iPhone 3.1.2: Carrier update
iPhone, iPhone 3G S, iPhone OS 3 | Hans | October 8, 2009 at 3:26 pm
The recently released iPhone 3.1.2 update also includes a carrier update for AT&T iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users. The carrier is updated to AT&T 5.6. The baseband/modem firmware for the iPhone 3.1.2 update still remains at 05.11.07 (which currenty cannot be unlocked).
How to update iPhone 3.1.2 carrier settings
1. Download and install the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware to your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS.

2. Once the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware is installed, iTunes will display a message saying: “An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?“. Click Download and Update.

3. Once you’ve clicked the download and update button, iTunes will automatically update your carrier settings and display the following message: “Your iPhone carrier settings were updated successfully“. That’s it, you’re done!
I’m not sure what is included in these new carrier settings. Last time Apple issued the carrier settings to enable MMS on AT&T, maybe these carrier settings will enable VoIP over 3G, now that AT&T is allowing Skype to use 3G. What do you think?

This sucks. I can’t use the internet on any apps. Not even built-ins like maps. totally useless. Update now please apple. This update is crap and blocks my internet.
geohot released blackra1n sometime this morning! all iPods/iPhones are jailbreakable. I’m writing this on my jailbroken 3Gs running 3.1.2 fw.
@FrankDerrickTheKing geohot released blackra1n a few days ago…not today….i know because I used it yesterday to jailbreak my 3gs
Looking at 5.1, 5.5 and 5.6 the only change I can see from 5.5 to 5.6 is the size of the file allowed and some string passed. Maybe a counter or byte total? 5.1 has lots of tethering information that was removed in 5.5.
Does anyone have the download file for the new carrier setting 5.6. I am still running OS 3.0.1 and do not want to lose tethering. I know how to update the carrier setting but need the 5.6 file. Please help. Thanks…
PS…I am currently using carrier setting 5.1 If I update to 5.6 will I lose my tethering? If yes, then forget me updating. I like being able to tether.

If I update my carrier, what all changes?
I am using 3.1.2 jailbroken + ultrasn0w unlock. I am just hoping this won’t overwrite the Modem Firmware and screw me over.
Also. Since I do not even use ATT would this still enable “MMS” for me? I am constantly switching my SIM card from T-Mobile to China Mobile while traveling.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it
