Cracking Garmin Mobile XT on Nokia 5800

Hey people.. so i have always wanted to set up Garmin on my Nokia 5800. I went to a handphone shop dealer nearby and they wanted to charge me around RM80 (20 USD).

I felt it was stupid to pay such an amount and decided to set it up myself and it turn out pretty well.

While i was googling for help, i found this tutorial done by
http://www.noktahhitam.com/how-to-install-garmin-xt-on-nokia-5800-symbian-s60-v3.html

This tutorial is specially for Nokia 5800 since many people bought it because of its affordable price. Im pretty sure many people are trying to get Garmin for free if they can XD. However, this tutorial should work for all smart phone, but no guarantee =)

I used the tutorial and it was a great success XD I got it totally free =)

However, there are loops and holes in the tutorial which took me a long time experimenting it and finally get done with it.

Therefore, i will make a few improvements on the tutorial given by noktahhitam to ease your way during your tutorial.

Improvements

1. You should not skip step one. It will show u certificate error. However, it is totally depends on yr phone. coz it may or may not occur to yr phone, so it is better to do so.

2. The default code for soft reset is 12345 unless you changed it before during your soft reset.

3. Back up your data
A. Press the white menu button.

B. Select "Applications".

C. Select "File Manager".

D. Select "Backup".

E. Select "Options", then "Back Up Now".

F. Select "Yes" (it will automatically replace any previous backup).

G. To restore just go through the same process and press "restore" instead of "backup now".

4. In part 3 step 3, you will be prompt with several choices, but u only choose "connecting to Garmin GPS "

5. If you are still prompt with the similar page once u cracked it on your phone, that means you still failed to crack it. Make sure you change the sw.unl text file to sw.unl.

A. Once you get your key from the generator. Put on note pad.
B. Press file and save as.
C. Name the file "sw.unl"
D. Under "save as type", change to "all files".
E. then save

(I failed so many times because of this step, be careful!!)

6. You will not get to change to " attached GPS" in the remote GPS setting unless you successfully cracked it.










Be sure to follow the steps according to the tutorial. You should have no problem throughout the process XD.

have fun and good luck =)

Again, dont give a damn to those h/p dealer who charged you unnecessarily XD

Save your RM80, im such a cheapskate =p
