Hacking Symbian S60v3 Nokia Mobile phones

July 7, 2008 – 13:57

I recently got myself a Nokia N95-8GB and was very happy with it until i stumbled upon the problems of installing unsigned applications to my phone. I found out there are multiple solutions for self signing or getting your files signed by someone else but the following method worked for me and is in my opinion the best solution.

Files:

nokiasign 

Install notes:

  1. Install x-plore on your mobile phone, after doing this you have make hidden and systems files visible in the settings menu. You can do this by pressing “0″ or in the menu:
    x-plore show hidden files and system folders
  2. Go to the application manager (applications > app.mgr. > settings) and set software installation to “All” and set Online certificate Check to “Off”
  3. Go to the folder “rom-patcher” (in the nokiasign.rar archive) open the textfile: nokiadevicelist.txt, find your phone model and note what version of rom-patcher you need to install on your device.
  4. Install App TRK to your mobile phone.
  5. Connect your phone to your PC with the USB data cable and choose the PC-suite mode, but make sure Nokia PC-suite is not running on your pc!!
  6. By default App TRK starts in bluetooth mode, so enable USB mode in options > settings
    app trk 2app trk 3
  7. Find out on what port your device is connected to your PC (start > run > devmgmt.msc) or in your configurations panel > device list. In the example below it’s a Nokia N73 device running on COM4.
    device list
  8. Run rpinstaller.exe on your pc en fill out the COM port you found in the previous step. After this, hit install. If can’t find or don’t know your COM port, try 0 to 10. You should see something like this:
    rom patcher installer 
  9. rompatcher iconIf you didn’t see any errors there should be a new icon in your applications folder on your mobile device. Don’t start the application yet! First close rpinstaller, disconnect your mobile phone from your pc and reboot your phone. 
  10. Start Rompatcher on your mobile phone en select Disable Caps in the options menu. This is important to prevent further errors!
  11. Copy 00000001.rar to your mobile phone. Open Xplore find the 00000001.rar file and press ‘ok’ once to make sure your in the folder, then press ‘4‘. It should say: “copy marked to:” on the top of your screen. Navigate to ‘c:‘ and press the ok button. Now, if your prompted with an error telling you the device can’t create the folder then you forgot to Disable caps in rompatcher as mentioned in step 10.
  12. Navigate to c:\resource\swicertstore\dat\00000001 and press ‘6‘ & enable Read-only
  13. Install SignSis v1.03 Repacked.sisx on your mobile phone and copy the folder Leftup_CertKey to your mobile phone. This folder contains the certificates and keys which you need to use when selfsigning an application on your mobile phone.

Your now finished and ready to start signing applications on you mobile phone. To do this follow the steps:

  • Open Signsis on your mobile phone and choose the application or game you wish to sign.
  • Select the certificate and key in the Leftup_CertKey folder and choose sign.
  • You now have a signed version of the application in the same folder the original sis file was in. This signed version has an .sisx extension.

Good Luck!

  4. deepak, have you tried it multiple times? Have you checked if the program (or some other trk prog) is already on your mobile phone? Have you tried installing it from a different pc?

  6. men,
    looks very good the tutorial but i am having the same problem as Deepak! i Can’t install!!!! Step 4 doen’t work on n81

  7. Juan, I haven’t got a n-81 device here to test it myself. Therefore the only advice i’m able to give you is to google it. But since it returns the error: “unable to install. content built in” there might already be a TRK program installed on your phone by default. If so, you need to find how out how to us this.

  10. Nice job bro but I can’t install app trk it says can’t install built in component. Previously I had already hacked the phone(Nokia E65) but upgraded it to firmware ver 4 and since then cannot be hacked. What can be done bro cos without hacking the phone, its very empty and useless. you are the PRO, please do something.
    Thanks.
