Raccoon installation with development certificate

Unfortunately SymbianSigned have changed the process of how the 3rd party applications can be signed and these instructions do not work anymore. In fact, there is no way, currently, to sign Raccoon. Until a solution if found, please use MWS.

There is a way to make 3rd Edition phones also to read the GPS and GSM cell information. There are however extra steps for doing so. In short you have to reinstall Raccoon and Python (PyS60) signed with 'developer certificate' to allow the application to get access to the location information of the phone.

Reserve a couple of hours, a cup of coffee and follow these instructions:

  1. Go to www.symbiansigned.com and make an account to yourself.
  2. Get the manual from symbiansigned.com and follow the instruction in chapter 4. At the end you should have a developer certificate file (.cer)
  3. Download developer certification ready Raccoon and Python files
    • Raccoon: look for files with devcer in the name
    • Python: look for files with unsigned_freedevcert
  4. Install Symbian SDK to get the 'signsis' program
    Go to Forum Nokia and download a 'Maintanance Release' version of the SDK. (Alternatively, read instructions here and copy only the signsis program)
  5. Open command prompt and use signsis to certificate all Raccoon and Python files (signsis manual). Write: 
    signsis input_file_name output_file_name devcert_file privatekey_file passphrase
  6. Install the certificated files to your mobile phone.

    All done!
