Hey, everyone.
I've been having a great deal of problems with a situation I'm in:
I used to have a Nokia 9110 Communicator, but that was long ago. Time came for me to buy a newer model, so I got rid of the 9110. Before giving it away, I used the PC Suite for 9110 to transfer some files on the communicator to my computer, in hopes of finding some use out of them someday. The files waited patiently for use, and recently I got my hands on a Nokia 9210i. I had this fabulous ringtone, which I've wanted to use and be able to edit for other purposes too. The ringtone wasn't one of the originals on 9110; I composed it myself on the ringtone composer which can be found in the 9110's extras.
But yeah, here's the problem: I have the ringtone file on my computer, but the file has no sign of a format (windows does not recognize it as any kind of a file, it has nothing after it, like .000 or .rng, just the file name) and if I transfer it to the "Documents"-folder in my 9210i, it doesn't recognize the file either and refuses to play or open it. I opened the file in notepad and all it says is this:
"ÇEÁSTSP Bryhyy TROG Ì CMSR 1�t J:}QM@� Éå¡åä�QI= Õ>£HI(ÒE
4„‘B�$H£DI(ÑEŠ4Ä’ADA4B‰!&ƒˆIdAtA„B!$Ð]i
*ƒH2‚È"„šAtB
¡'Y4ƒHId ÙDˆƒ„ E"N È
€ØL $ "BL‘ˆ¢@0@IP"
- without the quotations.
So this is the situation: I don't have the old 9110 in use and I'd like to be able to convert the file so that I can use it, either on the computer or on the communicator. The best solution would enable me to listen it as a midi or something, is this possible?
thanks in advance, I'm really clueless with this one!

Try to add the .rng extension to the file.

That I've tried, but without any success. I've also tried to add several other extensions, such as .000, .321, .txt, .mid, etc. but none of them have made my 9210i to recognize the file.
Might there be something wrong with the folder I'm transferring the files into, as in, is there a special folder for any ringtones to put in?
sorry for inconvenience..

Yes I see. There is still GEOS header in the file. It must be removed and then the OTA part will create the RNG file.
If you are not familiar with hexeditors, some converter must be used. This can be done either with Data Mover for N9110 (but you don't have it anymore, right?), or by some other converter (Ringmaster for N92xx, etc.).
And the folder doesn't matter.

Hmm, yeah. As I am still quite the beginner in this area, I'll have to ask you to kindly clarify a few things for me.
First, the GEOS header.. which part would that be, as in, which part should I remove in a hexeditor? and after that, will I have to add the .rng-extension to the file, or will the OTA-part do that automatically?
And yeah, I don't have the 9110, and I'm not too familiar with hexeditors, though I think that I'll be able to handle things with that.
Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate it! (:
You need to remove first 256 bytes of the file. The rest is the ringtone OTA file. Use the suitable filesplitting application for PC.
What is the size of the original file?

404 bytes. I'll have to see what I can do..
//Hey, it works! This is great! Thank you so much! (:

OK, as it is less than 512 bytes, it will be easy.
Use e.g.
FileSplit.
Select the Split function (radio button).
Set "Size of Each Part=256 Bytes".
Browse, and Add your source file.
Click Start to split.
It will create three files. First part with the 001 extension (256 B) you can delete. Second part with extension 002 is what you need (148 B). Change its extension to RNG - this is your ringtone. Third part with extension FSI you can delete.
That's all.

Yeah, I managed to make the communicator recognize it. I have a working .rng-file, now I should be able to convert it into a midi. Any good ideas on a converter? I wasn't able to find any working links or programs..
