Guys, a week ago or so you updated your certificate on your web site.

This certificate is issued by Comodo CA.

I contacted Comodo CA and here is the chat with instruction on how to fix the issue.


Please wait for a site operator to respond. You are now chatting with ‘Kane’ rdarioc: Hello Kane, this is Rosario

Kane: Hi Kane: Welcome to Comodo ssl technical support Kane: how may i assist you?

rdarioc: I have a problem with one of your certificates while browsing from Android rdarioc: A few days ago the web-site named f-droid.org issued a new certificate rdarioc: this new certificate works fine from PC rdarioc: while it fails on Android rdarioc: Any suggestion?

Kane: yes one moment Kane: I could see root certificate is not installed on the server.I have resent you the certificate with the CA-bundle file to your mail address “admin@f-droid.org”, please check and install that new CA-bundle file.
