Introduction.

In this tutorial i will guide you through getting your certificate, signing a sis and hacking your phone with the HelloOX2 patch in order to install unsigned apps. And obviously i take no responsibility for your screw ups, messed up your phone? not my problem.

(In my opinion this is fool proof and it’s almost impossible to cause any damage so don’t be scared, Smurf will hold your hand and everything will be just fine, Okay? Good.)

The first step to installing unsigned applications and/or games on your symbian phone is obtaining the certificate, it’s absolutely necessary wether you like it or not. The motivation for following through with this guide is: “Sign one, Install all”

Part One – Getting your certificate.

Let’s get started, find your phones IMEI number by opening the phone dialer and typing *#06# This number is unique for every phone and will be used to generate your unique certificate. Write it down.

5800-065800-IMEI

Did you know?
The International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a number unique to every GSM and WCDMA mobile phone, as well as some satellite phones. It is usually found printed inside the battery compartment of the phone. It can also be displayed on the screen of the phone by entering *#06# (Nokia) into the keypad. The IMEI number is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices.

Now that you have the IMEI you must submit it to one of those sites that will generate the certificate for your phone. There are a few different sites you can use, most of them are in Chinese, the one Im using is bilingual so it should be easy to navigate. Let’s get started.

  1. Navigate your browser to OPDA certificate website: [Link] (You can select English language in the top right hand corner)

  2. Proceed with the pictured steps below.

Note: Here are some possible errors you might get in Chinese and their translations:

step-3

step-4
step-5

Note: Phone number should be 11 digit starting with 13 or 15, that’s the format for local chinese mobile phone numbers, example: 13123456789

almost-there
step-6

Note: The certificate can be obtained as quick as within 6 – 12 hours but it can take up to 48 hours to generate depending on how busy their servers are, be patient.

step-7

So your unique certificate and key files are freshly baked and ready to be abused. Download both of them to your PC by clicking the corresponding links just to the right of the certificate state.

Note: When you download the certificate and key they might not have a file extension, make sure you name the files correctly! (Certificate should be called: “certificate.cer” and key should be called: “key.key”)

This completes the first part of my tutorial, you are now ready to sign.

Part Two – The Unsigned

Extract SISigner.exe to your PC, for convinience i recommend keeping certificate and key files in the same directory as SISsigner.

cerkeysigner

Open SISigner.

sisinger

  1. Select the file you want to sign
  2. Select your certificate (certificate.cer)
  3. Select your key (key.key) – Key file from OPDA is not password protected, keep password field blank
  4. Press the “Sign!” button (Your unsigned file will be rewritten, if you still need the unsigned copy, make a backup first)

Shortly you will get a message from command prompt that your file signing was a success. Close it.

You can now install the signed file to your phone

Part Three – To Hack or Not to Hack

Having a certificate lets you sign applications and games, which is good, but it can get troublesome after a while. Luckuly for us there is a better solution. You have the option of hacking your phone which will allow you to install anything and everything without having to sign it. This will give you the benefit of installing unsigned apps directly to your phone. If this is how you want to roll, read on my freind.

HelloOX2 is an One step Hacking tool for all Symbian S60 3rd & 5th phone.
Hacking mean that it can get full access to your phone’s system folders and files, with this capability, HelloOX2 could install a root certificate to your phone, and with the root cer & key pair you could sign any apps to install, include the Manufacturer capabilities requested apps. Completely fix annoying certificate error!

This is an Unsigned Application so you still must sign it with your OPDA certificate, if you have actually been reading this tutorial and not just scrolling through you would remember these words: “Sign one, Install all”

Sign HelloOX2 and install it to your phone.

Almost there, Find the newly installed HelloOX2 on your phone and open it, everything will be done automatically and takes less then a minute, doesn’t get easier then this!

The technical stuff about what it’s going to do to your phone is nothing for you to worry about, but just in case you are curious here it is:

1. Map drive
2. Unpack Hacking files to the virtual drive
3. Activate the file system
7. Unmap virtual drive
4. Install root certificate
5. Optional Install ROMPatcher (by Zorn, leftup)
6. Optional Install Modo (a full system files access file manager by leftup)
8. Done!
Notes:
ROMPatcher is just a bundle app included in HelloOX2, it is not supporting by us, applying install-server patch in it should let you install any unsigned apps.

Okay-la Watch it in action in the following screen shots from my Nokia 5800 (Monkey see, Monkey Do):

HelloOX2 has finished hacking your phone, all that’s left to do is activate the certificate patch, you will notice that a new app has been installed called ROMPatcher, open it and apply the Installserver_FP2 patch. Note: If you restart your phone that patch will be deactivated, to make sure it doesn’t, add it to auto start.
