So, I've decided to write a guide for all you people out there who seem to be having problems unleashing the potential of your E71. There is a lot of advice out there on how to get things done with this phone, but if you don't want a research assigment, here is what you need to do:
In order for you to be able to download and play your favourite games or run those crucial apps, the E71 has to be unlocked. The first step that must be taken however is to obtain a "developer certificate", that is specifically for your phone (get your imei number by pressing *#06#). Once you have this certificate, there is software which unlocks the phone or you.
Obtaining this developer certificate is the most challenging of the entire process, and many sites out there claim to be able to provide this for you, however, the only reliable one which I have found is here. Unfortunately, for the English speaking world out there, the site is in Chinese. It is a forum, and hence you would need to sign up as a member, login, and then request for a cert. Instructions for this can be found here or here. Be patient, the entire process usually takes about 12 to 24 hrs.
After getting your cert (note there is a .cer file and a .key file), you have to apply the HelloOX 1.03 patch.You can get this here. Next, sign HelloOX.1.03.Unsigned.sis with the cert you obtained from OPDA with PCSignSIS or Mobile Signer (put all the files on your phone first).
Lastly, transfer the signed file to your phone and install!
That's it! you're done! Look here: Best apps and programs for the E71
