How To Sign Symbian Applications…Again! But Very Simple This Time!
23 01 2008Updated: There is a new way of signing symbian applications without following this, Click here to give it a try.
Please note that Symbiansigned limited the effect of Public ID, in short words, this guide no longer works!
A while ago, i wrote a post about how to sign symbian applications, something readers are still struggling with.
This time, The guide is simpler than ever, it can’t be more simple, and anyone now(not only domain owners) can sign their own symbian applications
Step One:
If you own a privately hosted E-mail a.k.a Yourname@yoursite.com, Jump to step two, if you don’t then
Go to 2ip.com , then register an e-mail address account, Choose ANY domain, It won’t make a difference.
Step Two:
Download GenialSiS, Then extract it to the desktop
After extracting, Run GenialSiS.exe a.k.a GenialSiS and make sure there’s nothing between it and the desktop i.e, it’s opened and running directly on desktop, nothing between the two
Step Three:
The first thing you’ll see is IMEI Bar , Type in your IMEI “you can know your IMEI By dialing *#06# ” , Then click Generate, It’ll ask you to name the profile, write anything and click OK
Step Four:
Go to Symbiansigned.com and register an account “By clicking Register Now in the right side of the page, under the login box” , When you’re asked for your E-mail, Type the e-mail you registered in step one , or if you own a privately hosted e-mail type it “Please note that gmail, Hotmail or any other public e-mail services are not eligible for registration, if you haven’t followed step one,you won’t be able to register” , Then register your own account at symbiansigned , when you’re done go back to GenialSiS, and make sure AGAIN!! that GenialSiS is running on the desktop, and there’s no windows or applications running between both.
Choose the second tab in the application “Symbian Signed Certificate” ,Type in your Symbiansigned.com account details i.e. The e-mail you registered with , and the password,then click upload Certificate.
After Clicking, You’ll be asked to write the semi-clear letters in the picture a.k.a Security check , write them and click confirm, if you wrote them right, the application will tell you where to save a file, after click OK , a File download window will appear, Choose Save and save it in the folder that was written in the prompt message you saw seconds earlier.
Step Five:
Choose the third tab in the application “Sign SIS/SISX” , click open & choose the file(s) you’d like to sign, Choose the profile you made in the drop down menu of profile, then click sign
Congratulations, Finally you have signed the file(s)/apps,They’ll be found in the folder containing the unsigned apps/file(s) that you just signed.
I explained every single step of the signing process in the simplest way ever, due to the amount of mail i got when i first posted a rather simple but not like that way of signing applications

thank you, works brilliant!
you’re my hero for today!
This sure works! I’m not good with computers but by following this guide I felt like a pro!hehehe Thanks very much!
Nice. I’ve got around my ISP email address being refused, but now I’m constantly getting “Passwords do not match”.. regardless of me painstakingly entering both passwords in, and ensuring they’re identical, several times.
Thanks very much for such an elaborate explanation, for a long time i was suffering with this signing… at last i was able to sign rotateme 2.0 and am going to try it now.. thanx again.
Hi again i saved the certificate in the wrong place sorted now every thing works, thanks a lot i have been trying to sign for ages this is spot on.
[...] A couple of days ago I’ve come across an application which lets you restart your mobile. I’ve been dying for this function in the S60 phones. I’m not sure why Nokia hasn’t implemented it yet. The application that does this is called EQ Restart and you can download it for free – download EQ Restart. Before you can install the application you’ll have to sign it. The signing process is quite difficult but there is a great guide available here. [...]
Have been hitting an error to do with .NET 3.5. I’ve googled this and it seems quite common. I’ve tried everything I can think of, so I think the problem is with the symbiansigned website. Meanwhile, the other guide method doesn’t seem to work either, also due to the website having issues. Guess I’ll just have to wait this one out.
The same error with net 3.5.. Tried everything. Maybe this is it:
“MESSAGE FOR DEVELOPERS - UPDATE 15th Feb
Developer Certificates and Open Signed Offline have been disable until Monday 18th February. Although we have resolved the issue of creating the DevCerts there are further issues caused by the huge demand for Developer Certificates when the service was enabled again.
We apologise for the inconvenience and will be working to ensure that this service is available again on Monday. Express Signing and Certified Signing is available as normal.”
So let’s just wait until tomorrow.
Thanks for the great job in explaining us how to sign.

Darn symbian signed site has disabled the signing feature for new developers… its meant to be back online today according to the friendly message - but it’s not!
The hell with Symbian…. They blocked any un-certified developers. Got an error message in the second step saying that “I exceeded the number of certificates allowed for production in 24 hours”. Although I just created a new user with them bastards.
hihi,,,when i was in step 4. the second tab, Symbian Signed Certificatesymbian, genialsis ask me to select profile. What does it mean ? thanx you.
@Xaviermah
Select the profile you made in step 3
http://www.2ip.com is not opening on my computer. i get the forbidden error. wanted to know if that means i can’t access it because of my computer or becase the site don’t wrk anymore
I just went through this process twice, the easy way then the hard way, to get RotateMe 2.0 to work, only to find that Symbian Signed have decided I am not worthy to run an application I want to on my own phone because I don’t have one of their magical Publisher IDs. What an absolutely ridiculous situation, I’m really annoyed, now what am I supposed to do!?
… nothing!…same here…join the club; no more unsigned free symbian apps from now on apparently … :S
GUYS!! use this website to sign symbian applications without even registering, the above guide no longer works due to new regulations of symbian signed

Im trying this new way to sign rotateme but all i get is the error:
FAILURE: Submitted .sis file uses a UID that is not allocated to the account holder matching this email address (0×200087b5 )
any suggestions?
yes…wait patiently in the hope that someone will “fix” the situation
Or sign up at the http://developer.symbian.com/forum/ and tell those people what you think of their OS like i did, or at least object
They seem to think that so many people sign up sat symbiansigned.com because they want to be developer.
….wile 90% signs up to be able to sign unsigned apps like rotate me.
Apps like rotate me ARE unsigned because the developer has to get them officially signed there before they can distribute them as signed freeware.
Symbiansigned however seems to be incredibly slow in signing freeware apps (nothing in it for them in the short run i guess)
….so samir is still waiting to get one of his first versions of rotateme signed. They claim to be too busy
….yeah signing all those certificates for keeps them busy!!!
O ps… even though he probably meant well, Kirollos Fares posted something that can not be used to sign a sis file that wasn’t made for open signing OR wasnt made with your developer email address …in other words, samir is now the only one that can use that link for signing the sis file he distributes
@stefan
What an amazing analysis!, Symbian should really stop this antifreeware policy and sign Samir’s application
A Note for all people who want to sign rotateme, Due to the new limitations of User IDs issued by Symbian signed, There is currently NO WAY available on earth to sign Rotateme “for people who don’t have unique Publisher IDs”
Any updates on this or are they still blocking all attempts?
@Shaun
Use this website to sign symbian apps https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do , But this WON’T work with rotateMe, Nokmote, or any of Samir’s unsigned apps, But samir promised to issue versions that is signable with this new service,
This is nothign more then a pain in the a$$! we have already paid for the damn OS so why shoudlnt we be able to add things we want to. All they need to do is give youa warning saying ‘this is unsigned and could be dangerous to your device, continue anyway?’ then let it be installed. that way the liability is on the user, not them. Its annoying that people like Samir have spent so much time and effort developing these progs for everyone and cant even give it away free.
hi there i tryed this method and here what it sayes and this is the first time that i wanted to sign this app slide hangup

the website https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do
Do note that rotateme and/or any other samir app is unsignable by this way
