Some interesting facts. not yet tested on all phone but please test yours and let me know the result here.

1. C:\private\10000850\
contains the mbm file of operator logos

2. C:\private\100059c9\start.dat
some kind of autorun trigger. I couldnt decode this file, but it is it, I'm sure.. Why I think so? Because only after renaming or moving this file, autorun doesnt work. In all other cases apps start.

3. C:\private\10202be9\20001079.txt
this location.. in this text file there is code, and a line which says :

0x00040006 string "clockspeed" 0 
0x00040007 int 332 0

on line 41 and 42 of the file.. overclocking possibility maybe?

4. In Z/private/101f51f2/PKI/96b7db19a4d...../
it has files in called

devicecert.der 
deviceprivatekey.der 
signningcert00.der 
 signningcert01.der

or in Z/private/10203636/security/trustroots/device/certificates/

nokiaonlineca.cer 
 PCA3ss_v4.der 
 thawtepremium.cer 
  UTI_Root.der

click on any of them it says save certificate.
then when you click save it says new cert might be unsecure save anyway? i ant got round to clicking save yet lol

5. C:\PRIVATE\101F4CD2\Content\appshelldata.xml
this file contains the whole menu layout (N82)

6. I found some huge file in phone, c:/private/102072c4/reserved.bin, 4.5 Mb size of plain 0xff.
Deleted it and free up phone memory check if your phone has one.
the files are for FOTA (firmware over the air) coz when i remove it, and go to the device mgr. app it reapears, so its safe to remove it, we wont need it as we never get any FOTA updates.
