Tutorial: How To Root Nokia Asha 5xx & Uninstall Pre-Installed Apps.


New Nokia Asha series phones( 501, 500, 502, 503, 230) have a major issue of low internal memory and this memory keeps on decreasing time to time.The users are forced to reset the phone after the memory reaches the limit. So the users must reset the phone once in every 2-3 months, for works smoothly .


Now with this new trick, you can uninstall/remove all those apps that came with the software update. These include Nimbuzz, Line, Wechat, Nokia Chat, Pocket apps, Cricbuzz etc. By removing, you can save upto 10-15MB of internal storage in your device. It will be a good idea to remove all apps  as you can install a ‘removable’ version later from Store. It is highly recommend you to take a backup of your settings as you will need to reset the phone in the last step.

Here we go:
1. Download and install System Digger v1.0 on your phone.


2. Run the app, Press the Root button.
3. Select and delete the files which you want to remove from your phone's internal storage (Be careful, don't accidentally remove files like OviBrowser, NokiaInAppPaymentEnabler etc.)


4. Goto the homescreen of your phone, the icon of the all apps which you have removed will be little diminished.


5. Now you can permanently remove all those icons(diminished) by reset your phone.
6. For that open dial pad and dial *#7370# and press OK.


*before reset your phone don't forget to take a backup(settings>Backup>Create Backup)

  6. It is recommended to use UC browser instead of default browser. After download those JAR files which I've uploaded, open file manager and locate that file, rename that with .jar extension (E.g. File_jar > File.jar), then try to install that file by tapping on that.

  17. I have this weird experience with Nokia 501 OS platform 1.4. Calls are placed automatically even the phone is password protected. This happens at a particular time of day and while the phone is in my trouser pocket.Usually the last number called is picked by the phone. I will be more than glad if you have an answer to this enigma. My fear is if this phone has been taken over by hacker through some bugs in Nokia OS. This not happens everyday. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING IS IT HAPPENS DURING A PARTICULAR TIME OF THE DAY. Your help is appreciated in advance.

  27. Hi! I hope you'll see this comment :) In 2022 this site looks like my last chance to find the answer... Would you help me plz, is there any way to get access to the 501's internal storage (not to the removable sd card) from PC or Linux via usb?

    1. My problem is that there are some media files on my 501, which were removed, and now are needed for me. So I'd like to use some recovery tools like PhotoRec(Testdisk) to try to recover these files. However, first of all I have to make a usb connection, but I know no way to do that...
