When we try to install unsigned applications on a Symbian device, it shows some common certificate errors such as ‘Certificate Expired‘ or ‘Certificate Error‘, ‘Contact Application Supplier‘. To resolve these problems, you have to hack your device.
Hacking a Symbian device does not indicate any illicit conduct. It is almost as same as rooting an Android device. The main purpose of this process is to gain access to the root directory of the operating system.
There were days when hacking a Symbian device was very easy. But it becomes hard nowadays. Because we can no longer obtain a free certificate to sign our unsigned apps. So, we need to hack our mobile using a different technique: Norton Hack.
Remove Certificate Errors from Symbian Device
Step 1
Download hacking tools to get rid of certificate errors on your Symbian smartphone. It is a ZIP file. Open it using X-Plore. You will see a number of files in this archive. Install NortonSymbianHackLDD.sis file.
Step 2
After installing, open the Norton Anti-Virus. Go to Anti-Virus List / Quarantine List
Step 3
Navigate: Option > Restore All. If it requires the permission, select Yes.
Step 4
Exit Norton. Go to Menu > App Manager on your device and remove a file named Symantec Symbian Hack.
Step 5
Open X-Plore and delete C:\shared folder.
Step 6
Open the downloaded Hacking Tools and find and install RomPatcherPlus_3.1_LiteVersion.sisx
Step 7
After installing the RomPatcherPlus_3.1_LiteVersion.sisx, open RomPatcher+ and go to Option > All Patches > Apply
If you have properly followed the abovementioned process, it should do the work and it would show a green tick.
However, if RomPatcher shows a Red Cross instead of a Green Tick, follow these instructions from #8
Step 8
Download InstallserversPack.zip. Open it using X-Plore. You will find various InstallServers. Choose yours according to your device version. Copy it and paste it to C:/sys/bin folder. Then, restart your device and it should definitely work remove certificate errors from Symbian devices.
Still Not Working?
However, when you try to install an app and the system shows an error called Constrained By The Certificate, it is a different error. In that case, please check out our instructions to remove Constrained By The Certificate error.

Dear Brother,
I cannot download your nortonhack file from 4shared though i've an account. What should i do
Dear Nil Bosonto, you can download the file directly from below link: Norton Hack
I followed the instruction, after copying installserverspack i can't install any apps or themes now. It shows file corrupted. Please help me.
MAKE SURE you installed the right InstallServerPack! First google to know which version of symbian has been installed in your device! It's not about S60v3/v5. It's about 9.1, 9.2, 9.3…there are different installserver.exe for different version of symbian. So, find out it first!
my nokia n70 does not support bangla font. And i have followed the instructions.but the files do not support in my phone.what can i do now for supporting bangla in my "Nokia N70"?
Sorry, Chanchal Hossain. There is no way to install Bangla fonts on N70 since it is a Symbian S60v2 device. As far as I know, you cannot read or show Bangla on N70. However, you can see Bangla content on the Internet via Opera Mini. Read attached post to read Bangla on Opera Mini by enabling Bitmap Fonts when you browse the Internet. Thank you.
