MrEBean,
Thank you for confirming that this configuration works with firmware 2.0.
I have updated the my first post to reflect this information.

Thanks again.

hi freshster, i was wondering if i did something wrong. every time my iphone goes into key lock (where you have to slide the bar to unlock), my internet connection disconnects. is that suppose to happen? is one of my settings incorrect?

[lbarouf]

Dang! this means to have the T-Zones you need to mod the file and this would apply to any SIMs you put in? If i replace my T-MO with the AT&T one, once the device tries to attach itself to the AT&T network, it will be granted access to the APN, IP assigned, etc... these proxy settings will still be there, and therefore, you woulnd't be able to hit any site, as the route will never be found. :-(

Unless there's something that happens with each MCC/MNC that I am unaware of... proxies by network? Where in the plist can you specify to which one it applies?!?

Yes, this is by Apple's design.
Please read my previous post in this thread.

For multiple networks, you might want to use the proxy.pac file configuration. That way you can specify various providers by IP address, and tell them which proxy to use. That way might be the easiest for that type of scenario.

Freshster,
I did the steps that you mentioned for the 2.0 firmware, but I still can't connect to the internet. I signed up for tzones 5.99 last week in case you're wondering.

Usually right after configuring the proxy I have to be patient and open multiple things before it starts working. I start with opening the Weather app, then I open the Stocks app, and finally Safari. When trying to connect in Safari for the first time, it usually takes a couple of tries.

Also, make sure your reboot the iphone after making these changes; then go into the EDGE settings and make sure that the APN is set correctly to wap.voicestream.com. If all looks good after rebooting the iphone, then you should be able to connect (with a bit of patience). It is usually only stubborn connecting after the initial configuration and reboot. Sometimes it can be stubborn after a regular reboot as well.

This seems to happen with all versions of the proxy hack, not just this one. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Do I put the preference.plist in the same directory as stated before for 1.1.4 firmware because I have 2.0. I just did what you mentioned and it still isn't working. I hope my case isn't an unusual and rare case after seeing so many people got theirs to work either with Tzones hack or the way you mentioned.

For some weird reason my ssh password for the iPhone is no longer dottie so I couldn't log in, but I was able to access and make the preferences.plist changes with iPhoneBrowser. What was weird was that after making the necessary changes that Freshster suggested and rebooting the iPhone, the preferences.plist wasn't the same as it was when I modified it when I went to check the file again. Is there anyway for me to make the pref.plist change permanent without it changing everytime i turn it off or reboot it?
I tried finding a way to change the password and found this Generating New Root Password For Your iPhone which generates a code for new password but I don't know how to get the file etc/master.passwd on my Windows. Yea..it's taking more work than it should to just get Tzones to work. Any help/suggestions/feedback would be appreciated.

I have been dealing with this for a few days, so I thought I'd share my findings.

Thanks to freshster's detailed instructions I changed the preferences file. My WinSCP would not take password to save the file so I opened Notepad, copy/paste the original pref. file, edited according to instructions and then I copied it/overwrote the original file on the phone.

My APN shows wap.voicemail.com and User and Pass are guest.

Here is the kicker... I rebooted the phone and nothing. Waited a few minutes turned off my Wi-Fi and tried again. Everything seems to work but no Edge icon. WTF, right!?!

In addition, to all of you out there- I have a first gen. winpwned on FW 2.0. May be I misunderstood but my pref. file looked like the one on 1.1.3/4 instead of the one on 2.0 from Mr. Freshster's first post. Needless to say I edited it according to the first part of the post and it WORKED!!!

I'd like anyone's input on what could be the reason for the E not being displayed. If I could tweak that I'd be an even happier camper/iphoner.

Big ups to Mr. Freshster once again for taking time and PM me elaborating further on the whole process.

Yes, put the preferences.plist file in the same location. 1.1.4 and 2.0 are located in the same place.
The only advice I can give you is to be patient when connecting for the first time after the hack is in place. Sometimes it takes a bit, and sometimes I have to reboot the phone before it starts working. Like I have said before, I think that T-Mobile proxy has to cache your connection before it will connect and work. If you keep having problems, then you might have a rare case on your hands.

I have had the preferences.plist file reset back to default once or twice, but only happened right after I applied the modifications. It could have been my fault in the technique I used to make the changes. But most of the time this problem does not occur and the modified preferences.plist file stays intact after the reboot. Let us know if you are experiencing that problem everytime.

I am not sure why your password changed, but be careful dealing with the passwd file, you can lock yourself out of the iPhone and have to do a restore to fix it.

That is strange, usually the internet will NOT work when the edge icon (E) is not present. It seems yours is working without the presence of the (E)?
Again, I have not heard of this before, but maybe someone else has experienced this and can help you...
Good luck.

Any updates to this since tmobile changed the ip address for t-zones?

The IP subnet change by T-Mobile does not affect this method, because this method does not use a proxy.pac file for proxy determination.

This configuration has continued to work for me without any problem.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I was told to reset the network on my iphone 1.1.4 cause of the ip change for t zones. I was still getting my e mail even though nothing else worked (safari, stocks, etc) now nothing works. I use it as a business phone, thats why I need it to work. It says cannot find server, you are not subscribed to Edge. My phone has worked flawless until about last week. Someone please help. Thanks in advance!
