Hi,

I had a chance to play with a Nokia 6680, which had VF firmware (vlive) in it.
After 30 minutes I realized that I cannot install any! Symbian application onto the phone.

Always the same error message: Security error. Install cannot continue"

I'd got an instruction to change a setting in the phone menu Tools/Security settings/ ... in an earlier topic. I can tell you now, I tried everything, but no success!
Doesnt matter if you change the security settings, it just wont let you to install any sw!

Somebody knows what else I should try? How can I install a Symbian application to this phone without reflashing the firmware and losing the vlive menu?

BTW I am using a 6680 with the non-VF firmware (V 4.04.07 22-08-05) where I can install anything what I want, no restrictions.

I is a kollege stoodent. Bee nice.

Interesting... I know all smartphones (both Symbian and Windows Mobile) can be application locked, but in reality this hasn't been done - not much sense in selling a smartphone that can't have new applications installed.

I will try and follow up this...

Backblaze cloud backup (personal and business) | Geekzone broadband switch | Amazon (Geekzone aff) | MightyApe (Geekzone aff) |

My technology disclosure | Business Transformation | Enterprise Content Management | Customer Relationship Management | Sharesies investment fund

Its nothing to do with the device sold by vodafone all you do is go in the menu of the handset and change one setting.

tools-app.manager-settings-software installation (turn on this option) and now you can install any ap you like.

I have NZ FW on my Nokia 6680 (NZ new) V 3.04.12 and have installed many aps from many websites no issues.

Thanks johnr, I was searching in the wrong menu then. I thought it's under the Tools - Settings - Security - Certif. management

I will give it a go next week.
