Access UIQ3 private folders…even on c: drive!
Seems like someone finally figured a way!
Step 1.
download all the usefull software.
1. SE pc suite
2. apptrk.sis
3. python-2.5.1
4. win32-py2.5
5. pyserial-2.2.win32
6. 1.py (copy 1.py to c:\)
(get 3-6 here )
Step 2.
Install all the software.
AppTRK.sis on your phone .The others on PC by order in default
Step 3.
COM port
Run pc suite——USB with your phone——Phone model
My computer——attribute ——hardware——Device Manager——com and LPT
You will say “SE M600 appliction port (com6),se pc connect port (com7)
memory it.
Step 4.
Edit the file 1.py
Open it with notebook .
Find the trip ” ser = serial.Serial(4) # I have COM5″
You can use the “ctrl +F” order.
Then change 4 to 5,change 5 to 6.
Save it.
Step 5.
Run AppTRK.sis
PC suite——USB with your phone ——run AppTRK.sis——show connceted
If not ,change the port 2 to 1.
Step 6.
CMD and success
win+R——CMD——enter——run 1.py
After a few seconds,it will show”>close ,>End+Exit”, you have succed.
Step 7.
Try it
CLOSE ALL.
open x-plore or swissmanagerpro
open the private folder c:\ or d:\
[thanks to pgg19]
sound great !! let me try it tmw, thanks again!!
this seems huge…
Edit: tested and confirmed…i just had to change some things, because my COM ports are 7 and 8, so in step 4 i changed 4 to 6 and 5 to 7, and now it all works - the folders that i once could not open on swiss manager, now can be opened!!!
why would you want to?
Some examples: walkman player from w960 can now be ported to p1, you will be able to change all the icons and folders, profile apps might be done, etc, etc
Well, I understand that people may be happy now to get a way around some limits that Symbian and UIQ3 imposed on them until now. But on the other hand this is also a development that is a little scary: It seems to me that finally Symbian phones got the attention of hackers whereas until now, for a long time, those hackers played elsewhere, e.g. hacking the iPhone.
So, today some “nice” hackers bring you a way to look into private folders. But what will not-so-nice hackers bring you tomorrow?
I think this “AppTRK” thing that people now happily install onto their phones is a general-purpose driver that can be instructed to do many other things beside making private folders accessible. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want something like that on my phone.
Until now all Symbian so-called “malware” has been a joke and only hyped to death by security software companies. But if Symbian now really is in the spotlight of hackers, I think we will soon see the first *real* Symbian malware.
yes. it work… cool !!! not that hard as I think, success to crack my p1i + m600 too
Fair points René, there are risks…but this can only be done by people that are commited and knowing what they are getting into…this is not for the general public…
And if SE/UIQ wants to close this hole, then, why not…but GIVE US new features in the new firmware updates…give us profiles…give us opera mobile 9…give us the pannels interface of the G series, etc…that way there won´t be reasons to try this stuff…
Otherwise, i am excited about this…imagine customizing all the phone content…not just some few icons…
Yeah, ares, life in general is risky
In the meantime I checked the Symbian-Freak forum thread that is the original source of the hack, and saw that indeed AppTRK is quite a powerful piece of software. It does nothing on its own, but it can be instructed to do a lot of things.
Not a big risk alright, but better let people know. And in my opinion AppTRK is certainly something to de-install if no longer needed, and not to be left hanging around on the phone for nothing.
It can be instructed to remove symbian signed restrictions it seems
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/27/symbian-9-2-hacked-to-bypass-app-certification/
im thru the same issue that you ares. my ports are:
se p990 application port (com8)
se pc-connect port (com9)
so i changed the line to this:
ser = serial.Serial(7) # I have COM8
but no help!
when i type: 1.py i get:
COM8
>Ping
Sending message number 00
all’s sorted. i just changed from port 2 to 1 and backwards
I want the walkman player from W960i on my P1i ares.
Getting rid of signing would also be amazing.
Things are certainly looking up.
That is my post!.
I post it on se.it168.com
Now it was posted here.
hey this is huge!!! Good job!!! Do away all those nasty restrictions by symbian. Please someone make it bypass app certification for UIQ3 phones!
Great Work!
I need to clarify that I am completelly agree with ares’s point of view in his first post!

Hi, can anyone link me the symbian-freak forum that is in conneciton with this and with uiq3 devices? I got only a 49page long topic..
Well, you get 49 pages because that topic (the right one) really is 49 pages long. They have been busy, those brave hackers, you know. I think it gets interesting from around page 28 or so.
No more patience, the young people of today
how to show Z Drive in My pc?
Isn’t this AppTRK related to the tool from Mokia, that allows on-device debugging on Symbian Devices (which is why it’s so powerfull and can access otherwise resrticted areas)?
If I’m right it’s quite ironic that a security issue on UIQ is caused by Nokia, hehe.
I work now on port Walkman 3.0 from W960 to P1, you can check a state on http://se-tuning.cz/
I hope people will also take the FC mode of P990 into account.
KRtek, many thanks man!!! Keep me updated at aresATuiqblog.com!!!
At smart-se.ru they are creating a special section on the forums just to these kind of things
Hi Ares,would you link me those smart-se.ru’s threads?
thanks
Balinov
wow… it’s a good news. Hope I can ported Walkman Player to my P1i. So my phone more perfect, Walkman+Qwerty, Great!
btw, can i, post this article in my blog? and exchange link with your blog?
Hola! I want To be able To change The images and Sounds of beginning that they find in Z:\private\102030FD\ but I cannot write in Z. someone can help me? My telephone is one P990i
hey, i can’t do this on P1i, but i was able to acces the private folder from xplore, and i transfered the files but now nothing has changed! please help!!
People seem to go a little overboard, it seems. Just because file system protection on UIQ3 now has a big hole punched into it, of course you still can’t just write to FLASH memory. And drive Z: is just such FLASH memory, normally read-only.
No wonder, Neo Corvis, that you don’t succeed.
Despite of that…things look promising…imagine they figure how to make the system go find files on c: instead of z:
Payam, Neocorvis, if you want to see what can effectively be done so far, go here

Hehe I was right, when installing the .sis file you get:
Software name: trkapp
Version: 2.08(10)
Supplier:Nokia-EN
that’s a dirty trick from Nokia to kill UIQ
I managed to change my P990i media player skin to W950
And the virtual keyboard to those bigger ones on the P1i
Wow, this is getting very exciting now … yoohooo!
hi.i did all but i can’t understand what is (win+R——CMD——enter——run 1.py) please explain.
hey, i downloaded the “Walkman Pack By B.U.S.T.E.R” from the Gdesk site (http://gdesk.wetpaint.com/page/GDesk+designs) and i would like to install the walkman music player skin on my p1i, Can anyone tell me where do i have to place the files? c: or D: and how, because i tried and i had acces to C: with xplore by using this program but the skin didn’t work. Please help. thanks.
Does it work in FC mode?
Vasif, you have to acess line of comand on windows, that´s what it means. You first copy 1.py to the root of C: drive on your PC, then run 1.py from the command line…that´s it.
Reza, you need to apply the hack described above to have access to the protected folders
@Reza in the readme i’m writed where you have to put the files.
for the skin: C:/private/102030CD/default/
Thanks Reza I’ll try.
Hack can now be made “permanent”

I have already tried to change the port number from 2 to 1 but it didn’t help. Can somebody tell me what to do ?
to Chris,
check your comm port for SE Pc suite if they are 8 and 9 edit on the 1.py search for “ser =” and change 4 and 5 for 7 and 8.that it!
Can you speak mother ***ing english please?? “You will say “SE M600 appliction port”??? I will “say”?? Phone model?? What the f*** is Phone model?? Open it with “notebook” ??? You want to mean notepad?? PLZ I DONT WANT TO FIGURE OUT EVERY ***ING SENTENCE!!! Finally look at this sentence: “Then change 4 to 5,change 5 to 6.” So change 4 to 5 then the change that 5 to 6? NO ***ING SENCE!!! Good hack anyway
