BB5 Security Info

[electrophoretic]

@Dylf, I found the info scattered accross two different forums so there is no single URL... how can you be 100% sure that the solution isnt as simple as flashing an unlocked certificate (wherever it is, PM, Flash etc) and disabling the watchdog so that the phone wont shut down due to the modified cert?

i am almost certain that there will be no way of making a calc for BB5 products as the improved security is pretty water tight... just to restore the certificate after changing a Flash IC requires you to submit info to Nokia for a *.RPL file, and i think i read that each network operator uses a different smartcard with a different algo...

no, i think the way forward isnt a calc but a flash patch of some kind...

please contribute more!!

i cant tell you if the whatchdog is implemented on the dct4 platform, i just know that it is there. It is the way that the internal nokia is doing it. The request process is used primary to unlock, rebuild emei and some other that I can't renember.
