Enable AT&T iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS MMS Update on iPhone 3.0/iPhone 3.0.1
iPhone, iPhone 3G S | Hans | September 25, 2009 at 2:40 pm
A lot of iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users are still using firmware 3.0, due to the fact that a Windows jailbreak has not been released for iPhone 3.1 firmware. AT&T released MMS for the iPhone today, and many jailbroken iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS users still want MMS on their iPhones but don’t want to update to 3.1 until there is a jailbreak released for it. Thankfully this can be done! I’ve added the AT&T 5.5 carrier profile download which AT&T released today. Follow my guide below to learn how to add it to your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS.
Note: If you are on iPhone 3.1 firmware, follow my Enable iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS MMS update through iTunes instead.
Enable MMS on AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS 3.0 or 3.0.1 using Mac
1. If you have iTunes open, then right-click and click Quit to close iTunes.
2. Go to Applications -> Utilities and open the Terminal application.
3. Copy and paste the following command in to Terminal: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
4. Press Return on your keyboard.
5. Download IPCC file (this IPCC File is the latest 5.5 file that AT&T released in iTunes today, right click this link and save it as ATT_US.ipcc).
6. Connect your iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS to your computer and open iTunes.
7. Press Option on your keyboard and at the same time click on Update in the iTunes window.
8. Locate your ATT_US.ipcc file you downloaded in step 5 and click Choose.
9. Time to reboot your iPhone. Hold down the top button of your iPhone until the “slide to turn off” message appears, slide and turn your iPhone off. Turn your iPhone on again and it should have MMS on it!

Ok, i have followed the instructions step-by-step, i have uninstalled the FakeCarrier App thru Cydia, i have restarted my Computer and my iPhone multiple times but i still get the error when i try and do the update of MMS thru iTunes. Running Windows Vista, iPhone 3.0.1, iTunes 9.1 or whatever the latest version is.
Any help whatsoever will be highly appreciated.
thanks.
Damn. I swear I’ve tried everything under the sun to get this to work and no luck. I get the big red exclamation mark. I’m running a iPhone 3g jailbroken running OS 3.0. If anyone can help I’d really appreciate it.
I updated IPCC on a 3G with a custome 3.1 ipsw. My carrier now shows AT&T 5.5 but it will not complete the send of a picture message. It will complete a regular text.
I also noticed the ipcc file is 32.2 KB and not 59.1 KB as the tutorial sugests.
The custom ipsw is jailbroken using the the 3.0.1 baseband
how do you enable mms in the messages settings? pls help.
I just did the update for the Apple carrier settings in Windows Vista. It worked like a charm! I am on 3.0 with iTunes 8.2, and won’t upgrade until the new redsn0w comes out so this works out well. Thanks!
Did this the day mms came out on a jailbroken iphone 3g s on 3.0. Everything worked fine except ive noticed today ive been having trouble receiving sms and calls. Anybody else have this problem. Or maybe know whats wrong
Thanks! work perfectly.
IT WORKS!!!
I’ve written a few times before, just to want to let know that my MMS is working, thanks to every one who contributed. Just follow the instructions and be patient.
I have the same problem. I have a jailbroken 3gs with a firmware version 3.0.1. I follow step by step the instuctions posted in this site and still not working. I can only send text messges. If I try to send a picture the big exclamation mark appears next to the photo with a “message send failure” message. I verify the carrier (settings/about/carrier) and indicates AT&T 5.1 not AT&T 5.5 that supposed to said.
it totally works. i am running 3gs with 3.0.1 jailbroken but not unlocked. it worked as simply as following his directions. thanks bro !!!
thanks much, worked like a charm. I did not want to upgrade to 3.1 you saved my hide. keep up the good work.
Thanks! Perfect instructions. No problems whatsoever!!!
SMOKEY 20 YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! THANK YOU! AFTER HOURS OF TRYING TO GET RID OF THE UNEXPECTED ERROR YOUR ADVICE GOT IT TO WORK FOR ME.
Try using the 5.0 carrier or 5.5. I noticed I was having the same problems with the 5.1 when installing it on a 3g with 3.0.1 os. Google is your friend. Remember it really only works on 3g network. Most likely if you’re on Edge or WiFi MMS won’t go through.
To MMJ: If you do a restore it should take care of your problem. I do advice you to backup your iPhone as you will lose everything, but you will be able to install the carrier without a problem.
This worked perfectly!!! I had tried many other tutorials and they were completely wrong. Thank you so much.
I must be an idiot, I can’t get shift+update to do anything but check online for an update. It doesn’t give me a choice of where to point to the file. iTunes 8.2 Jailbroken iPhone 3.0.1
Works Great! Thanks so much?
Okay, after updating the carrier settings the visual voice mail on my two iPhones are no longer working. Any suggestions?
I tried the 5.5 update but the tethering is gone, so i went back to 5.0, i have everything working, mms, tethering, but after the update i noticed i cant get online unless am on wifi, anyone else have a similar problem? Any help will be appriciated!!
