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.

So once again for the slow-minded: Me and my previous speakers did try this under (in fact several different) wm 2003, not wm5 or wm6. There is no ExtROM accessible in 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.
Reasonable comments, anyone?
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.

I have a question. I tried using the DOC tool to repartion my blue angel to the minumum size of 128 kb to prepare it for WM5 upgrading. When I flashed my device to 2k3se i get messages like "calendar flash" or "task flash" with YES and NO options. It's really weird. I readjusted the size of the extROM to 16000 kb but I'm not sure if this is the right setting.
Could anyone help me find the right amount of kb needed to repartition my ExtROM to it's original size? I suspect this is the cause of the strange messages after reflashing.

hey man my question is why do you want to use the ext_rom anyways? what are your actual needs for an ext_rom just curious
I am trying to downgrade to wm2k3se from wm5 so I need to know how to repartition it properly to accomodate the extrom that wm2k3se requires.

Hmm - don't forget that the formula is 16 x 1024 = 16384..
If you repartition to that figure and re-flash, you should be ok..

most likely u will, the manufacturer like O2 and others have their apps auto-install from extrom when u do hard reset.
you delete the ms_.nbf and it won't flash the extrom portion of your phone.. allows you to use a newer rom from another vendor and not have the branding and other settings associated with it
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
free 11.16
program
total 91.16
in use 23.29
free 67.87
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?

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.
Ok well no one seems to be replying to my question about dumping my orange rom so lets try this instead.
How would i go about saving my orange homescreen so i can put it back once i have upgraded my m700 to the dopod rom.
Or, am i being stupid coz im sort of thinking that maybe the orange customization that runs on first setup is in the ext rom which will stay behind on the upgrade and i will therefore get all my orange stuff still
????? dont really know
Please help i really wanna upgrade my rom but i keep backing out until i can get these things sorted.
thanks all.

In the extROM of GPS enabled ROM, I can see this file : PT_WA_Abaxia.CAB which is related to this Orange customization. But I think that some parts of this Today plug'in are embedded with the OS itself.

On my Dopod rom I'm using the orange customisation from the Hermes ,the cab is HERMES_RO_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB,and it's working quite well except for the speed dial.
I think that the abaxia cab our friend mentions in the previous post should do the job.

How big is this file ?
mine is around 100KB I think (I'm at work now, can't check how big it is exactly)
Hi everyone.
in my ext rom on my trinity i have the file PT_WA_Abaxia. I order to test whether my ext rom had the correct stuff i hard reset my hermes and installed my trininty ext rom but this didnt seem to install the homescreen. Saying that though it wouldnt let me run the autorun so i had to install the cabs individually.
The hermes homescreen is older than the trinity one. I have never been a big fan of the orange homescreen but the trinity one is quite nice. You can add vip contacts which show up straight in the homescreen rather than having to use the speeddial thing, the background pic changes depending on whether the phone is on silent, vidrate or ring. All in all a but nicer than the hermes one.
more testing
right on my hermes which was factory settings including all orange customization i tried installing the cab PT_WA_Abaxia. didnt seem to do a huge amount.
I then renamed the old DIL_APP folder and copied this folder from my trinity.
I also copied the DIL_PLUGIN.dll from the windows folder on my trinity onto my hermes. Then i soft reset and my trinity homescreen is now on my hermes and all works fine.
So now i need to know how to get my trinity homescreen onto my trinity without the original orange customization.
When i was playing with my hermes last night i tried not installing the orange customization as this then seemed to allow phonepad to work. I then tried the same steps as i did above and i could get the homescreen to show up in the list. Therefore i can only assume that i would need to run the hermes cab to install the original orange screen and then rename it and stuff like i did above.
So in summary, i would need to save the hermes homescreen cab, and the dil folder and the dll file of my trinity. Flash my trinity with the dopod rom. Install the hermes homescreen using the cab. Rename the folder and copy the trinity one across and copy the dll file into the windows folder and all should be done.
Anyone got a better way, while i go off and test my theory.

thanks for that, i saved it off the hermes. getting good at this unhiding my ext rom malarky.
anyway. i tested my plan and it worked on my hermes.
I hard reset
didnt do orange ext

renamed the dil folder and copied the trinity one in
copied the dll into the windows folder
and hey presto
porbably a bit of a long winded way but it worked.
Hi,
How are you sure Orange wont know yourve flashed the rom?
Also how do you prevent the orange customization after hard reset on the trinity?
Thanks
Warny
well this is the problem. If orange check then they will know we have flashed the rom. That is why i want to be able to re flash back to the orange rom if i need to.
Easiest way to stop the customization on any device is to soft reset just before it starts, when windows loads up the first time on it you will see a little window saying customization will start in 3 sec or something. Just soft reset then and the customization will not run.
So far though i havent found any real reason not to run it on the trinity though. If i dont run it on my hermes at least i can get phonepad to work but no such luck on the trinity.
just to clarify, this post

was testing that if we flashed to the dopod rom which has phonepad built in, this is how we could get our orange home screen back.
The second line about not doing the orange ext was really just proof of concept that the process would work even if we didnt have the ext rom installed.
I dont know whether we will loose the orange ext rom when we update to the dopod rom but this was proving that even if we do we can still get all the orange customization back again.

OK I was hoping it would allow phonepad. So if you flash back the original rom is there any way they can tell? How close are you to doing this on your trinity? Thanks, Warny
well if we could flash back to original then they would not be able to tell. The problem is is that there is not a dumped version of the original orange rom. Therefore if we flash to the dopod rom we have no way of going back to the orange rom unless someone dumps it for us.
Realisticly there is no reason not to flash the dopod rom because we shouldnt loose anything but we gain phonepad. I do worry a bit about the fact that i cant go back again.
if you wanted to send the phone back though then orange would see that the bootscreen had changed after you have flashed to the dopod and might not be too impressed, saying that. If we flash to the dopod and we get phonepad and all our orange stuff then why would we want to send the phone back.
Oh decisions decisions

Hi,
OK i see. It seems from your post about your hermes that it might be possible to make the phone *look* like it has the original rom? (sorry Im half asleep today).
Are you considering trying the process out on the trinity then? (ill wait for you if so lol)
Also it voids the warranty so if it broke it would be nice to reflash to orignal rom so they cant avoid fixing it dont you think?
Warny
Warny
Yeah thats what i mean.
I am very tempted i just keep bottling it.
You are right also about the warranty
If there was an orange rom available i would do it without a thought.

good thinking Warny, right i tried it and it appeared to work. I created a 128mb image. The big question is. Has it worked. We need someone to test my image. Or at least tell me how i can check it has worked and how er can create a rom from it.
Oh crap, just realised. Wrong phone. im using my hermes. god damn it.
Well it worked on that. I will try it on my Trinity but i need to go and get a mini sd card now.
Anyway still need the answers to above bits for when i make the trinity image

Perhaps you could get someone to install the customizaton from your trinity on their trinity+dopod. Then see if there is any noticable difference?

So I got my phone about 3 weeks ago well the low program memory kinda make it hard to do things I do on my mda so I was wondering is there anything I can do about this or is a different os a better choice? sorry im a ppc newb
xda is a great place to find things.
If you are referring to program memory, or RAM, then you should install the quick page pool changers. Generally 6 or 4 mb is used.
If you are referring to storage memory, you should probably flash another rom.
Wings/Heralds do not need to be cid unlocked, but rather can be flashed using what is referred to as "aserg's method"
When you download a rom, there is a .cab called Aserg policies.cab. Flash this to your wing, soft reset, and then click on 1_UPGRADE_ROM.bat. Follow the instructions from there.
Before you flash make sure to install a fresh ruu.
I'm assuming you know about RUUs and stuff from the MDA/Wizard.
THe best rom right now is the Touch-it for Wings 1.1
But the 2.0 version is coming soon (its already here for heralds), with even more delectable awesomeness.
I'm sorry I didn't go into details I'm speaking on both storage and program but program mostly, I am a newb for both mda and wing since I got both within a week for me and my bro if you could explain a little simpler I would appreciate it. I notice the original rom on the wing is buggy so I think a different rom would be better. how would I go about saving the original rom just in case? Thanks again I'm sorry if you guys get this a lot

I'm sorry I didn't go into details I'm speaking on both storage and program but program mostly, I am a newb for both mda and wing since I got both within a week for me and my bro if you could explain a little simpler I would appreciate it.

Since you have a Wing, I'd suggest trying the Touch It ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332789
Really read the entire process first, read it close and don't skip steps.
Before hand, run PIM Backup and copy the resulting file to your PC.
You can get that here:

I don't know much about the MDA, though.

xda is a great place to find things.
If you are referring to program memory, or RAM, then you should install the quick page pool changers. Generally 6 or 4 mb is used.
If you are referring to storage memory, you should probably flash another rom.
Wings/Heralds do not need to be cid unlocked, but rather can be flashed using what is referred to as "aserg's method"
When you download a rom, there is a .cab called Aserg policies.cab. Flash this to your wing, soft reset, and then click on 1_UPGRADE_ROM.bat. Follow the instructions from there.
Before you flash make sure to install a fresh ruu.
I'm assuming you know about RUUs and stuff from the MDA/Wizard.
THe best rom right now is the Touch-it for Wings 1.1
But the 2.0 version is coming soon (its already here for heralds), with even more delectable awesomeness.

fzzyrn - is there a reason why you feel TOUCH-IT is the best ROM? It will help if you can share / elaborate / educate. I have installed PDAVIET and it seems to work great as well but I am wondering what is the actual difference between the two besides the extra apps....
