Nokia 5800 v40 Hack Now Available: Get Those Unsigned Apps Now!

Worked here!

Thanks guys and PNHT!

My productcode is: 0576907 but I tried searching it but it’s not in the list.. Does somebody know what kind of productcode I need to use?

Im am from the Netherlands
I have a Red nokia5800XM

Thanks, and you guys are fast! Great Job!

Guys, what does ‘hackable’ mean and what advantages do such Nokia phones have?

First of all -
Thanks for an EXCELLENT post! I have successfully updated my 5800 in South Africa, and the hacked v40 works perfectly!

Secondly -
The instructions above are NOT perfect, and I struggled to complete the update on my phone. I even BRICKED my 5800 today!!!!! I have since managed to get it working again (PHEW!).

Please note the following additional pieces of information:

Point 1 Addendum -
When navigating in “Navifirm”, you might NOT see just the v40 files in the Right Hand frame, EVEN if you selected “40.0.5″ under “releases”. Do NOT download files which have something like “31.0….” listed in the file names. You should select another “Variant” (code) to get the latest version set of firmware files which have something like “RM-356 40.0.005..” in the file names.

Point 1 Addendum -
The default path listed (”C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\DataPackage\Products\RM-356\”) in the instructions did NOT work for me. I had to place all firmware files into “C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-356″ for JAF to work correctly.

Point 2 Addendum -
This instruction fails to mention that after renaming the “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” file, you MUST then replace this missing file with the extra downloaded “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” file. If you just rename the file, you will have a MISSING file from the firmware set, and this WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!!

Point 4 Addendum -
only when you select the “Use INI” checkbox in JAF will the Phone Model choices come up.

Point 5 Addendum -
When the Flash to the phone is complete, you can switch the Phone Mode to “Normal” in JAF to release the phone from JAF. Your phone should restart when you change the mode in JAF.

Point 6 Addendum -
When you restart the phone with the new firmware, you should see the application called “ROMPatcher ” under “Applications” which you must run. This is “RP “.

Final Notes:
a. This procedure actually FLASHES the entire firmware (Operating System) of the phone and is EXTREMELY dangerous! If the flashing does not work perfectly, you can BRICK your phone!!!!

b. V40 is still NOT available in South Africa. I changed the phone code from South Africa (0575950) to British Isles Red (0552438) using JAF. See the V40 post “Firmware Update V.40 Brings Kinetic Scrolling to 5800 Finally!!”. Be VERY careful if you change the phone code, since you will lose any warranty you may have on the phone. I also suggest that you change the code back to what it was, after all operations/flash has completed.

c. By Hacking your phone, you will be able to install any SIS file on the phone, whether it is signed or not. You will not get the “Certificate Error” for unsigned applications. You also loose any warranty you may have on the phone. You can also (potentially) install a destructive application on the phone. Do so at your own risk!

Enjoy!

Not for Win7 x64 …

Dude it’ working on Win7 x64 …

Its working on 7 for me, only problem is when I try to check the use INI box, it won’t stay ticked, says it can’t find an ini file, I can’t find one on navifirm for any region. I’m in NZ by the way. And they still haven’t even released v40 here.

Any help would be great

Just a bit of advice for a few of the problems mentioned above:

If you don’t like your product code, just change it. download NSS, you can find it on google, then the interface is pretty self explanatory. I have a blue version on a vodafone subscription (0577089), one of thee last too get an update, but I changed it temporarily for the update, and now I am doing the same for the hack.

If you are having a problem with OS compatibility, right click on the program, go to properties and on one of the tabs you can choose to run it in compatibility mode for XP. there shouldn’t be a problem with 64-bt OS’s, they can run programs for 32-bit as well

thanks for the great information… successfully hacked my 5800 to black india version with code 0573797 …

Thanks to the PNHT team, for bringing the latest hack to the masses

thanks to Raymond who solved and saved a lot of time and mental tension otherwise occured during those errors pop up… it was so simple with this tutorial.

If you do NOT see ROMPatcher (under “Applications”) on phone, then I think you have flashed the phone, but not applied the application patch that includes ROMPatcher.

Please do the following in the Firmware folder on PC where all the firmware files are (C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-356\):
1. Rename the standard file “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” to “RM356_40.0.005_003_U302.uda.fpsx”
2. Add the NEW file “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” to the folder (to restore the missing file). This file can be downloaded as in link “dl link for RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” near the top of this page.

Now re-flash the phone with JAF and done! You should NOW see the new ROMPatcher app under “applications” on the phone.

Thats cos you’re a cock.

If a folder does not exist, create it. Just make sure it matches what the output says it expects…

This is MY OWN personal step-by-step guide:

How to upgrade Nokia 5800 to v40.00.005
with ROMPatcher Application - Feb 2010
=======================================

PREPARE FIRMWARE:
—————–
1.
Download all firmware files using “Navifirm” and save to:
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-356\
You should have 8 files in this folder
(These files contain all firmware for phone)

2.
Rename the downloaded file “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” to “RM356_40.0.005_003_U302.uda.fpsx”

3.
Replace the missing “RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” file with the patched file.
(”RM356_40.0.005_023_xxx_U01.uda.fpsx” contains all 5800 Apps,
including “ROMPatcher “)

SETUP APPLICATIONS ON PC:
————————-
4.
Run/Install “JAFSetup_1.98.62.exe”
You can Check existing USB Drivers (version: 7.1.23.0).
Do NOT install USB Drivers from JAF.

——–
6.
Run “OGM_JAF_PKEY_Emulator_v 5.exe” from Desktop.

JAF will start

7.
Select “BB5″ tab on top
Select “Prod. Manager” check box and press “Service” button
Read Phone Code. Code should be same as “Navifirm” (firmware)
Write Phone Code if changed and close.

8.
Select “BB5″ tab on top
Select ONLY the following check boxes (delselect all others):
X Manual Flash

Select Phone Model as “RM-356″
All 4 lights should be green and message should show:

11.

As per the documentation a number of times above, download ALL 8 files. Rename the files when you have downloaded them all.

@japanpatel # 25
As per the documentation a number of times above, did you “Run “OGM_JAF_PKEY_Emulator_v 5.exe” from Desktop.”???

@ajboy13 # 26
As per the documentation a number of times above, did you download JAF from the links provided. Did you Google “JAFSetup_1.98.62.exe”?

@Tonppa # 27
As per the documentation a number of times above, “On Phone,under “Applications”,run “ROMPatcher“.

@arvind # 28
As per the documentation a number of times above, Read @Raymond # 17

Everyone, R T F M!

@Interpreet- You can contact your company if you want but it usually takes a few months for the update to spread all over the world.

And yeah we will create a page to submit your ideas.

“hack your mobile and lose the warranty ”
