If you own a Nokia Symbian S60 phone, you will most likely be aware of the fact that it is not possible to install applications on it unless they are signed using a valid certificate. Have you been trying to install applications on your S60 3rd or 5th edition phone but ending up getting a certificate error? At times, this can be really annoying; but here is a smart solution to this problem!
Here in this post, I will show you how
to hack your Symbian S60 3rd or 5th edition smartphone, so as to modify
the phone’s firmware and completely bypass the mandatory signing
requirement. So, once you are done with this one time hack, you should
be able to install any compatible application including unsigned and
those with an expired certificate.
What is the Need for Signing Applications?
From the 3rd edition onwards, all the
Symbian S60 applications need to be signed in order to ensure their
integrity, so that it would not be possible for a third party to tamper
with the application. Also, signing ensures that you always install
applications from a trusted source.
However, there are many freeware and
beta applications that come unsigned as the developers cannot afford to
buy a symbian certificate. Hence, it can be a real nightmare for the
users who need to install such applications on their phones. So, here is
a step-by-step procedure to hack your phone and permanently disable
this security feature.
1. Download HelloOX2 V2.03 or the latest version from the HelloOX2 Ofiicial Website.
HelloOX2 is an excellent tool
to hack Symbian S60 3rd, 5th and Symbian^3 smartphones which makes it
possible to install a root certificate by gaining full access to the
phone’s system files. With this capability, you can install anything you
want on your phones without the need to worry about the annoying
certificate error!
2. The signed version of HelloOX2
demands for a donation and hence, only the unsigned version is available
for free download. So, if you have the unsigned version, you need to
sign it before installing on your phone. In order to sign any
application, you need to have the certificate and the key file which can
be obtained as follows:
- Go to the OPDA Website, get registered and login to your account.
- Click on the “Apply Certificate” tab, enter the model number and the IMEI of your phone and then click on “Submit and Upload” button.
- It will usually take up 24 hours for your certificate and key file to be generated and uploaded. To check the status of your certificate click on “My Certificate” tab. If the certificate is ready for the download you will see something as follows:
- Download the certificate and the key file on to your computer. Also download the SisSigner tool to sign your HelloOX2 application.
- Open the SisSigner, load the HelloOX2.sis, certificate and the key file as shown below and click on “Sign”. Leave the “Key File Password” field blank.
- Your HelloOX2 application is now signed and ready for the installation.
3. Install the signed HelloOX2
application on your phone and run it to start the hacking process, which
is completely automatic. Within a minute your phone will be hacked.
Once this is done, say goodbye to the annoying certificate error
and install any application.
