Here in my step-by-step tutorial, not only it will let you install N-Gage 2.0 on your phone, but it will let you install almost allUNSIGNED/EXPIRED-CERTIFICATE applications!!! That's right! you read it right, UNSIGNED APPLICATIONS!!! But you can also use my old tutorial found on the archive, that doesn't have the ability to install UNSIGNED applications.
(I've renamed some of the files or mostly of the files for it to be easily recognized, again)
Phone firmware must NOT be updated to the latest version!!!

Corresponding InstallServer for these phone models:

Nokia 5500 (if this won't work, use InstallServer_for_Pre-FP1.zip)
Nokia E50 (if this won't work, use InstallServer_for_Pre-FP1.zip)
Nokia E51 (if this won't work, use InstallServer_for_FP1.zip)
Nokia E61 / E61i (if this won't work, use InstallServer_for_Pre-FP1.zip)
Details:
InstallServer.exe is a file that helps you install almost ANY APPLICATION that you can get. A very important file for you and me. Secure the one that you need and extract it.
2. N-Gage 1.10 Build 1318.sisx
Details:
This is the N-Gage 2.0 Application released on August 26, 2008 officially for Nokia 5320 XpressMusic and N96, that I have repacked. You must have atleast free ~6Mb on your phone memory even if you install this on your memory card.
3. 20001079.txt
Details:
As I've found out on my own experiments, this file can be found or cannot be found on your phone (regarding which phone model you have). This file houses every (I think) screen resolutions handling your phone has, giving you the ability to play on landscape or not. In my opinion, it is not best to overwrite this file if you already have it. Put it this way, you have your own default phone settings (your phone own resolutions) then replacing it with other phones default phone settings (could be different resolutions and settings). Not a good idea isn't it?
4. N-Gage_Patch_xxxx.sis
Details:
BiNPDA patch file. This file replaces the "trial bar" to a "progress bar" on the N-Gage application, works ONLY for BiNPDA ******* games.
5. LCG X-plore
Details:
I have included this file explorer and it's keygen on the archive so you don't have to ask on what file explorer to use. Got it?
6. Hello_Carbide_by_FCA00000.sisx
Details:
An on-phone **** made by FCA00000. This gives you the ability to disable the Platinum Security of your phone, much the same as BiNPDA's Security Manager v1.0. The difference is BiNPDA's Security Manager is acquired through MetroTRK or AppTRK, which the new firmwares are not compatible with, leaving them not able to install N-Gage 2.0. BUT, HelloCarbide is a .sisx installer that can be installed through the phone, manually, giving those who has new firmwares the power to be ******. YES!!!
NOTE!!!
As of my experience, the only way to bring back to default is by restarting the phone. This file must not be used lightly unless you know what you are doing. Use on any other purposes besides the one being said on my tutorial AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Special Tutorial for the REAL N-Gage 2.0 compatible phones
For N-Gage 2.0 compatible phones (N81, N81-8gb, N82, N95, N95-8gb, 5320 XpressMusic, N96) (firmware must be updated to the latest version), download the latest version on the official website for your phone, then follow these steps:
1. Install the official N-Gage 2.0 Launcher on your phone.
2. Follow all steps in Chapter 1.
3. Follow Chapter 2 - Step 2 ONLY.
4. Follow all steps in Chapter 3.
*CHAPTER 1* = *Preparing for instalment*
Step 1 - "Installing HelloCarbide.sis"
Install HelloCarbide either on your phone or memory card. After it's done, you'll noticed that you have a new application called HelloCarbide (without an icon). Don't open yet.
Step 2 - "Applying the proper InstallServer.exe"
I assume that you already have installed LCG X-plore, if not, install it first. Now open lLCG X-plore (must enable "Show Hidden files and Show system files/folders"), DO NOT EXIT but switch (press and hold the menu button) to your standby mode then open HelloCarbide. You'll notice that it has no welcome screen or what-not, just press Options -> Menu1 -> Yes. If done correctly it will close itself. Now you have all the capabilities on your phone, much as BiNPDA's Security Manager. Now switch back to LCG X-plore. (You must not open any other application other than LCG X-plore). Copy the proper InstallServer.exe on ("C:/sys/bin") (if there is no "bin" folder, then make one). Exit from LCG X-plore. Do not do anything else, just restart your phone. Move on to installing N-Gage 2.0.
*CHAPTER 2* = *Installing the N-Gage launcher to your phone*
Step 1 - "Installing the N-Gage application"
Install the N-Gage application to your phone or memory card. Continue installing the application by always approving on the warnings, and the missing OS pipes.
Step 2 - "Installing the N-Gage Patch"
Just install it.
Step 3 - "Copy 20001079.txt to private parts of the phone a.k.a. ******* the phone"
You can skip this step if your phone is either 3250, 6290, E70, N73, N76, N81, N93 / N93i, N95 / N95i / N95 PR2.. Now check the FAQ above about playing games in landscape mode. Secure the xx_20001079.txt that you are going to use and rename it to 20001079.txt. (I would suggest that use only the ones for your corresponding phone.) First open LCG X-plore (must enable "Show Hidden files and Show system files/folders"), DO NOT EXIT but switch (press and hold the menu button) to your standby mode then open HelloCarbide. Press Options -> Menu1 -> Yes. If done correctly it will close itself. Now switch back to LCG X-plore. (You must not open any other application other than LCG X-plore). Copy the 20001079.txt that you are going to use to ("C:/private/10202be9/"). Overwrite if needed. Exit from LCG X-plore. Do not do anything else, just restart your phone.
*CHAPTER 3* = *Installing the N-Gage 2.0 games*
(There are quite some difference from BiNPDA's necessary game instalment, to my way of BiNPDA games instalment. Either way, you could follow whichever you want. If you want to follow mine, read on.)
Step 1 - "BiNPDA games"
You should have downloaded or got the BiNPDA games by now. And you should come up with the game installer. If not, I think you should ask somebody about it from where to get it here and what to do about it.
Step 2 - "Game transfer" <- the difference
You must now got the game installers (xxxxx.exe files), and BINPDA told you to install it via MetroTRK connection. But I found a better, faster way (I guess, for me, because my computer doesn't have any USB 2.0 Port. And installing via MetroTRK took me 20mins+ just transferring the .n-gage files. Yeah, it's pretty outdated, I mean, REALLY outdated) So on to the procedure, don't connect your phone to your pc just yet. Open the game installer that you've found (make sure it's BINPDA *******). Install it just as you would have connected your phone to the pc. Click the check boxes: got n-gage application, and no need to install BiNPDA SecMan application. Now you're in the MetroTRK automatic com port detection, just click next. then it will say that MetroTRK could not connect to phone, and then you'll see that there's an option saying that you could extract the file to the pc. What the hell?! So just extract it to the pc, the file will be on the directory where you've opened the game installer. Now all you need to do is transfer the .n-gage files to your memory card in "E:/n-gage/" (if there's no "n-gage" folder, then make it). Now you got games? Yes, but not yet installed. Move on.
