PA type installation does not work anymore after first removal

1 replies · 0 views · Started 30 August 2006

Hello!

I have a problem that is stressing me alot:

PA type installation does not work anymore after first removal on several
3rd edition devices:

- Plug a memory card with a signed PA-type installation on a 3rd edition
device
- For the first time the installation is made automatically with visual
indicator "Installing"
- After first removal of the application from the device using "App. Mgr."
next installation don't work anymore. The reason differs from one device to
another. E.g.: 3250 (firmware v3.23, 15-05-06, RM-38): after first removal
the application image is damaged so no further installation can be done
('private' folder is removed). This does not happen on E70 (firmware
1.0610.05.07, 30-05-06, RM-10). Further more, application installs but does
not start on N93 (v10.0.025, 12-07-06, RM-55) and N92 (v2.0631.0.0.8,
01-08-06, RM-100) - 'cannot execute file for security reasons'.

The PA type installer is Symbian Signed and the devices were re-flashed last
month with the latest version available.

Can anybody help me or give me a detailed report on this issue?
Do I have other solution for pre-installed application deployment?

Hi,
What's PA? Pre-installed Application I'm guessing.
I'll be most interested to find out about that too.
Cheers,
S.
