is there any way of getting the cab files from the exteneded rom without upgrading it?
running imate 172---------want the orange uk exteneded rom files.
tried upgrading or down grading but getting error country code
You mean to update the ExtROM without flashing?
use the ExtROMTools (as found on this forum)
It allows to unhide & unlock the ExtROM. When undidden & unlocked you simply change its contents. After locking it you simply hard-reset to see the miracle take place . . .
hi
ive dun that'but can not up or down grade my xda2.
And i want the new orange exteneded rom file without upgrading is there anyway of getting them out of the updates files(nbf files)without flashing it?
Just want to upgrade my exteneded rom---but i need the uk orange rom files
With er2003edit (to be found on this forum) you can open the ms_.nbf (the upgrade file that contains the extende ROM).
(remember: do choose the type of romfile. The password of the file is 0x20040305 (enter when asked))
Then you just extract the contents from there to any folder on your pc. from tere on you can manage yourself (using extROMTools)
hi again tried that just get a error message
Looks like you did NOT chose the rom type in the last combo-box of the file-open dialog.
The ER2003Edit autodetect feature DOES NOT WORK.
hi again
just tried it again and it does not give me the option ?
please help
when you select the file you want to open, in the file type selector you have "WIN2003 autodetect ROM (*.nbf)" enabled by default, but you can select in the list the OS, Radio or Extended ROM file type.
Select the one you are using and do not let autodetect, as edsub says it does not work well.
Also, use the correct password, probably 0x20040305 for the ms_NBF file
If you choose File / open ROM Image
You get the attached window.
In the indicated combo-box (see red elipse) make sure to choose "WM2003 Extended ROM".
Then select the correct ms_.nbf
If asked enter the password / key.
thank you
got there in the end
Which software that open the password for the following ROM's ?
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
Radio_.nbf
:arrow: Please, if someone has that software I need it.
Regards,
What device are you using?
what do you need?
the software which opens these files ? => ER2003EDIT
edited : wiki is now working again
it should be found here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit but due to a problem with wikiphp you'll have to use this link until it is solved http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index?ER2003Edit
the passwords ? => it depends where you got them from. lately these passwords are used : 0x20040304, 0x20040305 and 0x20040306 for the NK.nbf, ms_.nbf and Radio_.nbf files respectively
Thanks for all that reply to me,
My device is i-mate
I have this software ER2003edit
I extract this Ext. ROM by WINRAR software
RUU172810WWE_CDL_SKU2.exe
and i get this file ms_.nbf, I tried to open it with ER2003edit but failed to open.
it needs the password. I checked that password you gave me but actualy not for EXt. ROM.
I need the software that is giving me the password for MS_NBF ..etc ?
Best regards,

That's true we're not able to open this extended rom with the listed passwords on this forum can some1 check it out !?!?!?
Plus I need to upgrade to the WM2003 SE can't do it without knowing this password bcz I want to add files to it!!! plz help it's urgent.
I used the Extended rom unlocker and copied the files, what could it be the password for this extended rom to open it from er2003edit?
The passwords supplied DO work.
Now if anyone would SEARCH before ASK you would know that you have to select the TYPE of the ROM-file you want to open. The Auto-detect feature of ER2003Edit does not work.

Hi all,
I would like to change my pictures at start up on my XDAII, it has the latest Rom and Extended rom, which loaded without any hitch at all.
I would like to put my wee logo as the second flash well in the middle, is it possible and if so, is there an idiot guide from a to b to do it.
I have read the threads in other places but I need more help than just to download a file, anyone take the challenge of assisting the techno challenged members :roll:
cheers
TJ
In the 'genuine englisg SE'thread I posted two neutral splash screens for SE.
All you need now is
1. download that zip file & unzip.
2. get the upgrade files you used
3. donwload the ER2003Edit tool
4. get the ExtROM password to open the ms_.nbf (hint: its in dcs's thread on the SE rom
Steps:
1. Open the ms_.nbf from the upgrade package using ER2003Edit by (in the file-open dialog) choosing 'Extended ROM' as the file-type and 'ms_.nbf' as the file
2. Load the splash-screens (splash1.bmp & splash2.bmp) you want
3. SAVE
4. EXIT (discard any error message).
Run the upgrade again.
Note: Instead up downloading the Splash screens, you can also save them from any other ms_.nbf you may have (featuring ie. an O2, Qtek, imate or T-Mobile logo).
hi, i followed the steps... but when i try to open the extended rom with correct password, it prompted me 'Error Accessing Image file'.. can you tell me what happen?
You should choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)" in the file type.
1. Click File
2. Click Open
3. choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)"
4. Then enter the password for ExtROM
4.1. Password: 0x20040305
Help it works...
I have been reading the posts but I cant figure out how to install the EXT-ROMS. I downloaded the upgrade and the EXT-ROMS. I succesfully flashed the upgrade but am still confused about the EXT-ROMS. Also Where can I see the EXT-ROMS already on my device. I thank you in advance for your help.
Install...
After you unzip the upgrade files to specific folders, you'll see some files including NK.nbf and Radio_.nbf. Then you unzip the ExtROM file to another folder or same folder as before (this is recommended) and you'll files including ms_.nbf. Well, whatever you do just make sure that ms_.nbf file is inside the upgrade folder (together with NK.nbf and Radio_nbf). Then flash again your ROM by clicking HimaUpgradeUt.exe, follow the instructions and don't disconnect from the power. It is best you soft reset the handset before do this. I hope this will help
more help please
OK here in lies the problem. I downloaded HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR with the main upgrade files. There is no ms_.nbf file in the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR how do I either create or get one?
Search around the forum....
R u located in Asia? Cause, if u r then u can use ExtROM by Sin or ZeroXtreme. U can find the file in the forum, try to search by the Author Sin or ZeroXtreme. If you want to make one then use ER2003Edit_1_2_20 then add file that u only need. However, it is best to read the forum by Sin as he/she explain the guide step by step and tell u what the file for. The guide is easy to follow (according to me), happy hunting and try. Please be careful, if u don't really understand or know better to ask around first. U don't want to have an "expensive brick" rite?
NOTE
This is my first cooking, feel free to try it out.
Eventhough I've been testing it and the results are good, conditions still apply: Use this at your own risk :!:
Explanation
This version of ROM is basically a Sin.Merged.v2.0 ROM cooked with xda2jojo/toenailed's extended_rom compression method.
And the result is a fully automatic ROM upgrade which can be done within your XDA II, no PC needed (except when flashing).
The Difference
Sin.Merged.v2.0 :
- Manual ROM merging using ActiveSync (you need to use your PC).
- Extended_rom installed manually using either Sprite BackUp or run it one by one.
Xda2.HERY.mod :
- Automatic ROM merging (no PC needed) continued with automatic extended_rom installation.
- All done automatically following the hard reset after flashing.
Ingredients
ROM = Sin.Merged.v2.0.
Cab files = collected from Sin.Merged.v2.0's collection.
Extended_rom = compressed by xda2jojo/toenailed (using CrunchIt).
Methods
There are 3 ways to take you there.
No matter which method you choose, the end result will be the same.
Method A/B/C How To:
Download the Xda2.HERY.mod.A/B/C.exe
Flash your XDA II by running the downloaded file.
You'll be asked to perform a hard reset after that.
Soon xBackup will automatically start after a while.
Tap "Restore" tab, tick "All Data", open Storage (not Storage Card) and tap Start.
Then wait until it finished, and tap "YES" when it ask for a restart.
Then it will start installing automatically.
Don't bother with the debug pop-up window.
At the end, you'll be asked to choose your provider.
At this point, you HAVE TO choose one then tap "X".
Coz if you don't, it won't restart, and it will ruin the whole process.
If you don't, even another hard reset won't help since the config files in extended_rom has been changed.
Method A/B/C CAUTION :
Whatever you do, DO NOT tap or do anything during the whole process.
You are only allowed to tap "YES" or "OK" everytime.
During the process, NEVER tap anything unless you're asked to (including tapping the Start button).
Changes are made inside the extended_rom during the process.
After everything finish, I've created a file to reverse those changes back to its previous state (before the hard reset).
Therefore when you need to do another hard reset, the files inside extended_rom will be exactly the same as before.
So it is VERY IMPORTANT for you NOT TO interrupt the process except tapping "YES" or "OK" when it asked.
I have tested this method and the result is flawless, but always bear in mind: "Do this at your own risk".
Method A:
Xda2.HERY.mod.A.exe
Method A README.txt
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.
The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.
They will be automatically deleted after the process.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Open config2.txt.
- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the FIRST line, I repeat, ... FIRST line.
- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this in the first line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab
- Save and close the config2.txt.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a
folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).
You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.
Method B:
Xda2.HERY.mod.B.exe
Method B README.txt
There will be a short delay before xBackup showed up.
Just be patient because a quite large CompactFlashBackUpNew file is being extracted and copied to the Storage folder.
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.
The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.
Because everything has been backed up in a backup file (CompactFlashBackUpNew), which will be automatically deleted after
the process.
Eventhough there's plenty of free space to put extra cab files, with this method, you have to install the added cab files
manually from inside extended_rom.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Run it.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Method C:
Xda2.HERY.mod.C.exe
Method C README.txt
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll be abe to see all the installed cab files.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't have much free space left in your extended_rom.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Open config2.txt.
- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the line.
- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab
- Save and close the config2.txt.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a
folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).
You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.
Millions of Thanks to :
Sin for:
- the Backup.stg file of ROM 2.02.t1WWE.
- all the cab files.
- the genius discovery of merging between ROMs.
xda2ojo & toenailed for:
- the XdA2JoJo[1].v3.0.1t.cab file.
- the CrunchIt.exe file.
- the brilliant idea of compressing extended_rom files.
In conclusion, you guys are simply THE BEST !!!
using the xbackup... :lol:

Yes, Jojo, all three methods using xBackup.
But I believe you refer to method B.
For method B, the tricky part is, to make it all run in one step.
As we know, after a ROM flash, all will be back to standard.
I've already put the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the extended rom, which will be auto copied to the Storage folder, ready to be xBackup-ed.
After xBackup complete, you'll be asked to do a reset.
Then, where's the auto config part?
After the xBackup reset, you're suppose to MANUALLY go to Start, Programs, Communication, AutoConfig.
And to clear things up, you have to MANUALLY delete the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the Storage folder.
Plus for safety reason, just in case you accidentally change files in the extended rom, you have to Lock and Hide it, ... once again, ... MANUALLY.
Here's the tricky part, you don't have to do all those things manually.
Everything will be automatic following the hard reset after ROM flashing.
After the xBackup reset, you'll be brought automatically to the AutoConfig, which will bring you to another final reset.
After that, ... voila, you're done.
And the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the Storage folder will be automatically gone, plus your extended rom will also be automatically locked and hidden (you can always unlock or unhide it with the pre-installed Extended ROM Tools).
So no need for you to do step 2, 3, etc.
Only 1 step, and it'll take you to straight to the finish line.
So does the other methods, all in 1 step.
Can anybody tell me the passwords for these files? I want to use them on a german t-mobile device.
Thanks
Password?
What do you mean?
I didn't put any password.
Is it the password to open/run the file or to download the file?
The Password to change the country ID. I need a password if I want to change it in ER2003 Edit.
Or are there any other ways to do it?
Thanks Herry
For ur rom!!!
VIVA O2XDAID !!!
bravo hery go go go hihihi
Hopefully it works, Phreak.
Mengesankan herry.
Halo kepada teman saya di Bali.
Bagaimana membicarakannya benang merah ini menggunakan indo bahasa?
:wink:
Hey, I didn't know that you can speak Indonesian, Jojo.
If you find it hard to say it in indonesian, then just do it in english.
Surely most of indonesian gadgeters speaks english.

Sorry for the late reply.
Allow me to answer the Q's:
1. Actually the only thing that make this one feels like Indonesian ROM is the AutoConfig cab files, which consist 3 Indonesian provider.
For other countries have to search or find the suitable cab file(s).
The rest (other than AutoConfig stuff) are all universal use.
2. Nope, the same thing about JoJo's version is the cooking method (using the compressed ext_rom). It's more alike to Sin.Merged.v2.0's version.
3. The good feature in this ROM is the ability to do it all automatically.
Thank you, hope it explains.
See ya again, friend.
MMS setting for mentari subscriber

tks.
Hi there, flashed the rom on my XDA II using method C, was wondering if I got it correct. Whenever I soft reseted my PDA, there will be a prompt from PHM reset for me to reset the phone shortly after load up, as you can see it will be an endless loop if I did not choose "NO" when prompt to reset the phone on startup. Will like to know if this is normal ir did I do something wrong during the process.
Thanks in advance

Can you tell me what files you have in \Windows\StartUp?
Hery
What is the content of the file 'CompactFlashBackUpNew'?
Is it important
Did you actually notice a difference between merged and non-merged performance (with exactly same extended-rom)?

Yes, it is very important.
It contains all the extended ROM that listed in the other methods.
Like I said, all three methods ended up with same results.
Nope, I didn't try to put the extended ROM in merged and non-merged.
Since this already concluded by Mr. Sin that merged one is better than non-merged one, therefore I just use the merged one instead of the non-merged one.
Thanks.
