Easy method of hacking N95 to allow installation of unsigned apps

I spent quite a bit of time working on finding an easy way to get unsigned apps on my N95 8GB, so i thought i would post it here to help save some people some massive time wasting.

I have kind of combined a couple of methods to produce one easy 5 minute process.

As for crediting the original people, well I got all the infor/files i needed from multiple sources, so apologies to everyone. I am not taking credit for the creation of the files or the process. maybe for the "fine tuning" hehehe

ok, you will need 4 files, and you need to FOLLOW THIS PROCESS.

Files are available here

The 4 files are here in this zip.

STEP 1:

Install Y Browser on your phone, your phone should allow it as it's signed (it was at the time of this posting)

STEP 2:

Install HelloCarbide.sisx

STEP 3:

Connect Your phone using data transfer mode and copy the other 2 files (installer.exe and CProfDriver_SISX.ldd) to a directory somewhere on the phone (remember where!) I copied mine to E:\Hack

STEP 4: - READ CAREFULLY!!!

Open up Y-Browser
Hit the menu key (so Y-Browser is still running in the background)
Run HelloCarbide from your applications folder.
Click options >> Menu1
--it will say Done....probably
Then click Yes
Go back to Y-Browser
Copy the 2 files mentioned in Step 3 to C:\SYS\BIN

Note: If you accidently exit Y-Browser before you have copied the files, you will have to turn your phone off and back on and repeat step 4

STEP 5:

Once the 2 files are in the SYS\BIN folder, you can turn your phone off and back on and Voila! You will now be able to install unsigned apps like RotateMe etc

Any questions about the process feel free to ask.

What are the downsides to doing this?
I managed to leave the forum just about the same time the signing process stopped being easy so I'm out of the loop with all this

Sorry! my bad, left out a step there

After running hellocarbide, goto options >> Menu1 hit ok

Then it will say "done...probably"

hit yes

I'll edit the main post.

RE Calamity - No down side mate, i've had no issues with my phone at all.

I guess there may be issues from a warranty perspective, but you can always do a firmware reset ;)

SORRY AGAIN FOR LEAVING THAT PART OUT OF STEP 4!!!! woooops

Yeh the online thing is a piece of junk, especially if you want to do a big file, i got nothing but errors on that, that's why i spent the time working out an easier way.

Sorry about stuffing you around with not writing the process properly, especially when i said READ CAREFULLY there, hahaha

I didn't have my phone on me, i was typing it off memory from work.....bad idea
