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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  4. Repeat the previous step for the mShell installation package.
  5. 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.
