you wont be connected via wifi. You could use mobiletextedit to make those changes. and install the save EDGE settings app too

Great Site !

I just added the $24.99 mmode data plan to my old blue $99/mo charter unlimited calling plan.

I have read that I need to change characters but I need someone to walk me through the process of getting to where I change these ?

Please help me out, this is driving me crazy....

I used this method to make 1.1.1 EDGE work on my jailbroken iPhone and it worked perfectly. Then when I upgraded my phone to 1.1.3 using natetrue's method, It wiped out something to do with these files and now EDGE doesn't work. Is anyone else running into this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

In 1.1.3, the preferences.plist file has been moved. You will need to copy the modified preferences.plist file to "/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration/" or modify the preferences.plist file that is there already. You will also need to put the proxy.pac file back on the phone (still in "/private/var/root/") at least that's what worked for me...

Again, in 1.1.4 the locations of the files have moved. I have found the files and overwritten them. Unfortunately, I did a lot of fooling around and am not sure which file placement was correct. I have several copies of each file, all in different directories. My iPhone is working on Edge over mmode. If someone can post up the locations of the files for 1.1.4, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by many people. Sorry that I am not able to release the locations of the files .

Ok here is my best shot at a guide to get edge working for all of us still on the old legacy plan. Using windows:

1)Upgrade to 1.1.4 then use ziphone 2.5 to unlock jailbreak and activate see here:
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55591
2)On your phone go to installer and add source i.unlock.no
3)install "ziphone.ibrick.fix"
3)install "BSD Subsystem"
4)install "Open SSH"
5)Download and install on your computer WinSCP
if you are not familiar with winscp go here: http://www.hackthatphone.com/112/iph...2_windows.html
6)access the phone with user name "root" and password "alpine"
7)go to root/system/library/carrierbundles/unknown carrier
8)copy the file "carrier.plist" to your pc
9)go root/system/library/carrierbundles/att_us.bundle and copy the file you just took from unknown and past it over the current file.
10)if you still have your old proxy.pac file that you used before just paste it into the directory private/var/root
If you dont have this file see this post: http://modmyi.com/forums/t/6386-old-t-blue-mmode-settings-iphone-post79100.html
Ok almost done!
12)Go back to your phone and go to settings/general/network and you should now see an edge option on the phone. Change APN to "proxy" leaving username and password blank.

Turn you phone off and on and You should have a Phone running 1.1.4 with the old mmode settings.

Sounds like alot but It should take you less than an hour to complete all these steps.

Good luck!

I used most of this info and it worked like a charm. I'm on the old blue network with a blackberry plan. Unlocked my 1.1.4 16GB phone and had no data access...

The files were in a different location though...

Well for those of you have been searchng for the easy way to do mMode, I accidentally stumbled on a solution. We will see how it works. With the Blue SIM you do not get a EDGE option in Network. I placed a T-Mo SIM in and went to edge settings. Then took out the sim while still in edge settings. I typed in proxy for apn, put the Blue SIM back in and it worked!! There is still no EDGE setting but it saved the proxy. Strange but worked. Customer had mMode $24.99 plan. I thought it was to good to be true, so I turned phone off and on and settings stuck.

Good Luck to the rest of the Blue Team!

I've never had the EDGE settings option on my iPhone. just updated from 1.1.1 to 1.1.4... EDGE does not work.. I can't even find the file to do the editting via mobiletexteditor

wanted to see if anyone has the carrier.plist file they can send to me. I seem to have the wrong files saved and I can't remember which one I have.

Tryputting in your SIM that came with your iphone and see if you have the edge setting

that seemed to have done something.. I popped the SIM that came with the iPhone and swapped it with my active AT&T blue one and it's picking up EDGE
