Nokia 5530 Tutorial – Signing Unsigned Applications, Games and Themes directly from your phone

If you have followed my last tutorial on online signing process for Nokia 5530 then you must have got these files, developer key (.key file) and developer certificate (.cer file) from “Step 3″. If not then please follow that tutorial till first 3 steps, as these 2 files are must for signing applications directly on your phone.

1. Download and Install Freesigner on your Nokia 5530. Go to Applications Folder and open Free Signer. There you will see options, click on it and select “Settings” as shown above.

2. In settings you will see “Sign Cert” please choose it, there you will see 3 options as shown above. Now browse for the .cer file. If you have saved it  in phone memory then choose “Phone memory” otherwise “Mass Memory”. Similarly,  select “Sign Key” and navigate through the .key file.

3. After loading both the files the screen should look as above.

4. You are almost done. Now just go back and click on “Add Task”. Here you can browse through the unsigned application, game or theme saved in your phone memory/memory card. Once the file is chosen select options and click “Add” as in the screenshot above.

If you don’t like the signing process at all, then wait for my next tutorial on Nokia 5530 hack. After hacking your 5530, you are free to install all kind of applications, games and themes without going through any signing process.

  21. Hi… I have a question. hope someone would take time to answer this one…
    > I’m confused of this two application, the freesigner and the hello0x2… I would just like to clarify. If I would sign my 5530xm phone to the link: “http://cer.opda.cn/en” to get the “.key & .cer”, and used freesigner to sign all unsigned apps. Does it mean that I am already hacking my phone or is it the other way around? when I would just about to install the helo0x2 application on my phone?… And a follow up question… Would you prefer Helo0x2 or freesigner? Tnx in advance… :)
