someone else can answer this for us but in the meantime you can use my cheap method to make it look right.

You have to rename:
windows\HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0409.mui
windows\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
to your locale variable (if your rom isn't wwe), in my case it's spanish (0C0A):
windows\HTCHome.dll.0C0A.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0C0A.mui
windows\HH_0C0A_WeatherCities.xml
It worked for me.
There's another way to do it, harder but way better, i usually do this with my own cabs because after a hard reset i don't like having to change everything again. Steps:
1- Decompress the cab with winrar
2- Edit the file "setup.xml" and correct things you want to change about installation setup: name of files to install (like in this case), name of registry variables to write (like in 10-button commanager for wing), etc
3- Find and download "Cabpack 1.4", be sure to use the following options for it to work: "compression type = mszip", "Create cabinets for = 16 bit extractor"
4- Use it for re-compressing your modified cab and install.
5- Voilá... great pre-modified cabs that you can keep for the next hard-reset.
Hope you like it. Regards

Hello and thanks for this help !
But it doesn't work for me. Maybe you can help me ?
I have the same problem with "null:null"
But the files are already named with my locale variable. (I'm not sure)
windows\HTCHome.dll.040C.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.040C.mui
windows\HH_040C_WeatherCities.xml
The language of my Windows Mobile 6 is in french. But i want to display weather of "Lausanne" in Switzerland (100C)
You say : if your rom isn't wwe --> How can i see if my rom is wwe ?
Thanks a lot for your answers

Sorry , I dont know how to insert a link and images.
Who will help me?

Mirror
Ive Created A Mirror For This Rom Due To The Difficulty Ive Just Had Downloading It.
Heres The Mirror Anyway...
http://www.mediafire.com/file/z0yzm3gyuon/RUU.rar

Hey xucue,
Both links doesn't seem to work here.
The downloadlink gives me a page with much chinese characters. I tried de red button but this doesn't work.
Would you post te correct links or maybe upload it to another server?
Thank you.
ps: wat is te free ram?

Oh sorry OllieD's,
Didn't see your your post.
Think this page was in my cache memory.

Downloaded, tried unsuccessfully, get stuck on 19% and then gives me 262 error, after that bricks the phone. To get the phone back, had to reflash with original htc firmware. Tried 2nd time with another way, no success stays at 0%, i mean without running sspl. Am i doing something wrong?

thanks for your link,dear dllied.
to update the rom,you have to make sure your wings' spl is 0.91.
i have test it,and it work well,so i share it to all.

available ram is same to office 6.0.
in my other rom,the available ram have 20 with sd card after flash rom.but it is only contain chinese language.

Yes i have spl 0.91, Had it since update with Alcaline's rom. But still same stuff.

rom is running! battery load over usb is disabled - go to settings an change it. every thing is ok!
i wonder why there is no rom with phonecanvas 2g for wings. also, why is the original s740 weather gone?
but: rom is cool and fast!
many thanks

ok tell me if i am doing something wrong in steps:
1. Unlock the device with sda-unlock
2. Backup-just in case.
3. Put spl-0.91-wings on the phone and run it, accepting everything, then when it says usb, unplug and replug usb cable
4. Run Rom updateutility.exe on pc
Then it goes up to 19% everytime and gives me 262 error. Triying recovery because phone boots to 3 colour mode, as there is no rom in it. Says recovery successful. The flashing again, stays at 0% then gives mee same 262 error.
Then the only way to get the phone back is to flash with original htc firmware. So what am i doing wrong?

may this helps: my ROMUpdateUtility wasn't right. take the nbh and put it in a folder with another one - from an another rom!

Is there any way to get the eT9.Wings.0414.kmap.txt included in this rom? I need the keymapping for norwegian language..!

I found a german keyboard layout file for the wings: http://pocketpc.ch/showpost.php?p=217070&postcount=7 It also adds support for keys like ä, ü and ö.
Just copy the file into the windows directory of your S730. Then open your favourite registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayoutDlls and change the value of 000007FF to eT9.Wings.0407.kmap.txt.

Thanks.. I've made a backup from my HTC... if you want it, here it is..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayouDlls]
Change the value of: "000007FF" to eT9.Wings.0414.kmap.txt

Is there anything special I have to do in order to be able to flash my S730 with this rom? I see that some people had problems with it..
@Zeerocool, do you like the rom? Recommended to upgrade from Alkaline's build?

Ok, i think i am unlucky. Done evrything that i possibly could think of. Tried putting .nbh file into different rom update folders - no success, tried changing updateromutility.exe from various roms, tried customruu - no success, tried renaming .nbh file into latin only letters - no success. Tried with 3 different Windows systems: XP, Vista and 7. 2 different pcs. This just doesnt work, gets stuck on 19% always, all other roms upgrade fine, but not this one. Please help.

nice one, quick and stable.
I remade SlidingPanel CPRs to support Calibri,
1) install Calibri mod by NRGZ first
2) copy CPRs to your \Windows folder (replace existing)
I also add BaseHue and ClearType apps I found lacking
Also, I made my own Home layout without Profiles (you can easily access via On/Off key) and with compressed size for speed
I add regedit for your convenience, here are the mods you might like:
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart to 0
* HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit to 65535 (tweak)
* HKLM\System\Inbox\RecipientAutoComplete and set/change the following DWORD: MaxSuggestions=4 (for example)
oh, and you can run Security app to all off so that you can rearrange Windows folder without restrictions + batterymeter that is a line on display top + reboot option added to On/Off button menu
all in the ZIP attached

+ I give you a new desktop theme, just place scheme in Application data/home and pics in \Windows

Finally success.

[GUIDE] Translate a ROM into german and maybe any other language (experimental)

Hi folks.
At first i have to say, that this is a somehow unclean and tricky solution, but it works somehow and maybe it can be improved.. There are some threads on this forum, which deal with that, but i'm going to describe, what i did, to get it working.
You need:
- The new Touch IT 2.1-ROM (don't know yet, if it works with other ROMs - think only if it's the same build)
- A backup from a german ROM (mine was made by SPB-backup from the cmEX-image, also don't know if other ROMs/backup tools work)
- The language files from here (German.rar)
- A registry editor (I used PHM regedit)
First i took all the mui-files out, by using the Windows search and copying them into another folder, then i transferred them via ActiveSync into the \Windows folder.
Then I put a link to the registry tool and to the explorer and PHM regedit in the TF3D programs panel (you'll need that, because after changing the registry to use german language your start menu will be screwed up for some reason and you can't access any program anymore).
Now you have to change two registry values and optionally set your region in the regional settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"="1031" (for german)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"="1031"
-> It's time to do a soft-reset and you'll notice, that the pin-dialogs and so on are in german.
Go to the TF3D programs panel (as i said: Start menu will be screwed up - there are links for programs and settings, but they won't work) and start explorer to execute your backup.
After that your ROM should be fully german.
This is probably not a very good solution and it's kind of buggy, but it is a start..
I couldn't get it until know, how to cook the language files into a ROM (tried it with extracting the new Touch IT 2.1 and inserting the files from German.rar, but ended up with the device starting up and showing a black screen all the time).
If somebody could help me out with that, i would, if i am allowed, make a german version of the Touch IT 2.1 ROM.
Any additions or corrections appreciated!!
