Nokia 8110 4G jailbreak that doesn't break updates - world's first!

[Lux Ferre]

This is the jailbreak process for Nokia 8110 4G which allows you to install own apps from SD card or even internal memory without patching system partition.

Note that you will need Firefox 52.9 ESR (with working WebIDE) and ADB set up to do this. Your data will also be wiped during the process.

1. Update the phone to the recent firmware available.
2. Dial the *#*#33284#*#* (*#*#debug#*#*) secret code with your keypad. A bug icon should appear in the system taskbar above.
3. Connect the phone via ADB. If WebIDE does not see it, run adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket command and then set WebIDE to connect to "Remote Runtime" at the localhost:6000 address. If an error message about build date mismatch appears, you can safely ignore it. If the connection doesn't work, try rebooting the phone, running adb forward command and connecting again.
4. Download and unpack the standalone OmniSD package. Select its folder in the "Open packaged app" of WebIDE.
5. Run OmniSD with green triangle from WebIDE.
6. If everything is fine, press # when the utility is run and confirm the prompt to run the privileged factory reset.
7. After the reset is complete, "Developer" menu should appear in the "Device" tab of Settings. Enable debugger in the "ADB and DevTools" mode or use *#*#debug#*#* code once again.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 5, and OmniSD will be installed on your phone and ready to accept the app packages.

What is the app format accepted by OmniSD?

OmniSD accepts app packages in the .zip format. An archive must contain application.zip file (with the actual WebIDE-compatible KaiOS/FFOS app), update.webapp file (can be empty but must be present) and metadata.json file in the following format: {"version": 1, "manifestURL": "app://[your_app_id]/manifest.webapp"}, where [your_app_id] has to be replaced with the actual ID (origin) of your app registered in the manifest, and manifest.webapp has to be renamed if it's called differently in the application.zip archive. Other than that, the application structure in application.zip must match the general KaiOS and Firefox OS app structure (see developer.kaiostech.com for more details).

Hello,

Well done Luxferre!

Quick question, what certificate and tool do you use to sign the zip ?

Regards,

Sylvain

[Vicky]

I can't connect my Nokia to WebIDE this way. I downloaded Firefox ESR 52.9 on Windows 10 and Debian 9. On Windows 10 I tried both the 32bit and 64bit version and on debian 9 just the 64bit Version of Firefox. On both systems I couldnt establish a connection. When I used the newest version of Firefox ESR on Windows, I was able to connect the device on there but couldn't load omniJB on it. So my guess is that the newest software version of my Nokia 8110 might be too new. I am using Version 12.00.17.06 . Does anyone have an idea how i can connect my phone and load omniJB anyways? 

 

[Ivan]

hi Vicky, I also use Debian (testing/sid). Try this:

# apt-get install gigolo

[Vicky]

Thanks for the fast reply.
I installed gigolo and still try to figure out how to connect using gigolo. Can you tell me how to connect with gigolo?

[Ivan]

Vicky, it must working simply connecting the phone with the pc. If doesn't work restart the pc and start the application, or install gvs:

# apt-get install gvs gvfs-backends

Unfortunately, I can not connect to the banana.

*#*#debug#*#*
the bug icon appear

terminal

input: adb forward tcp: 6000 localfilesystem: / data / local / debugger-socket

output: error: no devices / emulators found

adb is installed

working on linux ubuntu 18.04

What can I do ?

[Ivan]

have you tryed to reboot the phone?

adb reboot

afther this repeat the operation. You must have Firefox ESR 52.9

[John-David Deubl]

must be exact Firefox ESR 52.9 or younger  63.0 ?

[Ivan]

Only Firefox ESR 52.9 (or younger I think). The motivation is that Firefox OS has stopped his development in 2016. WebIDE was a tool used for Firefox OS development in that period. For now you can only make applications on acutual Firefox versions. Think that KaiOS is a fork based on Firefox 48, and now we have the browser version 63. The same motivation because we can't use Hangouts or GooglePlus on this phone......for now.

Installing a defunct version of firefox ESR (52.9) can be a little tricky and note that you cannot use a newer (quantum) version without NPAPI support

For linux you will need to compile from source, the compilation failed for me but ymmv. There is an AUR package available.

On Windows you will need to clear the firefox profile folder, that is found in %appdata%, or just uninstall firefox completely and do a reinstall.

If firefox tries automatically updating then you might need to disconnect your internet adapter when installing OmniJB as firefox is known to not respect your preferred update settings.

I dont know if there is a precompiled version available for mac, but who uses that trash anyway? :)

[John-David Deubl]

@Linux you can put Firefox59.2 in /opt 

group and user root

so firefox can not update itself 

[Getz Mikalsen]

I dont think the firefox automatic updating problem exists on Linux, only a windows thing.

Also, you should rather use chmod but firefox cant run as root anyways.

[John-David Deubl]

In my environment it runs smoothly

Ubuntu 18.10

Download firefox 52.9esr (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.9.0esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-52.9.0esr.tar.bz2)

Try :

cd Downloads

tar -xjf firefox-52.9.0esr.tar.bz2

cd firefox

./firefox

 

Works for me. If firefox auto updates just delete it, and untar again.

[Dhruv Sharma]

It just opens a window in my latest version of firefox not 52.9

[Ivan]

Here are all the versions of Firefox 52.9 for all the platforms. 

Try switching off your internet connection. I prefer do all with Virtualbox on a virtualized OS.

[Dhruv Sharma]

I am getting an error, "IDB. _dB is null" on Firefox 52.9 Ubuntu 18.04 while importing omnisd on my comp. How do I fix this?

[Ivan]

try this https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-esr-52

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/firefox-esr-52
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

[jkelol111]

You have to create a separate profile for your old Firefox version by running ./firefox-bin -p --no-remote

[Dhruv Sharma]

I tried both these methods but both give me the same result as before

[John-David Deubl]

pls try to install ff 52.9 in /opt

Hi, am new in this group and I really like what you are currently creating!

I´ve got a question:

Is it possible to remove/uninstall it completely if needed, without any traces of the installation and if yes, how is it done?

Yes - this 'soft' jail-break is revertable --> factory-reset would be the easiest way.
(the other 'hard' jail-break is revertable too - but their you need a dump of your system-partition -- not so easy on v13)

[Hossain Mohammed Shoaib]

Hi Patoi

I still seem to not be able to connect my 8110 to WebIDE. It shows up on adb devices but it doesn't show up on the IDE. I tried connecting to remote runtime localhost:6000 after executing adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket command on the terminal. Can someone help.I am using Ubuntu 18.04

I managed to connect my device in ff installed in /opt but I couldn't change the language to english and there was an error but I couldn't read it. Moreover, I tried to open OmniSD but it gave me the idb null error.

[John-David Deubl]

I think this is the english version: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.9.0esr/

do you installed adb ?

http://omnijb.831337.xyz/

[Dhruv Sharma]

Installing 52.9 esr in /opt directory still isn't working for me. I still get the error IDB._db is null when I try to open OmniSD and my remote runtime fails to connect.

[John-David Deubl]

Can you see your phone in file manager, so it's "mounted" ?

[Dhruv Sharma]

Yes. I even run adb devices and it shows up there

[John-David Deubl]

try to reboot your phone adb reboot and than  adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket

[Dhruv Sharma]

WebIDE is telling me that the connection has a more recent build date than my desktop firefox which could cause DevTools to fail. Should I ignore that? Opening OmniSD still tells me IDB._db is null though.

[John-David Deubl]

yes you can ignore it.

try to click on the button in the ff ide: external runtime environment

and restart your computer and restart your phone and don't forget point 2. and 3.

http://omnijb.831337.xyz/

for me it not has also works straight away

[Dhruv Sharma]

Hi, I finally got to the point of getting OmniSD on my device. It was installed but after the privelaged factory reset, I could not see any Developer menu in the Device tab. Is this an error or did OmniSD not install properly?

[John-David Deubl]

did you make point 7 and 8? 

[Dhruv Sharma]

I managed all the way till step 7 but in step 7, I cannot find Developer menu under Device tab in Settings

[Dhruv Sharma]

and for some reason, now the run button is greyed out.

[speeduploop]

Most of the time this means your FF did an auto-update... :D

[Dhruv Sharma]

Yeah, I just checked. FF updated in /opt

[Dhruv Sharma]

I completed all the steps listed but OmniSD app tells me that it doesn't have the privilages. What could be the reason for this?

[Adil Jaffer]

With a freshly downloaded Firefox 52.9 on windows 10 and internet turned off, I can’t get past the error message saying IDD._db is null
Even if I ignore that, the play button is greyed out so cant run the package.
In ads devices, the phone shows as connected...
any ideas?!

[Dhruv Sharma]

If your device is connected to WEBIDE, then you have to delete your Firefox profile. If it doesn't show up, execute "adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket" then from WebIDE, select remote Runtime and connect to localhost:6000. That should do the trick.

[John-David Deubl]

If you use ff as your default browser you can creat diferent profiles: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

[Adil Jaffer]

Thanks Dhruv and John - that worked a treat. The simplest things sometimes!!!

Really pleased with the device now I can WhatsApp. Will deal with the crap t9 for now and persist. But other than that, the whole thing is ideal.

Thanks again.

If it helps: My cellphone firmware is 13.00.17.01, my firefox version is 52.9.0 ESR (64 bit), cellphone is in secret debug mode

I can successfully connect my cellphone to adb and I can successfully use the remote runtime
Also: my cellphone is on port 6000 and I am running windows 10 build 17134
Thank you all for your time I can't wait to use Omni

I removed the unsafe way and patch file itself from the http://omnijb.831337.xyz/ website. It's deprecated and no longer recommended anyway.
