Guide: MMS and Tethering working with AT&T on 3.0 iphone

[vtx106]

I see there is a 6.0 ipcc now. I am currently running 5.0 without problems. As long as im having good luck with the 5.0, is there any benefit in going to 6.0?

I had updated to the new iTunes and when I tried the "shift + update" method, iTunes crashes.

I tried the method via SSH and it worked beautifully. I can send and receive MMS and still have tethering. I am still on 3.0

Thanks StealthBravo!!

am i the only one that had no luck or what? finally got it loaded have mms everything else but i have no aps. I hate restoring because it seems like something else always messes up and i lose more **** which is even more fustrating. Aps crash right away, and i tried to "sync" with itunes and it ended up deleting them all off my phone and no where to be found now. I re install and they still crash, i tried the 5.0 settings or w/e instead still the same ****. Every Iphone ive owned has always had a problem. There great phones when they work, with all the restrictions and hoops we have to jump through and error messages it makes it almost not worth it

ok, i got the error in itunes, so I tried to chmod the carrier bundles as the guide said thru ssh but I get this error in terminal,

device-0026b08c38c3:~ root# chmod a+rw -R /private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/
chmod: cannot access `/private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `Bundles/': No such file or directory
device-0026b08c38c3:~ root#

any ideas?

instead of chmod a+rw -R /private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/

try chmod a+rw -R "/private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/"

instead of chmod a+rw -R /private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/

try chmod a+rw -R "/private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/"

thanks, that worked

Stealth does this work for the 2g phones? Won't ATT have us blocked out?

[Repins]

Hey Stealth. Any word on 3.1 tethering? I have been hearing mixed things about it. I have a few friends that say it is still there and other that say it disappears.

[StealthBravo]

I can get the toggle to appear but when it's enabled the os kills it because the signature can't be verified

[John1177]

when you say "all versions of Iphone" does that mean 2G;3G & 3GS ?

[chuckr]

I was able to get my iphone 3G w/3.0fw mms working using iphonebrowser 1.9.3.0 following your ssh instructions....Thanks !!!

Spoke too soon... getting the red exclamation points...argh !#$%^*&^%$

I had done the first ipcc 2 weeks ago. I just tried ALL of your directions above but I still can't get it working. iTunes gives me “iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. An unknown error occured (0xE800003D)”
and when I SSH into my phone the folders have shortcut arrows on them which leads me to believe that the files aren't really there.

I am a windows user

to kind of second John1177, does this work for 2G? I actually got the carrier settings and all on my 2G, but I'm getting the red exclamation point. Have tried reinstalling it and resetting the network, but I haven't called AT&T yet. Just kinda want to make sure I'm not wasting my time on hold with tech support if it's never going to work for me. Thanks for your help, Stealth, and for all the instructions on how to do this.

Can you please post what the Network Settings page should look like now.

calling AT&T is not going to help us 2G users, MMS is not approved for the 2G phone by them so they will not turn it on for us. I was hoping that this mod would work for us to. I don't know why Stealth hasn't replied to our questions other then I would assume he has probably had a 1000 of them and is just tired of saying "no, its not for you guys.." LOL.

[StealthBravo]

lol. This method alone wont give you MMS on a 2G. You need to run the ActivateMMS mod in cydia to make it work. There is a guide on here on how to do it. I really don't know much about it to be honest. If you are able to activate MMS then the 6.0 ipcc would be the one to use. The other issue is AT&T blocks MMS on its 2G accounts, so we would have to think of a way to get around that too.

I have tried a dozen or so times to use activatemms2g but absolutley nothing changes on my phone. So was really hoping this was our answer when I read "all versions of the iphone"..LOL
