Nokia mobile phones such as the N-Gage running early versions of the Symbian OS suffer from a very common problem widely known as the White Screen of Death or simply WSOD. This happens when the internal memory of the phone becomes so full that the unit can no longer boot and becomes virtually unusable. To solve this, the memory, referred to here as the user area, must be formatted. However, professional flashing equipment is needed to achieve this and nowadays it is hard to find such equipment for sale. More than often, manufacturers, which cloned official service hardware, sold it in addition to hardware licences in the form of a dongle. Also, as new devices would come out, old ones would literally be rendered unusable by the manufacturers via the internet or sometimes by malware-infected software released by competitors. There is official software with which some of these devices can be repaired and reactivated with, but access to reliable information is anything but trivial. This project is not an alternative to professional flashing equipment, but aims at offering the possibility to make older Symbian phones affected by a simple WSOD usable again by leveraging open-source software and DIY hardware. The project is based on a STM32F103C8 microcontroller board a.k.a. a blue pill board.
