Did you managed to do that practically or this is on the level of idea?

If I understand correctly all that needs to be done is to change the settings within the swipolicy.ini file right? That way you can install any sisx file without having to worry about signing. There is absolutely no other way to change that setting than to flash your phone.

Anyone knows if this trick works on the Nokia N82 ?

Can you hack the mms message to get free too?
I am speaking of limitation of mid files, that files cannot added to the message they are protected by the system…
I am waiting this hack from years when i was using mms-it it’s a simple remedy but not working always..

Tom: Mainly because Z: is read only, nothing in that area can be changed on the phone.

Instead of hacking the firmware, why not simply edit this file on the device? It’s in z:\system\data\midp2\security\policy

I have to say Bobby (post #1), that the only security breeched FW(firmware) would be by the individual that was actually re-flashing the FW.

With that kind of paranoia, I assume you would not ever consider the purchase of an already used ‘phone, so you’ll never have an issue. In any case a re-flash of a 2nd hand ‘phone would be advisable anyway.

For me, if I could set my N95 myself then I would, and accept the consequences. If you wish to be told how your ‘phone is set and are happy to accept that then that’s fine, but don’t insist that others should be sheep too! Or maybe you have a self-interest in not allowing people freedom?

Bont3ks you have it a little wrong. The settings you mention allow one to install self signed applications. By default, the manufacturer (Nokia) set the policy file up so that everything has to be signed - be it with a self signed cert, a dev cert, or some other symbian or manufacturer approved certificate. Often the phone company will lock things down even further.

What one can set in the swipolicy.ini file is “AllowUnsigned = true” and “OcspEnabled = false” - these settings tell the phone not to check the certificate store at all. Pretty handy, but it does come with a downside. Unsigned applications that use Secure ID’s in the rage 0×2… (And more than a few signed apps) It’s not uncommon to see the message “Unable to install protected application from an untrusted supplier”

Thus far the only solution to this I’ve been able to come up with is to extract the exe’s and dll’s from the sis file, change the SID over to the 0xA range, recalculate the checksums, rebuild, then install.

It’s a bit of a tedious process, but it beats being held hostage to Symbian and Nokia.

From here it’s not a big jump to start messing with things directly on the phone itself. AllFiles and TCB equate to the type of ownership I expected straight from the outset.

I am surprised this hasn’t gotten far more attention in the usual seedy forums though.

It’s possible to install unsigned apps, I have several. By default, the S60 3rd comes ‘locked down’ in terms of the applications it wil accept.

You can get around this by going to ‘Tools | App manager | Options | Settings’:
- set ‘Software installation’ to “All”. and
- ‘Online certif check’ to “Off”.

You can now install any compatible Series 60 3rd edition programs whether they are signed or not.

Heh all OS are vurnelable on first level (firmware binary).

Symbian 6.1 on Siemens SX1 was the same, many great patches like processor overclock, C drive size increase, etc, were developed.

So thanks for first step, we are waiting for more.
