I have tested it as promised in my last post. After some initial trouble, I managed to get the Symbian 9.2 Platform Security hack working on my N95 with 20.0.015 firmware. It does work, as long as you don’t reboot the phone, as you can see in the screenshots I have posted on my personal blog, rawsocket dot org, where you can also find more details on this issue.

The trick is still a bit cumbersome to perform, but it works. I'll keep my eye on the latest developments from both sides, hackers' and Nokia's, to see where this is going. Are we seeing the beginning of a catch-up game like the one Sony and Apple have been playing against hackers, with all the jailbreaks and cracked firmwares?
