OPDA, cer.s603rd.cn and many other symbian .cer/.key file generator sites are not working anymore

Bad news for Symbian fans as OPDA (and other such sites) has stopped working to give you an IMEI specific cer/key file, required to sign an unsigned app sis/sisx file). In fact cer/key files are also necessary to hack the phone (required at least once to sign the hack_cert_installer.sis or helloox sis file).
This malfunction is the result of recent changes made by “Symbian Signed” (the official Symbian certificate issuer) in the rules and regulation of cer/key file generating process. I myself applied for cer/key file (for my swanky new N8) at all such sites earlier this month but still to get one (the status showing as pending).
Hopefully this change is temporary and these sites resume their services soon.
If you don’t know what is the importance of cer/key file then refer to this “Sis/sisx” signing tools and tutorial
