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!!!

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.

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…

René Brunner
March 28th, 2008 @2:23 am  

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.

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.

March 29th, 2008 @10:21 pm  

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.

April 1st, 2008 @2:27 pm  

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.

ares
April 1st, 2008 @4:40 pm  

Despite of that…things look promising…imagine they figure how to make the system go find files on c: instead of z:

April 21st, 2008 @9:07 am  

THE STEPS ARE A BIT TPP TECHNICAL FOR ME, CAN YOU EXPLAIN A BIT FURTHER?..

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 )

>>SINCE YOU DON’T HAVE LINKS FOR THE OTHER SOFTWRARES, I NEED TO FIND THEM ALL BY MYSELF RIGHT?..

Step 2.
Install all the software.

AppTRK.sis on your phone .The others on PC by order in default

>>THIS STEP IS FINE.

Step 3.
COM port

Run pc suite——USB with your phone——Phone model
My computer——attribute ——hardware——Device Manager——com and LPT

>>I GOT THIS FIRST ONE.
>>I’M CONFUSED ON THIS PART: 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.

>>NOTEBOOK OR NOTEPAD? WHAT IS CTRL+F?

Step 5.
Run AppTRK.sis

>>RUN THE APPLICATION ON THE PHONE RIGHT?

PC suite——USB with your phone ——run AppTRK.sis——show connceted
If not ,change the port 2 to 1.

>>I DON’T GET THIS TOTALLY.

Step 6.
CMD and success

>>THIS ONE TOO.

win+R——CMD——enter——run 1.py
After a few seconds,it will show”>close ,>End+Exit”, you have succed.

>>STILL, I DON’T GET THIS.

Step 7.
Try it

CLOSE ALL.
open x-plore or swissmanagerpro
open the private folder c:\ or d:\

>>THIS IS THE END PART, BUT THE STEPS ON THE MIDDLE IS CONFUSING..

nipsen
May 19th, 2008 @9:15 pm  

Unless you install capsswitch, you need to run the hack from the pc after every boot.

In swmail’s Walkman3 archive, you need to paste the “system”, “private”, “resource” folders into the root of the c- drive. Not just dump the “c”-folder

If you’ve done this right, the walkman3 app will turn up on the “tools” folder in the main menu, like any other newly installed app. It won’t overwrite or replace the existing media- player. But the media- player that’s open will respond to play/pause, and so on, because it uses the same interfaces as the built- in one.

Try uninstalling the pc- suite, then installing any drivers and the the new version of the pc- suite again, for example.

It’s not possible to kill the phone and the rom- areas by installing this hack. You can only fuck up file- system content, such as pre- installed programs, pictures, directory structures, etc. Which can prevent the phone from booting (but not from being reflashed on SEUS (at least if SEUS is working, which isn’t always).

If the PC suite installation doesn’t complete (if that was the problem), check that you have the xp rpc service (or UPNP) enabled (i.e., go to “services”, or type “services.msc” in a run- dialog (start->run).

No worries that the phone won’t be detected in the pc- suite if it’s not booted up, and so on. Ok.. Then after you’ve installed SEUS. Unplug the phone. Start SEUS - it should go through the animation, and check for updates. (If it doesn’t complete, you need to install the flash- component for internet explorer, for the program on the pc - you can get that off the adobe- pages. here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ .. and start SEUS again).

When SEUS Then choose your phone in the menu, and follow the on- screen instructions. Grab a cup of coffee. Wait.

must i keep the phone off upon connecting it to the pc? will i just keep the memory stick on the phone?

nipsen
May 21st, 2008 @3:47 am  

Yeah. Doesn’t matter if the mem- stick is inserted. And when you get to the choose phone model->accept terms, accept terms again, accept, accept - then you’re ready to start the flash. And do like it says - take out the battery, insert the battery. Then hold the c- key, while you insert the cable. It should take some time, windows should detect a flash- memory device - then it should run the detect on the phone. And continue with the flash, if it’s successful. Then it’ll download the rom. Make sure you don’t rip out the cable when the rom is being flashed.

If it fails for some reason after the detect, it’s a SEUS problem. So try again later.

If it fails during the connect sequence - with the hold down the c- key, and so on - because you have to click “continue installing the drivers anyway”, and so on… go back to the start of SEUS, and try again.

nipsen
May 21st, 2008 @6:24 am  

You’d need the “Internet explorer” version. But only if SEUS fails to start, and so on.

How far do you get, btw, if you start SEUS now?

erickmen27
May 21st, 2008 @6:40 am  

nothin happen yet so far

nipsen
May 21st, 2008 @7:11 am  

Well.. Then try installing flash for IE first.

If that doesn’t work, open the services- menu, like I said (run->”services.msc”. And make sure the “COM+” components, the one saying “DCOM server process”, and the two “Remote procedure call” lines are running.

If that doesn’t work, go to sleep :p

good morning sir! to all the guru guys who stayed and helped me throughout this problem i encountered with my p990i. i salute you! im all hands up.. i had a grueling sleepless night after i encountered this problem of mine. truly you are the best and without a doubt guys like us can depend on you. i revived my phone!!! i will never forget this day. i really dont know how to thank you…THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT HELP!!!!

ares
May 21st, 2008 @5:08 pm  

Glad all went fine. You may make a statue in honor of guru Nipsen :p

Seriously…do not start this hacks thing again without READING every tutorial in a deep way. Also BACKUP all your data before doing anything.

erickmen27
May 21st, 2008 @5:59 pm  

so, is it safe to make this application again? and if i want to return to its original set up, can i still do it? is it like doing thingson reverse like from c:/ to d:/ ?

erickmen27
May 21st, 2008 @6:00 pm  

one more thing, what would be the reason why it turned out that way?

nipsen
May 21st, 2008 @7:33 pm  

Well.. the hack is harmless. It doesn’t do anything on it’s own, it just removes the limitations so programs can read and write to the file- system without a strong certificate to grant permission. So probably you overwrote something on the c- drive, or a program did it for you somehow.

So.. don’t leave the caps open except when you need it, and be careful when writing to the protected folders.

And yes, use the backup.

erickmen27
May 21st, 2008 @7:43 pm  

crystal clear sir!!!i will take note of that. im not afraid to get stuck with that situation again. i know now how to because of your advices

yeah! a big help indeed. i did hacked again ang installed correctly the walkman 2 on my p990i. but now i want to try the walkman 3. like the one for p1i. will it work on my phone?

asri
May 22nd, 2008 @8:02 pm  

@erickmen27

A BIG NO. You cant install walkman 3 hack on P990. It’s only for the P1i. Read the comments in this topic from the beginning and you will understand.

Cheers!

Brilliant hack guys! My ports were a bit different and it actually worked without modifying the 1.py. M600i is a great phone, but I always want to tinker under the hood of any machine I own. Thanks also to dark_skeleton for Walkman!

Nikola
May 31st, 2008 @9:45 pm  

Guys, does any1 have same problem like me :((((( anyway, i tried to install some stupid theme on my P1, and when he finished something, and restarted he just keep restarting, i cant start it now, :((( what to do, plz help….. I just whant to save my contacts somehow… HELP :((((

nipsen
June 1st, 2008 @7:19 pm  

@Nikola: that sucks. The theme files include code that’s executed, and it’s possible to hang the phone by changing the format of the intro- sound, or if the intro file is missing, or some “patch” for the theme doesn’t exist, etc. It’s programmed like any other mobile phone in that respect - not very robust. ..Not much help, but be sure to backup your contacts and so on regularly (on the mem- card, via the in- built menu, for example).

Step 1 - Done.

Step 2 - Done.

Step 3 - My Application Port is COM 4
My Connect Port is COM 5

Step 4 - Opened it with Notepad
Then changed 4 to 5, changed 5 to 6. Do I have to play with numbers here?
Though according to Step 5, when i run AppTRK it does show “connected”

Step 5 - Done, shows connected.

Step 6 - This is where Am Stuck. From where should i run the 1.py. From the already connected phone
or from the Hard disk, or should i run in DOS command? Secondly, which 1.py should i run the edited or non-edited?

Step 7 - Close all on PC or on P1i(my phone). Should i reboot or not?

nipsen
June 2nd, 2008 @7:21 pm  

The python script is a simulation of the interface codewarrior would use to communicate with apptrk. Run it from the computer. If it completes, the hack is done. If you reboot, the phone is back to normal (the hack just changes some running memory).

kalmdave
June 2nd, 2008 @7:44 pm  

@nipsen

Thanks for your quick reply. am not able to achieve this particular message according to the “pgg19″ guide

“After a few seconds,it will show”>close ,>End+Exit”, you have succed.”

I hope there’s no probs with my ports.

nipsen
June 3rd, 2008 @12:12 am  

Well, if you check in the device manager while you’re connected with the phone (in phone mode), you should see the ports you have on the system. Then put that number minus one, in the script in the line you’re supposed to. If you’re connected properly, have apptrk on the phone running, and so on, it’ll work.

kalmdave
June 3rd, 2008 @12:59 pm  

@ nipsen

Absolutely fantastic, this is what i wish that any guide to modd should include, there’s lot of trial and error while following ppg19’s guide. But the “minus one..” thing is the KEY to cut confusion, thanks. No offence meant, am just another noob catching up with pro’s.

June 12th, 2008 @4:14 am  

Tried is on my 2 weeks old SE G900.. the python script ended with:
>Ack Notify Stopped
sending message number 02
>Disconnect
sending message number 08
Close
>End+Exit

AppTRK does not show *anything* in the display, the “More” menu suggests that it’s connected though, since it gives me the option to disconnect.

so where do i find the c and z drives then? the file manager on the phone isn’t showing anything new, neighter is the pc suite file manager?

cheers

Hello , try to reboot your phone ;
If it ’s the same thing , make a “master reset ” on C drive format .

Why don’t you used CAPSWITCH after to open the C:/ memory ?
See on my blog in french , the part A of the tuto “walkman V3″
(NB : the walman V3 is not for the P990i ) clic on my username .

erickmen27
June 21st, 2008 @8:05 am  

i did that around 4 times before and just recently update my phone’s firmware at SEUS. now im trying to do this walkman buster on my phone using the same steps i got from here, but everytime i try to run the python just like what ive said on the my msg above, its not connecting

erickmen27
June 21st, 2008 @11:32 pm  

my problem is regarding this serial(8) and COM(9). these are the number i used before and i successfully hacked the private folders. and now im trying it again using the same port and when i run the python, unsuccessful. ive tried several numbers but still unsuccessful

June 22nd, 2008 @5:11 am

Try with an others PC : windows XP pack2
- Before ,master reset on C (phone memory )
- Install PC Suite VERSION 1.4.4 (not others )
- Close all others programmes on your PC .
- Don’t make back up ; just synchronise .
- Run also m-Router .
good luck .

Seems to me that the “opening” of UIQ3 really was sort of a Pandora’s box: Out came not only joy and new possibilities, but also numerous people asking, begging, crying, shouting for help because something went wrong with the vivisection of their phone, and now they are in deep trouble…

And let’s be very clear about who is to blame for everything that goes wrong. Well, SE and UIQ of course…

erickmen27
June 23rd, 2008 @11:44 pm  

its because they dont read the read me file that there’s a risk. just follow all the instructions and be guided accordingly, you will not end up dead phone. with regards to dead set after installing this, just reflash your phone and re-update it. it will work. this software will not affect in whatsoever to make your phone damage, nevertheles, installation without being guided by the instruction, its a risk you will take
