When I try to Format FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed

[asmode]

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 ?

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.

ehheheh

the using resco to run is one different thing i did not do

[RiverDance]

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.

[rhmartin]

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....:confused:

Can you attach the 'Repart_doc.exe' file...
I can't get my device formated....:confused:
its located here: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/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 (http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/107482/BA-DT-ITA-14004-153-11200-Ship-rar.html), 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 :D

all files needed are picked from this thread (except for rom and resco explorer)

[hwpeter]

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
