Hi There,

...The thing is i'm desperate to have OVI MAPS on my Satio, hence Google Maps needs contant GPRS to work with. and now i'm very much in need of having an Offline Map program with me all the time.

But guess i'm stil not sure if its gonna be a good idea to hack Satio in order to install Ovi Maps in it, therefore here are my doubts about it:

(Please be patient with me, as i'm new to the hacking topic)

1: Appearently i have to SIGN the HelloOX2 with help of a chinees website (called as OPDA or OPTA), at the first step they will obtain my IMEI and afterwards they'll send me a CER & a KEY. that later i have to Sign my HelloOX2 before sendint it to my phone.

Yet i'm not sure if its a safe idea to give away my IMEI, i've read a couple of stories about theft IMEI's, So do you think if i could trust OPDA? or it they ever try to abuse my IMEI, what would be the worst scenario?


2: Do you happen to know how th hacked phone will behave? i'm hoping hacking and installing Ovi Maps wont turn my phone into a nightmare. (hence those softwares are not official and the phone is literally hacked at that point), i'm worried if hacking would decrease Satio's overal performance or KILL it at worst.

3: I've already found a hacked version of Ovi Maps (V3.01 for S60.V5), guess if the hacking proccess goes right, then i can freely install Ovi Maps on my Satio.

So despite the fact that i made a research about this matter, i'm still not sure how i can accurately do the hacking proccess? i mean, i'm still till this point that i have to LOG IN to OPDA, and they will send me a CER & and a KEY after 48hours, BUT i'm not sure what i should do as for the next step? Do you happen to know a STEP-BY-STEP guide for hacking Satio? I dont know whats the use of CER & KEY, or how i could Sign HelloOX2 before sending to my phone.

4: Finally i believe for a successful hacking proccess i'm in need of a program called as ROMPATCHER, which i should use it with HelloOX2, do you know what's that? or where i could find it? Does it needs to be Signed with OPDA as well?


THANKS ALOT in advance for paying attentiont to my message

You can just go to helloOX2 site, donate 5 bucks (US $), then after a few hours (max 24) you gonna get signed app.
Then send it to the phone and install. Enable Installserver_FP2 & Open4All_RP+ patches. You will find them when you start ROMPatcher. That´s it.
Ovi maps works fine on Satio

Once you have you CER and KEY, you will actually be able to sign your own apps anyway making hacking unnecessary, You will be able to sign ovi maps without hacking your phone, and it will work, this is what I have done.

Although yes hacking is alot more convenient as you sign hello once and hack it and you can then install anything you want freely, I used to have mine hacked, but my memory card has become corrupted I think due to unplugging from the pc without ejecting, And as a result I cannot install hello now it won’t work for some reason, I could rectify it by formatting my memory card, but as I have a 16gb one with only about 900mb free, it would take a long time to back everything up and I haven’t had time yet, so I have just been signing apps myself when I need them for the moment. Because the apps only need to be signed once to get through the installation process, once they have been installed you will not encounter any problems with them.

Super thank u for reply back to my messege.

So are you saying its only enough to get a CER & KEY from OPDA and then sign the OVI MAPS with them? without the use of HelloOX2? or without the need to install HelloOX2 to my phone at all?


That sounds good, acutally i've always heard that one should be hacking the phone with HelloOX2 in order to let the phone install applications, BUT your method seems to be lot easier. (i only have the intention to install OVI MAPS as for additional applications to my Satio).

Btw, do you happen to know where i could find a LINK for finding OVI MAPS application?
and ultimately based on your Method (which needs to hacking) could u please tell me how i could SIGN Ovi Maps with CER & KEY? (so sorry, but i never have worked with CER & KEY before, total novice to hacking as you see )

Once again thank u very very much for taking your time on my issue.
