FExplorer

This is a file browser with extended capabilities like taking screenshot. If you want to hack your telephone, you definitely need a good file browser. I am currently using the 1.16 BETA version. The developer is working on supporting S 60 3rd edition that runs Symbian 9.1.

Opera Mobile

You can get a 25 days trail version of this browser (despite the web site says 14 days trail). Usage beyond will cost you 225 NOK (that is about 27 Euros ).

Version: 8.51 version Build 7032.

Gnubox

Gnubox is an application that let you change the network connection settings of many Symbian mobile phones to enable them to have an internet connection over bluetooth. This again let you use applications like the Opera Mobile web browser on your symbian mobile, set it to use bluetooth to connect to your bluetooth enabled linux box. Thus enabling you to surf the internet through your linux box using it's internet connection. In other words you don't have to pay your telephone operator to use the internet.

This is my set up:

OSs tested: Ubuntu linux Breezy/5.10 laptop with a working USB bluetooth dongle, Ubuntu Dapper LTS, and Mandriva 2006 all using bluez
Mobile phones tested: Nokia 6630 and a Nokia N70
gnubox: Using the gnubox_6630_80_81.sis and gnubox_N70.sis (from the testing directory).
Internet options tested: NextGenTel ADSL connection and a local LAN with static IP addresses

Some details about my system:

DNS settings (for ADSL connection seen below)

Test to see if your system have discovered your bluetooth dongle

root@ubuntu:~# hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:10:C6:1E:ED:62 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING RX bytes:117 acl:0 sco:0 events:15 errors:0 TX bytes:310 acl:0 sco:0 commands:14 errors:0

Scan for you mobile phone from you box (as a system check)

root@ubuntu:~# hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:12:62:E3:18:E1 Nokia 6630 root@ubuntu:~#

There is no /dev/rfcomm0 so I make it like this:


root@ubuntu:~# mknod /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0

On Ubuntu Breezy I had some troubles and discovered that the ppp package was not installed. Check this if dund gives you weird messages when testing the connection (see 'Bring up if' later).

My dun file:


root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/ppp/peers/dun

iptables command (for my ADSL network at home):

Enabling ip_forwarding (you need to be root for this):


root@ubuntu:~/scripts# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Starting dun (BlueZ Bluetooth dial-up networking daemon):


root@ubuntu:~/scripts# dund -n --listen --encrypt call dun

Setting up a new connection

Then I made a new connection in my Nokia:
Name : Bt
Data bearer: Packet data
Access point name: Bt
User name: rune
Prompt password: No
Password: ****
Authentication: Normal

Go into the advanced setting and put in an IP address and DNS servers form resolve.conf

IP settings

DNS settings

Started gnubox again. It did not find the Bt connection so I ran Options | Install | create records. Exited gnubox and launched it again. This time the Bt connection was found (see below)

Bt discovered

Then I choose Options | 2box bluettooth | Lan Access Server. Selected my Ubuntu bluetooth and answered "Yes" to "Do you want to require encryption ?"

Testing with Opera Mobile (this does not work with my N70 in 'off line' mode)

Launched Opera Mobile and set it to use the Bt connection in the preferences (on my N70 I used IM+).

This is the output from the console I ran dund from (this is similar to the output you get if you try to debug with 'Bring up if')
