Steps To Procure Certificate And Key For Signing Symbian Application

In one of my previous post, i wrote about how to install unsigned applications on symbian (s60v5) mobile phone (Nokia 5230, 5233, 5800, N95, etc). I explained 2 ways of hacking our phone to install unsigned applications by either paying for the HelloOX2 hack or getting key and certificate manually. What i didn’t mention and wasn’t clear about was the topic of “Procurement of certificate and key” for your mobile phone. In this post i am going to explain the procedure to get a certificate and key for your mobile phone.

Before detailing the process, please note that this procedure involves submission of your mobile’s IMEI number. Moreover, there is no method other than this to get hold of certificate and key. So submit the IMEI (Can be accessed by dialing *#06# on your mobile phone) details at your own discretion. Moving on, follow the simple steps given below to get hold of certificate and key unique to your mobile phone :

Create an account at OPDA (Click the link for English version).
Now login to your account and click on “Apply Cer”.
Fill in the asked details (carefully submit IMEI details) and click on “Submit Application”.
Thats it! Now under “My Certificate” tab, a pending status will be shown. So keep checking your account to see if certificate and key have been received or not. It took 3 hours for me to receive certificate and key, however it is advised to wait at least a day in case you don’t receive file within hours.

Now after acquiring certificate and key for your follow the steps given in the below mentioned post to sign applications for your symbian (s60v5) phone and get the most out of your internet mobile phone!

Try again in a different browser, chrome or IE. If opda still gives error then try this website s60certkey.com

And NEVER EVER disclose IMEI of your mobile in any forum, blog, website, etc. It’s not recommended.
christian January 15, 2011 At 11:00 pm

Sign the application first before installing. Follow the above mentioned steps to do so.
christian January 13, 2011 At 9:08 pm

Paritosh November 18, 2010 At 12:27 am

If the .cer and .key files are appearing in your account then try again in few days or maybe a day later, it might be a opda server issue.
gowtham November 17, 2010 At 12:58 pm

HelloOx2 doesn’t blend in with Nokia 5230/5233/5800 well. And FreeSigner allows you to sign the application, it does NOT hack your mobile.
ali October 11, 2010 At 9:57 am

Hi
i bought nokia 5233 .and i installed lot of application on it .but that time i don’t know exactly that i face this problem .problem is that when i install helloox2 or free signer then it show me on mobile screen that certificate expired.i got cer and key .but it still does not hack .please tell me some tips bro.i will be thankfull to you .
Paritosh September 28, 2010 At 11:41 pm

Please read the above article to know about .cer and .key. And OPDA is facing some problem these days. I’ll suggest you to wait, it should not take more than a week at most.
razer September 25, 2010 At 10:57 pm

whats .cer and .key i applyed it on cer but still no its in applying process…..will it take hours,days or month to get it???
Paritosh September 25, 2010 At 7:40 pm

The above mentioned procedure doesn’t cost you a single penny. After procuring .cer and .key. Follow instruction in this article: http://www.techvorm.com/install-unsigned-applications-on-nokia-s60v5-phones.html

And if you are concerned about warranty of your mobile then follow “UPDATE 1” as given the article. Your warranty will not be affected.
razer September 25, 2010 At 5:17 pm

do you know anothier way to hack it without paying to any site???? and if i hack my phone then will the warranty end of ma mobile???
Paritosh September 21, 2010 At 3:07 am

There is no such thing as danger. Chances of your IMEI are very very very low. And as a matter of fact there haven’t been any reports of misuse. Make sure you don’t share your IMEI publically.
shubham September 20, 2010 At 11:07 am

what is d danger in giving imei no??
shubham September 20, 2010 At 10:57 am

what is disadvantage of providing IMEI no??
Paritosh September 7, 2010 At 12:50 am

HelloOX2 doesn’t blend in with Nokia 5230/5233 (and other variants). Try the other methods given above. Let me know if you still face any problem.

Login to your account at OPDA to know if .key and .cer have been generated or not. In case not, then apply again.
ahmed August 29, 2010 At 12:17 am

hey!! its been 7 days but opda is still in appying state!! what do i do??? any other way to get cert or key?? help plzzz
Paritosh August 22, 2010 At 1:40 pm

Be patient, it can take a while. And keep on checking OPDA’s site at regular intervals as they won’t notify you via email.
ash August 22, 2010 At 12:18 pm
