As most of you already know, SSS (Stupid Symbian Signed) have revoked the end user's ability to attain a developer certificate, forcing us to use their open-signed online system. This of course meant that ALOT of freeware was unable to be signed...Until now that is, read on to become liberated!
First of all, I'd like to thank MORF of the Symbian Freak forums once again, if it wasn't for him many thousands of Chinese-illiterate people would still be without certs.
Read ALL instructions and click ALL pictures before attempting
Head over to the OPDA forums by clicking here.
Click on the register button at the top of the page.
Fill in the registration form as shown in the image below (Click for full size):
Click on the link to apply for a certificate:
Fill in your phone details as shown below:
Check your account in about a day and download your files:
Things to note:
- Posting your IMEI on the internet may be dangerous depending on where you live.
- It may take several days before you receive your certificate, OPDA do about 1000 people per day.
- You MUST keep the key file and certificate file safe as they're directly linked, I recommend emailing them to yourself or keeping them on some flash drives/memory cards.
Enjoy!
dude, i love you. Thank you so much!
Glad to have been of assistance :)
Great, thanks!
Just one question; ive posted my imei and such, still have to wait a few days to receive mine, but I've downloaded one of the previous .rar files, and it only contains 1 certificate and 1 key file. These files are, as said, personal, but how can they be if a 1000 people can use it for 1000 different imei's?
Marten
Marten, yes there's only 1 Cert and Key in the rar. I don't know how they do it because like I've said, sometimes they have 3000 IMEIs in 1 certificate.
It does 100% work, it's just that you're sharing a cert with many people around the world.
I know that probably wasn't explained to well so if you have any more questions just comment again.
Thanks mr-x! It wasnt really that I needed an answer, just a verification that the system really works. I've been browsing the net for over a week now to try and find a bypass or dev.certificate for ss, with no luck, until I came here! About 7 more days should do it..
Thanks alot!!!
Ever tried to think of it as identity thieft? These guys are collecting thousands legit IMEIs for unknown purposes. E.g. Don't get suprised finding your phone banned in your operator network as stolen... or false emergency calls (e.g. a "bomb in the airport" call you'll be responsible for) originated from "your" mobile in Sim-less mode...
The only way to report your phone as stolen and get it barred that I know of is to call your operator. What you're saying is that these people at this forum are gonna get people living in the MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES that these IMEIs are coming from and then 1 by 1, using a different phone number each time for over 50,000 IMEIs report the phone as stolen.
Check the other threads in the forum, these guys aren't trying to harm your phone, they're trying to make it YOURS.
Besides, if my phone does get barred, I think I know of ways to change the IMEI.
Thanks for the comment ;)
mr-x you rock brother
mr-x....can i know if da cert n key file can b used to sign any application or it can only b used once to sign a signle application...thanks in advance

OPDA seems to have removed the Text Entry Field
QUOTE
Once you've registered, go back to the page we started at and scroll down to the bottom where you should find a text entry field. Fill it in according to the image with your IMEI & Date of Application.
UNQUOTE
Request you to modify the guide to suit the Re-designed Website
I see. The hack didn't fail you, it's just that for you to be able to install unsigned applications, further steps must be taken (Manually placing the installation files in their appropriate locations) but hopefully, there'll be an easier method, if there ever is, you know where to look.
Cool, it took me just 12 hours from finding this web page till getting my ReadDeviceData-using application signed and working on my phone.
Thanks a lot, Mr.X.
Konst,

What I'm wondering about is why OPDA is doing this? Pure generosity or they can somehow make use of the obtained EMEIs? ...
Hi Konst,
OPDA (as far as I can tell) are doing this out of generosity. I think it is possible to somehow use the collected IMEIs to create cloned devices but that's simply the risk we have to take for Symbian liberation!
I'm glad that I could help and thank you for commenting!
Hey Mr-X, I've got a question...
As soon as I get my certificate and key file...
What do I with them to sign my .sis files? How do I apply the certificate into .sis files or sign them with the certificate I get?
Thanks and congratulation on your great work!

I got the certificate rar file.

Hi,i would like to know if it's possible delete IMEI by the site? Hi
Nice one, waiting for my file :)
Great Work....
BTW. I think it would be nice to pinpoint out were the login for the forum are, and were you find your file when you need to login again after a days time.
Anyway, it didden't take so much time to find out, but would be a nice edition anyway.
Thx a 1000 times, can't wait to see my phone cracked. (just got it:)

some help here...i follow all your step..but when i want to put my imei and email...it just do nothing...i wonder what when wrong???
I think this also doesn-t work. No one even in other sites can make this work. I think we know have to wait for someone to discover a new way to get a dev cert.
Best regards
Great Job!!!

However none of the links work! My chinese is a little bad today, but if I understand babelfish correctly you need something like "OP Coins".
Can somebody help please and tell me where to klick?
I made some screenshot:

I keep getting a message that says "wrong validation email" when i enter my imei and email address. any ideas what i'm doing wrong? already tried different email addresses.
same here. it tells me wrong validation email. what can i do to get pass this?
hi there, just wanted to know whta to do with the downloaded files
it keeps on saying invalid email address no matter which email address i type in..
Do NOT enter your email address below the IMEI box. Just enter any random 11-digit number starting with 13, 15 or 18 as instructed and it will accept your IMEI.
There has bee an update on the 11-digit number... Doesnt work anymore :-)
Could you, who knows the site, check it out?
Thanks
My bad, after X tries it went through :-)
Thanks for a good guide and lets hope opda finishes my dev cert :-)
Thanks for a great guide for a starter.
I followed the guide and got my download link. Great! Downloaded the first file and was about to download the next and was told (had to translate on google) that i was missing OP points or something?
Can i wait for the point or do i have to do something, god forbid, on the site to earn points?
