If you have alreadyupgraded then you need to uninstall both the products and re-install old Nokia PC Suite again. You can upgrade to the newversion once you have completed the following procedure and hacked your phone A simplified tutorial on how to mod/hack your firmware. Cedits go to FCA00000, leftup & others for this brilliant hack Kindly note its essential that you hack your firmware for the first time using the computer. Also active python does not work on Windows vista well atleast the version that i have so XP is the way to go about it. credits to keshav. You will need certain softwares and a PC: 1. Download and Install ActivePython on your PC 2. Download and Install PySerial 3. The magic python script and TRK application a.) for Nokia (n95 ,n82,etc.) + AppTRK / (for n73, n80 etc) + AppTRK (Thanks to FCA00000) b.) for UIQ based (P1i , w960i etc.) (Thanks to swmail) 4.

Now if you see something like !!!!!!candidate!!!!!!! in the output window, or if you just saw the dos window and a few lines saying installing or sending etc, then..... congratulations now your phone is really yours!! 9. Now you can exit the AppTRK application. 10. Verify the hack with x-plore , see if you can explore c:/sys/ 11. Now if you will reboot the phone you will have to reactivatethe hack with above procedure OR to do it without PC do the following(Note: for the first time PC hack is needed) 12.a.)

Download this rar file containingthe certificate, the key and the authentication file for your phone.(Thanks to leftup of symbian freak) 2. Copy the file "00000001" to"C:\resource\swicertstore\dat\" onyour phone and mark the file read-only from X-Plore or other similar file explorer. If the given directories do not exist , create them 3. So now your own authentication system is installed on your phone. Now you need to sign your sis files with the given certificate and key in the rar file. 4. For signing sis files (pc based method)(works for allSymbian OS 9 phones) I) Download and install SignSis GUI on your PC II) Select the given certificate andkey(password is blank) given in 'the rar file you downloaded' III) Select the file you need to signand sign it and transfer it to your phone, install normally IV) Now you have the application installed with all its capabilities OR 5. Mobile based method(no need for a pc), works only for Nokia phones I) Download and install MobileSigner on your phone II) Open MobileSigner and select and sign the 'unsigned sis file' andMobileSigner will generate a signed sisx file in the same directory as the source file. III) Install the generated sisx file and application will be having all its capabilities. This is the simplest and easiest way and it worked for me in one shot. Enjoy I have personally tried it on my N82,N958gb and its working.
