Nokryptia - Linux MP3 to LSE Conversion Tool for the Nokia 5510 Mobile PhoneNokryptia is a program to convert music files like MP3 to work on a Nokia 5510 cell phone. The application itself does not know anything about USB, therefore you will need to recompile the kernel. The advantage of this aproach is that you can use your mobile as a "large" disk of 64MB. The utility also does not do any encryption, it uses in fact a bug in the encryption algorithm. Therefore, no actual encryption is done, which makes the program very fast in comparision to the official Microsoft-Windows program from NOKIA. RequirementsTo use the Nokia 5510 under Linux, you will need the following :
InstallingTwo steps are necessary to use your mobile in Linux. At first, you need to add a line of code in your kernel source. Look for a file called drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h in your kernel source. Add the following line of code: UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x0421, 0x0404, 0x0000, 0xffff, "Nokia", "5510", US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_BULK, NULL, US_FL_START_STOP), and recompile the kernel. For those who are not familiar with kernel recompiling, see the README file in the nokryptia package for hints, and consider looking for the Kernel-HOWTO . Update: This step has become unnecessary in kernel version 2.4.22 and up, as well as in kernel version 2.6.0. If you are running one of these kernels you can safely skip this step. If you are about to recompile a kernel, please consider upgrading to 2.4.22 or higher. At this point you should be able to mount the nokia device as /dev/sda1. See the README file in the source tree of nokryptia for further details on how to mount this device if you have any troubles.
The second step is installing Download
FAQ
Q: Can I use my Nokia HDR-1 together with nokryptia?
Q: When I try to compile nokryptia, the configure script says that id3lib isn't found, although I am absolutely sure that it's installed. What am I missing?
Q: I like this tool, but I'm not familiar with linux. Are there any good windows ports available?

WishlistThis program is still under development, however it is stable (which program is ever finished?). There is some stuff which could be very helpful to maintain my program :
I don't know if I am ever going to publish or implement the encryption algorithm, because it is protected by copyright law I think. Last update: Friday 5 December 2003 by Roel Derickx. |
