Trying to Arabize WM2005 on BA

After succesful upgrading to WM2005, I tried to install the 2 arabic files extracted from EXT ROM (which I think are responsible for Arabizing) "Default_AACERT_arabizer.CAB" and "Default_ACERT2_arabizer.CAB". After installation and softresetting, the device acts wierdly, and.... There is NO Possible Way to get it running again without getting into "Bootloader Mode". Did any one manage to do that? and I couldn't get into the xetended ROM of WM2005....did any one succeed?

you cannot use any existing localization packs on WM5

well it workedfor me on himalaya

Dear friends,
I tried my self also...but all in vein....that was 1st reason to downgrade to Win2003 SE...
I wrote an email to imaginet one month ago, they replied " we are trying hard to upgrade and soon you will have an upgrade"...I don’t know what it means by soon...months or years???????????....since they never upgrade after 2003... :twisted: :evil:

i will attach 2 options for arabizing... people managed to get them working... i didnt know however (still new at these things) so if are able to enable any of them please tell me how

file 2 (updated arabizer ripped from jasjar) i even tried installing the first then updating with this...
i tried everything
i cant seem to get it to work, while others have and are not willing to show me the way
i cant upload it cause its too big even after partitioning
so i will try from a different place cause i cant use ftp here

Check this link. There's a detailed explanation on how to do it. However, some claim that it didn't work for them. Good luck.

Can you explain what is "nothing"? I did it my self last night and it worked. The only drawback is there is no Arabic keyboard. However, they clain that if install that dictionary..it works. I'll have to try it.

Arabizing is possible with wm5 and blue angel
I can arabize my xda iis with the following programs in wm5 (maimach patched rom) if you use the standard rom it locks the blue angel...you must extract this paste the nb file to ph20b if you have xda iis, if u have a siemens it is the other folder..reflash the rom:
imaginet Dictionary working
Imaginet reader working
Arabizer 1.3 working and stable
sidenote:
imaginet handwriting reader working well in 2003se. Works in 2005 however when the mobile goes into standby mode if unused say for 5 minutes pressing the power button will not open the blacklight, only a reset resolves this. In the end this is the only one i have not got working yet.
Finally, make backups every step of way with a program like sunnysoft 3.3 or above, unlike sprite this is compatable with wm5.

Dear friends, I am still trying to install properly arabizer on wm05.
I couldn’t install Arabic –English dictionary and prayer timings.
If you install above mentioned files without AR-Eng dictionary, Arabic key board will not install, but if you get file from following link, named “United Arabic Cab.rar, its worked fine for me and I was able to get Arabic key board without installing ar-eng dictionary. hoping it will be helpfull for you.

HELP!!"FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" met.

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 %&$§/%(/ 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.
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.

wm5 downgrade.

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 I see that you have a G4. Lokiwiz is a waste of your time since you have a G4.
Here is what you need to do:
Because you have a G4, you can't just flash a rom because of the DOC chip.
There are 3 ways I know of to flash a G4.
1. Download shelltools - install enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab and reboot your device. connect with activesync and place the nk.nbf file of the rom of your choice in the shelltools directory and run shelltools and follow the directions in the readme. If you do it correctly, you will end up successfully flashing your device.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
2. Download SoftSPL and place the nk.nbf file of your choice in the RUU folder included and run SoftSPL and it is fully automated. It will call the RUU and your device will be flashed in about 7 minutes.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
3. Use the HardSPL(CID UNLOCK) and unlock your device prior to flashing. This will allow you to just flash roms at your leisure with no problems whatsoever from now on BUT it is still in developement so use at your own risk.

Yes, please.... speed it up for me. if there are any other applications (add ons) that you feel should be added to the nbf file then please add them.
i have already shared the nbf file with many guys at work. we would be grateful if you can assist.
one last thing, i noticed that there is a 3G icon under the comms manager. one of the guys said that we should not have any issues accessing 3G even if the phone didnt come with it. is it possible to use 3G on these phones?

Just Upgrade Blueangel but cannot install msn - Live.cab

just upgrade my old mdaIII (blue angel) to WM6 (HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public)
all works good and was simple. also installed the extra .cab files (http://rapidshare.com/files/52455560/cabs.rar) but the LIVE.CAB does not install.
any idea how where i can get the working .cab file or get to install or work this. as i really need msn messenger.
thanks.

Did you check your device space.
Even if you install on SD, lots of files will go in the Windows directory.
You will need at least 3MB free space.

windows live messenger has to go on the device storage or else it wont work, do this and it should work like a charm.

upgrade even more...
Its an old and buggy rom... I think is the better to upgrade for the first time... Helmi has made a great rom that time i tink the first release of wm6 here...
But is buggy and old upgrade the the new 6.5 or 6.1 builds... you will never have issues at installing programs.
