How To: Get Certificate To Sign and Install Unsigned S60 Apps

If you find files you want to install on your Nokia phone with the word “unsigned,” then you might want to read this. Here are sets of instructions to get a developer’s certificate to sign the unsigned apps and install on your Nokia S60 phone.

1. Register an account at OPDA. It’s in Chinese, but check the photo below to make it easier for you.
Register
2. Apply for certificate here.
Imei
3. Enter your IMEI in the first form. You can get this by entering *#06# into your phone.
4. On the second box, enter last 9 numbers of your mobile number and place 13, 15 or 18 before them. EXAMPLE: If your phone number is +44 20 12345678, then you type 18012345678.
5. Press the submit button.
6. After a few hours, check the My Certificates section for the cer and key files. You will need both to sign your apps.
Cer and key
7. Use SignSIS to sign the unsigned app using the Certificate and key files you just downloaded. You don’t need to enter anything for the key box.

8. That’s it! Your app is now signed and can be installed. From now on, you only need to do step 7 when you find more unsigned apps.

    there's no need to register on the chinese site, just go to the english page and register there, then click apply cer. login again on the site you're redirected to, then click apply cer, and fill in the forms.
  • spinn
    Thank you so much for this I messed up tho and didn't do the 137 before the 8 digits so I may have to retry. Can you if you mess up?

    What you dont say is that for downlad the key and certificate you need op, thing you dont have when you register
    And even if you try to download with Thunder you still need one op for the procedure to work, or else all you are downloading is a php file
    And i tried to obtain op at opda participating in the forums, but i recieved nothing
    So...its not as easy as you say...
  • lucius
    oh man , thxx you're the best

    got the cert file, but canceled the download on the key file and now its not there any longer for download..so now I'm f....d?
  • Ian McVitty
    Mark,
    Is it possible that the procedure on the OPDA site has changed? I could not match your screenshots with the site images.
    I would really like to try this but cannot get started.
    Thanks
    Ian
  • Really thanks!. This Tut really helps me... ;)

    Hay,,

    I followed the instruction and it's all accepted. But I can only download my .cer file. I can not acces the .key. Every time I click on it I get a weird program to install. When I install it, the program helps me to download a file named: plugin.php. But I don't see how this file can help me. What have I done wrong?

    in the "download section" is a blue text and a red text. In the blue one I can acces this .cer and weird program. The red one says

    每次下载 cer 和 key
