Easy Way To Hack Your Nokia Or Sony Ericsson Symbian Phone Without Flashing

I wrote a post on permanent hacking for symbian phones some weeks back but some complained the method is quite complex and the process was just too risky and complicated. Also it worked only on Nokia phones only and you definitely need a PC to do it. The method I'll be posting today is quite easy and you can hack your symbian Nokia or Sony Ericsson phone without a computer, a developer key and certificate. The method was tested on Nokia C-7, Nokia N8, Sony Ericsson Vivaz, Satio and a host of other symbian phones ranging from symbian ^3, symbian anna, symbian s60v5 and s60v3. Now it's possible to hack your symbian phone without a necessarily flashing the phone.

You can't fully utilize the power of your Symbian smartphone if the phone isn't hacked yet. Hacking your phone allows you to install unsigned applications and applicatios with expired certificates. You can easily bypass installation error messages such as "certificate error," "certificate expired" and so on.

Unlike the method I posted earlier, you have to perform this symbian hack on your mobile phone and ther's absolutely no need for a computer. First download these files:

UMUNokiaHack.sisx
UMUNokiaHack.sisx

UMUSonyEricssonHack.sisx
UMUSonyEricssonHack.sisx

RomPatcherPlus_3.1.sisx

RomPatcherPlus_3.1.sisx

InstallServers_Pack.Zip
InstallServers_Pack.zip

X-plore_s60_3rd_1_53.sisx
x-plore_s60_3rd_1_53.sisx

1. Depending on whether you're using a Nokia or Sony ericsson symbian phone, download UMUNokiaHack or UMUSonyEricsson Hack and install. Launch the application

2. Select your desired connection. Here you can select wi-fi or your default access point

3. Accept the trial key and accept the trial license too

4. Select Yes

5. Next, select No, then OK

6. Select OK and press 123. Now re-type 123 once more

7. Choose Options and click on Antivirus

8. Go to Quarantine

9. Press Options > Restore > Yes

10. Click Back, Home, then Exit and uninstall UMU Mobile Security immediately.

11. Enter 123 when prompted.

12. Now install RomPatcherPlus_3.1.sisx

14. Launch it and apply Open4All. This gives you access to all folders including system folders

15. Apply Installserver. Now you can install all unsigned applications.

NOTE: If you see something like a red cross, then you still have one more thing to do. There's a link to installservers pack earlier in this post and this is where to use it.

To know which installserver to use, you need to know your phone's operating system. Go to www.gsmarena.com and run a search for your phone to know the operating system and other details. Below is just an overview of what the installservers pack contain and corresponding phones they work for.

by swmail:

installserver91: for E60, E61i, E62, E65, E70, N71, N73, N75, N77, N80, N91, N91, N92(Symbian 9.1)
installserver92: for E51, E90, N76, N81, N81 8GB, N82, N93, N93i, N95, N95-2, 6290, 5700, 6120, 6110, i520, i550, i400, i450, i560, G810, N78, N96, 6220(Symbian 9.2, 9.3)
installserver3250: for 3250
installserver5500: for 5500
installservere50: for E50
installservere61: for Е61 or 3250 (if first file wont work only)

by PNHT:
installserver934: for newest 9.3 and all 9.4 models

by CODeRUS:
installserverS3: for all Symbian^3 (and Symbian Anna, Symbian Belle)


* Check the installsever compatible with your phone

* With X-plore or any other file manager you have, copy the installserver to to C:\sys\bin

* There's no need to apply installserver patch in RomPatcher and your phone is now hacked.

This hack works on symbian Anna, symbian ^3, symbian s60v5 and probably s60v3. It works on Sony Ericsson Vivaz as well and I've read reports that it also works on Satio too.

All credits to Coderus for sharing this easy approach to symbian hacking.

How to Use Your Mobile Phone as Webcam

If you happen to be stuck with a personal computer with no webcam and wish to have video chat with your friends on Skype and MSN every once in a while, then this application is just for you. Smartcam turns your mobile phone to a webcam easily. It doesn't matter whether all you have is a nokia or sony ericsson java phone, a symbian third edition phone or a smartphone running on Android OS. You need to install the Windows executable file on your computer and the install the other application on your phone. You need to select the one compatible with your phone operating system.

In the symbian app, there are three connection types:

* Bluetooth
* USB Cable
* WiFi

I've only actually tried the bluetooth connection and it worked perfectly well.

The J2ME App only has bluetooth as the only available connection type.
I haven't tested the webcam application with any Android smartphone but I guess it should work too.

To turn your phone to a webcam, follow the steps below:

1. Run the .exe file on your pc and then run .sis, .jar or .apk file on your mobile phone.

Download the PC software
Download SmartCam.exe From Capriofiles
Download SmartCam.exe From Hotfile


Download a compatible version for your phone operating system

Download SmartCam for s60V3 from Capriofiles
Download SmartCam for s60V3 from Hotfile


Download SmartCam for J2ME (Jave phones) from Capriofiles
Download SmartCam for J2ME (Jave phones) from Hotfile


Download SmartCam for Android from Capriofiles
Download SmartCam for Android from Hotfile




2. Now connect your mobile to pc using Bluetooth.
You might as well try other connection modes but as WiFi works on a friend's Nokia 5800

3. Run the Smartcam program from the desktop.

4. Open Smartcam in your cell phone as well.

5. Now you're running the application both on your phone and pc, you will have to pair your mobile to your pc with the bluetooth as a meddium of connection.

6. On the PC program, go to File > Settings and select bluetooth as your mode of connection.



7. In your cell phone select connect and choose the computer device.



8. If you've successfully paired your phone with the computer, you’ll see through cell phone’s camera in your computer.

9. Just run your IM application and the smartcam program will be detected as a webcam.
