• All applications always will can be installed if already through the signing process  –> not entirely true or false. Signing software such as X-Sign, OPDA SignSis, GenialSis, iMobile Sign Tool, FreeSigner, BiNPDA RootSiGN, need Symbian certificate file to work but not always successful signing Symbian applications. Hack your Symbian phones usually work better so that applications can be installed without a hitch. But hack the phone has negative effect when there is a failure. Your cell phone could be damaged.

• I have certificate files for my mobile phone, but why it can not be used after updating the firmware? –> It could happen.
