Cracked by BiNPDA

Here this post is submitted in our forum by one of our member Waleed0785:

Based on personal experience and getting
tips from various forums on the Web, I present this list that may be useful for users of SymbianS60 phones N series (N95, N80, N73, N91, N93, N93i, .. etc. ).

>>>My phone is turned on or not on the home screen logo “Nokia” what I can do?

A common problem sometimes just because a problem occurred after installing an
application or by other circumstances, what is certain is that if there is a way to fix it, starting from a Hard Reset

Pressing the keys at the same time:
- 3 – Call key – (Green) – Power key
To achieve this the phone to make a full reset, this means they will lose all programs installed on
the phone, Contacts, Calendar, etc…. only the files on the memory card were intact, some apps that are installed on the memory
card is installed automatically after you start the phone .. but it is a significant loss given that our phone was used again

>>>I installed an
application and not working properly, Why?
[ad#goog]
The reasons for which an
application will not work properly you may be several.

The first thing to check is whether the application is compatible with your phone, remember that, for example applications
Symbian S60v3, are not compatible with previous versions. (The same version of software installed on the Nokia N90 can not install it on the N80, for example).

>>>
My phone displays SYSTEM ERROR, what should I do?

Turn your phone into a “fail safe”.

This is done by pressing the “pen” while leaving the device and turn tight until you ask for the PIN.

Remove the phone’s memory
card, Turn it off and turn it on again.If your phone works fine, the problem is in the memory
card. Formattingthe
card and the problem is very likely that this resolved.

Removing the
card even if the problem persists, you have toreformat
the phone. There are several types and formatting codes areperformed by entering the mobile phone keypad:

Codes:

– * # 7780 # -> Restore the original settings of
the phone
- * # 7370 # -> Soft format, but restores the software keeps your settings, contacts, messages, etc..

>>> My memory
card is locked, how did you fix this?

MMC seeks to store the file on the C: drive using any file manager (SeleQ, Fileman, FexPlorer, ProfiExplorer.) Etc.

Rename the file and put the extension. “Txt”, and the password will be open inside.

Another option is to format the memory
card with a
card reader on your PC. (This will remove all data from the memory
card).

>>> Memory “in use”
My phone is full What happens?

Probably you have some
application is open in the background. ”

To test simply to stop pressing the “Menu” and you open the listof running applications. Select the
application you want to quit andpress “C”.

>>> How to turn your phone into a “fail”?

To start
the phone in “fail safe” you have to press the “pen”while turning
the phone and let it down until you ask for the PIN code.

>>>Why can not I send files via bluetooth?

The new firmware updates can not send files to be “protected” (SIS and JAR) via bluetooth. To do this you have 2 options:

1 – Rename the file you want to send the extension and change them to gif, jpg, etc..

2 – Try using “ProfiExplorer” or “x-plorer. It is a file managertype FexPlorer “jumping protection and allows you to send such filesvia bluetooth.

>>> Why can not I uninstall an
application?

Normally, restarting
the phone to solve the problem.
If even so, could not uninstall the
application, probably because the program is in use.

Instálate in a mobile
application that lets you finish running processes (AppMan, for example).

Terminate processes that are running the
application you want and you can uninstall uninstall smoothly.

installed an
application (TomTom, for example) and the galleryof images I have been filling this
application. Can I delete them? Arethey necessary?

Normally, all images are copied to install an
application are required and can not be erased.

The solution so you do not go in the gallery is very simple.Simply dial the images do not want to be out in the gallery as”hidden.”

You can do it from Windows and a
card reader:
Right mouse button over the image and selecting “Properties” and check “Hidden” in “Attributes”
You can also do so from the same phone with a file manager (FexPlorer, ProfiExplorer.), Putting the attribute “Hidden” file.

>>>The PC Suite does not connect me with the mobile what?

The first option is to uninstall the PC Suite and reinstall it.
If you still not connect, try to put this command in Windows:

- Regsvr32.exe% Windir% \ System32 \ Ole32.dll
(Go to “Start / Run” and the window that you type this command leaves)
Often, the PC Suite, when installed, this book does not register correctly and connect it to your PC with your phone.

Hope it will help some of you..

Flurry Beta Tag removed after 300 developers use Flurry Analytics in first 60 days

[ad#goog]

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2009 – Flurry, a cross-platform mobile application analytics provider, rang in the New Year with over 300 developers using its free service within the first 60 days of launching its Beta.  Today Flurry is making available its free service to all iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Java ME developers as well as providing a demo with live data for developers to preview the service.

With new markets like the App Store reporting over 15,000 available games and applications, developer competition for consumers is fierce.  Flurry’s easy-to-integrate technology allows developers to gather live consumer usage data to improve their products, increase user retention and compete more effectively in these new markets.

“Rapid adoption of Flurry Analytics validates we’re solving a significant pain point for game and application developers.  The response has exceeded our own expectations” said Flurry CEO, Simon Khalaf.  “With more platforms supported than any other mobile analytics provider – and new features being added all the time – Flurry offers the most complete solution on the market.”

During its recent Beta, Flurry stress-tested its service for aggressive and reliable scaling.  “As a company whose legacy includes handling millions of mobile emails, we are using our experience to smoothly scale our back-end in order to satisfy the sharp demand for Flurry Analytics” said cofounder and CTO, Sean Byrnes.  “Flurry Analytics has already supported millions of user sessions and has been put through high volume testing to prepare for its next phase of expansion.”

Among the most powerful new features available is the ability for developers to track custom user events within games and applications.  Similar to Google Analytics, but for mobile applications, developers can monitor custom-defined user actions within their applications to better understand how their products are used and where to make improvements.  Comparing user behavior and application performance across different versions enables teams to perform reliable A/B testing.

Hint: If you use self-signed certificate, make sure that your application uses unprotected UID, i.e. 0xA0000000 – 0xAFFFFFFF. If you use protected UID (0×20000000 – 0x2FFFFFFF) or legacy UID (0×10000000 – 0x1FFFFFFF), you will get this message.

Hint: This message may come up when your installation file (.sis/.sisx) copies files to other application’s private folder, i.e. \private\uid. Note that Symbian 9 introduces data caging concept, it means you don’t have access to other application’s private folder.

Message: Expired Certificate

Hint: Do this…
Set the phone date back by 7-8months..

Message: Update error

Hint: Uninstall any previous version of the application, then switch on/off the phone and install again

It was November 2005 when I first held my brand new Nokia Ngage QD and my journey to the world of symbian began. Before I bought NgageQD I had Philips 350 and boy that was a really bad phone. Learning from that experience I searched the internet for best mobile phones that won’t cost me too much as I was only a student at that time.

During my search to find good mobile I got introduced to series 60 world and after knowing some more I became a fan of s60 devices.
NgageQD was the cheapest s60 device available here in India at that time but I didn’t had even that much amount to buy it. Just for my luck my brother bought that phone for me as a reward to my help in managing his marriage party and also for my dance i did in the reception. Here a short clip from that dance attached at the bottom of post.

[ad#chi60]

After that time i was completely immersed in that phone and began to try and learn each and everything I do with that phone. I searched internet for hours to find new applications, trying them, getting bored up soon and searching again for more. It became my life and i was thinking 24×7 about the phone.

One thing to mention here that I had no computer at my home. I never had one and still don’t have any. I use Cyber cafes to do all the internet related stuff. Most of the cyber cafes have deep freeze installed in their computers that doesn’t allowed me to install PC suit or bluetooth drivers to install. I got another challenge and after doing some research I learned to crack deep freeze passwords. Then I was able to connect my phone to the computer.

After loading so many softwares to my phone ( most of them were cracked) I became fan of the (in)famous cracking group BiNPDA. Then I thought of cracking softwares myself and the searching began again to figure out “how to crack mobile softwares?”.

I found some tutorials ( written by 18+2) to read. I downloaded all the required softwares (IDA pro, winhex and others), learned the assembly language for ARM processor and reverse programming. But i never really cracked any software because I only wanted to learn and I couldn’t give so much time as I was a medical student and was in my M.B.B.S. final prof.

While searching for good apps I found two of the killer apps that changed my life. First one was not one app it was group of ebook readers like mobipocket reader, repligo reader, isilo reader etc and the second one was Opera mini. These two softwares let me get most out of my cellphone.

Having ebook reader 24 hours in my hand I got treasure of knowledge as I am a voracious reader. I used to find free and pirated ebooks load them to my phone and reading them from rising in the morning till dropping into sleep really late at nights. I read all types of ebooks like fiction ( Harry potter series. The Da Vinci code and all other books written by Dan Brown, my childhood favourite Robinsson crusso, lost world and others), self improvement books (Chicken soup series, The Alchemist, monk who sold his ferrari, etc.) many medical books and some programming books (HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, Python, ASP.NET) and many more. I learned a lot from those books ( except from programming books as I cant do the practical stuff as I dont have a PC).

Opera mini was the most important software I found. It gave me access to the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. I learnt lot from internet using my phone. I even made my first blog using opera mini.

I have read a long back that ” knowledge in any field never gets wasted”. By seeing my this knowledge of mine about mobile phones and internet my good friend DEV, who is owner of a cyber cafe now lets me use internet for free in return of the knowledge i share with him which i have learned from my Ngage QD and now my nokia N72.

If someone can help me dig more into this really amazing world of symbian and other mobile, feel free to contact me.

And thats my symbian story…

(Credit: F-Secure)The Beselo.A and Beselo.B worms are in the wild, looking to lure Symbian S60 users into clicking on their incoming malicious files, according to a warning issued Tuesday by F-Secure.

[ad#chi60]

The Beselo worms are tricky, in that they use common media file extensions, rather than a standard SIS extension, in sending their malicious payload.

Like the Commwarrior worms, the Beselo worms rely on MMS and Bluetooth to get around, with some social engineering thrown in to trick users into installing the SIS application installation file. But because this file has a common media file extension, such as beauty.jpg, sex.mp3, or love.rm, users are more likely to click “yes” to an installation prompt when opening the file, notes F-Secure.

F-Secure offers this word of advice: just say “no” to such a request.

“There is no reason for any image file to ask installation questions on the Symbian platform, so any image or sound file that does something else than play immediately is without question something else than it claims to be,” warns F-Secure.

That’s the latest twist on smart-phone worms, which debuted in 2004 with the arrival of the Cabir worm. The Beselo worms, meanwhile, were initially clumped in with the pervasive Commwarrior worms, until a discovery was made about their use of common media file extensions.
