To configure your settings, go to: Settings – General – Network – Cellular Data Network. Please note that I’m using an iPhone 3Gs on firmware 3.1.2.

UPDATE – 07/07/2010 – I just upgraded to IOS4 and these settings still work.

Under the MMS settings use the following values:

APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Max Message Size: 1048576 <--optional

There’s a few of my readers noted that their iphone do not have the Cellular Data Network therefore unable to update their MMS settings. If yours is missing, follow these steps:

1. Open cydia and install winterboard
2. Add source: http://cydia.xsellize.com
3. Search Supreme Preferences 3.0 and install
4. Open winterboard
5. Check it off the supreme preference tab and respring
6. Then go to settings
7. Click supreme preferences tab and go to applications, than go to phone.
8. Cellular data tab: On
9. Click Home, then Settings
10. General – Network – u should now see Cellular Data Network.

If you’re still having problems receiving MMS after completing the steps above, try this video tutorial:

Notes from the WINPWN Page:
- You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes ( Currently 7.7)
- WinPwn uses 300MB of ram at peak due to the ipsw being extracted in memory
- You must first click browse and load an IPSW to use WinPwn (i thought this was clear)
- For 2.0 only the *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work
- If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won’t cause problems
- If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix

I’ve been dreading upgrading my iPhone firmware because the last update I performed rendered my phone useless for about 3 days, luckily I was able to resurrect it after working on it straight for 72 hours. Since that day I vowed to never attempt another firmware update.

Well along comes firmware 2.0

This firmware is unlike any of the previous firmware releases, which is more than enough reason for me to try and see what the fuss is all about. I knew there was a possibility that I can brick my iPhone forever but I’m a risk taker so I went ahead and updated from firmware 1.1.1 to firmware 2.0 and guess what? The upgrade was flawless using WINPWN.

STEP 1

Download WINPWN 2.0.0.3
Install the application, connect your iPhone to your pc and launch iTunes.

STEP 2

Download firmware 2.0 via iTunes or you can find it on various sites, just Google it…quit being lazy!

STEP 3

Download the following 2 files: 3.9BL & 4.6BL
These are bootloader files that you’ll need to install during the process. Save it on your desktop or any folder you want.

STEP 4

Let’s go ahead and launch WINPWN. Click on Browse .ipsw, locate firmware 2.0 you just downloaded and click on open. This will load the firmware into WINPWN.

STEP 5

Click on IPSW builder and WINPWN will create a custom IPSW. This will bring up the IPSW builder, simply copy the settings you see from the images below:

STEP 6

At the advanced tab we need to load the 2 bootloader files we downloaded earlier, click on the first button and load BL-39.bin, click the the second button and load BL-46.bin.

Now click Build .ipsw, save the custom ipsw…this process will take about 5-10 minutes so be patient. Once it’s done building the firmware you will get a pop up stating Successfully created IPSW file, click OK.

STEP 7

Double click the custom IPSW you just built, you will then be notified that your iTunes has been Pwned! Click OK.

STEP 8

We need to put the iPhone in DFU mode. Press the power button and home button at the same time until the phone turns off. Once it’s off let go of the power button but keep the Home button pressed for another 10 seconds. Itunes will recognize that your phone is in recovery mode and will ask you if you want to restore. Click OK.

STEP 9

Now in Itunes, you want to hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the restore button, this will allow you to browse the custom IPSW you just created. Go ahead and select your IPSW and restore…Once this is done you should have an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone Firmware 2.0 !

I’ve had my hacked iPhone for quite a while now and always wondered if I can use T Mobile’s data plan on it. I called customer service and asked if I would be able to run their data plan on my iPhone, the person I spoke with told me that it was impossible and cannot be done. I refused to believe this so I did my research online on using T Mobile’s EDGE with the iPhone, and low and behold there are quite a few iPhone owners out there using the T Mobile EDGE connection. It looks like you CAN USE T Mobile’s T Zones internet connection on your iPhone. The best part is it only cost $5.99 a month! Now this requires a simple hack but it is very easy to follow, let’s get to it:

You will need iBrickr to browse the file system of your iPhone.
Download iBrickr

If you’ve never used iBrickr before visit the link below for a video tutorial:
View tutorial

If iBrickr doesn’t work for you, try using WINSCP, it will also allow you to view and modify the files in your iPhone much like iBrickr.

Once you have iBrickr downloaded and the PXL files installed on your iPhone, you will launch iBrickr.exe. You’ll see the main interface, click on files to browse your phone’s file system.

( This procedure is for firmware 1.1.2 and under )

Locate /private/var/root

Launch notepad and paste this code:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "25.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 216.155.165.50:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}

Save the file as proxy.pac and upload it to /private/var/root

Right-click this file and select “Save Link As”, you need to save the file as preferences.plist, you will then upload preferences.plist into the following iPhone directory:

/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/
SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

NOTE : If you are on firmware 1.1.3 and 1.1.4, upload the preferences.plist to this directory:

/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration

This will over write the current file that’s already in that directory.

Now grab your iPhone and tap Settings – General – Network – EDGE. The APN you will use is wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest. Reboot your iPhone and voila…you should be able to browse online using EDGE.

NOTE: After performing this hack I noticed that EDGE interfered with my wifi connection at home. If this happens to you, here’s a very helpful solution. Launch iBrickr.exe again, this time we will click on Applications. Click on the Browse Applications button, this will launch a list of 3rd party apps you can install at your will, for our purpose we will install an app called Services. Basically this will allow you to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, and EDGE.

Once you’re done with the installation, iPhone will reboot and on your Springboard you should see a Services icon, tap the icon and here you can toggle between your EDGE and WiFi connection. Here’s the screenshot:

If you’re on firmware 3.0, there’s no need to perform this hack. All you need to do is set up your APN. Go to Settings – General – Network – Cellular Data Network. In the APN field enter wap.voicestream.com, leave the username and password blank. That’s all you need to do to get EDGE running on your iPhone.

Updated 9/01/08
T-Mobile USA has changed the IP address in their system for the T-Zones service. For anyone on 1.1.4 and below you will have to SSH in and manually change your settings or upgrade to 2.0+ and install the NEW T-Zones Hack provided by Big Boss in Cydia. For anyone on 2.0+ who has the previous hack installed you will need to update to the new one.

You must subscribe to the $5.99 T-Zones service for the T-Zones hack to work.

“For 1.1.x users that really don’t want to upgrade, you can fix proxy.pac yourself but editing the file /var/preferences/proxy.pac and changing 10.0.0.0? to 25.0.0.0”

Updated 2/19/08

This hack works on firmware 1.1.3, it’s been verified by a couple readers from this blog. The preferences.plist can be found at this directory:

/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration

Updated 1/10/08

I’ve decided to copy this post over to a different forum so that others can post and maybe offer some suggestions or tips on making this work. Please go to: http://www.iphoneshowoff.com

Updated 12/20/07

Download the zipped file below and used these files if you are having trouble renaming your files. This zipped file contains proxy.pac and preferences.plist – preferences.plist may just show up as preferences depending on your pc, this is fine…just upload these 2 files to the appropriate locations.

edge-files.zip

Updated 12/01/07

This hack works on firmware 1.1.1. I finally updated my firmware and EDGE works flawlessly. I have both the 4GB and 8GB updated to 1.1.1 and so far everything is working as it should.

Updated 10/25/07

Some people are having problems with the preferences.plist I have, if the one I provided doesn’t work out for you try using the one from the link below:

Thanks Paul !!!

Updated 10/24/07Here’s a comprehensive list of EDGE settings for different countries:
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html

Updated 10/23/07There seems to be a bit of confusion about making this hack work, let me just clarify a few things.

- You don’t have to buy the $19.99 data plan with T Mobile, the $5.99 plan is all you need.
- There are 2 files you need in order to make this work, proxy.pac and preferences.plist (both are on this page).
- To enable EDGE go to Settings – General – Network – EDGE. APN will be wap.voicestream.com, username and password will be guest.
