Nokia Symbian 3rd edition Tricks & downloads

So, here's the hacking alternative - proceed at your own risk. By replacing some strings, we can give equals permissions to untrusted applications with the manufacturer signed applications.

First, update your S60 phone normally using Software Update tool from Nokia. It downloads updates to your harddrive, storing binary images to

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Service Layer\A\nsl_service_module_00001\www.dsut.online.n okia.com.oti.caresuite\Products\

Directory contents look interesting and for my phone there is about 50 MB rom image there. Simple strings scan on rom image shows contents some fragments of text based java permission file, which by closer look very interesting (at around 0x2310000 in my case) :

Now, all you need to do is to open up your favourite hex editor and write "MaximumMode: Blanket" to permissions you want to allow, and if you feel risky you can change the DefaultMode as well.

Now re-run the software update, force re-runing and phone will be flashed with your new permissions. After installing midlet, you should see more permission options in the application manager (select midlet, click open)...

1) Go to
CODE
http://www.studyabroad.com/telcodes.html


2)Right cl!ck anywhere on the page and "Save Page As" (I use firefox)

3)copy the telcodes.html file and its folder to your phone E:\Documents for example.

4) using Xplore open the telcodes.html, to search the list press "1"
to go page up press : *
to go page down press : #

Hope its helpful ... Goodluck.

I have seen a problem with ?stuck? installer files in S60 3rd Edition phones for a couple of times. The information from Application Manager shows that the applications are not installed. However, they cannot be deleted because there is no Delete menu (see screenshot below). They cannot be re-installed either because it always fails with ?Unable to install? message. Those files are basically just stuck there.

From my opinion, it looks like a bug in S60 3rd Edition (not sure if this has been fixed in S60 3rd FP1). I don?t really know how to reproduce this problem, but it has happened to my phones several times. Once, I saw this problem after one application failed to install. In other occasions, I saw this problem after resetting my phone to the default factory settings.

What should we do if we have this kind of ?stuck? installer files in S60 3rd Edition? One way is to delete the installer file manually via Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, we cannot use any file manager application because those files are located in a protected folder.

* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won?t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\10202dce on the phone?s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the installer files (.sis). Just remove them using Windows Explorer.

You can also acess & even delete these file using phone just go to file manager

And use Search (find) the folder private
and in that go to the 10202DCE and delete the file which are not installing

A breakthrough for Symbian S60 3rd Edition
Solution for backing up and restoring Messages
I am very glad to inform you all, the MOST-WANTED solution for backing and restoring your messages from your memory card. By default in symbian S60 edition phones, when we store messages on memory card, it gets stored in system/mail folder.
The same thing happens on Symbian 3rd edition phones too, but only difference is that the mail folder is buried deep inside the private folder..
What you need to access it..
1) Connect your handset to pc in the ?Data transfer? (Mass storage) mode
2) Go to the Private folder on your memory card
3) Open the folders in sequential manner
4) Look for 1000484b (PARENT) folder or like that under which you will find Mail (Child) or mail2 folder, you are looking for.
5) Copy that (PARENT) folder to your PC

If you have hacked phone everything is even eaiser: just go to c:\private\ and back up entire 1000484b folder!

Using latest firmware of N73; You can also perform this trick on 5700, or other phones also
