On the imate website is a utility called: i-mate™ SP5m Certificate Installer
i am guessing they have one for the SP5.. the utility is described as follows:
Use this application to enroll root certificates in your SP5m. These certificates can be used for authentication in SSL connections for Outlook Email, Web Sites, etc The Certificate must be available as a binary .cer file.
could you not have used this?????

I used this on my SP5, and it worked like a charm. However, when I tried it on my colleague's QTEK 8310 (which is exactly the same HTC phone as the SP5 and which I bought because pdashop.nl was out of SP5s), I got a screen that said that this certificate installer is for i-mate phones only. So I had also assumed that it could work on all, or at least many HTC devices, but that was not correct.
So I did the following, and it worked:
A. Make sure you have the following:
- the certificate
- smartphoneaddcert.exe
- RegeditSTG.zip
- SDA_ApplicationUnlock
B. Then do this (with your phone connected to PC via ActiveSync throughout the process):
- Copy the file RegeditSTG.zip to the phone; then extract it on the phone (it won't copy over as an exe file; must be copied first as zip, then extracted).
- Then using RegeditSTG find the key HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 and change value from 128 to 144
- Then run SDA_ApplicationUnlock on your PC. This should unlock the phone. If you try it without the registry change, it will not succeed in unlocking the phone.
- Create a folder called "Storage" in the root directory of the phone (this is where SPAddCert will look for the certificate; if it's not there, it won't be found)
- Copy the certificate there
- Unzip smartphoneaddcert.exe on your PC, which produces a number of files; just copy the file "SpAddCert.exe" onto the phone.
- Run the SpAddCert on the phone. It will find the certificate in the "Storage" folder you have created and will offer to add it. Complete the wizard.
- Re-start the phone.
