how to Get your own developer certificate

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.

How to get a developer certificate:

Head over to the certificate request thread over at 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

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.

Once you’ve posted the message, make a note of your post number which will be located at the top right of your message.

Check the first post of the thread every few days and see if you’re one of the lucky people who has received their super certificate. If so, click the link for the cert that contains your post number.

Scroll down to the bottom of the first post and then you can finally download the rar file containing your certificate and key file!

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 will need to have posted atleast 5 times to be able to download the rar file.
• 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.
