Nokia E55 034.001 HACKED - RomPatcher 2.3

This tutorial will explain how to hack your Nokia E55 with the latest firmware on it 034.001. This might be an opportunity to upgrade to the latest firmware version available right now (07.06.2010) and is compatible with the previous firmware version 033.012 .  This method uses a firmware “patch”.

On Windows 7  it has been reported that the drivers won’t work correctly.

The patch for the new version 034.001 is posted bellow.

For version 034.001 use the same procedure as for  031.012 version.

Update 02.04.2010:

• Fixed buggy patch file which removed Youtube, Facebook and MySpace widgets.
• If you wish to flash your phone with JAF just copy the files from rm482-033.022-patch directory (is found in patch archive) into the Nokia firmware folder of your E55 (usually is here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\DataPackage\Products\RM-482). Replace the current files in the fw folder or make a backup of the older ones first. The files which are replaced are: rm482_033.002_U000.000_prd.uda.fpsx and rm482_033.002_U001.000_prd.uda.fpsx.
  Notice: by doing this you won’t be able to flash with Pheonix. I recomend that you avoid this method and use the Pheonix method described bellow in this article, or if you want to use JAF select the CNT file separately, in the directory where you extracted the patch files.
  

To get this job over with you need the folowing:

Once all of these files are downloaded, you must install Pheonix and the Firmware files for you mobile phone. DO SO! The proces is not complicated.

Just remember to close any other nokia software before running Pheonix, because it may interfere with the flashing process and you don’t want to brick your phone.

Dead USB flashing short guide:

You can start Pheonix to use Dead USB flashing by doing the following:
- start Phoenix
- go to File > Manage Connections…
- in the Priority list, move NO CONNECTION first in the list, click Apply and Close
- now go to File > Open product, select RM-482 and click Open
- go to Flashing > Firmware update, tick Dead USB flashing and follow the steps described in the tutorial.

1. We run Phoenix (All Programs > Phoenix > Phoenix)

2. Make sure your phone is connected via USB and PC Suite mode is enabled.

Step3: Find you device

3. We are now in Phoenix main menu, we go to File > Scan product… , after which if the operation is successful, the top menu and the status bar should look like in image from step 4 ( see below).

4.  Now the product is recognized and loaded by Phoenix and we are going to prepare to flash the phone with the latest version of firmware available right now and at the same time HACK IT using the firmware patch which will automatically install RomPatcher+ 2.3. Next you click Flashing > Firmware Update from the top menu after which a dialog box should pop-out.  See the image below:

Step4: Flashing e55

5. Now the flashing dialog will have poped-out listing give you multiple choices. First you must select the firmware version you want to flash (in case you don’t want to flash the auto-selected firmware). You can do so by clicking the
” … ” buton which will bring a list with all the available firmware for your model. Pick one and click OK

Step 5: Select your firmware

6. After selecting our wanted firmware for flashing we click Options > Add and we look for our patch (the one in the archive, you must unrar it first to use it :)) ). It’s the one with the similar name with a file in the flash list (take a good look at before clicking Add): rm482_031.012_U000.000_prd.uda.fpsx or rm482_031.012_U001.000_prd.uda.fpsx (BTW: both are the same)

After selecting the patch file to flash, set the Type to: Content and tick Refurbish while you are in the Add file dialog box.

The flash file list should look like in the image below:

Step 6: Files to flash

Now we click OK to close the dialog box and we get ready to flash the mobile phone.

7. Now click Refurbish and wait for Pheonix to finish flashing your phone. The output should be like in the image below:

Final step: Flash complete

Doesn’t matter if you get warning or error during the flash. If you brick your phone IT CAN BE FIXED!

Click OK in the dialog, Close in the flash box, and close Phoenix, remove the data cable from your phone, configure it and go to Application > RomPatcher+ and activate the available patches.

Here is the result:

Proof: Latest firmware

Proof: RomPatcher+ Working

PSSS: I think this patch works on almost any symbian mobile phone
