I’m receiving a lot of comments and mails about this problem. Solving Expired Certificate error is very easy
Open Menu >Settings
In settings Find Date & Time
Set your Year to “2006″. Because some applications are certificated for 2005-2006. After setting your Year to 2006 install the application who gives certificate error
Finish your installation and you can set your current date back:)
Thanks For Info…
You can also use SISWare to see the exact validity period of a certificate or just resign it with your own certificate.
Bem pensando !
So simple! Thanks a lot!

hey is not work at nokia 5700… WHY??
I have a nokia n73 version 3.0638.0.0.1 30-10-2006 .Iwant to update my phone,s software freely and when Iwant to install a new software ,it warns unable to checking certificate.check settigs. please help me.
doesn’t work for my e60
Tried it on other applications on this site and still does not work! Help please! I have a N82.
still not working on my N95 8gb. can anyone help? i hate it when such great functionality like what’s available on this phone is let down by crap like this…
Its not working in my E61. After changing the year to 2006 the error message while installing is ” certificate may have expired and there is error in your date setting”. Also i ve not able to instal adobe reader as the .sis file is not supported. Tried with mobile signer but as the file is not getting copied am unable to load the sis file…also unable to download 3gp files as it is getting downloaded as text document…pls help, regards,
You can also try to change the month.
I changed mine (N73 ME) into June 2007 and the expiry message did not appear anymore.
It works for my N95 8GB if I change to 2007 instead of 2006
Just check the date of your file was modified, for example if it was 4/12/2006 change date in ur phone on 4/15/2006 and it will work!!!
for those who have N95 ,and if u have already a certificate and it expierd dont worry , sign your new application with it , and when you want to install it on mobile ,you can just go the the CLOCK and go to change the date back to same period your certificate was vaild. There you go , install your application with no problem.
works perfectly with my n93i. thanks. ive had this problem with my previous n80 and e61
it really works thanx alot
I have a nokia 6120c. I want to install fexplorer, but “certificate error”. Please help me !!!
If me download turbo msn there are update error n say install base package first..
I have an N82 and was having the same problem. I called Nokia support to register my phone and also get some help with the discussed issue. I was told that registering the phone should fix the issue and it did. Interesting huh?!
Same probs “Certificate error. Please contact etc etc…” on N95 8GB.
Had probs with other progs similar. Tried various hacks but no use…
Why do some progs not need certs and others do? Makes no sense…!
works perfectly
thank u
ohh my gosh! it works for my n95…
i am so thankful1!! ive changed it to 2007
Thanks for the tip on Expired Certificate. It was very useful
HEY when I wanna install any .sis file on my mobile it says CERTIFICATE ERROR. My phone is sponsored By VODAFONE does this have anything to do with this ?
PS.PLEASE REPLY
Nice, but there is also another way around. .Go to “Settings” > “App. mgr.” or “Installations” > “App. mgr.” then Select “Option” > “Configuration” and Change “Software installation” from “Signed only” to “All”. Thats it. It is easy but beware only install softwares you’re sure about.
Thanks Rusik Its working perfectly in my N73 ME.This was big problem for me last few months.
thaks dear its working on n95
Heyy Buddy it works with my nokia E50
Great help for me
Thanks
pritesh.mohan@rediff.com
If Anybody needs help,
I will help him or her by the way
thanks again
Works perfect.
Did small analysis!!
First I changed the date to XX.XX.2005. It didnt work. Changed the month. Again didnt work. (Thanks to James)Then I changed to year to 2007 and it worked!!!!. While installing, i saw the license information, and saw that the application is launched in 2006.
Conclusion: I guess that most of these applications are launched in the market during 2007. So, whenever you are changing the date, see when is the application launched in the market and take the dates which are near to it.
thanks, it worked great on N82

Hi guys, the latest firmware doesn’t allow expired certificates to be installed. Try doing to imserba.com. Find drakkarious and download it.
It should work.

I have problems opening my attachments on my yahoo e.mail,what can I do to access them without navigator being blocked.
tnx murtaza

i have a nokia n78 the date thing dose not work and this time gives some other error
i tried every thing on this page it did not work for me i have nokia n78
hey guys, i did it with my nokia n82. it works. just change the year on the calendar of your fone backward till you reach the date it was valid or better if you can see the details of the apps. after you install it, put the current date back or else some apps might be affcted.
it doesn’t work on my n78,
I changed the date.but it doesnt work properly.i’m getting error “expired certificate” again in my nokia n73me.
I knew it will never work. An ineffective and immature approach!
that was so helpful for all user’s on N73, keep it on!!! thanks a lot

thanks you
you really help me thanks alot
there is messege on my n95 mobile,certificate expired.i am not able to installsymmy software.please help me.thanks
i’ve 5800 xpressmusic. i’ve faced the certificate error many times, and i’ve tried working out on the date settings - the years (2005, 06, 07, 08, 09) and also have played the months (jan till dec) - but still it none of them worked. Then i’ve tried the *Go to “Settings” > “App. mgr.” or “Installations” > “App. mgr.” then Select “Option” > “Configuration” and Change “Software installation” from “Signed only” to “All”* yet nothing.
i guess i’ve tried most of the obvious solution, i wonder what more can i get through.. by the way, i’ve even tried checking the details. sends out to who could ever fix this thing.
thanks.
just to let everybody know, i finally got it… the thing worked after resetting it to its basic settings. for those who couldnt make it work as i was sometime ago, just pull your SIM and Memory card off the phone, then reset the phone, keep its region as “Hong Kong,” there you have it… place both the cards in back to the phone. voila!!!
things are really complicated, but if you need more of the COMPLI-answers, you gotta lot of forums to run to…
Cheers everyone!!!
one more thing, just an advice though, dont be afraid to crack your gadget, you’ll never know what happens next if you dont risk it. besides, that’s where the thrill of getting MODERN brains working! No offense, just a fact..
guys i found the solution if u want to know what is year u must put
tupe on your phone *#0000# then u can show the year of your phone then go to clock setting and change the date to the same phone date
First attempt it did not work. However after changing the dates a lot I finally got MobiTubia4 to work for *01/01/08*
Thanks for the general idea to the solution. Changing the dates do work!=]

Thank you god bless you it solved my c.expires prob. and i have installed my favorite game and applications
Thanks a ton dude…….
Thanks a Lot!
If not Work! See The .sis file details and check the date!
Format the Nokia 5800, E61i
Access to touch keypad and enter *#7370# secret code (not so secret, anyway) to restore phone settings to factory default (even the user data and files are deleted).
Next, you’re prompted to enter the Nokia phone lock code. The default is 12345, if this code hasn’t been changed by yourself or any one.
Then, the phone restarts and you’ve to select the country region (just select your own country from the list, in this case), followed by request to enter current date and time.
When the phone is ready, power it off again to re-insert the memory card (for highly safety measure, unless there are nothing important kept in the memory card, e.g. picture, music, documents, etc).
As the phone is switched on again with memory card inserted, the “preparing memory card” message appears.
Finally, I’m happy to be able install all my wanted Nokia 5800 programs and games without getting the “Expired Certificate” error message that says “Certificate may not yet be valid, is expired or phone’s date setting may be incorrect”
Doesn’t work. Never did work for more then 10% of us who encountered this problems.
No one knows how to shut off this damn certificate feature??
