How To Get A Certificate To Sign Unsigned S60 Apps
There are a lot of ‘unsigned’ applications floating around the web, partly because part time developers either do not have the time or money to get their applications signed via the Symbian Signed program. While quite a bit of such applications can be signed via the Open Signed website, some cannot be and quite frankly there are times when we are simply lazy.
For all such reasons it is best to have a developer certificate with which you can sign the files on the phone itself and install without having to bother with any other method. The following tutorial will show you how to get a certificate (generally within three hours) and is much easier than the OPDA method.
HOW TO GET A CERTIFICATE FOR YOUR S60 DEVICE
- Simply visit http://isign.imobile.com.cn and sign up for an account.
- Fill in the required details, use can even use a fake address. Just keep the username and password in mind.
- Follow the directions in the screenshot.
- Now enter your IMEI number.
- The website will display a confirmation.
- Now the wait begins. When I tried, I got my certificate in about 3 hours time. If you are not already logged in, login to see if your certificate is ready.
- If you see a screen like the following, it means your certificate is ready for download.
- Thats it, now simply unzip the file and get signing. There is no need of a Sign Key pass code.
The best part was that I could do all of this lying in bed, right from my N97’s browser. The bottomline being that I got a developer certificate in less that 3 hours without needing a computer. The next step is to sign the application from the phone itself, guide coming soon. So make sure you subscribe via RSS or Twitter.
Thanks Simran!

Do i need to request a certificate everytime i want to sign an unsigned app ? or can one certificate be used multiple times ?
You only need to get the certificate once, after that you can sign as many files as you like.
I followed exactly as indicated in the article but at the last step when I downloaded the zip file there was nothing in it. Empty!! That is really strange!! What did I do wrong?
Vaibhav i have done it all but cannot seem to get the page where i can download the certs
Rishminder, since the page is in chinese it does become difficult to find the correct tab. But if you try and memorize the place you need to click from the screenshots I am sure you will be able to find the link.
Caycee, I tried getting the cert for another device and it worked for me, so may be you can try again!
You don’t have to wait without knowing, if you look in the text after your IMEI, you can see the date it will be available from >_<
I’ve managed to download the 3 files as shown in your last step, and unzipped them on my PC’s desktop.
Now how do I install/sign the cerificate on my Nokia E63?
Please help.
Incredible
Got some cert files straight
Now time to test !
If you would like to know how long it will take rather than wait. go to google translater copy the text from where you see that screen with your imei number and paste it in the field. I submitted mine today (23rd July) and I Got this back.
“Your serial number (*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#) has been submitted, the certificate will be held at 9:30 on July 26, 2009 after the entry into force! Please be patient.”
3 days I have to wait lol. I suggest if you are having problems following the screen shots. Copy and paste the whole page.
Thanks to Vaibhav Sharma
nice work.
just did it, and got the files straight away, without waiting at all
i stil didn’t get the certificate after 1 days?????
I spent all week getting my 3 phones registered. It usually took 2 days to process. I also made a video of how to sign programs on ur phone here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIgvUkqTAT4
Thanks again to Vaibhav Sharma for this awesome writeup!
The date keeps changing. August 5th, then 6th, now 8th. It’s been 5 days. I hope I’m able to get the certificate eventually.
I have done this a couple days ago.
The download button is there but the zip file is corrupted.
I have tried it multiple times and on different computers but no luck
tried making a new user and entered my imei but it is connected to the corupt zip file.
anone a good idea?
@ scorty,
I ran into this same problem, and I fixed it by removing the Chinese letters from the end of the zip file.
@naypalm
Thanks the zipfile opens now
I’ve waited for a day i thought you said it will take for three hours only….
its been four days and my certs still has no results . there was a date after i requested the certs. when i viewed the site at the date given the certs are still not available instead the date was moved .. so sad
mine as well kip on changing with the date …. now it maeks me wait for 3 more days… how sad as well
It possible that with all the growing cert requests they have been getting (as the site became popular), they are not being able to cope up as quickly as before. This is still the easiest way, if I find something better, I’ll be sure to let you know.
yup tnx vaibhav coz the date on getting the certs kip on changing… its almost 6 days now and i havent ogt my certs yet.
Well, I would change the title of the post, as a 6 day wait period would not qualify as “quickly” even having room full of monkeys typing the certificates themselves. Hope the wait will be worth it…
i tried using all your links to do this, however, thier site must have changed because it does not give me the option to chose the green bar and then enter my imei.
and, since i do not read chinese, ….. :/
can you please update this to reflect what is on the site now?
I just tried it, the layout is the same and the green bar is still there.
s1m3n, I have taken your advice and changed the title.
I’ve tried this method 2 days ago, and my waiting period will supposedly end on 16th August only. That is 7 days since I registered…
There is no other way to do this? I still have to wait at least 5 days…
1 day, no code. :/ still waiting.
I’ve noticed that the site remembers your last action on the site on logut. So, if you get “lost” on the site and don’t find the message box with your IMEI number again, you won’t find it easily after logging in anew either.
The solution is: click on the 14th. symbol from the top in the left hand column (should be a notepad with a pencil) and then on the 2nd tab on the new screen to come back to your message screen.
Btw; I’ve just registered and got the “delivery date” set to Aug. 19th (= 6 days lead time).
BR,
Chris
It appears that is indeed very busy on that site as I registered today 14th and will have to wait until the 20th. Should have done this a while back I guess. Thats what I get for procrastinating I guess
It said on the site I had to wait until 16th, and I got it today, the 15th
Ok, i followed the tutorial and registered my imei last night. Now i’m supossed to wait till 21st to get my cert (4 days minus few hours cause of the time zone differences;)). I’ll let u know about any progress. By now thanx Vaibhav Sharma for the tutorial, it makes this chinese forum quite easy-to-use!:)
im still stuck at the end here. i extracted the files
but how exactly do i sign apps??
I requested for the cert on the 15th but its 3 days alrdy… the date keep moving back.
I went to OPDA and S60(english site) to get the cert but till now i did not received it yet. S60 site said it will take 24hr to 48hr. Even no cert from OPDA. Is it cos my IMEI got prob?
Vaibhav, when the cert can be download? i already registerd.. thx..
they keep delaying it wtfffffffff!!!!!!
This is a good tutorial, thanks for providing. Unfortunately, my wait for a certificate is one week, also. Which is a bit shit. Hopefully it’ll be worth the wait.
Thanks, too, to Christian for pointing out where to find the message screen – I could’ve spent a month trying to learn Chinese and still wouldn’t have figured that out.
您的串号(3—————3)已提交，证书将于2009年08月25日9:30 后生效！请耐心等待。

Your serial number (3————-3) has been submitted, the certificate will be held at 9:30 on August 25, 2009 after the entry into force! Please be patient.
^
Pls Delete my IMIE
only delays
I can’t even get the page to load — any help?
i have been waiting for 7 days now…
initially, the day was set to 20/8…
then extended to 21… now 22 at 18:00
in fact i already a free signer i got from some site and the files contained in it are key.key and cert.cer
while the .key file opens on my phone, the cer file shows some error. also when i try to sign the files, i have to self sign.
so i have come here to generate new key and certificate… hope it works
Can’t believe it… Waiting since more than a week now, just won;t gice me the certificate. Everytime I look there is a new date. Why do they provide you with a date when in it is not true anyways?
wtf,, they keep delaying and delaying. WPxDominion is right.. Chinese lie. maybe that’s what this is about.
Yeah, it looks like they put an infinite hold on everyone’s account. Oh well, I’m glad that i got my 3 phones setup b4 the block.
@supra_freak, check out my youtube video, it explains what to do with the cer and key files. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIgvUkqTAT4
Wow, I received my certificate… theoretically…
Everything looks like on the picture in the tutorial with one difference, there is no link to start the download… I don’t get it…
Great, as I just figured out you don’t get any more certificates but (very slow) downloads of two different sign tools. Still downloading the second one but the first one is in chinese and I can’t see how to get my file properly signed…
Here is the text regarding change from certificates to tools (translated by google):
“With immediate effect, after the success of the certificate application need to use “Mobile home online signature tool” to sign operation; the previous application and binding certificate users can still download the certificate file, you can also use the “mobile home off-line signature tool” to sign.”
Well… my date still keep changing (like yours, guys)…:/
WPxDominion, where did u get the information about these tools instead of certs from?? I don’t see anything like this on my ising account. Was it after your cert had been published (theoretically)??
Damn, i guess most of us desperately need own certs and it looks like chinese are only playing around with us…:/ (hope i’m wrong!)
@ curlsky
Yes, after my (hundredth) date when my certificate should be ready, a big green checkmark like in the tutorial above appeared but there was no link to download anything. Ten minutes later I tried logging in again and instead a simple download link as expected there was a drop down list with two entries, both in Chinese. Downloaded both and the files were called signtool and signtool2. Both are in zip files. However one zip file was corrupt and I was unable to unpack it. The other was ok but I was unable to use the tool as I don’t understand the language at all… lol
Anyways, as I just wanted to add these transitions to my N97, I just payed 5 bucks and received a signed version of the hacking tool you need for that. About 7 hours after payment via paypal I recieved the file and it works fine. Now my N97 is hacked, equipped with nice animations, and makes much more fun…
Hey,
I got the certificate from this site a while back, but everytime I try to install a file like ShakeSMS, after I’ve signed it, I get the error when trying to install: “Cannot install protected content by an untrusted supplier” or something to that effect.
In my app settings, it says not to check, just install.
What gives?!?
Thanks!
WPxDominion, thanx for the answere. Now i have the same situation: big green checkmark appeared, there is a dropdown list, two “signing tools” and all the stuff… But no cert:/ And i’m afraid these “tools” are useless. Any idea anyone??
Yeah, I just saw that Signtool and Signtool2 BS on imobile.com.cn. It looks like they gave up on giving out the actual cer and key files and just gave you the signing program for the PC. I think one of them actually does do it online and signs the sis file, but this is useless to me as I like to do it on the fly on my phone. Hopefully a better site will come around and some kind soul will post it up here on thesymbianblog.
same as above only got to d/l signing tools and no key or cert, but managed to figure out the online signing tool, if it’s any use this is how it worked for me:
- signtools2.exe is the online signing tool
- open signtool2.exe, dialog box appears on screen
- enter your username (registered with imobile) in the top field in that box (field preceded by ‘???:’)
- press the button (highlighted with green) to the right of that field to confirm your username
- the next line (preceded by ‘??????SISXX??(????)’) has two buttons – the button on the left is to browse for the application to be signed (once the application is selected it will populate the application box, explained below); the button on the right is to clear the application box
- the next item is the application box – it will contain the application to be signed; as well as using the buttons described above, you can drag & drop applications into that box
- below the application box are two buttons – please ignore these until after the next step
- the very last field (preceded by ‘?????:’) is the location of the output directory – this can be changed using the button to the right of that field
- now to sign the application return to the two buttons directly below the application box; provided all the fields have been correctly populated then pressing the button on the left will sign the application, sending a copy of the signed application to the output directory you have specified (I haven’t been able to figure out what the button on the right does).
Hope this is some help, sorry it’s a bit long winded
@ nowitworks
Thanks for that man, I got my signing tools this morning, and had no idea how to get the damn things to work! I’ve not tried your advice yet, but I will, and hopefully you’ve taken the headache out of it for me.
thanks nowitworks/…
the method suggested by you has worked for some files.. but in case of others it is giving some error (i think as it is unreadable being in some other irritating language and no signed file is generated..)
but the things are totally different from what Vaibhav Sharma had told like there are no cert / key files inside..
there are 2 tool files –
1 is the phone icon in red
other is some disc in blue
steps told by ‘nowit’ are for the 1st one and they are totally working for some files.
can u provide guide for the blue tool
thanks
sorry not sure what the blue tool is, the only things that extract from the zip file for me are signtool (the red icon) and an internet shortcut to imobile.cn (that’s a blue icon on my screen, but don’t know if that’s what you’rereferring to)
I’ll post up a tutorial with pictures and all if you want
I got my app signed a moment ago using the above instructions, thanks!!
Yes, Brennan. Thanks!
Gr8 for “nowitworks” I got signed files
‘Nowit’
i am referring to the other tool. if you go to the page (where you have to download your tools) once again, you will see that just beside the download button there is a another button where you can scroll down. When u do this, there is one more option. Select the other one and then press the blue download button. this will download the other zip file namely ’signtool’.
just try this.
For those who are frustrated with chinese, that notice translates to:
“To ensure the stability and longevity of our certicate services, newly approved users must sign their application with our online signing application. Users who were previously approved can sign with either of the offline or online signing application, provided that you have downloaded the certicate already.”
The dropdown menu options are:
Online Signing Tool
Offline Signing Tool
(nowitworks)
solution worked a treat n95 8gb, at least until i upgrade firmware
and see if it works on latest version of n95 8gb anyone confirm?
(siddharth) -sorry, I misunderstood – like wonderous said one of them is the offline signing tool and the other is the online signing tool. I think you need cert & key files for the offline tool (which will d/l as ’signtool.zip’), it’s the offline tool (which will d/l as signtool2.zip) that I was describing.
Mr Vaibhav Sharma. pls help. i waited for 3 days and all i got is a signing tool not a certificate. i followed everything in your instructions.
@ nowitworks
this way we do get a signed app right on our PC but it hieds it in the following dorectory “C:\Users\Rohan Kumar\AppData\Local\VirtualStore”
All the files we sign are stored here.
@ ALL OTHER PPL Seeking help–
STEPS:
1. Do whatever nowitworks says
2. close the program
3. navigate to “C:\Users\Rohan Kumar\AppData\Local\VirtualStore” (Vista or Win7) or “C:\Users\Rohan Kumar\AppData\VirtualStore” (XP or 2000)
4. Find the file you just tried to sign.
5. Install it to phone.
I could successfully sign & install gnubox this way to my E63!

Hi, I did follow the steps above in order to get the recuired files for signing, but I got only to download two different zipfiles containing a few signing tools (I think, I can´t read the chinese text…) Unfortunately I don´t know how or what to do with them. I didn´t get any cert, nor key-files…
Anybody able to help?
how come i got .exe files instead of .cer or .key files?
refer to the post above from nowitworks (about 20 posts above this one)
i did everything above but there’s still no .key and .cert
i followed nowitworks guide and its worked, what i did was drag the HelloOX2 file into signtool application and then hit the left button basically no need for the .cer or .key files. thanks!!
YO THANKS A BILLION TO THAT nowitworks dude i was trying this all morning till i come and read the post “hits myself in the head!” why didnt i do this sooner!
hey thanks alot i signed 1 app thanks alot
but i have a problem with some applications wen i try to sign them nothing happens why is that????????????????????????
thanks a ton
imobile no longer let you download the cert & key, you have to use their tool to sign files online.
I got a certificate from http://cer.s603rd.cn/ and I managed to sign helloOX2 with their software but having problems with something else.
Now I’m waiting on a cert from OPDA, seems to be most reliable even if you do have to wait.
please send me the certs….im having trouble..i got the “signntool” thing…not the certs..please send it to reilavened@ymail.com…thank you very very much..
You guys rock!
Got my tools for signing in less than an hour from imobile.com.cn.
Signing an app is now a 10-seconds job
Thank you very much for the time you have invested to help others.
Great thanx, nowitworks!!:) I was helpless with these signing tools and your tutorial helped me to make use of them. Now my phone is perfectly hacked:] Thanx once again!
I want to ask all of you, I have a lot of problems about App S60 3rd when I install it. The problems is “Certificate error plz contact…” this problem it entangled about Unsigned App right? Could it resolve about this problem? Would you mind if you tell me, or send your answers to my email(boyphea@yahoo.com)? I’m waiting for your answers!!! Thank you before!
Why I can’t download: “http://theme.esqimg.com/eshequn/isign/theme/isign/SignTool.zip”? when nearly complete it error also… Why it have no .cer, and .key files to download? What did you tell about it? Please help me!!! My mail: boyphea@yahoo.com What’s matter?
Hey. I need some help! The problem is, that I cant install the Hello0×2. I simply CANT! I am trying to get a signed Hello0×2 for over a 5 hours now! I am VERY VERY VEEEEERY fcking angry becouse ITS JUST NOT WORKING OMFG !!!!!
I did all the things above but when i got the certificate and downloaded it i got some .exe files instead of the .cer … did i do wrong ?
Hey guys,
I figured out an easier way to sign them rather than using that app.. once you’re registered, simply go to http://isign.imobile.com.cn/upload.php and upload the .sis file you want. The system will sign it online and give you a download link. Works well!

great thanks to NOWITWORK…..

thx!!!!!!!!!!!
heyy.. can you help me???? i tried that but what it gives me was .exe files.. it doesnt has the .cer and .key, can you please help me.. anyone?
The site does NOT give out .cer and .key files anymore. What the DO give out is an online signer to sign your application through. The one you want to use is Signtool2.exe (The first dropdown Link). How you use it is explained HERE : http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9130/signtool2exe.png
can some1 help pls ? … i have a nokia n97 … i did all the steps and i recieved the confirmation but all that i got its a program named “signtool.exe” and i cant install it on my phone because i don`t know how to make my phone to read executables (”.exe”) … i didn`t recieved any “.cer” , or “.key” … what should i do ?
i did what naypalm`s link says … and i have signed my helloOx2 application. i put it on the phone but when to install it`s says online certificate failed … is there any settings to my phone that can fix this?
I tried it and i got the tick mark in the end but i don’t see the same link to download the certificates as shown in the bookmarks… help
I’ve tried it myself, and its done within 1 hour. It wasn’t much of a hassle for me since I can read some Chinese.
Signed a couple of useless unsigned files off the net just to test and works wondrously.
Thanks naypalm for your wonderful screenshots and replies!
FAQ and HELP
NOTE: The site has changed probably due to symbiansigned.com. DO NOT EXPECT .cer and .key files. You will be download a flash program (scanned with AVG Free, its virus free) which helps you sign your unsigned files WITHOUT you having the .cer and .key files.
So you will not be seeing the same download link or downloaded files as the screenshots you see in the original blog post.
“The site does NOT give out .cer and .key files anymore. What the DO give out is an online signer to sign your application through.”
For those who commented that they have waited for over a day but still see the same page as when they’ve just submitted, it just means you have to refresh the page for some reason. You’ll probably be brought to a login page to relogin with your username (not email) and password. After which you will have to go back to the page.
If I’m not wrong the timezone of the website is GMT+8. I can’t tell if the time is based on the sever or your PC as I’m in the same timezone as it.
If you recieve such a message, (in fact, you should)
“证书状态
您的手机串号 358984xxxxxxxxx 对应的证书已生效！
有效期至2012年09月15日。”
It means it is successful and the date means the date of expiration.
If you need additional help just read naypalm’s replies and screenshots.
“The one you want to use is Signtool2.exe (The first dropdown Link). How you use it is explained HERE : http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9130/signtool2exe.png ”
Once again, thanks naypalm!
Hope this helps.
‘please read all the comments before posting your query’
Hope the author may change or make a new post with regards to the changes.
oke. i followed every step until i got to the donwload part. At that point i noticed 2 links.
-one had SignTool2.zip (978KB) * signtool.exe (different size/icon)
-the other SignTool.zip (3.326KB) * imobile.html
* signtool.exe
* signsis.exe
But no files like mobile.cer or imobile.key
(
What should i do…?
oke. i finished reading all of your comments and guess what? they were helpful. thank you all. oh and a big tnx to 3vilMTV
Here is the help you guys need:
Since there is only a online tool to sign the files you guys just need to go to the 5th tab on http://isign.imobile.com.cn/upload.php and upload the helloox2.v2.01 to sign it with your details and then apply it to phone, and then … VOILÁ !! You can install everything you want on your phone
i dont get an imobile.cer and .key file… but a signtool.zip ..
maybe you know how to get a cer and key now ?
Hi guys!
None of the above stated way works for me. Using the signtools2.exe the way nowit and naypalm described doesnät work at all. I get some crazy error message, no words, just a bunch of letters and numbers. I cannot even confirm my usernamne the way you guys explain.
What is wrong, and what can I do to get this or some other way to work. I have been trying out over 10 different ways so sign apps now, yet without any success.
I have a Sony Ericsson Satio btw.
Please please help me!

That error message is normal. It’s basically a “your sis file is signed” message. Look around where you specified your destination (see #4 in picture link below) and you will find your signed sis file.
Also, check and make sure that you followed the steps explained in the image below:

[...] the application with a 17 capability developer certificate which you can easily get by following this post. Next sign the application on the phone itself, using the Free Signer [...]

I’m sure Naypalm have already said about it no longer giving cert files etc many times. The file (.exe) is an application for you to sign your files online without having a cert.
I’ve posted a quick guide about 14 comments above after doing it myself with the help of Naypalm comments.
locau gave a great idea too.
No problem, Coco. Thkx for letting me know it helped.
For those of you getting the 2 different files, unzip sign tool 2. That is the only one you need. Double click the sign tool app. after it is opened enter your user name that you used on the imobile website, enter this on the first line. Next drag your app that you need signed into the large box. the third line is where you will enter the destination folder for the signed app. finally click the button with the 2 chinese letters on them and your done. I just signed magickey with this and it loaded onto my phone perfectly
When I enter my IMEI number in both fields and then click the green button I get an error which roughly translated tells me I have entered an incorrect code. Have tried it about 5 times and it does the same thing. I have definately entered the IMEI code correct. Have double checked it multiple tiomes on my N97.
Anyone getting the same error?
hello, i got up to the verification screen. i cant log back in to check my status. it keeps redirecting me to a screen with 2 blue tabs and the number 1 on it. nothing else. any ideas of whats wrong anyone?
works perfectly …. thank you …..
Hi
I follow all the instructions to obtain cert and key in the chinese website. And after waiting 1 day, I obtained two files. But there’s no cert and key inside. Only .exe. Two applications “signtool.exe” for the PC.
Any sugestions? Thanks
Best regards
