Following this update, you will not be able to use previous hacking methods on your devices as you will receive a component built-in error. The following guide will show you how to hack the above mentioned Nokia Belle FP2 devices only using a ROM Patcher+ method. But it will use Safe Manager to insert the ROM patcher files to C:/sys/bin instead of using antivirus apps.

Safe Manager is a powerful multi-functional (Chinese) app which has a file manager capable of full system read/write access. This feature is used to copy the required files to the system folder.

If you are ready you can read our step-by-step guide on how to hack your Nokia Symbian Belle FP2 device below.

   -
7. After installation is complete, run ROMPatcher+ and apply all patches. -

Once you are done you can enjoy installing any unsigned app or game to your Symbian Belle FP2 device.  

METHOD 02 If the above mentioned method doesn’t work for you for some reason, you can try using the following method instead.

1. Download BelleFP2_Hack_2_digipassion and extract its contents.
   -
2. Install Safe_Manager_Symbian.sisxto your E:/ drive (mass storage) and ignore any warning while you proceed with the installation.
   -
3. Once the installation in complete Safe Manager will launch itself (if not you can launch it manually from your menu.

   • Open E:/ (mass memory) under My Computer
   • Go to folder where you extracted files in Step 1 and open English Files for Safe Mgr. and copy the files inside these folders to E:/ (mass memory) on your device according to the path they are in the extracted folders (replace files if prompted).
     -
5. Disconnect your device from the computer and launch Safe Manager from your menu
   • Select No if you receive any prompts
   • Go to Other > FileMgr and files you extracted in Step 1

     -
6. Install ROMPatcher+3.1_FP2_Lite.sisx to your device (it should be available in the file you extracted in Step
   -
7. After installation is complete, run ROMPatcher+ and apply all patches.

The ROMPatcher+v3.1 can only be used with Belle FP2 devices. It is not recommended to be used to hack older Symbian (Belle / Belle Refresh / Belle FP1) devices.

The Nokia Music for Symbian app has received a major update for Nokia Belle FP2 devices which now offers a Qt-based native Symbian app to replace the previous version which was largely web based. The app offers a whole new music browsing and buying experience, demonstrating that Nokia is still committed to support their Symbian platform users.

You can download the app to your device by connecting your Bell FP2 device to your computer through the Nokia Suite.

The update should eventually also be available as an OTA update through the SW Update app. This brand new app could also have been the reason for Nokia to previously pull the Belle FP2 update after some users complained about issues on their devices.



We aren't quite certain if this app is part of the refreshed Bell FP2 update, and yet need to clarify if non Bell FP2 users have access to the new music app. If you do get your hands on this update, let us know how it worked out for your.

Nokia has been facing some issues with their Belle FP2 update for some time now. The update was first accidently leaked and immediately taken down, leaving a few lucky users with the latest version of Symbian. Then Nokia officially released the update, but took it down yet again when some users complained about certain issues they were facing with their devices after the update.
This time it is hopefully here to stay as users are reporting that the Nokia Belle FP2 update is now rolling out once again for their devices.
The Nokia 808 PureView, Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and the Nokia 701 will receive the Nokia Belle FP2 update which now includes the fixed Nokia Music app. You can read the official change-log of the Nokia Belle FP2 update here.

The update is said to bring several new features and improvements to the Symbian platform for the mentioned devices and is part of Nokia’s continuous support for the Symbian platform.
 

Nokia released the following statement on the Nokia Discussion Forum:

“Hi all,

We just received the latest from our Nokia Comms team. And it’s good news!

Here’s the information:

“We have now solved the issues, and will continue to deliver the software update today with an extra update to Nokia Music.

Consumers, who have already downloaded the software update, will be able to download an update to Nokia Music to fix the earlier issues. It will be available as of today as an over the air update via Software Update application on the phone as well as through Nokia Suite application in PC.

Today, we will also continue delivering the general software update. The update will be available via the software update application on the phone as well as through Nokia Suite application in PC. On top of the general software update, we recommend the users of the Nokia 808 PureView, Nokia 603, Nokia 700 or Nokia 701 to download a separate over-the-air update to Nokia Music. We will continue deliveries for country and operator variants within the next few weeks.

At the same time, it is recommended to keep your phone up-to-date at all times. There are currently additional updates available to applications like Social and Calendar. All available updates can be checked from the software update application on the phone or in Nokia Suite application in PC.”

And our Care Team also has two more messages to share:

Nokia Music update via Software Update -app:

If you have updated your Nokia 603, 700, 701 or 808 PureView to Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2 (software version 113.010.1506/113.010.1507) and Nokia Music does not launch anymore, you can easily fix this. On your phone, just go to the Software Update –app and update wirelessly to the latest version of Nokia Music (v16.40.2). Or alternatively, you can also install the latest version via Nokia Suite – Software Updates.

We also recommend updating to all the available application updates in Software Update -app to get the maximum Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2 experience.

UMU MS Full application:

Before attempting to update your Nokia Belle phone to Nokia Belle Refresh or Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2, you should uninstall the UMU MS full application (a third party application that could previously be downloaded from Nokia Store) if you have installed it to your phone, as it can cause the update to fail. Furthermore, if you update via Nokia Suite, the UMU MS full application will reset your phone when you launch it. Therefore we recommend uninstalling the application.

The UMU MS full application has been removed from Nokia Store. The problem in the application is under the investigation of a third party. The application should not be reinstalled until issues have been fixed by the third party.

In case you have downloaded and paid the UMU MS full application from Nokia Store, contact Nokia Care to receive a refund.

Best regards,

Yvonne from Nokia Care”

The Nokia 808 PureView is now receiving the Nokia Belle FP2 software update. The update will also be available for the 2nd generation Symbian^3 devices which will include the Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and the Nokia 701.

The update first appeared on Navifirm and was quickly taken down. Then Nokia released the update through the Nokia Suite and decided to take it down again.

However several users have managed to get their hands on the update which is 452 MB in size and carries the version number 113.010.1506. Since this was the same version which was leaked through Navifirm, we aren't certain if it is the final build of Nokia Belle FP2 for the Nokia 808 PureView.
