MMS/tethering on iPhone 2G (3.1.2)
Finally. After what seems like a ridiculous amount of futzing around, MMS & tethering working on an iPhone 2G.
- If you’ve already attempted to get this working by screwing around with your phone, your best bet is to do a clean restore to 3.1.2. You should already know how to do this using pwnage tool. It’s really really easy, especially if your phone is already unlocked/jailbroken.
- Add cydia.iphonemod.com.br and cydia.pushfix.info to your Cydia sources
- Install “iPhone 2G: tethering, MMS and full Bluetooth” from Cydia
- Download the appropriate carrier settings zip files from modmyi.
- In terminal run [~] defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
- Unzip the file you downloaded earlier.
- Start iTunes and select your iPhone.
- Hold Option down while clicking the ‘Update’ button
- Select the appropriate ipcc file
- Reset your Network settings.
Voila! Why did I desperately need this? Nagios is sending us alert notifications through an email gateway and I’d much rather mess with my phone than figure out how to get nagios to only send me plain SMS. Goodbye G1, it’s been, um, slow.
