MMS on iPhone 2g with OS 3.0

[pheng617]

to get perfect pics on tmobile here's a rundown.

Download either of these ipcc.zip files(the first one is for epc.tmo the 2nd is internet2.voicestream :

2. If you haven't already configured itunes 8.2 to install ipcc's thru holding the shift then restore button than you need to do that first, here's how: (from random critics website)
apple have disabled the capability of updating the carrier files (via ipcc) fiels in itunes 8.2 but if you want to update your carrier files with the latest itunes 8.2 you can do it this way.
On windows it may rename the file to .zip to just rename it back to .ipcc

make sure itunes is not running

mac – open a terminal and type in..
Defaults write com.apple.itunes carrier-testing -bool true

windows – open up a command shell and type in: (command prompt)(open run and then type in cmd)

then word for word type in this

“%programfiles%itunesitunes.exe” /setprefint carrier-testing 1

ps- your itunes might be in programfiles(x86) on some vista devices so type that in instead.
This should now allow you to update your iphones ipcc file in itunes 8.2 via shift-update (windows) or command-update (macintosh) in itunes. Choose the ipcc file and install

a reboot (hold down power and bottom button) will be needed after an install.


After you have done this hold either shift then click on restore (in windows) or option/alt and click restore (on mac) then browse to the folder where you unzipped the ipcc.zip file (remember to unzip it first, or else itunes won't recognize it!!) and then click on ok, itunes will install the new carrier bundle. Once done reboot your phone (don"t just turn it off then on again)

that's it!

Raginasian, seems like we're both on top of this one! Lol

worked fixed blurry sent pictures!!!!

Tried and testing working on iPhone 3G running 3.0 firmware

1. Download the ipcc file & unzip to a location of your choice
2. Make sure you have iTunes pre-release version of (8.2 beta 4 or below)
3. Plug your iPhone in
4. Launch iTunes
5. Click on your device
6. Hold Shift and click on Check for updates
7. Under Files of Types select iPhone Carrier Bundle Files (*.ipcc)
8. Locate the file you just downloaded
9. Click open

It will now load the carrier bundle into your iPhone

10. Restart your iPhone.


With this carrier bundle, you will be able to:

1. Send / Receive MMS
2. Tethering with your PC/MAC

Note:

No additional settings required

WEB & Tethering is using diginet APN
MMS is using digimms APN

Hi, I have an iPhone 2G running 3.0 on T-Mobile. Can someone write or give me a link to a step by step guide for enabling MMS? I dont want to use the ActiveMMS2G because I dont have 700MB of space for it.

Thank You

It's not that actual size of download, it's a mistake.

Hey i have unlocked and jb iphone using my mms working great but does any one how to foward a gif image and a sound in one message my friend sent me one of those joke mms but when i tried to foward it i can only select the gif image or the sound file can some one help so i can foward both gif and sound thnx

I just changed my APN to wap.voicestream.com, it's interesting to see that T-Mobile seems to have opened all ports via that APN (before they blocked the hell out of everything, hence the reason for the proxy hack).

Anyway, I sent an MMS to myself and it sent fine (without the 5 minute lag some are reporting) and promptly received it (of course, the image was scaled down).

Working Steps (T-Mobile USA):

1) Install the hack via Cydia (Reboot)
2) Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network and tap Reset Settings
3) Reboot
4) Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network and input wap.voicestream.com for both APNs and use these settings:

MMS APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username: [Leave blank]
Password: [Leave blank]
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
MMS Max Message Size: 307200 (300kb limit)
MMS UA Prof URL: wap.sonyericsson.com/UAprof/W800iR101.xml (meant to fix the small image size issue but doesn't seem to be working)

5) Reboot
6) Settings -> Messages and check that MMS Messaging is on.

You should now be able to send picture messages. No need for the carrier update.

Here is another T-Mobile USA MMS setting:

[MMS] APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username: [Leave blank]
Password: [Leave blank]
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080

Side note: Does anyone know if this guy has PayPal? I am definitely donating!

EDIT: List of more profiles: List of available UAProf profiles

I didn't get to follow this thread since there's a lot of things going back and forth, back and forth.

Anyways, I did exactly as posted and decided to use the wap.voicestream.com as both apns.

Everything works perfectly fine! MMS takes about 15 seconds to send and receiving pictures, quality wise isn't that great but it works!

My internet still works also.

Has anyone figured out what needs to be done to get better resolution for the pictures?

If you have tmo and Windows it will work

[alohawaii]

If you have tmo and Windows it will work

If it doesn't work, is there anyway to basically "undo" everything that had been done?

[A_SWELLGUY]

looks nice but if you send yourself a photo via your own iphone it will send it to yourself in the resolution of your iphone's camera... I wouldn't trust this unless he uses another phone to send the mms, providing us with a accurate demo of how this would work.

[alohawaii]

^ I agree.

[bdizzle]

just wanna say thanks again for everyone who helped to get mms/push/etc working for us 2g'ers. Really appreciate all the hard work that went into it!

OK, this thread is long, overrun with different solutions and just plain hell to find the needle in the haystack.

I have a 2G phone with OS3.0.1 jailbroken with RedSn0w and ActivateMMS2G installed.

I also have the T-Mobile data plan ($19.99), so I have a Cellular Data APN of internet2.voicestream.com.

And, yet, as it's been posted time and again, setting the MMS APN to wap.voicestream.com does not stick.

So, what is the real solution for those of us who have the data plan, need internet2.voicestream.com for the Cellular Data APN, but need the supposed wap.voicestream.com MMS APN?

And, why can I receive pics via MMS but not get the send to ever complete?

Sorry to re-post a posted question, but 64 pages later I cannot find the real fix for this.

Tested. It works. I tried with a previous carrier file which set the max msg size limit. Picture came in grainy as hell.

Used this carrier file, which leaves mms max msg size blank, but uses the mms UA Prof URL for a sony ericsson W800iR101.xml

The new carrier file has remarkably better resolution.

Id like to know this also.. I haven't changed any settings yet I just wanted to confirm before I did.

iPhone 2G... 3.0 ... Unlocked with Data plan. What should my settings look like? Thanks in advance.

[Sk8r789456]

I have 3.0.1 and mms isn't working. I had it working with 3.0 Is it me or it doesn't work with 3.0.1?

By the way, one of the BEST instructionals is posted here:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyxRaewLsFA]YouTube - MMS Resolution Fix for 3.0 T-mobile[/ame]

Basically, the guy has you download an IPCC from here

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XHQ63PB

then he has you run:

"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefLnt carrier-testing 1

Once in iTunes with your iPhone connected, you do Shift-"Check For Updates" and a Navigator shows up. You change the File Type to IPCC and choose the aforementioned, downloaded IPCC file.

Once loaded, this is the profile that will fill in a different APN for Data than for MMS. If you need to alter those values, you edit that IPCC file using IFile (install from Cydia).

All of this works great in getting the settings to stick. Unfortunately, I cannot send a dang picture ... still.
