Hey guys! I've decided to root my Nokia 5233 (Symbian S60 5th Edition) phone... But I'm totally noobs at rooting and this is gonna be my very first attempt to rooting a phone... :|

I'd like to know the easiest and safest ways to go about this... (Like one-click apps)

And the reason for me trying to root my phone is just to customize it to my usage like getting Brightness Control (which actually sits in Menu/Settings/Phone/Display), Phone Lock Button (accessible from power button) and Sensor Settings (Menu/Settings/Phone) to my home screen... (I really don't know if it's possible to get these things done... :oops: ). I also want to experience the pros of a rooted device...

If it's really possible to get all these settings on the home screen please tell me an app (if any exists...) that can help me with this...

Thnx in advance !! :mrgreen:

Can Symbian be rooted? If it can be, I don't think there is any straightforward way to do this.

I Think you want to Install CFW on ur Mobile Phone and want to install unsigned apps with homescreen support !!
If Yes
Then you may Flash ur mobile with either Nokia N97 Based Cfw or nokia C6 based CFW!
I have Nokia X6 with Nokia N97 Based CFW...

Symbian can't be rooted , if it does then there must be other term other than "rooting".
You can customise your phone by installing custom firmware , to get some advanced features.

Photon is the fastest.
I have tried most of the CFW available fro Nokia S60V5 9.4.
One special mention goes to AOV CFW for Nokia 52xx.

BTW its Ultimate Blaze CFW(Custom Firmware).Not OFW(Original Firmware):wink:

I believe in what i do and not only what i read.
I have used it on my Nokia 5230 along with several other CFW like Revenge6,AOV,Photon,etc.I know the difference.
Head to the Page of any CFW and you will find similar Bragging.
I have even cooked my own CFW :wink: lol

^^My friend all CFW in nutshell are based on original Firmware only.
How can you expect modders to fiddle with core OS files.
For eg C6^Photon is based on original firmware of nokia C6 and has been used to port OFW C6 to older Noki 52XX phones.
Basically each CFW or OFW has 4 major files as you must be knowing.ROFS2/ROFS3/CORE/UDA.

In most CFW like AOV the original OFW Core file is kept intact and ROFS2/ROFS3 files are cooked/modded with tools Like Nokia FW Cooker to modify their functionality.
While in Ported CFW like Photon the Original Core file is modded whereas ROFS2/ROFS3 may or mayn't be changed.
In both cases UDA file is kept blank or original UDA is used.

So if in a CFW original Core files are used then it's OFW Based ??
or still CFW...
Overall I got ur point but still bit Confused Bro ..

I tried to download c6 photon but there are so many links and some of them even say "recooked c6 photon" so I'm worried that I'd download some rubbish from there...

Pls. give me a like where I can download exactly what you are talking about... :D
