calendar January 10, 2008

 I got this guide from N95Blog

Just wanted to share it, and have a reference for if i ever forget!

  1. Go to Symbiansigned.com and register for an account , the problem here is that it doesn’t accept publicly available email domains like Gmail.com , so you have to register with a private domain name a.k.a yourname@yourwebsite.com
  2. After Registration , Click on My Symbian Signed > Open Signed “on the left of the page” , then download a tool called DevCertRequest from the bottom of the page or direct link Click here
  3. Install the downloaded tool , then start the program ,
    On the left of the program , there is 5 steps so here’s what you do in every step :
    1- Specify the name of the output file , Just write any name
    2- Choose No in ACS Pub ID Available
    then in the private key ,click on the dots beside it and choose Sultan.key from the needed files , download these files click here , the password is : 0123456
    3- Type in your info
    4- Click on the dots beside the IMEI , then type in your IMEI “you can get yours by typing *#06# in your Phone” then click add then OK , in the application capabilities , add all the capabilities then click next
    5- Congrats ,Your .CSR file is now ready in Program Files\Symbian OS Tools\Developer Certificate Request\
  4. Go Back to symbiansigned.com , click on My Symbian signed > Open Signed “on the left” > Request “underneath it”
  5. At the bottom of the page , Browse and choose the .CSR file in the previous extension ” Step 3-5 ” , and click Send
  6. in the next Page , download the certificate by clicking download
  7. Put ALL the downloaded Files “from Step 2 ” , the unsigned application and the certificate downloaded in one folder
  8. Open Notepad and then click file > Open then choose the file auto_signsis.bat from the folder ,

    signsis FExplorer.sis FExplorer_signed.sis xxxxxx.cer sultan.key 0123456     <<< Appears in notepadsignsis OOOOOO.SIS Signedapplication.sis xxxx.cer sultan.key 0123456 << Paste this instead in notepad where OOOO is the name of the file of unsigned application and XXXX is the name of the file of the downloaded certificate
  9. Save the file in Notepad “don’s save as , just Save !! ” then open the file in windows , you’ll see that a new file is created called signed application
