Nokia N97 V20/V21 HACK BY PNHT

[Adonix]

  POST EDITED!!

Announcement:

Greetings Nokia users,

Since few months a small and new group emerged to light and offered for many of you the possibility to RE-HACK your phones and even better, they offered to Cook and Customize your Firmwares which was impossible until now!!

This group hasn't stopped here! It's continuously trying to break new frontiers in Nokia Firmware Hacking which enables users to extend their cooking to another level (like CORE editing).

However, some of you aren't aware of the time spent on cracking the firmwares, developing new tools and not forgetting the dangers of definitely Bricking our phones. So far, Szakalit had to repair phone in service two times after bricking it while trying to hack CORE. I also bricked it once so far and this kind of brick isn't flashable with JAF! Now all of you know that this costs money (8~10 euro per repair) and that's why we included a Donate button in both tools NokiaEditor and NokiaFirmwareEditor.
Sadly, so far, our tools users hasn't been generous so far and we didn't receive but ~13 euros till now and these donations did come from almost 10 users!
Now when we compare the number of donations to the number of users using the tools, we find that it's not even close to 1%. As a team, we aren't looking for making money out of this, but at the same time, we aren't willing to invest our money (and time) repairing our phones too. So we need to buy JAF boxes so we can repair our phones at home.

Therefore, we are asking hereby for your help and you can do that by donating
 
We have put our Donation buttons here and we are waiting to see user's generosity. Basing on that, PNHT will decide if they continue to distribute future builds freely or include a registration fee or not release a tool at all.

Think and act Fast

Thank You.

First post modified. This hack should work on RM505, RM506 and RM507!

It isn't possible to flash with phoenix as it checks the checksum of the file, and at that point, the flashing fails. Maybe there is a way to disable this check, I'm not so good in Phoenix

Also please, TOOLS, TOOLS, TOOLS!

[jipee296]

if we install this rm-505 on our rm-507, it will not brick the phone??

This is true, but my beta tester said it worked with pheonix 

[Adonix]

if you look at the file name, it's RM505_507_20.0.019_uda_1_001.uda.fpsx. So you see, 505, 507. I've also downloaded the files from Navifirm and they are the same for 505, 506,507.

So there should be any problem if you don't do anything wrong during flashing!
