can someone paste the contents of com.apple.MobileSMS.plist from var/mobile/library/preferences from an iPhone 3G running 3.0?

[myke580]

Could someone possibly send me a copy of the 3g directories with allthr files?

p.s. sorry my bad english, I'm from russia.

on 2g and 3g I can edit the settings and they stick even after rebooting the phone. On my boss's 3g running 3.0 getting these settings there (which required the use of a cydia app named "APN settings" plus the installation of a mobileconfig file from help.benm.at allowed me to input the MMS settings, reboot and have the little camera icon in messages...It would not send though and I believe that is because I didn't do the sim switch to make her ATT account change.

Well I was looking in the /private/var/mobile/library/Preferences folder, noticed a file called com.apple.mms_override.plist...checked it out and the MMS settings I put in under general-->network-->Cellular Data Network are in that file so maybe you can just put that file in there without editing the settings on the iphone itself? Here's what it looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>MMS</key>
<dict>
<key>MMSC</key>
<string>216.155.174.84/servlets/mms</string>
<key>Proxy</key>
<string>216.155.165.50:8080</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Those are t-mobile settings fyi.

i have a question

we are talking about gettings this to work on the 1st gen(2g) iphone right?

b/c when add the mms true to the m68ap.plist and then a resrping ...

i dont have the cellular data network option in my network setting..

am i missing something?

That settings (mmsc, proxy, max mms size etc) i can edit from iPhone, and it saves results. I can't save apn/user name/password only.

I tried to edit it from settings menu, i tried to edit plist files, i tried to make ipcc files. But mms apn not set yet.

Ice9812, reboot your phone.

I know this is kinda off the path, but I remember mms working on the 2g when beta 2 was around you would just have to paste it into the sms app. iit is possible to find what did that that may be what is exactly stopping it from accepting mms into the firmware.

That's odd because when I finally got MMS settings to show, it already had the apn filled in. Now I know there's an option in one of the plist files called "AllowEdgeEditing" after I got the MMS settings to show there is a setting that says "AllowMMSEditing"

There is AllowEdgeEditing in Carrier.plist but that's not where I saw it.

Do you mean paste the photo?

[roca0303]

@ tekwiz yeah you could actually paste the photo into the app. i would look further into it at the moment, but my iphone needs a new lcd.

[myke580]

i think were missing settings in the com.apple.mobilesms plist

and also where is this file? com.apple.MobileSMS.MMSEnabled.changed?

[Chefanim]

$20 via paypal to the first one who gets MMS working on my 2G without Swirly.

Im serious

[tekwiz]

ok, I found the file that had the settings I was talking about. On my 2g it's located at /Private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/TMO_US.bundle/Carrier.plist

Here it be....

Below the top AllowMMSEditing there is also a IsMMSUserEditable key which is set to true.

ive reboot plenty of times i even tried replace the stock file and rebooting and doing it a second time and rebooting...still not there

but im not the only one i see other threads on this and still no fix...

any other ideas would help..

If someone could unlock a 3g, enable mms, and ssh into it then copy all the files and give them to us. We could prlly figure this out much faster. I have no kind of 3g access to reference from sadly

here is what i do. i used pwnage tool to create a custom ipsw for 3g. once jailbroken, it can be explored. though it is not unpacked, most of the files we are looking for can be found.


UPDATE:

ok. so we figured out that N82AP was 3g specific, and it links to M68AP (which both 2g and 3g iphones use). N82AP has an MMS key in it, which triggers MMS settings on 2g iPhones in Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network.

I was playing with it, and renamed N82AP to M68AP and put a link in it for the original M68AP which was renamed N82AP. When i did that, it read the files like a 3g would, and sure enough, a 3g toggle appeared in Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network.

this didn't accomplish anything, just got a better understanding of the two plist files and what they do (and more importantly, what they keys in them do).

i am shifting everything towards enabling MMS toggle in Settings > Messages.
