Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9 [0.1.1]
I N C E P T I O N Your phone is the scene of the hack Interim Release 0.1.1 The Nokia N9 is an amazing piece of hardware running an amazing mobile OS. However, advanced users have often been frustrated by its sometimes-limiting Aegis security system. Aegis, like many other security frameworks, blocks many legitimate tasks beyond truly dangerous activity, and makes it difficult to customize your N9 to run on your terms. This problem is one of the past: INCEPTION allows you to assume direct control and liberate your Nokia N9's full potential. INCEPTION is:
INCEPTION doesn't disable or remove Aegis by itself - it just puts you in the driver's seat. The success of this project relies on building a community of users with access to such packages, so please spread the word and help make sure no N9 user is left in the dark. The INCEPTION website provides comprehensive information on capabilities, risks, and instructions for getting started. Instructions and download: Official site Chat about INCEPTION: #inception on Freenode Note: The developer mode update released on 2012-04-16 prevents the previous version of INCEPTION, 0.1, from being enabled. If you have installed the recent updates, make sure to use INCEPTION 0.1.1 in order to become incepted. If INCEPTION has improved your N9 experience, a small donation would be greatly appreciated - scroll to the end of the official site |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
With great power comes great responsibility.
Does this mean that developers will be able to make use of inception to produce apps with deeper access? |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
WHOOO!! This is great. Now we just need to wait, what all developers and hackers can made from this :D

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Ohhh this is very welcome! But.. how does it work? I don't mean the user manual, that's clear enough, but how can it work? What technique is employed? There's some signing going on in the source code, but how can that work if you don't have Nokia's keys?

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
thanks, fully working, opensh now have all maemo caps.
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Code:
~ $ opensh |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Sweet! Now I can feel what it's like to really own my n9! Thank you!
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
All I can say is wow.
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
RATS! How come this gets announced AFTER I purchased a Galaxy Nexus...
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
sorry for my newbishness (coming from Android and still learning stuff) but will this allow kernel mods?
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Awesome!! This just put a smile on every Nokia N9 owners face!!:)
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Could you describe how it actually works? The fact you mention not upgrading the OS suggests it may be exploiting a security hole? (which is worrying from a "I don't want malicious apps trampling all over everything" POV)

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
It would be GREAT if somebody could find a way to overclock N9 with this Inception!!

What.. How... Where...
Give me instructions, and I shall pay you many gold :D |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Do things/apps that normally use Aegis keep working?
(In other words, can I keep Facebook, Gtalk, MfE,...) |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Amazing!! with this we can flash custom kernels without having to reflash all the phone, good news no, excelent news!!
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Among many applications and software, if Inception opens the doorway for Easy Debian it will be a wonderful advancement!
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
That's great , now let's wait for overclockers . :D:D:D

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Stupid, but very serious question. This is a very welcome thing... does this mean that folks really didn't "own" their machines before Inception? I know how Aegis got in the way of certain things, but this cannot be labeled a "jailbreak" or root, can it?
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Currently, you need to flash the open kernel with the phone plugged into a PC. Would the Inception exploit allow on-device kernel flashing?
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Can we bend walls with inception?

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Inception + Opensh causes a reboot loop. Finnish 64 GB, #059j187
I can still boot the phone with Code:
sudo flasher --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset --enable-rd-mode EDIT: Removing inception and opensh did not solve the problem. The phone shows the waves on the Nokia logo, and reboots much further in the boot porcess. Any ideas how I can fix this without a reflash? I can still boot in R&D. |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
let's hope this will not prevent upcoming firmware upgrade ...

Remember that uninstalling INCEPTION doesn't revert changes you made yourself - it only undoes the adjustment to Aegis. |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
qole, of course, just need to reconfigure NOLO. i know one man who can do that.
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
You can't belive how much I have to thank you. At the moment I got some trouble with aegis and thanks to your tool, I know now, that it was NOT a bug in my code nor aegis. ;)
Just in the right moment. Thank you very very much! :) |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Nobody explained how it works yet?
I don't really get it but it seems all the interesting stuff is in the .sh files. It looks like it uses chroot and remounts the filesystems to temporarily gain access to some protected files used by dpkg/aegis when installing. It then patches in a dummy entry at the end of the file that can be used when installing later. Now, someone explain how wrong I am :) |

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
So, it's like rooting an Android device. Nice. But think I'll wait til I see some good apps that absolutely need this access level
|
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
this thing is great!
but as I mentioned in the Nokia & AEGIS open-mode topic, is something like this possible without Aegis? |
Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9

EDIT: I will try to incept again with only filebox and meescan installed. EDIT2: Incept was successful, no reboot loop. Will try to incept opensh now.. EDIT3: Opensh didn't cause a reboot loop either. Is it possible that using a reboot app is what caused the reboot loop? |

Re: Announcing INCEPTION: Deeper access to your N9
Does Inception allows to use chroot ? For example, to run Qole Easy Debian without Harmattan open mode ?
