Hack Your Symbian 60 phones( Install Unsigned Applications )



HelloOx2 is Symbian hack app that will install a root certificate to your Symbian mobile phone and enable the installation of unsigned software. It’s a bit like jailbreaking the iPhone. You probably know what I’m going to say next.I’m not condoning anything that may violate copyright or terms of usage, but these include regular apps, manufacturer-locked apps and third-party modified software. The installation also includes another Symbian hack app called RomPatcher+ which is used to patch-in your phone’s new features, allowing you to install applications that were never intended for your phone and tinker with system files. If you’re sick of being limited by Nokia’s flagship OS, then HelloOx2 is probably the hack for you.

Helloox 2 – What Does It Do?

So what does Helloox 2 actually do when you install it on your smartphone? Simple – it first maps your drive, allows itself to unzip the contents automatically on the virtual ROM drive (which previously was done manually), it then activates its built in file system and unmaps the drive. Once this is done it installs the root certificate which allows the device to change the built in or default set of rules.
Some Common Issues & Solutions:

Issue #1: When running Helloox, installation freezes with a display message of “Installing Root Certificates“.



Solution: In case your installation or application freezes when “Installing Root Certificates” (“Mapping drive…” -> “Unpacking file…” -> “Activating file system…” -> “Unmapping drive… -> “Installing Root Cert…”) all you have to do is cancel the existing Helloox installation and run the installer for the second time. When running the installation for the second time you will experience no such process hang ups or hung installation. Additionally make sure that no other applications/hacks/widgets are running in the background.

Issue #2: You are unable to view a specific folder while taking a particular step which involves hacking through Helloox or any of its elements.

Solution: At first you will need a good file explorer like LCG X-Plore installed on your phone. The regular File Explorers for Symbian usually do not serve the purpose. Additionally, you will need to turn on the option to view hidden folders and systems files X-Plore before accessing certain hidden files or folders. To do this successfully you will have to launch X-Plore and click “0″ (zero) OR manually go to the following location of X-Plore: Menu – Tools – Options – Show Hidden Files & Show System Folders & Show ROM Drives & Show RAM Drives. Once you are there you will have turn on all the 4 options (tick mark them by clicking the OK button).

Issue #3: I am using Nokia E51 and I have heard that Helloox 2 does not work on it yet? Does it?




Solution: Helloox works with the Nokia E51 smartphones. If you are a Nokia E51 user then you should first try Helloox 2.03. Once you have done that and you are sure that it does not work on your phone – only then – try the Helloox version 1.03. Helloox 1.03 should work with the Nokia E51 smartphones prior to firmware version v400.34.011.

Issue#4: Helloox freezes when I run the application and try to apply the patches that Helloox contains. The screen displays the following – ‘Applying Patches‘ throughout the hang-up process.


Solution: When you have realized that Helloox have frozen while “Applying Patches” you will have to cancel the operation of “Applying Patches”. To do this you will have to press (sometimes long press) the RED Call button of your Nokia device. Now change the date of your phone to February 10th 2008 and exit phone time/date settings menu. Now switch your phone’s Profile to Offline or Flight. Now, without uninstalling the existing Helloox installation of your phone, reinstall Helloox on your phone memory. Before the re-installation make sure that the new Helloox installer is signed by you, for your IMEI, by a 17 graded developer certificate (Don’t know how to get your developer certificates? – Simply follow our extensive guide to acquire your Signing Certificate easily). Once your reinstallation is done – try running Helloox and you will experience no such process hang-ups during the “Applying Patches” operation.

Issue #5: When trying to install Helloox on my device, the installation stalls with an error message displaying “Required Access Not Granted” or “Required Application Access Not Granted“. Is there a workaround?

Solution: Yes there is! This is an certificate issue and it can be easily solved. The error “Required Application Access Not Granted” occurs when the Helloox installer tries to install “Modo” – a file Explorer that comes built in with Helloox. Installing Modo is optional and if you have a similar file explorer such as LCG X-Plore or Y-Browser already installed then you can skip the installation of Modo and you will experience no such error messages while running the Helloox installer. Also, if you have signed Helloox with your own IMEI specific developer certificate then you will not face this issue either.

Otherwise, if you really want to install Modo with Helloox running side by side, you can also install Modo as a standalone application. Just download the unsigned Modo standalone app and sign it with a 17 graded signing certificate (developer cert) before installing it. After the successful installation of Modo simply run the Helloox installer and you should be able to run Helloox without any error messages regarding application access.

The basic reason for the error message “Required Application Access Not Granted” is because of your certificate’s limited capability to perform advanced operations. If you have a developer certificate from any of the 2 sites I recommended in the post about “Certificate, Key & Signing” then you should sign Helloox or Modo with that certificate and I assure you that you will not face any kind of errors whatsoever.

Issue #6: What are the differences between a “Partial Hack” and a “Full Hack“? What are they?



Solution: The difference between a partial hack as opposed to a full hack is that the partial hack only allows the firmware to be hacked through the Helloox method while the full hack means that the firmware is cross hackable with different hacking methods other than Helloox (like HelloCarbide). A full hack also allows you to switch capability checking off completely for all programs and applications and the full hack also lets you to install custom installserver.exe files on your device to define your own set of rules.

Issue #7: The Helloox application hangs up or freezes with the following message displayed on the screen “Unpacking Files“.

Solution: Simply cancel the process by clicking the Red Call Button and Restart your smartphone. Once the phone has been restarted launch Helloox again only after turning the profile of your phone to OFFLINE or FLIGHT Mode. You should then be able to install Helloox smoothly! In case you still experience a freeze – you may need to flip your default phone settings to Factory Settings (not recommended for newbies) and try again.

Issue #8: The Helloox application hangs up or freezes with the following message displayed on the screen “Installing Root Certificate“.

Solution: Simply cancel the process by clicking the Red Call Button and Restart your smartphone. Once the phone has been restarted launch Helloox again only after turning the profile of your phone to OFFLINE or FLIGHT Mode. You should then be able to install Helloox smoothly! In case you still experience a freeze – you may need to flip your default phone settings to Factory Settings (not recommended for newbies) and try again.

Issue #9: The Helloox application hangs up or freezes with the following message displayed on the screen “Mapping Drives“.

Solution: Simply cancel the process by clicking the Red Call Button and Restart your smartphone. Once the phone has been restarted launch Helloox again only after turning the profile of your phone to OFFLINE or FLIGHT Mode. You should then be able to install Helloox smoothly! In case you still experience a freeze – you may need to flip your default phone settings to Factory Settings (not recommended for newbies) and try again.

Issue #10: The installation of Helloox quits and your phone displays the error message “Unable To Install. Constrained By The Certificate” when I launch the Helloox installer.

Solution: This is a certificate issue and it can be solved if you sign your Helloox installer with your own IMEI specific developer certificate and key file.

Issue #11: The installation of Helloox quits and your phone displays the error message “Certificate Error. Contact The Application Supplier“.

Solution: This is another certificate issue and it can be easily solved when you install a signed version of Helloox. Depending on your phone’s firmware the signed versions I have included within the download may or may not work on your phone ( no harm in trying though!). However, if you do sign the unsigned version that I have included in the download, with your own IMEI specific Cert & Key file then it is bound to work!

Issue #12: Can I undo the Helloox hack after I have successfully hacked my phone with Helloox once? Can I uninstall Helloox after it has finished hacking?

Solution: Yes, you can undo the hack on your phone with the “Undo Hack” button, however, you cannot uninstall Helloox and expect to keep your phone remain hacked. Once you remove the application – the hack will disappear. The applications/games/themes that you have already installed with Helloox will keep on working unless you remove them from your phone with the application manager.

Issue #13: Will the phone remain hacked after I update my Nokia firmware with a newer version using the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) software?

Solution: Depending on your phone’s model and existing firmware the hack may or may not remain intact after a firmware update, it is quite difficult to have a specific answer without knowing about your Symbian OS device and Firmware version. In most instances, the hack does remain valid and working after a successful Firmware Flash or Update but there are also reports that you may need to hack again once you have updated to a newer firmware. Check the Helloox Firmware Compatibility Chart above for firmware specific info.

Issue #14: My firmware is not listed above or I can’t seem to find it anywhere within the compatibility chart? Will Helloox work with my unlisted firmware? Can you help?

Solution: Yes I can help or at least try my best to do so but please be sure that your firmware is not listed above. You can do a quick CTRL+F from your browser while you are browsing in this page to find your firmware version. The list is not in alphabetical order so CTRL+F really helps you to if I actually have listed your version above or not. Once you are sure that it is not there (maybe I have missed it or maybe it is new) on the chart simply let me know your firmware version along with your phone’s model number through the comment form below and I will update the chart ASAP with your firmware version and Helloox compatibility in it!
Steps After Successful Installation:

After you have completed the installation of Helloox on your Nokia FP1, FP2, FP3 or FP5 based Symbian OS smartphone you will have to run the set of features that Helloox packs as an application. I have put together a self explanatory, screenshot based tutorial to the few steps that you can and should take after successfully installing Helloox on your Nokia Symbian Phones.




So How Do I Hack?

Head over to the HelloOx2 website and first check if your phone is supported. There’s a gargantuan list of S60 3rd and 5th generation phones that will hack, including some of the newest on the shelf today. Once you’ve found your phone, check to see if your current firmware is supported.  Once you’ve got those two green lights, you’re pretty much ready to go.



Now for the ironic bit. In order to install the root certificate to an unhacked phone, the HelloOx2 application must be signed first. I know, right? You have two options ““ you can make a small donation to the application manufacturer and receive your HelloOx2 via email, or you can download an unsigned version and sign it yourself.

Here the signer attached also with helloOXv2.11.sisx.
Just get your own cer and key and put it in this program,and it will generate hello ox sisx file for you.

Its better use signer to create your own helloOXv2.11.sisx with the signer,but you can try the sisx file first and sign it with your own cer and key.

Download this Program to Signed Your HelloOx2 Application For your phone.

Precautions BEFORE the Helloox Installation:

  1. Fully Charge your Battery and keep your charger nearby after the charging is complete.
  2. Stop all the running apps from your Symbian your Symbian device. Many apps do not appear on the running applications list, you can use any Symbian task managers to kill them manually.
  3. If possible, please take a back up of your mobile using Nokia PcSuite. Make sure that you make a complete back up and once done – store it on your PC (not your phone).
  4. If possible, make sure your Firmware version does support installing Helloox. You can do this by finding out about your firmware version using Nokia Software Updater and then Googling your Firmware version with the keywords Helloox in Google Search.
  5. Make sure that your phone Symbian OS is running on either the 3rd edition OS or the 5th edition OS version.
  6. Make sure that your Helloox supports your FP (Feature Pack). Helloox supports FP1, Fp2, Fp3 and FP5 Devices.
  7. Make sure that you have all the needed files for the hacking process.
  8. If possible, take your phone services offline momentarily during the entire installation process.
  9. Make sure that you follow this tutorial for avoiding mishaps and accidents.
  10. Precautions DURING the Installation Process:
  11. Make sure you do not run any other application when doing the installation of Helloox or any of its related files.
  12. Make sure you install the files in the correct order as described in this tutorial or guide.
  13. Make sure you never cancel the installation of Helloox during the installation process, this can seriously hamper your phone’s features. If at any point you feel that the installation is taking a bit too much time – then wait a bit more! It will finish – trust me!
  14. Here is a general rule of thumb – the entire process of installing Helloox should not take you more than 3 minutes in general – but there are also a very few reports that it took over 20 minutes to install completely. So do not panic if you realize it is taking you a bit more than the usual time it takes it install properly.
  15. Hacking is really a very simple, straight forward process and most people simply needs to install Helloox 2 to get it over with. The tag “Hacking” implies something difficult but I can assure you that it is not at all complicated in any way.
