Latest fixes for Symbian Signed web site were put into production last Friday and appear to be working successfully. We have commenced with a restricted Whitelist, i.e. only allowing specific domains. During this week, we will phase in Grey and Black lists on account registration. The policy is:-

-- Whitelisted domains: No restrictions (typically companies with a Publisher ID).
-- Greylisted: any non public email domains with a limit on the number of accounts per domain.
-- Blacklisted: Public email domains and/or domains where there is a history of inappropriate usage.

As part of our new approach and to ensure all developers (even those with a public.

Updated 12/09/07 - DanscoAS SYMBIANSIGNED IS BACK THIS THREAD IS ABOUT HELPING MEMBERS SIGNING APPS. PLEASE TRY TO DO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OF THE GUIDE BELOW BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP!

:ilove:


The guide below is ONLY for members who already have a cert from symbiansigned and only questions about this can be posted here...


IMPORTANT NOTE: If you get a date or expiration error when trying to install an app that you dev-signed, make sure that the date format on your device (Tools -> Settings -> Date and Time -> Date format) is "dd mm yyyy"! Also see Catmark's (http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1665230&postcount=1000) post for more info.

More and more developers are openly providing unsigned beta applications on their sites. Examples are rotateMe, TaskSpy, and of course FExplorer.

DZed posted an incredible guide over on the Go Symbian Forum teaching the masses how to sign an unsigned SIS file. As most of you know, S60 3rd apps must be signed in order to be installed on a device.

Despite this guide, many people are still having troubles when attempting to sign a sis file. As such, I've compiled a slightly ammended guide that should clear up all of the question marks with regards to Symbian signing. Of course, all credit goes to DZed and Team 3G365...

Note: In this guide I will be signing an app called "xyz" as an example. When you sign a real app, simply substitute "xyz" with the actual app name.


TOOLS

1. SignSIS Files

2. Register an account on http://www.symbiansigned.com3. DevCertRequest Tool

3.This one is vital: https://www.symbiansigned.com/DevCertRequest_30_10_2006_v2.0.exeOr You can Use This One to Make your .csr file :: (Credit Goes to muhamad4u (http://www.ipmart-forum.com/member.php?u=373564))

http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1690752&postcount=1086

GUIDE

1. Create a new folder on your desktop containing the unsigned SIS and the two files from signsis_files.zip.

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3628/89085917ba4.png


2. Open the DevCertRequest tool that you downloaded and installed as per item 3 above under Tools.

You must now create a name and an output directory for the cert request you will be creating. Give it any name and choose the folder that you created in step 1 for the output directory. Then hit next.

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/5640/62534870hl6.png


3. On the next screen, check No. Then next to "Private key file" browse to the folder you created in step 1 and give your key file the same name you've been using. Then click on Open.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6856/48640576kt3.png


4. Make the password 0123456 and then re-enter it.

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/6453/64795312el8.png


5. Populate the required fields on the next screen with any data and then click next.

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/7852/19229244ra1.png


6. Now you will have to add your device's IMEI number to the cert. Follow the guide in the image below and if you do not know your device's IMEI, enter *#06# on your device in the standby screen.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8989/68202927wu5.png


7. Highlight all of the "Application Capabilities" and click Add.

http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/8956/18021617wd2.png


8. On the final screen simply click Finish.

http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/2944/73599765ut0.png


9. You will now see four new files in the folder you created in step 1.

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/130/77243901xv5.png


10. Now go to www.symbiansigned.com (http://www.symbiansigned.com) and log in.

http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/6389/40436351ga2.png


11. Click on the "My Symbian Signed" tab, then click on "Developer Certificates".

http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/9628/10gr9.png


12. Click "Request" under "Developer Certificates". Then browse to the CSR file in the folder you created in step 1.

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/390/11bk9.png


Once the CSR is uploaded, simply click on "My DevCerts" in the menu on the left and you will see a link to download your newly created certificate (CER file). Save it in the folder you created in step 1.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3507/12dh2.png


You now have everything you need to sign your SIS file.

Open auto_signsis.bat in MS Notepad. You will see that is currently contains the following:


signsis xyz.sis xyz_signed.sis xyz.cer xyz.key 12345Replace every "xyz" as appropriate. So if your unsigned file (and all of the files you named above) is called "MyApp", then the text in the batch file should read:


signsis MyApp.sis MyApp_signed.sis MyApp.cer MyApp.key 12345Save the batch file (choose Save, not Save As) and exit.

Now just go back to the folder you created in step 1 and double-click on auto_signsis.bat. Your newly signed SIS file will be created in the same folder for you to install and enjoy. :)

Update!Added uninstaller...

Excellent share Disabled. :) Now we have all tools and info for signing applications and games.

thanx alot guys..tutorials helped alot..app signed and working..one question tho..i saw that the certificate had an expiry date..does that mean the app will stop working then?

is it possible to use the same certificate to sign other symbian softwares??

Guys - I just added an important note in my guide (linked in post 1 of this thread) that will solve ALL problems involving date or expired cert errors. :)

How create my own private keys ?
Using makekeys ?
Could someone upload the makekeys.exe (can it run by it alone) ?
Since I can not download the SDK from forum.nokia :-( ...

Thx in advance !

Run, File->New session, Tools->DigitalySignTools

The you can make key file and self-signed certificate file

are you guys able to install themes or are you having a problem with every single sis file you are trying? There is a phone setting in your apps manager that lets you install untrusted developers and you have to make sure that is set to off. Let me know and I will try to help you guys out. If its a signing problem we can work that out easy.

Intersepto its as easy as making keftethes once you do it the first time.

Great! I had problems when I first started this too and it was all because of the name of the file and I couldnt get it right. What I did was just start changing the names of the files I was trying to sign to something simple and easy. Also, some of the files I believe are .sis and then some are .sisx. The name has to be exact and it should work.

Survivor, I am going to assume that auto_signsis isnt creating a signed file. Its all in the correct spelling, spacing, periods of the name of the file you are trying to sign.

signsis Large.Time.1.02.S60v3.unsigned.sisx largetime.sisx largescreensaver.cer sultan.key 0123456

this is an example but that underlined part is the most crucial because it is looking for that file you want signed. If its not exactly accurate it wont work.

survivor, it does make a difference. Dont worry we will get this figured out....ok

Example, I was trying to sign the Large Time screen saver and that one ends with .sisx and here is the line I used for signsis:

"signsis Large.Time.1.02.S60v3.unsigned.sisx largetime.sisx largescreensaver.cer sultan.key 0123456"

another one was ty1scrsaver an here is the one for that:

"signsis TY1ScrSaver_unsigned.sis TY1ScrSaver_signed.sis largescreensaver.cer sultan.key 0123456"

I should mention that if you're getting an error saying certificate is invalid or date/time on device is wrong, thats okay. Some apps take some time before their certificates become valid, so you'd best wait for an hour or two before you try to install.

Or change your phones time/date few hours/days ahead and then back. ;)

I've followed to guide but I'm still unable to sign any application. Nothing happens when i double click on auto_signsis.bat after renaming the files

i can't get the "BinPDA SiGNSIS v0.1" to work, it says application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission, contact your system administrator or use the Microsoft .NET framwork configuration tool

i have .NET 2.0 installed but it doesn't seem to work, and i can't see where to configure it? :S

I wasted a whole day trying to learn to sign and its the same story all over again. Im just not able to do it..Its so very frustrating :axe:

I have followed all the steps and I'm sure I havent bungled up on any of the steps...but in the end... No new sis file gets created. All I see is the some "DOS"-kinda screen pop up for a second but thats all about it. I have got a N73 ME. Can anyone care to throw some light on this please?

thank u to the person who create SIS Signer. It helps to solve my problems with this signing thing which have been disturbing me for days. Thank u, thank u :)

signsis U.sisx S.sisx certificate.cer sultan.key 0123456

rename unsigned.sis(or sisx) app to u.sis(or sisx)
and signed will be S.sis(or sisx)

you'll never make mistake while modifiing autosign and never have to modify anyway (because unsigned have alway sama name)

here is some advice

instead of saying aggghhh it didnt work again try this.

1) state all the steps you did
2) state where you had problems and what you didnt understand
Please help out the guys trying to give advice here because honestly I have no idea where to even start to help most.

So many people say that they clicked on the signsis file and nothing happened. This happened to me the first time I tried to sign too but its because I didnt have the name correct of the file I was trying to sign. Guess what it also happened the 2nd time too....hahahaha....and I am sure it will happen again to me because I missed a period or space or something. I knew I had done everything correct up to that step and I figured out that this was where I was messing up so it was easier for me to get help.

Davdemars had some good advice give it a try. I have renamed files to sign too and it worked but I never thought of just changing it to one letter. Simple and brilliant.

I have said this before and I will say it again. You must be exactly 100% correct in spelling of the file when editing the autosign_sis or it will not work. Also, read this entire thread because somebody may have had the same issues you are having now. I cant tell you how many times the things I just stated have worked for me here.

I have done all the process above and got my cert. I also signed the sis app using SIS Signer. But when i tried to install there is an error. "unable to install, constrained by certificate"

Please help!

I used your app and I got this error while trying to sign acm

"Could not verify signature with known algorithm, exiting.
Verification failure, invalid signature."

I have tried this with several of the helps described in this thread. I at first thought it was related to an error in the naming of the files and after shortening everything down to 1 letter, must assume it is a problem elsewhere. Any ideas?

I got it, it was in fact due to I had gone through so many name changes and attempts that my files were not matching.

very nice tutorials. have created the signed files by following the steps, just need to install them to see if they work on my phone.

thank you!

hi... wats wrong wen u did everyting rite den at the of the click of FINISH this comes out "Sorry, there were problems processing your Symbian Developer Certificate Request file" ?? where did i go wrong ? need HELP :) im using n95 btw.

This info is for Global Moderator by request but some of it can be used by others.

* Use the rar file attached NOT the one I sent you to make it easier, unrar it to your desktop. It should put a directory called "Global_Mod_Signfiles" which you can rename if you want, I have my directory called "signsis_files". If it doesn't create a directory, then make one with one of the above names.
* In that directory you will have files (in the 1st image) in it.
* Now put the file you are trying to sign in that directory.
* Now Edit auto_signsisn95.bat (right click & Edit).
* It contains the following info (the TomTom is an example) :-
signsis unsigned_TomTom.6.02.sis TomTom.6.02.signed.sis my_n95.cer sultan.key 0123456
* To change this to another app to sign, you need to change the red text to the name of the file you put in the folder and then change the blue text to the name of the file that this process creates. (I personally put .signed or _signed in the title so that you know its been signed)
* Look in the directory and you will find the file (which is the same as the blue text)
* Install this file as you would normally do.

Hope this is clear for you mate ;)

The files here will only work for Global Moderator as it's linked to his IMEI number. You get these after creating a devcert (see first post)

Hello

About the certificate, the mydevcert from symbiansigned said existing certificates, but the certificate is html, not *.cer is that correct?

And about the SIS signer, does it automatically rewrite the existing unsigned file?or does it suppose to create another one?

thx for the help


edit : done, sorry for the trouble.:oops:

Hi.. I understand the basics of signing. The problem i have is if there's no .key file supplied along with the app how do i sign it? Eg. Gnubox.
Do i use any .key file or what?

Secondly can a certificate once made b reused with another app provided i keep the .key file same?

I'll b really grateful if someone could reply!

Didnt you find the .key file in the posted attachment? You must have missed it. I believe the one posted here is sultan.key and the password is 123456.

Yes, a certificate can be re-used to sign different apps from the date of creation to six months. After that you either need a new certificate from Symbian Signed or push back the date of the phone for the corresponding period. But some apps will not allow a pre-dated certificate, so its best to get a new one after six months.

For all those who are facing problems similar to Global_moderator I suggest that instead of using the autosignsis.bat file, try to type the same command in the MS-DOS Prompt (command prompt in Win XP: Start>Run>cmd>enter key). The error if any will be displayed on screen. I earlier used to get a memory stack error while signing, which was due to faulty compiling of the signsis.exe file.

I have become a pain i know.. But still unable to sign.

Editing the .bat file the following content exists:
sign_sis Symbian.Guru.Phone.Guardian.v2.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9 .1-[TRIAL].sis Phone.Guardian.v2.00.signed.sis my_n95.cer sultan.key 0123456
I'm double clicking the .bat and it only flashes for one sec and nothing happens

My mistake mate, I made an error. I put sign_sis but it should be signsis. Try the below code and see if that works.

signsis Symbian.Guru.Phone.Guardian.v2.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9 .1-[TRIAL].sis Phone.Guardian.v2.00.signed.sis my_n95.cer sultan.key 0123456

I tried the following as you suggest:
signsis Symbian.Guru.Phone.Guardian.v2.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9 .1-[TRIAL].sis Phone.Guardian.v2.00.signed.sis my_n95.cer sultan.key 0123456


But no avail :(
it flashes again for one sec and nothing happens
I should better forget it..

Found out why that didn't work, I forgot to include the signsis.exe :oops:

So find attached the signsis.exe file and a signed version of Phone Guardian. Hope this works now mate ;)

This info is for Sid_N80 by request but some of it can be used by others.

* Use the rar file attached, unrar it to your desktop. It should put a directory which you can rename if you want, I have my directory called "signsis_files". If it doesn't create a directory, then make one with one of the above names.
* In that directory you will have files (in the 1st image) in it.
* Now put the file you are trying to sign in that directory.
* Now Edit auto_signsisn80.bat (right click & Edit).
* It contains the following info (the gnubox is an example) :-

signsis gnubox_s60v3.sis gnubox_s60v3.signed.sis sid_n80.cer sultan.key 0123456

* To change this to another app to sign, you need to change the red text to the name of the file you put in the folder and then change the blue text to the name of the file that this process creates. (I personally put .signed or _signed in the title so that you know its been signed)
* Look in the directory and you will find the file (which is the same as the blue text)
* Install this file as you would normally do.

Hope this is clear for you mate ;)

The files here will only work for Sid_N80 as it's linked to his IMEI number. You get these after creating a devcert (see first post).

I've used my previous post to Global Moderator and edited it for Sid_N80. Hope it works for you mate ;)

@ Global Moderator - Try this again with the new files attached for your new IMEI number. I've signed the file already for you and given you the files to do it again yourself mate.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. ;)

hi thanks for the tutor..
i have used it for two of my program's and it worked..
but i have a question ...do i have to upload every time a new file to symbian signed to get a cer file or can i use the old cer file...

and is this also with the key and crs file

thanks..

You use the same cer file to sign all apps. You only change it if you change your IMEI. ;)

If you change the key file then make sure you change the password too ie sultan.key and it's password is 0123456 so I don't use any other one. :)

I never said you should mate, I said "I don't use any other one". It works for me so I ain't gonna change it.

Oke ..thanks...

No worries mate. As far as I know there are two working keys I have seen that have been reported as working - sultan.key & BiNPDA.key. I'd rather stick with the one that works for me. ;)

Friends
i am having big Problem after signing Advance Device Lock.
Now its signed and licenced to my Phones IMEI
But now i can't make any Changes in Protection Apps or disable Protection :(
WHats Wrong Please can some help :(

thanks in advance

afzaal, you should post in the application's thread. also use regular-sized fonts. people here have no vision problems.

i think probably you didn't sign your app properly. eg didn't enable all the features when you requested for the certificate.

which goes back again to my question. is this the first time you signed an app?

I should mention that if you're getting an error saying certificate is invalid or date/time on device is wrong, thats okay. Some apps take some time before their certificates become valid, so you'd best wait for an hour or two before you try to install.

I managed to successfully sign 2 apps using the guide in this thread (thanks akks4). Then it all went wrong for me. I took toadpole's advice & it works! So in case anyone else thinks they have done the procedure to the 'T' try the above trick. Could save you alot of heartache!

Does to like, signed me Fexplorer? I attach you in the file.rar my certificate, the sultan.key and the last version of Fexplorer.

Thanks thousand!

P.S.:I don't succeed in producing the file sis signed of Fexplorer

Glad you got it sorted it mate. I have to ask though, how long is the cert valid for now? I got 6 months but some people have been saying it's only 2 months now.

Thanx for your nice comments mate. :drinkers:

Thanx for your nice comments mate. :drinkers:

Thats a rumor I heard too, but as far as the site shows its still 6 months from date of origin.

It may also depend to type of capabilities selected during creation of certificate perhaps...

I successfully signed my files with my IMEI. However, one of them, no matter what I do with the date on my phone has problems installing. I get a stupid message like "certificate is not yet valid/expired, etc". Can anyone point me in the right direction?


I tried waiting like suggested above but still the same result. Signed it 5 times already :(.

I read in the n95's sticky thread that some app had mm-dd-yy instead of dd-mm-yy for the date format. Maybe you should try that.

If this works you should thank jeanius. :)

I tried toying with the date 20 times so far :P.

Too bad. But are your date settings the same on the PC and the phone? I mean the date format. That could be an issue for the certificate file, but not sure...

Also, is this the only app you face the problem with or are all signed apps the same?

I had to do the basic thing like on windows :P....Reboot.

I am such a dumb*ss. Rebooted the phone and now it works :).

LOL! :lol: Moments like these remind me of my tech support days!

I'm glad that the signing process finally worked for you, believe me I had issues too way back when it was new...

Cheers! :)

Thanks for the input ;). Everyone has to start somewhere :D. We are not born all knowing ;). I signed it, it works ;) and this means I am on the right track. Just annoying that the symbian signed certificates are valid for 6 months ;). Usually when I "modify" my Vista I do it for good, if you catch my drift ;)

finally got it to work - but i had to rename the sis file to something without spaces to get it to work

guys i am a newcomer to s60v3 forum and i try to sign apps.i did all steps but i have two questions:

1)application is finally signed only for the imei i selected during taking certification process?

2)why when i upload some files on symbiansigned site and i wait the certificate request i finally get message below and i dont get any certificate to download?these i tried are for 9.1 for sure.what should i do?

I think they must be having trouble as a few people have problems too. I'd just leave it a day or so then try again, I know it's not a great help but without symbiansigned working there isn't much anyone can do :cry:

1)application is finally signed only for the imei i selected during taking certification process?

Yes. The certificate file is only for one phone (IMEI number).

2)why when i upload some files on symbiansigned site and i wait the certificate request i finally get message below and i dont get any certificate to download?these i tried are for 9.1 for sure.what should i do?

You should try again. Sometimes I get connection errors. But the site worked fine yesterday and day before.

Sometimes pre-signed apps have to be signed as well when their certificate file's date expires before re-installing them.

So have you been able to get the certificate file aristotelhs2060 or there problems still?

i have problem to get certificate file!i managed to get it only for one file!any opinions?i tried today and still the same message :( i just bought n95 if i cant sign <bad language removed>!

Terrible confusion! :|
You say you already created one certificate file and now you are trying another and its doesn't allow you. Thats strange I have created many certificate files for all my phones on the PC no problems with DevCert Tool...

You can reuse the certificate that you already have for the n95 for different apps, no need to create a new one for every app signing.

If I'm wrong then please elaborate or send me a Private Message. Here to help today!

I am having trouble installing my newly signed app.
I have generated the output file and when i try to install it, after accepting the liscence agreement, and choosing the destination (phone or memory card) i get the following error

Unable to Install.
Constrained by the certificate.

What does this mean?? Can you help me please.

did you enable all the capabilities when you created your certificate? try to go through the steps again and see if you missed something. look at step 7 of the guide especially. http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=146714
:) cheers!

peeps please read this
and tell me if you agree with me.

because i wanted to help sober with the signing process, i went to the first page of this very useful, very informative, most visited thread (viewed 23,266x since march 9, 2007) and i was shocked to find out that the guy who started this thread akks4 who had the initiative to make life better for all of us (well, aren't we all here discussing if there's a problem signing and stuff?) has, so far, only 272 rep points. :( i felt embarrassed by it becoz i remembered i went thru this tutorial a long time ago and i didn't even remember to thank the guy properly. we all know in iPmart terms thanks means respect, which means we have to press the repute button.

akks4, please accept my thank you. better late than never, i hope.

good job on a great thread! cheers!

if you agree with me,
don't forget to thank the one who started this thread!

I have gone through the whole process again and it still will not work. I enabled all 13 capabilities when the cert. was created. and ended up with my new signed file. Still getting the same error. I am using N73. Could it possibly be the app. that i am trying to install. I downloaded a theme that i am assuming was previously signed and then expired. Would this cause problems??

go to tools - app manager - options - software installation and make sure you've set it to all. if it's already set to that and you've enabled all the capabilities during the creation of your .csr file but you've got a certificate constraint still, i think something went wrong during the creation of your certificate. why don't you try to make one again and this time, really stick to the tutorial. i hope it works out for you. cheers!

I am still having no luck. Software installation is set to all and online checks are off. I have made 7 cert.'s now and i keep getting the same error. I followed the tutorial concisely, but now i am frustrated. I thank you for your help, but i am going to leave it for today. I might even try a different app next time, for i hope that is my problem. A dud app.

i see you've really gone through a lot of work trying to get it to work. maybe it's best you leave it for tonight. pm me your imei number and what app you are trying to install. i'll help you sign it tomorrow when i get back from work k? i'm going to bed now as well. i hope i will be able to help you more. +rep for your efforts! cheers!

remember: your imei plus app name to my inbox. i'll pm you when i'm done with it k? cheers! good night to both of us. :)

I am desperate.. for Warelex.Mobiola.WebCam.USB.v1.04.S60v3.SymbianOS9. 1.Unsigned.Cracked-BiNPDA.sis

congratulations NeDtHeOne, you get everyone's respect for trying! :) +rep from me, mr successful! :) cheers!

Lots of people are having trouble with signing unsigned apps despite using this thread so I've posted this and it's been merged with the other thread.

So here's how this post goes. You need to follow the instructions in signing thread (http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?p=1263423) BEFORE you can ask for help here and ONLY then.

You need to download signing_files.zip (http://www.ipmart-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=232982&d=1173544058) from the other thread and extract it to your desktop as a directory (remember what it's called as you will need it later).Then you have to follow these steps :-

1. You need to download this file
https://www.symbiansigned.com/DevCertRequest_30_10_2006_v2.0.exe

Note: In this guide I will be signing an app called "xyz" as an example. When you sign a real app, simply substitute "xyz" with the actual app name.


2. Open the DevCertRequest tool that you downloaded and installed as per item 3 above under Tools.

You must now create a name and an output directory for the cert request you will be creating. Give it any name and choose the folder that you created for the output directory. Then hit next.

3. On the next screen, check No. Then next to "Private key file" browse to the folder you created in step 1 and use the sultan.key provided. Then click on Open. Enter the password 0123456.

4. Fill in the Personal Information - Country, State & Company required but you can also fill in the common name, the same as the info put into Company.

5. Now you will have to add your device's IMEI number to the cert. Follow the guide in the image below and if you do not know your device's IMEI, enter *#06# on your device in the standby screen.

6. Highlight all of the "Application Capabilities" and click Add.

7. On the final screen simply click Finish.

-> You will now see new files in the folder you created in step 1. The important file you need for the following step is xyz.csr(or whatever you called it).

8. Now go to http://www.symbiansigned.com and log in.

9. Click on the "My Symbian Signed" tab, then click on "Developer Certificates".

10. Click "Request" under "Developer Certificates". Then browse to the CSR file in the folder you created.

Once the CSR is uploaded, simply click on "My DevCerts" in the menu on the left and you will see a link to download your newly created certificate (CER file). Save it in the folder you created.

Now you have xyz.cer file in the directory you created. You need to rename the file to xyz.cer.txt and upload it here as an attachment. Also you need to post the file you are trying to sign.


Now you need to wait for myself or another member to sign the files for you. Please don't post bumps or where are the files - remember that we are helping you.



I will be adding a guide to use the files to use on other apps shortly. This has taken me a long time to get this right so there maybe a few errors so bear with me. This thread has merged with this thread by nt_virus. Dansco:partyman:


This post is a edited version of akks4's (http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=146714) thread (which you should read before asking anything here). Also thanx to DZed who posted an incredible guide over on the Go Symbian Forum teaching the masses how to sign an unsigned SIS file. The Link was provided by echoz... Link converted to post by nt_virus.

This info is for Subrata by request but some of it can be used by others.

* Use the rar file attached only, unrar it to your desktop. It should put a directory called "Subrata_Signfiles" which you can rename if you want, I have my directory called "signsis_files". If it doesn't create a directory, then make one with one of the above names.
* In that directory you will have files (in the 1st image) in it.
* Now put the file you are trying to sign in that directory.
* Now Edit auto_signsis_Subrata.bat (right click & Edit).
* It contains the following info (the ADL is an example) :-

signsis WebGate.Advanced.Device.Locks.v1.02.S60v3.SymbianO S9.1.Unsigned.Cracked-BiNPDA.sis WebGate.Advanced.Device.Locks.v1.02.signed.sis subrata.cer sultan.key 0123456

* To change this to another app to sign, you need to change the red text to the name of the file you put in the folder and then change the blue text to the name of the file that this process creates. (I personally put .signed or _signed in the title so that you know its been signed)
* Look in the directory and you will find the file (which is the same as the blue text)
* Install this file as you would normally do.

Hope this is clear for you mate ;)


These files are for Subrata as it's linked to his IMEI number but I will be posting a solution for other members soon.

Or you could try this app that Disabled has posted but this is for people with trouble signing apps. Thanx anyway mate

im using sultan key and password is: 0123456
is it ok ?

Thanx a lot... nice thread.. very very helpful especially for people like me who don't know much about symbian applications.

im using sultan key and password is: 0123456
is it ok ?

Yes. The password is correct for the sultan.key you are using.
The password for BiN.key is 0000. Either way I doubt its the password thats the problem.

This is what I have personally noticed about the DevCert tool and the symbiansigned site-they work fine most of the time, but certain times its just impossible to get what you want. And I can't explain why... just seems to happen. :( So I suggest you try again after some time or perhaps the next day. As strange as it sounds, try it!

There Is Another Way To Install An Unsigned Aplication. Go To Settings-aplications-app Manager-software Installation And Just Select All... That"s All.....
It Works....

huh no one cant help me =(

Don't loose heart Pari! :)

App signing is troublesome no doubt, but if it doesn't work, we are all here to help. Give it one more try or use Disabled's SisSigner or Xpress Signer. They will get the job done IMO.

If all else fails just PM your IMEI number and the app that needs to be signed to Afzaal, Dansco or me and one of us will have it signed for you. It would be better if you could post you certificate request file (xxxx.csr) created by DevCert tool for us too...

Sir due her statement she,s Not novice with Signing apps coz she already signed app for her sis .
But right now shes facing some probs .
so i assume its OS prob.
Maybe Formatting PC will solve Prob definitely.
Sorry if i am Wrong here :(

Br.

No Afzaal, I don't think its the OS thats the problem. The tool is stubborn and I have faced plenty of error messages myself.

Also formatting the PC is no joke. It takes hours to bring it back to shape and frankly its a waste of time and effort if done by amateurs. Don't take offence mate.

We are going off-topic.
And don't worry Afzaal there are plenty of third party apps to recover your hard drive, but with most the problem also re-appears after some time. Norton Ghost is perhaps the most easiest to use but the most troublesome as well!
I do a format nearly every 2-3 months on the windows system-its a necessary evil for me. :(

When does this error appear mate? What step? ;)

When running the bat file! I tried with another app too, and i got the same error.

When running the bat file! I tried with another app too, and i got the same error.


install NET Framework 2
Sign ur apps with SignSiS.exe
Forgot Batch file Method ;)

Br.

When running the bat file! I tried with another app too, and i got the same error.

Sorry for my ignorance, but did you rename the .bat file with the name of the app?

Example: Rename the xxx.sis in the batch file to FExplorer_english_3ed_116b_unsigned.SIS if you want to sign FExplorer.

Or as suggested by Afzaal try SignSis or Xpress Signer both available in the forum-just SEARCH.

I used Xpress Signer and got the same error. And yes I did rename the file, and have .Net framework installed.

Please quote the exact error message again-I'm a bit lost...
Was about to go for lunch, but what the heck lets have your app signed shall we? :)

I used Xpress Signer and got the same error. And yes I did rename the file, and have .Net framework installed.

When Net FrameWork2(not 1.1) is Installed then Use
SignSiS.exe
that will do it (tested )

Br.

If you mean the one on the first page, I used it a few times, but couldn't get it to work. I thought it might be my computer (sometimes some programs refuse to work for no reason) so I asked a friend to do it on hers, and she got that error message "Error: Fexplorer.sis is not a SIS file"

I tried again with Xpress Signer and got that error.

install Net FrameWork2 its working finally

I have .Net 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 installed. Still not working, I just tried.

Edit: Here's a screenshot of the error I got. (The slashed W sign is a backward slash)

I made my own key and still I get that error! What to do? :(

there is no way to sign on an apple mac osx computer? i mean vwithout parallels or bootcamp. i hate that win s*it. any help will be appreciated..

I got it worked, batch-file method . . .

I installed and did everything as mentioned on the 1st page!

I only had trouble by making my own key, but this was because filling in a wrong letter/figure, before the private file was made . . . :-(

I made my own key and still I get that error! What to do? :(


OK
Attach the App which u wana sign
let me Clear it whats Wrong :(

Br.

I have .Net 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 installed. Still not working, I just tried.

Edit: Here's a screenshot of the error I got. (The slashed W sign is a backward slash)

Hmmn.. From the screenshot one thing is clear, either there is no FExplorer.sis file or you have not renamed the FExplorer_english_3ed_116b_unsigned.SIS to FExplorer.sis

Thats what the error message indicates. I bet the the second one is the issue.
You could rename it to anything. Example: FEx.sis

But make sure everything is case sensitive.
Also when all else fails use command prompt and manually type the entire app signing string. Thats what I prefer all the time and it doesn't take that much time to type at all.

If you get the hang of it now, app signing will become a breeze! You will not need to depend on others. :)

Don't you think I've checked for the files and their names already? ;)

The problem is that I've got a lot of files to sign, and I would have liked to be able to do them myself.

Here are the files, along with the key and certificates. Maybe I have made an error while making them, but I followed the tutorial step by step. Password is 12345.

OK relax mate... I just wanted to make sure everything was the way its supposed to be..

And you are correct, there is NO sis file there.. The one you have just posted is not a valid sis file! I used uNsIs to check its contents and it gave me content error...

What is the app you are trying to sign? And where did you get it-as its damaged. Thats the problem right there!

It's Fexplorer. Now that's weird :???:

Edit: I downloaded the file again and now it seems to work :rolleyes: Maybe the archive was damaged when I saved it the first time. Thank you for taking your time :)

Hehehe! :D
The real size of FExplorer is 451 KB, and the one you attached is only 120 KB-do the math!

Get the actual FExplorer from gosymbian and get the 3rd edition one, not version 1.17 for s60v2.

I figured that ;) I looked for the file again and noticed the file size difference. But on extracting the archive I should have got an error, but instead it went smoothly. Guess I'll double check the downloaded files again next time. Thanks all. :D

Yeah. Happens to all of us. Corrupted archive/downloads...

Just one more thing, do PM me or reply back here so that we know you finally got the app signing thing going. It nice to know more people are getting used to this eventuality. :)

Good Luck mate! :partyman:

I got the hang of it now! ;) I had to download the files I had again, just in case they were corrupt, and most of them were.

Thanks for all.

Do I need to get a new .cer/.key and/or .csr file everytime I need to sign a new application? Or can I use the same ones over and over (on the same imei of course)

Do I need to get a new .cer/.key and/or .csr file everytime I need to sign a new application? Or can I use the same ones over and over (on the same imei of course)

Every time u sign a new app u have to create new .cer and .key
But if u wana sign the previously signed app for same IMEI u can sign it with old .key and .cer
u can't use existing .cer and .key for different apps.

P.S
dimbulb.rab will Correct me if i am wrong :D

Br.

Yes! OMG! :rolleyes: You can continue using the same certificate for six months to sign as many apps you may require.

You can use the xxx.cer file (your certificate file) for six months from date of creation. After which you will require to make a new one or if you want to use existing certificate then push the phone's date back appropriately. The second option doesn't work all the time.

Hope its clear to you. :)

You are wrong mate! :( But hope this clears all your doubts as well! :)

EDIT: Yes, Afzaal I edited my post to make it clear We do not need a new certificate everytime we sign a new app. Thanx for pointing it out...

Well mate
6 Months limitation was already Clear for me.
But u did not answer his full question.
like this
Do I need to get a new .cer/.key and/or .csr file everytime I need to sign a new application?

Well my Personal Opinion is answer Should be NO

Br.

thats so simple.
when u Open Sultan key with Certificate Request
Don't Open Just type the Name of Key ;)
like 123.key
thats all.
i always Creat my Own i don't use Binpda or Sultan ;)
Br.

Could u be more clearly please? I don't understand this exactly how to do . . .

Could u be more clearly please? I don't understand this exactly how to do . . .



Man its Clear enough to Understand what i Mentioned Earlier.

Don't Use Existing Key.
When Software Ask for Key Simply type the Name of Key.

Clear?

Br.

**JUST ASKING** ok... so if it is possible to use existing .cer/.key files for 6 months on multiple applications, why was I only able to use them once?

I signed Route66 for my N95, which worked first try - followed steps in first post of this thread... Then I tried to sign the crack for Skypro callerid, and it failed. Used the exact same steps, same files, but it didn't work. I made new files, and then I was able to sign the crack? :rolleyes:
Just for fun, I tried to use the second set of cer/key files to sign something else that was unsigned, and again, I got the failed error again....? :cry:
Is there a trick to using the same cer/key files multiple times?

Yes! OMG! :rolleyes: You can continue using the same certificate for six months to sign as many apps you may require.

Strange! :|
I have been using my first set of certificate files for n73 and 3250. Both will expire soon as the six month thingy nears..

To be honest I have never heard anyone use completely new certificate file for every app signing. I'm stumped!
Perhaps the error message you get when you use existing cer file when signing might shine some light... Will get back to you soon, as I'm busy preparing for my exam tomorrow.

Cheers all! :partyman:

Can anyone please help me. I can't find a way to install DevCertRequest. When i click on it it just does nothing.No popup window no error message nothing. I've tried both on xp and on vista and i got the same result. Actually on vista it says it's not correctly installed but as i said without showing any sign of trying to install it. At first i thought it could be a problem with nod32 which sometime is a little bitchy but it won't work even if i disable it. Any idea ?

i can't seem to get through step 12...the part after i upload my request den press mydevcerts...when i download it,its juz words and codes...and i dun get the .cer file....care to explain anyone?

Hi guys. For those of us not unable to install DevCertRequest.exe, I have found an alternate standalone package. The 9MB package can be downloaded from
http://developer.symbian.com/main/downloads/files/Symbian_Dev_Services_Tools.zip
Just extract the zip file, run the Symbian Developer Service Tools and select Tools > Symbian Signed > Developer Certificate Request.

The UI is different from the DevCertRequest used in the tutorial at the beginning of this thread, but the options are quite the same. It worked for me. :)

http://developer.symbian.com/main/tools/devtools/distribute/index.jsp

Where did you get the file from? When you click on it does it just do nothing?

^^ Umm...was that for my post. Well, its like many people posted here, DevCertRequest_30_10_2006_v2.0.exe doesn't work for them (nor for me). There is just a Windows wait icon and then nothing.

So I looked around and found this alternate application generating a csr file which can be used for developer certificate request from symbiansigned.com. This is a zipped file, needs no installation; just extract and run. It worked for me so didn't bother to find more of its history, but it should be there on the second webpage link I posted.

everything was ok untill i upload the cert to the site.. i got this eror:
---------------

Guys be carefull !!! you can't creater xxx.cer files with OPERA browser.

I hope that i help on in.

hey sorry to bother you guyz, where are the signsis files? the tutorial mentions 3 tools that you require how do i get the first tool?

PS i cheat only in history, because i cant remember 60 pages..

Hello i dont unterstand the last part...

You now have everything you need to sign your SIS file.

Open auto_signsis.bat in MS Notepad. You will see that is currently contains the following:


Code:

signsis xyz.sis xyz_signed.sis xyz.cer xyz.key 12345

Replace every "xyz" as appropriate. So if your unsigned file (and all of the files you named above) is called "MyApp", then the text in the batch file should read:


Code:

signsis MyApp.sis MyApp_signed.sis MyApp.cer MyApp.key 12345

Save the batch file (choose Save, not Save As) and exit.

Now just go back to the folder you created in step 1 and double-click on auto_signsis.bat. Your newly signed SIS file will be created in the same folder for you to install and enjoy.


Do you make this in Picture,too?
Please, thanks!

Hello

Thanks you so much, I'm success to use this methode to signe my N95 for many application, by the way, there're other way that may easier such as change the date on your phone to last 5 years ago, but it works only for some application.

Thanks anyway
