Where to get ms_.nbf?

[backscratcher]

I've got hold of the OS_ROM (NK.nbf) and the RADIO_ROM (Radio_.nbf). But I can't seem to find out where to get the ms_.nbf file.

Please help a newbie like me. :cry:

hi
ms_.nbf is the extended rom file....it's not a must on ur PDA so u can live without it....
if u only upgrade nk.nbf(ROM image),and radio_.nbf(radio=phone),then ur old ms_.nbf(ex rom) will stay untouched....IF IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE OS :wink:
now if ur upgrading from an 2003 original ROM to magneto,then u will not see old EXT ROM,this is why u will never need old one on magneto,so u just empty it before upgrading...
the EXT ROM is customised to fit ur needs,example:
if ur an i mate original ROM user,and u have the i mate ROM untouched before,then u wil see additional softwares is ur PDA related to i mate..etc
if ur an i mate user in an arabic country,then ur untouched ROM will hold arabic applications like language and dictionary etc.
if ur an "advanced"(not too advanced) user,u can cook ur own EXT ROMs,so they can fit ur needs by putting ur favorite softwares that will be run automatically after hard reset.
plz note that ur extended rom softwares r installed on the EXTENDED ROM chip wich is part of ur ROM chip,but invisible.it can be unlocked by the ext.rom unlocker software developped by the guys of this site(thanx guys :D ).
now if ur willing to find an EXT ROM badly,ur gonna search the ftp server by doing the following:
1-log on as user:xda,pass:xda
2-go to wiki page wich is on the top left of ur page
3-go to ftp...and then to ftp root
u will find several ext rom file wich all r ms_.nbf
now if u want my advice,install EXT ROM developped by xda2jojo and toenailed with sin merged.....(thanx a lot guys.....ur GR888888888 :D ....though am not using it anymore coz am running BUZZMOBILE on ma MDA2....oh thanx buzz....ur my idol :D )
am sorry i cannot attach the EXT ROM i was talking about(coz of my connection speed...it sucks,and the file is too large,but i've already guided u to where u can find it :wink:
one more thing:the guys ms_.nbf is too large(usually ms_.nbf is 16 mb,this 1 is 32 mb,notice that the guys did it smart,it was impossible before there idea,so thanx again guys :wink: ),so it will take a lot of space in ur storage memory,but it worth....
hope i've helped u somehow...good luck :D

Hello RAGOv, you mentioned the imate ppc arabic... well actually I'm here in Riyadh Saudi Arabia now and I'm try to upgrade my Imate PDA2 to WM2005, the problem is when I use himagetdevicedata and look at the devicedata.txt, my operator is not showing. The only thing that's showing in my devicedata.txt is this:

U S B 6 4 1 . 1 1 . 0 0 W W E 1 . 1 1 . 1 5 3 W W E 1 . 0 3 . 0 0

so i don't know which operator to use... maybe you know the operator ID here in Saudi Arabi, can you please help me out... my cell network provider here is STC Saudi Arabia. Thanks in advance!

hi my friend xcela,kif al Riyadh :D
1st of all ur imate PDA2 device is not a himalaya device,it's an Alpine,so u cannot upgrade it to magneto or WM2005,sorry to tell u that :cry:
second,ur device data that u have got using HIMAgetdevicedata.exe(although this file is designed for himalaya devices but it looks that it worked on PDA2 :? despite the operator id)means the following:
ROM version: 1.11.00WWE
radio version: 1.11.153
language: WWE
extended ROM: 1.03.00
and of course because ur device is original imate so the operator is: CDL

so my friend,just a little advice,don't mess up with ur phone trying to install magneto on it,cause there's no magneto ROM YET for alpine devices,and if there will be,then u will surely find them in this site...

hope i've helped.....
greetings bro :)
