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

Calendar from WM2003SE to WM6

Hello,
I have backuped my calendar in WM2003SE. Then, I have installed WM6 and I can't see any option to restory any backup. Is there special application needed? If so, I'd be grateful if you can provide it to me. How do I restore calendar from WM2003SE?
EDIT: I have installed "Mobile Backup" for WM6 but it doesn't find my backup from WM2003SE

What application did you use to perform the backup in WM2003? There is no native application so you must have used something else to do it.

Argh - it's not my PDA and I was convinced it was pre-installed. Something like xbackup. Am I right?
The name of backuped file (I've chosen to backup ALL DATA) is "CompactFlashBackUpNew"
EDIT: Couldn't find that xbackup on the web, can anybody provide it? thx in advance

If I remember correctly xbackup was included in the original i-mate pda2k ROMs. I think that is the application I used to have. It was a 3rd party application that was included by the distributor of the phone. I have never seen it available anywhere other than from I-Mate. If you can restore back to WM2003 and then download and use a different application (or better yet sync to a PC) then upgrade you will be far better off.

hi, I use pimbackup from we2003 to wm6 and it works

same problem i can not get my xbackup contact back
is there any hope

Diamond hard reset and restore by Sprite Backup 6.22

Hi All,
I've tried to restore my diamond about few times of hard reset. I've tried these software:
Resco Backup, backup fine but cannot restore perfectly...
Spb backup, cannot making backup file and of course cannot restore..
Sprite backup, the most recommended backup software by htc, successful back up file but also cannot restore perfectly and few waring appear after restore.....
So did anyone has successful restore diamond after hard reset? Pls share your recommended software and also the software setting. I'm really tired to reinstall all software after hard reset. B4 I'm using Spb backup for my old D810, it's work well and won't miss anything after restore.
Pls help and share your experience, thanks!!

My experience sharing
I have been backed up successfully, here below is my experience sharing, hope it would help:
The key points are
1. Make sure your storage memory must bigger than 15MB
(How to check? Start> Settings> System tab> Memory> Main tab).
2. Do not back up the “File System”. Please choose ” System Data”> uncheck “File System”.
(Note: If you back up the “File System”, it will cause an error message due to low storage memory.)
Good luck!

Try, SPB Backup again & make sure you uncheck (Stop processes before backup) under options. This should allow for it to finish the BackUp process succesfully & then restore from Hard Reset with no issues. Hope this works.
*Note*
Resco Backup, Sprite did not work correctly for me either.

I've tried spb already with your suggestion last time, but the back up file didn't restore perfectly, some important file missing as well.....

Im, not sure then. I am currently using the latest update from SBP & it worked even after a hard reset...sorry I could'nt help.

Did you try with the new Spb Backup v2? It seems to run beautifully (after unticking stop processes), but haven't tried a restore yet.

Spirite Backup TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY DIAMOND.
I tried restoring because the music player in TouchFLO 3D would no longer sound (Every other program and sound worked)
F**KING DIAMOND

i can not agree more! only spb has the right (and safe) backup. i already used on diamond without a glitch. lots of option.
back-up! before you tweak it or try any crazy stuff BACK-UP.

Does anyone know where to get the SpriteBackup_WWE_ME file that is supposedly free for Diamond users?
I've gone on HTC's website and entered my S/N etc but when I click ok I just go to a dead link. Well done HTC
????

SPB Backup 2.01 wotk great for me and with Stop process checked.

Anyone have any luck using the newer version of Sprite Backup (6.5) with the HTC Diamond?

Yes, runs fine, no problems in back-up and restore(even after hard-reset).

Thank you! Good to know. I have backed up a few times with 6.5 but haven't need to restore yet...

File System problem
I am using Sprite for backing up, and time to time I get the message "Fail to backup file system".
I presume I am not the only one to get that, so I thought to write here the answer I got from Sprite Customer Service -
"There is possibly a corruption in the device registry which is disallowing Sprite Backup to backup your device. Please follow these steps to avoid the error;
1) Open Sprite Backup
2) Click 'Options'
3) Click 'Backup'
4) Click 'General'
5) Untick the box next to 'Check for corrupt registry'
6) Click 'OK' then proceed with backup as per usual."
This solved for me the issue, but I don't really know what is their definition of "corrupt registry". I did some hacks here and there, maybe anything different than the original registry is considered "corrupt"?
Does anyone have any comment on this?
thanks

SbpClone/Backuo .. works flawless

Depending what you want to backup
If you want to backup SMS/MMS/EMAIL/PIM and your documents, I have a fast method.
If you want to backup your app too -> Software

PIMBackup + Resco Backup

Yes, but It works
So, PIMBackup doesn't work for me. (Search for Storage Card !) and it seems there is a bug with MMS restore (see http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm in TODO list)
Works for you R. DevilR ?
Seb = = = o>°o and is .vol

The CD that comes with your phone has Sprite Backup included although I use Spb Backup

I just use PIMBackup for SMS & Call logs with daily schedule... but no MMS (or mail).
I forgot to mention 1 excellent PIM backup (for contacts, calendar, notes & task... that's why I don't use PIMBackup for that) : ActiveSync .
Resco Backup is just for when-I-think-about-it backup .
For "Storage Card" bug, you can choose the backup folder : there's a little button "Browse" (on 2nd screen).

"Phone EFS Clear" in Odin. Am I screwed?

Someone please help me...
I accidentally flashed on Odin with the "Clear EFS" box checked, and the phone boots up and has a signal... I can make phone calls, but it cannot connect to any kind of data service. Wifi still works, but I cannot use 3G data AT ALL.
I've tried every kind of reset, and every kind of re-activation there is... Does anyone have any ideas???

You need to add an APN in your settings probably

You just need to add the APN again to gain 3G data access..
Im also about to flash my phone with CLEAR EFS option on hopes to restore the IMEI and product code from JPC.. to what firmware did you flash to ?

I was going to do this when flashing to JM7 but then I read that what the option essentially does is restore the backup files from the same directory, and apparently if you don't have these files the entire EFS folder ends up empty. Can anyone confirm this?
I managed to fudge up the backup efs files so unless someone knows a way to edit the existing ones I guess I'll have to live with a KOR marked phone.

Editing your Product code:
I had the whole product code issue when I flashed to JPC starting with O2U and JPC took me to KOR... and with some tinkering I now have an XEU device! I managed to edit my product code using the method detailed below. I have a feeling that the JPC update only changes the product code of a device isn't XEU or KOR already... I'm not entirely sure, but when I flashed to JPC with O2U it changed my product code to KOR... when I flashed to JPC after using the method below it now registers as an XEU. I don't know if flashing after this fix is necessary (it may be needed to re-write csc files?!?)
Please appreciate that I am not a developer, but a tinkerer! I used adb rather than EStrongs... but have written these instructions to use estrongs for the ease of those who aren't familiar with shell commands.
You will need:
Root Access to your Phone
a Hex Editor (there are a few free ones on download.com)
Estrongs File Explorer (from Google Marketplace, cause it has root access and means you won't need to use terminal (hopefully))
Instructions:
1a) in Estrong, go to settings and enable both root options
1b) Use Estrongs to navigate to the /efs/ folder on your phone.
2) Copy "nv_data.bin" and then paste it to your sdcard.
3) Mount your device to a computer and then make a copy of "nv_data.bin" and rename it to "nv_data.bin.bak" and leave that un edited on your sdcard (that way you have a contingency to return to should everything go wrong!).
4) Open "nv_data.bin" with your hex editor and use the find command to locate any occurance of 'KOR' in the file.
5) Replace each occurrence of KOR with the code your choice, be it ORA, XEU, O2U, etc.
DO NOT ADD ANY EXTRA CHARACTERS AS THIS MAY RENDER THE FILE UNUSABLE BY THE ANDROID SYSTEM
6) Save the file and then unmount your phone.
7) Use Estrongs to copy the "nv_data.bin" from your sdcard back to the efs folder overwriting the old "nv_data.bin" file
8) Reboot the phone (push and hold the power button for 10 seconds or yank the battery your choice!!!)
9) Hook up to Kies and check the registry entry to make sure it worked! )
Hope that helps.
