Enable MMS for T-Mobile on 3.0

[nycdiplomat]

has anyone tried this method for tmobile mms on any of the latest betas?

[willryan42]

iTunes won't let me choose the ipcc file when I hold option and click check for update. Everything is greyed out except ipsw files. How can I fix this?

You need iTunes 8.2 beta alpha 1 to load the file.

[darkpassenger]

I'm pretty sure they have completely forgotten that millions of users still have a 2G phone. They will probably never make anything backwards compatible. I bet they send a spike to blow up all 2G phones through EDGE...

If by "they" you mean Apple/ATT...i dont care about them

I'm wondering if the community is working on something. If the hardware supports it, I have a feeling we will see it soon. I would like to help, but I cant find anyone else working on this!

[eclipticrider]

It's only a matter of time till they send in the ninjas to destroy us first gen iPhone users... But on a serious note I'm sure swirly will get their stuff updated soon.

[darkpassenger]

This is not the point, & I dont like swirly

Seeing as there are no hardware limitations, I'm wondering WHAT is restricting this.

It's a conspiracy...they're holding back cuz you want it so bad.

What happens when you try to update? Did you open command prompt and make sure you either type it exactly or copy and paste it onto the command prompt window. After you type it in or copied into the command prompt window than press enter. Also make sure your iTunes is closed when you do this.

Thanks to the work of me, emarty69, and StealthBravo, we have a working solution to use MMS on 3.0 for T-Mobile.

1. Download this file: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
2. Change the file extension to .ipcc if your computer saves it as a .zip
3. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
4. Hold Option (Shift on PC) and click "Check for Update"
5. Choose the .ipcc file

That should be it. You should notice that your "T-Mobile" in the top left corner looks a little different, or "squashed" horizontally. I don't know why this happens, but hey, at least the spinny wheel in the status bar won't be on the right side of the clock between 10:00 and 12:59 anymore.

This does not work.

I am on 2g running 3.0
Everything works properly but no CAMERA in mms messaging, allowing to add pics.

I have tried everything, and still no camera.

ANYONE get this working on tmobile?

[darkpassenger]

obviously this wot work for 2G.... we need some sort of modification to allow the Messages app to use the camera/roll.

Editing M68 does give you the MMS config, as someone had mentioned
