How to Enable MMS on iPhone OS 3.1 (AT&T)
How to Enable MMS on iPhone OS 3.1 (AT&T)
When we reported that iPhone OS 3.1 breaks MMS and Tethering hack, we had many readers reporting that MMS and in some cases even tethering is working for them after upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1. It looks like it is working for users who had used the MMS hack. Aaron...

works great :):):):):):):):):):):):) now y is it not working for tethering
-
Aaron who had also figured a way to enable tethering on iPhone OS 3.0 has mentioned that he is currently trying to figure out why the previous methods aren't working. So looks like, we'll have to wait for some more time on that one.

Quotes at the beginning?? It should be:
"%Program Files%\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
The idea is to find the path of the iTunes exe file on your computer and put it withing the quotes followed by the other parameters.

Okay, I haven't upgraded to 3.1 yet; I am waiting for the jailbreaking tools to come out, however, I could never get MMS working on my iPhone, even with the modified ipcc file, which I never uninstalled. I assumed my account had a block on it.
I did notice this morning, though, that my iPhone was suddenly able to send and receive MMS messaging. I tried it after reading a post somewhere where the guy said it started working for him yesterday. When I messaged that it worked for me, a friend messaged back that it has been working for him for about a week. He lives in a different part of California than I do.
My conclusion is that AT&T is indeed rolling out quietly and in stages by removing the blocks on accounts. Come 9/25, they'll authorize a new ipcc for iTunes and let the masses have at it.

Ok I can also confirm that it works!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!
-
Interesting, it might be case as I just stumbled upon this post over at Mediaite where Ash Kalb also noticed the same thing and he didn't seem to have done anything special to enable MMS just like you.
Or the fact that you had installed the modified ipcc file earlier might have helped.
So looks like AT&T is rolling out the feature and as you mentioned the will release a new carrier update on September 25. Very nice!
-
ya ok im going to keep trying to get it myself
-
Anyone in Washington state have MMS yet???? Mine doesnt work yet. :(
-
Sorry guys, but I am also a bit confused. The path of my itunes is...
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
What would be the proper command to perform this? I am running Windows Vista with iTunes 9.
Thanks.
-
Anyone in New York got this working?
Im gonna try this out now. Bye Bye Jailbreak for me
-
Try this command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
If that doesn't work, try this one:
"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

i'm in ny and the mms hack worked, still no tethering
-
Thanks man, just tried it and it works PERFECTLY! Youre the man! Thanks again.
-
A few days ago my mms bubble went missing and I looked in settings and it wasn't there but tethering still worked. Now when I install the carrier file it does nothing. The mms doesn't show up. Any ideas?
-
Every time I hold shift and click the check for update I can't find the ipcc file and will only show ipsw files. Did I do something wrong?
-
I have 3.1 and 5.11 carrier file. I can't select the .IPCC carrier file that I downloaded--it just looks like a white page in OS-X snow leapord. Any suggestions? I followed everything else exactly.
-
You need to follow the instructions under the heading "*Enabling IPCC
Updates for iTunes*", which will allow you to select the carrier file. -

Just tested and confirmed working here in DFW, however that doesn't mean it won't stop working in a few hours though.
-
damn that's sick. worked like a charm. use the copy / paste feature for the stuff you need to put in terminal to ensure you don't mess up. i might have mis-typed something the first go round, but when i copy / paste it worked perfectly. was able to select the ipcc file just fine, took a second to update. restarted my iphone and bam !!!!
to iphonehacks - you might want to remove the period '.' in the mac section after TRUE so people don't get confused and actually use it.
-
Oh, and I wanted to clarify that the command line option for windows doesn't launch iTunes, it just sets the preference to allow carrier files, you still have to launch itunes from your icon. At least this was the behavior of itunes 9
-
of course i say that but didn't bother testing it out first. doesn't work here in houston :(
-
I followed the instructions exactly. In the terminal it displayed a bunch of type that made it appear like that part worked. Could there be something else wrong?
-
does the visual voicemail still work with this hack?
-
I just tried MMS via Swirly which I've had for a while on my 3GS and it never worked. Just tried it and works like a champ now. I'm in PA north of Philadelphia.
-
My visual voicemail doesn't appear to be working at the moment after doing this.
-
If my iTunes path is C:\Users\Public\Desktop
what would the proper command be?
im using Vista with iTunes 9. -
Thank You sooo much for confirming!!! Im a hacker but honestly at times the jailbreaking and cydia process can get really annoying. I'll stick to just doing the jailbreaking stuff for my girl. two Iphones to track n adaily basis is just too time consuming.
-
I figured out what was wrong. You have to eliminate the "." after TRUE under OS-X, when copy and pasting into the terminal.
-
Thanks Ryan--removing the "." fixed my issue of not being able to select the IPCC file. I appreciate you taking the time to bring this to my attention.
