This tutorial will show you how to SIGN your Unsigned Symbian (OS v9) Apps.

There are many methods to Sign your Symbian Apps, but none as simple as this one:

1. OpenSigned
This is the official service by SymbianSigned using which you can sign your applications for free. Just goto https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do , enter the details like yopur IMEI No, Email ID, upload your unsigned application, give it all the permissions and click on Send. You should get the signed application in your email in around 1-2 hours.

However, OpenSigned has a drawback – it can’t be used to sign Apps with an unprotected UID range. You also can’t sign cracked apps.

2. GenialSIS
This is an even simpler way to get your apps signed, just goto SymbianSigned.com and register with any valid uncommon email id (The common – Gmail, Yahoo, Live won’t work).

Now Download GenialSIS, and open the GenialSIS.exe file.

1. Create Certificate

Just enter your IMEI in the first tab, and click Generate to create a certificate. Also save your profile.

2. Symbian Signed Certificate

In the next tab, just enter your SymbianSigned username and password, select your profile and click on Upload. Enter the Captcha correctly adn you should get a download prompt – just download the file to GenialSIS/profiles/profilename. Now you have your SymbianSigned certificate.

3. Sign SIS / SISX

In the third tab, just open the Application you want to sign, select the profile and click Sign. You are done with the signing process now. Just transfer the signed application to your phone and install it.
