How to sign and use unsigned .sis files

For security reasons, Nokia decided that modules in S60 cannot directly be used on multiple phones . Instead for each phone the module needs to be signed with the phone's IMEI. Here are the steps to get a module signed :

  • First go to: https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do
  • Fill up the application information form:
    • IMEI no of the phone ( found by typing in *#06# on the phone )
    • Your email id
    • Upload the unsigned module (will be a .sis file)
    • Select all the capabilities, don't bother to find out which ones are the ones required
    • Write the code, sign the document and submit the form
  • An email will be sent to your email id, asking you to confirm that you want the file signed.
  • After you confirm, another email will be sent to you when the file is signed. Download this file.
  • Now download this file to the phone
  • Go to file manager on the phone, find the file and open it to install it on the phone.
  • Install it to the phone's internal memory and ignore the warning.
  • And you're done, the module is installed on your phone. You can import and use this module as any other inbuilt module.
