Sorry if this is posted before.
I've a problem with my extROM in my xda2s. Before it, ive followed all instruction to unlock my extROM, then partition it then i've made an upgrade with my xda2s with WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE_XDA2_HIMALAYA, first i've got checksum error, so ive made an editing with editfix, after that the himaupgrade checked that the rom, the extrom with strange version (its not like, eg. 1.40, it shows somekind of block & the other ascii character) except the radio. So I kept continue it doubtly & it 100 complete. After that ive got my device just showed with bootloder mode, even ive reset it. i guess that ive done a destructive way ( right ?) so i flashed it again with WM5_pack_V3.rar but with no extROM, & my device alive again so i tried to unlock my extROM with ExtROMUnlocker(for_WM2005_Only).cab, unhide was succeed, unlock was unsucceed, so what am i gonna do now ??? , please help me ... or i'll go to hell with the wrath of my parents .... hiks

Ive upgraded BA device
Posting my experience for desingo
Well, i went so mad that i created http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
that wm5 has no extended rom, i downgraded to wm3 first.
created with the doc resize tool a 'partition" of 4mb's.
than i upgraded back to wm5.
installed the patch, rebooted
now my extrom is visible (see picture on the wikipage) and big enough to put files in, i consider it for now as the /storage of wm2003.
The data survives a registry and storage reset under wm5, but it wont start up,(yet).
The BlueAngel seems to miss a extended rom driver and some registry settings.
If anybody knows what files are used to be in the extended rom driver, please tell me, i
want to try with the wm3se files to recreate that "driver".
Or will the registry cab "EXTROM" thats on the wiki will do if they where integrated in the patched rom version?
After i installed this patch, after a reboot my autorun starts to "install"
So this is where i stranded with this problem, since i got wm5 on.
Curently running on my BlueAngel:
Wm2003SE 4.21.1088 Build 15159..2.6.4
Rom version 1.42.00 WWE
Rom Date 09/05/05
Protocol 1337.42
Radio 1.13
Bluetooth build 3900
Extrom: 1.42.115 WWE

under wm2003
if you resized your rom to go to wm5 you need to resize it back to ?? i gues around 12 or 16mb? for himalaya do not know the value, must be done under wm2003
Than reinstall the wanted extended rom in .nbf with the no id loader.
note: make sure other 2 are nbf are not in, unless you want to do a full upgrade again.
You can always see ur extrom again, but it must be bigger then 128k
and use the extrom cab or a extrom unlocker tool.

i think i dont understand the problem proberly. :lol:
Once you upgraded to wm5 with 60mb storage, you wiped out the extrom password, so your extrom is already unlocked.
so if you go back to wm3 your extrom is stil unlocked.

Only if you want to stay om wm3
The time, id could save you 15minutes, but you must be running wm3 and resized your extrom back to the original size, before you can reinstall your extended rom

Hi,
I upgraded to WM5 then realised I hadn't resized my ExtRom so I downgraded to 2003SE and tried to resize the ExtRom but I get an error: FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE_Failed . I have unhidden and unlocked my Ext Rom and can write files to it. I have tried hard resets etc but nothing works. Please help if you can.
If I can't resolve this what are the implications of leaving the ExtRom as it is and upgrading to WM5 :?:
Many thanks for your help
Simon
i am having this problem also
no solution yet it seems
the implication is tat we have less mem to use at 42 instead of 60
other than tat, its just a little performance hit, else works fine
i have this problem too !
downgrade to wm2003 and when trying ro unhide my extended ROM with extrom.cab , a folder with extrom icon apears at my device with label NAND Disk and i can't resize it to original size ! when trying to resize using REPORT_DOC.exe gettin the FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE error.
isn't there any solution ?! is my EXTROM dead ?!
Same here...
Same here... I have the same problem. I had search the forum for solution. Tried all kind solution. Even tried out different version of WM03 ROM to no avail. Hope someone out there can provide us with some help here.
Anyway, there are no implication for leaving the extrom as it is. Hope this help...
after u guys do unhide and unlock, did u restart the xda first before trying to resize?

Yes. I did. But still cannot resize....
When i delete the files inside my extrom, they keep returning after a soft reset.
I tried to delete them with total commander - > no success
when i unhide/unlock the extrom and delete them, again after a softreset they are back.
I also removed the "read only" attribute, but that doesn't do the job as well.. Also files wich i add are gone after a reset.
Anyone got a clue what to do ?
Hmmm...
I've been flashing whole day, trying different roms and
i found out that the 1.3.2.3 rom allows me to delete everything in the extended rom, but on the 1.6.2.2 (and 1.6.2.4) rom the files keep coming back.. very annoying situation :S
The same with me,
i have the 1.6.3.1 Vodafone Rom and i cannot delete any files in extended rom nor copy any file. Even all the unlockers ar of no help. It seems that this version is locked differently.
Haven't tried to flash a different rom yet.
Hmmm...
It must be a regsetting then i hope..?
If i've got time enough today i'll flash the 1.3 rom again and make a
registry backup.. after that i'll flash it again with the 1.6 and do the same
and then compare the registry's.
Maybe that will do the job
For me now is the time to quit looking for a way to write files in the extrom, i hope some genius ppcguru will find the way of the dragon
Eventhough there is a minor difference in the registry of both roms, changing the value's or deleting certain storagemanager keys doesn't do the job.
Just a matter of time i hope....
Edit
I compared the registry's of the 1.3 and 1.6 rom, and there are some differences,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1]
"Key"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\TrueFFS1"
"Flags"=dword:00000004
"SoftwareWriteProtect"=dword:00000001
"AutoDPDMode"=dword:00000001
also strange, that if you "delete" files, the memory comes free for that session, and you can make use of the memory, but after the soft reset it still wipes all added content.
Maybe there's a file with all cabs inside that it restores on reboot ?

I have compared the boot.rgu of ROM 1.5.x device and 1.6.x device. I think the key to the problem should be the \windows\boot.hv file, which come from \windows\boot.rgu. IF we could change remove the "writeprotect" key in that file the protection should be gone.

Extended_ROM
Hi all!
did anyone tryed roll-back to an old ROM and then delete and copy a new ExtROM to device and apply the last ROM in next?
thanks,
Atary
Still a problem or a soulution available?
Still a problem I geuss, at least based on the forum contents.
What could also be used is a ExtROM backup and edit (like the ER2003Edit for Himalaya I used to use) util.
Hopefully it should not be to difficult for the guys that made aWizard: Buzz_lightyear, machinagod, loki and ahlok_hk

Hi,everyone.
I tried to upgrade my XDAIIs to WM5.but met "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"when I tried to resize the EXT_ROM.
I've done a hard reset and install the ext_rom files as a standard procedure.Then install xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB.
I tapped unhide then did a soft_reset,'unlock' then soft_reset.So I did see the ext_rom as well as copying/deleting files in it.
But when I used the DOC repartitioning tool with default value'128kb',I received the error "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"
I've tried several times,still doesnt work...
ROM:1.42.00 WWE
Radio:1.13.00
EXTROM version:1.42.119 WWE
Any help will be great.Thanks for advance. :x
me too!
I had this same error on an sx66. I have 2 of them one of them gave this error and I couldnt upgrade, the other worked fine and it's upgraded to wizard v2a now and doing great. Any ideas on what this error means or how to get around it and reformat the ext rom?????
Me too
Got exactly the same issue,,, At least i have installed wm5 without reformating the rom but I'd like to find why mine BA is doing that instead of the one of a friend, exactly the same origin... For my friends it works at the first time....
Hiya
I was searching XDA-DEVELOPERS website about 2 days to find a solution for this problem, I have an I-mate PDA2K, i used all EXTROM tools on this website like this:
1- Installed EXTROM_tools,
2- run UNHIDE ,
3- then run UNHIDE,
4- Soft Reset,
5- now i can see Extended_ROM on my file explorer, i can read it , and able to write on it ... copy paste ...
6- run REPART_DOC.exe on my device,
7- tried many sizes like 128kb, 1024, 2048, 512, 61000, .................
but on this step i always get the god damned FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed,
i finally used Task 28 under MTTY but nothing happened, still have this problem,
No Wayyyyyy ! No wayyyyyyyyyy to repart my DOC size, .... noooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
anyone going to help me plzzzzzzzzzzz ?
I second that request. I've got exactly the same problem, however with a genuine Qtek 9090. After unhiding and unlocking, I can delete all the contents of Storage and ExtROM. In fact, both are empty now. However, any attempt to use the partitioning tool only results in that %&$ยง/%(/ error message.
I've tried nearly any wm 2003 firmware since someone mentioned he succeeded by using an old pda2k firmware - still the same result. I've even changed the name of the Storage FS driver in the registry - no success either.
I'd be happy to provide some debug information or the like.
PLEASE HELP!
you need a language specific tool
z.b. in the german version programm files are called programme, but the link show on the englisch programm files.

My ExtROM _is_ unlocked. I did write that I was able to delete all its content. So it's quite pointless to talk about localized unlockers.
Reasonable comments, anyone?
There is I believe a way to do this through MTTY. At least get everything back to normal before running the resizer tool. (A way to bring DOC chip to factory formating) Its probably corruption of the DOC. I remember doing this on the Universal, I just don't remember any of that right now. Do an all device search for MTTY and DOC for a possible solution and verify it with some of the hardware gurus first before attempting.
Well, what I did is that
set 14 0
task 28
task 0
sequence which cleared the ExtROM and corrupted the boot screens (there are white stripes across it now), but had no effect on the DOC_repart error message.
I'd really appreciate some investigation from the gurus here since the problem exists for several years(!) now without any solution.
guys...
try this...
downgrade to wm2003
unlock/unhide/repart your doc first to your liking.
then upgrade to wm5 or wm6.

@Mods
(I hate to reply to this but i have to about questioning my reading skills)
---------------
Actually IF you tried it right for the first time you can never go wrong.
in WM2003
1. UNHIDE
2. UNLOCK
3. FORMAT_DOC set it to the smallest size
Because technically and sensibly:
You cannot unlock a hidden partition
You cannot format/resize a locked partition
That's as plain as it could ever be.
My 3-LINER INSTRUCTION is sufficient to solve your problem.
MTTY doesnt have to enter the scene it's only used if you have a broken mail button.
You(Generalizing) never said exactly where and what OS is you(Generalizing) are doing. Such WHINING deserves my straightforward answer.
So we give instructions, as we are given the problem.
What's not reasonable from what i've said?
Even a 5th grader can do instructions.
(now that's harsh)
FYI
There IS and WILL BE an Extrom in and WM5/WM6 even if you have changed it in WM2003. It's part of the BA.
You just cant see it and it's not being utilized. it's a Disk_On_Chip. if you managed to know MTTY.
You SHOULD know that.
ROLLBACK to 2003se then do everything right. Otherwise, read the WIKI.
and if you're sure you're doing everything right then you might have a faulty hardware.

Sorry to tell it that straight, but if your answer isn't due to a failure of reading, it has to be due to a failure of understanding.

straight? duh! it's crooked.
i guess you know logic... the flow of it, then analyze this.
hello...
im NOT the one who has the problem here...
AND you are NOT the ONLY ONE who got that problems here.
your quote above this is in response to my post, is actually a RETALIATION.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND that my post's subject WERE the posts before
if its hard to comprehend then let the readers decide.
and regarding the extrom. i can access the DOC via MTTY with WM6.
which makes you wrong and im correct. nuff about that.
1. Nobody said factually and specifically that they tried it with WM2003 at one time (In General),
2. You've got a problem then im helping,
(i actually helped someone with my post and pmed me via yahoo... 3 persons)
3. I've helped... you berrated.
4. Not a good member, actually not constructive.
you wont get any reasonable answers if you yourself aint being reasonable.
actually i was the only one who posted some help for you,
and that is how you react.
ahaha... i hope the mods are reading this.
i gladly like to hear their reasonable comments and close this thread.
This thread is to investigate a software failure which circumstances are accurately described, not to please your ego. Your past contributions were useless since you didn't pay attention to the specifications given.
There's no point in repeating inapplicable phrases, and doing so in spite is not what I call "some help" - it is in fact pure nuisance and puts the problem solving at risk.
Please keep your narcissism out of this thread. Thank you for your understanding.
is this probleme solved??
Maybe you try this:
1. Downgrade to wm2003s
2. copy unhide&unlock (*.cab) to main memory and run it
3. start/program/extrom there we have 4 program ( hide, lock, unhide, unlock) --> run unhide then unlock ---> softreset
4. copy repartDOC (*.exe) to main memory and run it:
- format with 128kb --> you'll have 60Mb storage
- format with 16000kb (recomment) --> you'll have 45Mb storage
6. then Upgrade to wm5.0 or 6.0
7. after upgrade --> do a clean with record+camera+softreset --> no/ yes/ yes
Enjoy

And that's the point where the mentioned error message occurs.
Some fellow posters and me tried some dozens of different wm2003(se) versions on their Blue Angels, ran virtually any unhide/unlock tools available here, cleared their ExtROM and Storage areas to the very last bit, even tampered with the bootloader accessible via MTTY to get things in order.
To me, it's out of the question that most of the posters who've reported that error could be to simpleminded to follow the few instructions. It appears that there are some devices which have to be either different by hardware or by software that can't be repartitioned by the published tool.
However it's a fact that the Blue Angel is an outdated device these days and I fear that the dev gurus won't pay attention anymore.

WE DID USE WM2003SE
WE DID UNHIDE AND UNLOCK
(I even told you that we deleted all content of ExtROM and Storage)
We're NOT to crackbrained to follow some simple instructions. because of that...
PLEASE EVERYONE
STOP SUGGESTING
1) to rollback to WM2003SE
2) to use the unhide/unlock tool properly
WE DID!

Hi all. I am having trouble with the tuma wm5 and i am trying to downgrade back to wm2003se. I have the directions listed below but I am unable to pass the first step.
I cant find the
"??Your_DIR??\Downgrade to WM2003SE" folder.
Im sure its simple but its beating me up.
Can anyone help me? has anyone done this before? any help would be greatly appreciated.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
What the wiki means by ??your_dir??\downgrad...... is that you need to download the BA WM5 Downgrade Pack and save it to a new folder. Once you have done that you should be able to follow the wiki instructions.
Why dont you try the new Logout WM5 ROM first. I just flashed it and it seems very stable. Better than going back to 2003SE any day!!
Good luck
I checked out the logout thread earlier today. Im very interested, but this tuma rom has given me so much trouble that was kinda scared. oh well what the hell, ill try it out.
Do I have the downgrade to 2003se first?
my current memory settings on my phone is
storage
total 43.26
in use 32.10

On the tuma upgrade it says I should change my storage total from 43.26 to 60mb, does the instructions on the logout instalation include how to do this?
Thanks a bundle in advance!!!
Should I upgrade to the latest radio and bluetooth stack first? or after?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The bloetooth stack is part of the ROM. When you upgrade, whatever you had is wiped.
The Radio ROM is upgraded independently. I have been using Radio 1.13, which came with my machine, until I finally decided to try 1.15. No regrets so far.
Upgrade whichever you want first...
thanks alot brazilian joe. I also have a qtek 9090...I just got it after someone gave it to me. Im usually a treo user, but when i get this bad boy up and running im probably gonna give my treo to my brother.
Do you recomend any memory settings? some instructions just tell you to set it without telling you how to do it. do i need a special program?
thanks alot
it is not required to change it to 60mb, and it is easier to downgrade if you dont, so for now unless your sure you want to keep wm5 then leave it as it is.
Thanks for the info...im gonna go for the logout rom.
I dont mean to be asking so many questions, but Ive been looking all over
on how to set my memory to 60mb and all i get is brocken links. can someone help?
the closest ive gotten is this but i cant find the Repart_DOC.exe file.
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (or a bit more, if you want a NOT working extended ROM)
Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done.
Soft reset.
You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds.
