I cant resize my Ext Rom: FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE

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?

Rom Update: Error [260]

While trying to update my MDA Vario with the new AKU 2 ROM of T-Mobile the RUU puts the MDA in bootloader. Then Windows notifies me of a new unknown USB device and the update utility gives me an communication error with error code [260] - upgrade failed. :shock:
1) How to solve this problem as this would make me or
2) Is it possible for someone to make a complete backup on a mini SD card of his HTC Wizard? From what I have read on Internet this can be written to a file. When posted on the XDA ftp I can write this file back to a mini SD card and restore a original ROM (for this I need a short tutorial).
option 2 assumes that the problem is related to the ROM. I super CID and SIM unlocked using the well known tools. Maybe this has gone wrong at some point :?: ?.

I'm having the same problem moving up to a custom 2.26. Did you ever find a solution.
Thanks,
Jeff

dont qoute me on this.. but i believe its an issue with the update utility... hopefully someone else can confirm or deny this..
but you can try this one:
i dont know how much either of you know so i will try some directions with this...
take my rar file, extract them to a folder, lets use c:\rom for an example
if you rom you have is in an *.exe format then use winrar to extract the rom to a folder then take the nk.nbf file and copy it to c:\rom and then run the update utility
if your rom is already in a rar or zip file then just extract the nk.nbf file to the c:\rom folder and then run the update utility
hope that helps

I really appreciate your help, but before I risk bricking my phone, could you tell you tell me how this differs from the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and RUU*.* that are part of the custom ROM update package I already have?
Thanks,
Jeff

the custom rom that you have, does it have the NoID update utility already?

ANSWER
I spent a few hours fiddling with this, and it turns out that my problem was that I have a miniSD installed. Make sure you pop your miniSD out of the slot before you begin the update, and it should work.

WTF that is WEIRD
i have flashed many roms and never had an issue with the sd card being in... but will definitely file that in the back of my brain in case i ever run into the same issue

Yes, it does. Oh, I also tried this without the MiniSD in the device (a known but really strange problem). Still getting the error.

Error 260 Finally Gone!!!
Well, just for the heck of it, I tried xelencin's 2.26 ROM update from another PC...and it succeeded.
Clearly, it is a new issue related to my laptop but it is probably going to quite a bit of trouble to track down.
Thanks everyone,
Jeff

Stuck on window mobile screen
I got similar problem on XDA Exec last week and fixed it. I do not know whether the steps will help on you XDA IIi or not.
I was upgrading the XDA Exec to a newer ROM version and keep getting country error code. Whatever I did caused the device to stuck on window mobile screen. I simply put the device into the cradle after reseting it. The screen still shown the window mobile image. I ran the ROM update program again (I think it is MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe). It showed an error but I ran it again withthout taking my device out of the cradle. It run sucessful the second time.
I notice that when the program runs, it close ActiveSync application from your desktop and the device screen turns to black screen with some simple texts on it.
I hope this help.

HardReset - this is your only possibility. BTW: WM6 has problems with password. Dont use this security method.

You dont need another rom. Just hard reseset and chose format storage and clean reg hive from the menu. You must press the multimedia and the record buttons before the os/radio version appears for you to get the menu.

htc p4350 :INVALID UPDATE TOOL

This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU version to upgrade.

Hello Tramuyo,
everytime I open my desk drawer I see my Terra-Brick, am I getting paranoid about this pain or does it seem to me that you know something?
I was checking your last posts and it seems to me that you know a lot about this whole Cid-Lock/ Brick thing. Am I right, that with this Tool that maybe exists it should be possible to recover any device?
And, btw sorry to bother you with those damn Terras....

well, i just doin research. Im like yours
playing with htc herald and tapping keyboard with Invalid Certificate thingy and that stuff
Ive talked with Olipro and he says that *maybe* he have a solution for that
