1. You cannot reformat extROM without unhiding and unlocking it first. Follow the procedure step by step. (remeber aboutsoft reset
2. Correct links to both tools as well as the procedure you can find on Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi - Installation)
3. Report effects.
3b. Your english is OK :)

here i am...
followed tutorial step by step...
1. installed the unlocker
2. launched unhide
3. soft reset
4. launched unlock
5. system displays a windows named debug showin ERROR: press OK
6.another system window named debug showin FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION press ok
7. another window saying a peripheral connected to system in not working press ok
8. a debug window saying extrom unlocked
9. soft reset
10. launched repart_doc
11. error window saying "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" press ok

tried also without soft reset at point 9. same results..
i only see Ext_Rom in memory page of Setting but still remain full


------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally solved...
i don't know why but ita extrom can't be formatted...
so i used an escamotage... upgraded qtek9090 with this rom BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship
After used unlocker and repart_Doc and all goes on....
now go to upgrade to HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public

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, :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

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 ?

try it in this order...

1. downgrade to 2003

2. in WM2003 unlock... unhide... softreset

3. then repart_doc...

4. then upgrade to WM5/WM6


PS:
@Borbor...
hmm... i cannot see any part on your post that you tried to UNLOCK the extrom.
mastermoon DID. you need to unlock it first in order to modify it.
unhiding it just simply makes it visible to filemanagers.

Hiya

I'm not a braincracked one, I'm a computer software engineer and i write CNC machines programs, so i don't need to someone to teach me instructions !!!! i did all, but i got FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed. !

find me a good solution plz !

[SilverSamurai]

and i thought landmark's the only one who is bossy...

if you dont need instructions then what are you looking for in here??? duh!!!
you're both at the same level of intelligence... are we downgrading humans now?

P.S.
look at the end of the third post... that is solved.

Everybody is allowed to name themself software engineers nowadays? :P

Please people start behaving like grown up's we are no longer in kindergarten.

Please:
- listen to each other
- be prepared to be wrong
- try explaining your problem in another way
- but most of all don't try to solve your listening problems by yelling and cussing to each other.

TIA, Flar
