The security of Symbian 9.x platform has finally been hacked. Until now, accessing the private folder of the Symbian OS was impossible, but now with a simple python script available for hacking open the security has exposed the very security of the platform and raised concerns by the developers. However, many enthusiasts are working now in developing and porting various applications to Symbian 9.x as now they can successfully bypass the mandatory signing procedure for developing applications for Symbian OS.
The procedure is as below:
Following softwares are needed
1) Sony Ericsson PC suite for mobile phones/Nokia PC suite
2) Apptrk.sis
3) Pyserial-2.2.win32 for windows xp
4) Python 2.5.1
5) Win32-py2.5
6) 1.py (the script file for running on python interpreter on PC)
All the files can be downloaded from here:

Now, install AppTRK.sis file on your Symbian 9.x based mobile phone either by copying it on memory card on by Bluetooth/data cable and the other softwares mentioned in the list on the host PC. Run PC suite on the host PC and connect phone through USB cable. Then go to My computer -> properties-> hardware->device manager. There you will find option like com and LPT ports with your mobile model showing there like “SE P990i application port(com6) SE PC connect port (com7). Note it down!
Edit the python scrip file 1.py through notepad and replace “ser = serial.Serial(4) # I have COM5” line in the script with the comm port you have seen in the my computer. Save it.
Run AppTRK.sis on mobile and it must show connected, if not then change port 2 to port 1. Now execute the python shell script through CMD by pressing calling 1.py through CMD. Afte executing for a few seconds, the script will show something like ”>close ,>End+Exit” it shows that you have successfully completed the task. Now you can easily access the private as well as protected folders of your phone through external file managers like fman or x-plore
