Here’s some informative content regarding the Nokia N95 RM-159 / RM-320 / RM-331 and the concept of RPKG files in the context of custom firmware (CFW) and exclusive ROM releases.

An RPKG (Resource Package) file is the container format for Symbian OS system resources. Inside an RPKG, you would find: Part 4: How to Flash an RPKG Exclusive (Then vs
When Nokia released an official firmware update (e.g., v20.0.0.16 to v35.0.0.43), the flashing package contained dozens of RPKG files. However, the phrase "RPKG Exclusive" refers to something else entirely: custom, leaked, or developer-only ROMs that were never meant to see the light of day.
To understand the value of an exclusive RPKG, you first need to understand Nokia’s firmware architecture. The Nokia N95 runs on Symbian OS 9.2 (S60v3 Feature Pack 1). When Nokia built the firmware (ROM), they didn't compile everything into a monolith. Instead, they used a package-based system.
Think of an RPKG as a blueprint for a specific module. It is an XML-like scripting file that tells the phone’s flashing utility (like JAF or Phoenix) exactly where to write files to the phone’s disk structure. But more importantly, an RPKG defines dependencies, patches, and exclusive hardware calls.
