Open Signing Online
If you want to use m with extended capabilities on a single Symbian 3rd/5th Edition phone, the easiest way is to have it signed online. The online signed install package has the following restrictions:
- It is bound to a single IMEI, i.e. a specific device.
- Its validity is currently limited to 36 months.
To online sign
m, follow these steps:
- Get the IMEI of the device you want to install m on. Within m, you can obtain it from gsm.imei. Or dial *#06# on the phone.
- Locate the unsigned online signable version of the m installation packages for your device, e.g. mEnvironment-S60-3rd-OS.sis and mShell-S60-3rd-OS.sis.
- Go to Symbian Signed, enter your IMEI, the mEnvironment installation package to upload, your e-mail address, and select all capabilities. The online signable version of m requires at least the following 13 capabilities: LocalServices, Location, NetworkServices, PowerMgmt, ProtServ, ReadDeviceData, ReadUserData, SurroundingsDD, SwEvent, TrustedUI, UserEnvironment, WriteDeviceData, WriteUserData.
Follow the online instructions. Within a few seconds, you should be able to download the signed installable package.
- Repeat the previous step for the mShell installation package.
- Remove any self signed or DevCert signed version of m from the device. The online signed version has different UIDs (0xe7e0cab8 and 0xe7e0cab7, from the UID test range), and cannot replace production UID versions or coexist with them.
