What do you mean 5.5 and 5.0? Do you mean the carrier settings?

When I try to update I get the following error:

The iPhone “” could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (0xE800003D).

I couldnt download the link that says “Download
the newest AT&T Profile 5.5 (release 9.25.09) [Download Here]” because its “limit has been reached” – can anyone send me the file?

Thanks BigBoss!
I’ve been following the various rumor sites, but
I was waiting to hear from you that this was safe to do. Just sent a test message and am happy to report that I’ve got functional MMS on my jailbroken 3GS with 3.0!!
Tethering via PDANet is still working fine. (I never tried the other tethering hacks)

follow the advanced steps at the bottom

I guess I just should have tried. 5.5 updated file works and 3G and EDGE still work. Just no “cellular data network” settings menu.

Thanks BigBoss as always!

Oops, I have 3.0, not 3.01, I don’t think that makes a difference, does it?

great post but since i used a custom firmware and it kept the old baseband it doesnt let me update, ive done everthing in the post but i keep getting the same error “The iPhone “” could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (0xE800003D)”

this part does not work. i get an error. what exactly should i put in the command line?

“C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

cd C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
then iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

This is what I did.

If I install 5.5, can I install 5.0 over? Is there going to be any problems?

Edit:
cd C:\Program Files\iTunes

Sorry. Try this.

cd C:\Program Files\iTunes
enter then

iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
enter then

open itunes

will this work with itunes 9? the .ipcc file?

i have followed the steps MULTIPLE times EXACTLY as they are, and itunes still will ONLY allow me to select an .ipsw

I’m using iTunes 9 on XP, and it did work.

Ok, I went from my old 5.0 that I had before, to the 5.0 on this page, and now I have “cellular data network” settings. I updated the settings like it said, restarted, and MMS still fails to send.

ok i got it working do this, check in cydia and make sure you dont have any at&t carrier logo installed, i had the bigboss at&t carrier logo even tho my at&t logo never appeared in 3.1 since i kept the old baseband i just deleted the carrier logo from cydia and restarted then updated and it works

and this ‘C:\Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

on vista

No go! I’ve followed instructions to the letter on my 3G 3.0. Updated to the 5.0 version and restarted but it fails to send near the end of the progress bar.

MacBook Pro iTunes 9…

I’m on a jailbroken 3G 3.0 and everything worked fine for me. but it seems I can only send MMS when I’m on 3G and not wifi…anyone else having this problem ?

thanks, this needed to be said. I have followed the directions TO THE LETTER MULTIPLE TIMES ON MULTIPLE PC’s (one xp, one vista), i’ve quintouple checked the spelling, spacing, capitalization, etc. of the command line prompt and iTunes 9 STILL refuses to recognize the .ipcc file.

This method has obviously not been tested properly, or there’s a step missing?

Is there anyone who was able to get this method to work on a PC? or is everyone who had success enabling MMS via this process on a mac?

get “The iPhone “” could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (0xE800003D)”
error helpppppppppppppppppppppppppp please can see file

me too, someone plz help us!

check you dont have a carrier image installed on cydia

I have a 3GS with 3.0.1 and I have 5.0 carrier settings and I had to rest the network settings on my phone before it worked. Then add the Advanced settings then it should work. The Tether will only work if I reset nework settings again and disable MMS. After you are done tethering then go back to advanced settings and type in the user name and password and MMS will work again. Pain but it is worth it.

@jgonzalez31: what do you mean by a carrier image?

@Lisset: i had the same problems. what i did was run the cmd prompt as adminstrator and then typed (leave off the quotes).
“cd C:\Program Files\iTunes”
press Enter
“iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1″
press Enter

Open Itunes and do shift+update the filetype dropdown that has ipsw files will let you choose ipcc files.

works great make sur you change directory then lets you use ipcc

PrefInt is capital letter I not a lower case L. Try that.

Didn’t work for me

Im gonna wait for the 3.1 Jailbreak, make it a little simpler…

Alright got the step by step fix for those of us using a PC I only confirmed this using:
iPhone 3G 3.0.1
iTunes version 8.2 (Beta not needed)google oldapps to get it.
I have a Vista Machine but confirmed it on my XP Laptop
you have to downgrade iTunes because apple made it so you can’t see .ipcc files in itunes.
make sure itunes is closed and open cmd and copy and paste this:
cd C:\Program Files\iTunes (hit enter) then:
iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1 (hit enter)
Now open itunes hold the shift key and hit update
then where it says it wants the .ispw there should be an option with a down arrow to select the .ipcc file open it restart your iphone and now your sending mms baby!

ok can someone help me or at least let me know if I am ok.. This is what I did.. I did a restore yesterday on my phone and jailbreak. My phone is a iPhone 3GS on firmware 3.0.0 Anyway I did the restore and jailbreak and installed MMS Above and my Visual Voicemail wouldnt work at all but the MMS did (Without changing any settings in settings).. Well today I got home from work. Restored again to 3.0.0 and jailbroke and then activated my voicemail before doing this install. I then did this install above and after the install (of 5.0) I rebooted the iphone and everything is working like a charm. No need for any changes in the settings or anything. I am on Contract with AT7T if that makes a difference. Should I have to do something else or is that ok what I have done so far..

Thanks
Patrick

followed exactly that, when it starts updating it gives me that 0xe8000 error, whats the deal?
im trying to update with carrier 5.5, my phone is 3G with 3.0 jailbroken, and no, I do not have any of those big boss carrier settings on my phone

What Operating system are you using?
because I could not get this to work with Vista Ultimate x64

wait hold on, I lied, I thought I removed the carrier logo but it was still installed… LOL im removing it now and giving it another go, and im on wind xp

yeah u need older version of itunes trust me.

PS. I’m on a 3G jailbroken to 3.0 and I did the update in Windows with iTunes 9.

I had same problem, I was using iTunes 9.1 and it didn’t give me the .ipcc option. I installed 9.0 and it now gives me the option.

Oh, I have an 8GB 3G with FW 3.0.1 jailbroken with redsn0w for Windows if that info is important.

iTunes 8. whatever what? you have to go back as far as 8.2 at least. And what version of Windows? And if you already installed anything above that version on a Vista machine and try to downgrade forget it. Won’t work.

0xE800003D – After almost 3 hours of working I got iTunes to recognize ipcc and now I got this problem.

I know what everyone has already said, check for carrier logos and crap. I did that BEFORE I even started trying this MMS activation stuff. I took off my custom AT&T logo. Guess I just keep taking stuff off until this works.

If it helps anyone, here is what finally made my iTune (9.0.1.8) recognize ipcc. Instead of ““C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1″ I did “cd C:\Program Files\iTunes\” and then “iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1″

Now onto this new shit…

Your problem is most likely iTunes 9.0.1, either downgrade or use another machine with a earlier version, 8.x works (like mine), 9.0 MIGHT work (per others)

Yes, the one next to the 3.1 question, the one always used to update things.

I think some of you guys are unzipping the files you’re downloading. I did this by accident my first try. DO NOT unzip the file, just rename the zipped files extension to a .ipcc then you should be able to see it.

I have Itunes 8.2 it lets u look for ipcc

Nice dude…worked like a charm thanks!

Has anyone found anything besides carrier logos that have caused the 0xE800003D error code? I just can’t figure this out.

Don’t want to remove everything from my phone and start over. At that point, I might as well of just restored my phone 3 and a half hours ago…

I didnt even think about someone doing that. That makes a lot of sense why other people arent able to find it. Lol. Silly people

I got iTunes 9.1 to work on my 3Gs, 3.0.1, jailbroken phone but it would only recognize 5.5 and not 5.0 for some reason…Still working to get 5.0 to work…

I have the same exact phone and software that you have but csnlt mine to work…any ideas???

Installed 5.0 carrier file (iTunes 9.0 recognized the file just fine, BTW) and no ATT logo issue, but MMS still doesn’t work even after resetting network and re-entering info, shutting down, doing the hokey-pokey…

and that AIN’T what it’s all about, apparently! Help, please?!

MacBook Pro, SnowLeopard. JB iPhone 3.0, Aries…

Sorry I have iTunes 9.0.1.8, my mistake but I downloaded 5.0 from a different website and it worked fine, the only difference I could see was that the first 5.0 file I downloaded was only 12.7kb and the new one I downloaded from rapidshare was 56.7kb…hopefully this will help everyone out…

read above…hope this helps u

After you go into cmd and enter:

cd C:\Program Files\iTunes (enter)
iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1 (enter)

Then open iTunes and sync your phone
Go to the “Info” window for your phone and while pressing “shift” click the Upgrade button…A new window will open and on the bottom right you will see file extensions for ipsw…click that and select ipcc. instead and hit open, a window should open and say Updating Carrier…Then rebbot your iPhone and WOOHOOO…

im so mad, i updated the carrier settings on 3 other phones one one 3.0.1 and the other 2 on 3.0 and they are able to send mms, and me that im on 3.1 im not able to send mms and all 4 phones are 3g iphones

uh I didn’t use Quotations..

I’m on windows vista 32 bit with iTunes 9.0.1 and a 3g iPhone running 3.0.1 fw, jailbroken.make sure you have itunes closed first. at the command promt I typed cd c:\program files
then enter uppercase dose not matter
type cd itunes then enter

itunes.exe /setprefint carrier-testing 1
then start itunes shift update and it will let you change from ipsw to ipcc
I used the 5.0 ipcc
updated after restarting works like a charm

This how you should do it:
1. in windows open cmd program
2. type “cd c:\Program Files\iTunes” without the “” then press enter
3. type “iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1″ without the “” then press enter

You should be able to select the .ipcc file now

It did worked! but i noticed that my tethering does not work anymore. It doesnt show up anymore. I want my tethering back now.

Try 5.0 carrier, I had an old 5.0, updated to this 5.0 that now shows “cellular data network” settings, and still has tethering. I’m not sure if u can downgrade though, try it.

OOH yeah,. i tested MMS (sending to myself) and it worked fine.. i havnt tried sending to anyone else yet, it is 2:20 am.

I have MMS on 3GS on AT&T plan for a mounth with 4.0

for anyone that is having problems.

IT’S THE LITTER i(eye) NOT L (ell)in “setPrefInt”

I feel like a moron, I just wasted like 30min trying to figure out why it wasn’t working for me.

Info:
iPhone 3GS 32GB; Windows XP; had 9.1 (didn’t work), downgraded to 9.0

hope that helps

why use 5.0 when 5.1 is better

You can go back and forth all you want. I’ve done it.

I have the old baseband and mine works just fine.

This process works perfectly fine for me. Maybe you just aren’t reading and following the directions?

Yeah this was said about 15 times already…and you were still having the problem…maybe you didnt read all of the posts.

I agree, I’ve been using MMS for a week with carrier 5.1. Tethering and visual voicemail still work, with no need to edit network settings. Link to .ipcc with carrier 5.1:

It’s hosted by Aaron Krill at his blog. If anyone is still having trouble I would read his post from Sep. 10:
http://www.krillr.com/blog/N72ZCXJH/tutorial-mms-on-iphone-os-31-att

How do you downgrade from iTunes 9 to a previous version?

i found out today by talking to at&t that a lot of phones were locked out of mms, this will me fixed automatically but you can just call them and they’ll do it for you, mine is working perfectly now

have 3G / 3.01 / ben’s tethering / NOT JB..
just followed your directions.. took 3 minutes total..now have MMS / tethering and still have 3.01!
THANKS!!

I’ve also been getting the hanging sending status bar. I have a feeling it has more to do with AT&T getting overloaded with MMS messages than it has to do with the procedure. Although, I did use the 5.0 carrier settings so I could keep tethering with PDAnet. Would PDAnet still work with the 5.5 carrier settings? Or is the hanging MMS status having to do with it being on 5.0 vs. 5.5? Mysteries abound…

I’ve read other people stating that PDAnet still works, but the official tethering does not. Personally, I’d rather keep the official tethering because it is 1.) free and, 2.) seems to work better for me, but it you paid for PDAnet then just go with 5.5. Just check their site to make sure there are no problems. Good luck!

You guys just totally ROCK!

Thanks for making my 3.01 3gs do it all, and still remain jailbroken!!!! MMS works like a charm with the 5.0 installed as recommended!!!!

Thanks Again!

I have a 3GS JB on 3.0.1 and I had the 5.0 ipcc installed and MMS was working perfectly as well as the tethering. The only problem that I was having out of 5.0 was my visual voicemail wasn’t working. I installed the 6.0 ipcc file tonight to my phone and it is all working great! MMS still works just fine tethering is still free and great and my visual voicemail is back and works fantastic!

When I couldn’t see the ipcc files I broke the cmd into blocks. cd programs,cd itunes, itunes.exe /setPreflnt carrier-testing 1. I also updated my itunes to 9.01. Idon’t think I need to update if I had done the cmds as I listed. I had been trying all day just putting it straight in windows7

Thiers a way to get mms with out all these steps using cydia!!!!! Add the source: repo.sinfuliphone.com then install mms & tethering settings and that’s it!!!! I have a 3gs and I’m still on 3.0.1 and everything works good even tethering!

Thanks Santamaria,
Good catch! This would have driven me nuts had I not read your reply.

I can’t change the path in cmd help pls I have a 3Gs on the 3.0.1 firmware. When I open my cmd Display c:\user\myname how do I change it to c:\

it was the “I” vs “L” in “setPrefInt”… the font i use to display this page made it look like an “L”.. why he used mixed case in the command, who knows?

Hey guys check this video of this guy in you tube i tried it and it really works no setting to mess with and no cmd problems or ippc not found in itunes, it really works trust me on this

i got MMS and tethering Working I got an Iphone 3Gs with the firmware 3.0.1 no settings to mess with All i did was go to safari type this in help.benm.at/help.php and click mobileconfigs tethering & settings, download it select your country then your carrier (it supports ATT & tmobile if you have your iphone unlocked) finish and reboot your phone and your done no settings need it. let me know if works for you, because worked for me

I don’t know if anyone else is having this, I read about halfway down, and can’t find anything. I have a 3GS running JB 3.0.1, with IPCC 5.0 (did advanced settings) and have no camera icon on my phone. Everything was done to the “t”, and was done on both a PC and a virtual Mac. I don’t know what is going on here, I’m discombobulated, and I’d like my MMS now. Herp?

It is in C: Just type the command as it is written. You’re fine.

UPDATE: Installed, instructions followed, still no camera icon. This is upsetting.

EDIT: I got it working, seems you have to actually go to Settings -> Messages and Enable the MMS Messaging on the 3GS. Thanks to above who posted a rather lengthy expose on this. LOL

I’m an avid reader to this site but I haven’t seen where I can JB a 3.1 iphone with 5.11.07 firmware using a windows computer. Downgrading works only so far and it creates more problems. Did I miss the steps to JB this thing?

I also tried your suggested link help.benm.at/help.php
and it did not work. I am on 3GS JB with 3.01

If your pics aren’t sending, don’t think it’s because of using 5.0 and not 5.5. I installed 5.5 and it errors out towards the end of “sending”. I guess it’s just because AT&T sucks.

Hi, I see you did a lot of posts about your way of putting in MMS and I want to thank you for that becuase that is what I used. I do want to say that I havent had to change any settings in the (Settings – General – Network -Cellular Data Network) becuase everything works just fine after just doing the update to get MMS working on my 3.0.0 Firmware iPhone 3GS.. I would like to ask though.. I have found now that my Call Forwarding doesnt work. You can go the the settings and hit Call Forwarding On then it takes you to the phone dial pad to input a number then once you do that you hit the back to CallForwarding and it processes and auto matically turnes if off again and it just keeps doing that everytime you do this. I called Apple and they said they didnt know and I called AT&T and they reset my all my settings and their settings and still the same thing. They told me to restore but I wanted to ask you guys about it first since EVERYTHING is working but that.. Can you give me any input or at least post this and let me know..

Confirmed.

Sweet!! dont now how but it worked on m 64 bit vista machine!!! I made all the mistakes. Be patient and read!! Thanks

You have to actually “reboot” your iphone instead of just respring the baseband.

I’m using iTunes 9.0.1.8
a Jailbroken 3.0.1 3GS
I’ve used the official .ipcc, the 5.0, and a custom ‘Stealth’ version that is just 5.0 with the correct settings (i think)… nothing works

I have followed all of the steps exactly, and I constantly get a red exclamation point when trying to send MMS. Normal text works and I spoke with ATT and Apple about it and they were unable to do anything…

any ideas?

Do I need this update I already have the mms settings and tethering from cydia mms settings download and everything is working for me im on 4.0 still

strange… ATT says everything on their side is as it should be, and I’m almost certain I’ve done everything correctly…

any ideas???

Attention If you at any time had an iPhone 2G, you must speak with AT&T’s technical support, not business care. Make sure they ask for the last four digits of the IMEI and ICCID numbers. I have found that if your message sending is failing it is likely that your account has a reference to the 2g and it is killing your mms. Make sure they check those numbers, because they can’t just look for references to 2G. And make sure they don’t send you to Apple technical support. I did this and went through three techs and finally had one that found the mismatch. Be patient yet forcefull… Good luck!

So everythings working fine for me, but i’m having ONE problem, ever since i enabled MMS through this hack (using the 5.0 carrier settings file) i cannot send a group SMS. Whenever i attempt to select more than one recipient in a new message being composed, it changes the message from being a new text message to being a “Group MMS.” I don’t know why it’s doing this, but if i compose a message, no matter what the content, my iPhone insists on using an MMS template for any message with more than one recipient…..is anyone else seeing this? iPhone 3g jailbroken on 3.0.1 fw, and the 5.0 carrier settings file with the above hack (and tethering hack enabled).

HELP! my friends get mad when i send them an MMS for no reason…

The above is correct, it is an “i” Not a freakin “L” next to the f….

Hi well I had hard problems updating via iTunes. So what I did is went to cydia and Dow loaded enable mms y thedering. And worked like a charm. Simple as that

heres that file if anyone needs it..scroll to post 19..good luck all. http://modmyi.com/forums/t/685934-t-5-5-ipcc-file-itunes-2.html

I don’t believe carrier files are “signed.” Only firmware files are signed, and it’s done by Apple to try and prevent jailbreaking, not by ATT. Something else must have gone wrong in your attempt to use the method above, as i believe i have the same specs as you and was successfully able to push the carrier update to my phone using the above method.

just my .02

Specifically, hat app did you download??

I have jb 3.0 i have installed and uninstalled big boss at&t logo several time dosent matter what i do cannot get rid of logo. anyone know how to retore original logo. Keep getting error when I try to update.
