This guide will tell you how to get MMS on an iPhone 3G or 3GS running 3.0 or 3.01 still.

THIS WILL GET YOU THE OFFICIAL AT&T 5.5 CARRIER FILE ON YOUR PHONE WITHOUT UPDATING TO 3.1 LIKE APPLE/AT&T WANT YOU TO DO!

Also please note, if you want to do this on an an original iPhone (2G), please see my previous post on that subject.

There are many reasons for this… actually like two.

So to begin, first thing is first:

1. Be sure you close iTunes

2.

MAC OS X:
Close iTunes.
Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
Run the command:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

Windows 32 Bit:
Close iTunes.
Go to Start then Run and type CMD.
Run this command:

"C:Program FilesiTunesiTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

Windows 64 Bit:
Close iTunes.
Go to Start then Run and type CMD.
Run this command:

"C:Program Files (x86)iTunesiTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

3. After you accomplish that, you will need to download this Official AT&T 5.5 Carrier File. I’d have recommend you save it to your desktop.

4. Open iTunes up, and plug in your iPhone, say NO to updating to 3.1 firmware.

5. Click your iPhone in the left sidebar, and then:
(Mac) Option+Left Click the “Update” button.
(Win) Shift+Left Click the “Update” button.

6. After that, you’ll see a window show up where you need to select the type of file before it lets you choose it.

7. After that, pick the AT&T_US.ipcc file, and choose Open.

8. Nothing will really happen to notify you that it worked, after you’re done though, unplug your phone

9. Reboot your phone.

10. Go into Settings, and then General, then About, your carrier should show your carrier as AT&T 5.5.

11. If all is well so far, then you should be able to start sending/receiving MMS messages.

12. Enjoy, and post any questions/comments/concerns in the comments section, and direct your friends to this post as well.

Alright…

Long story short.

I’ve got an original MacBook (white) with a broken CD/DVD drive, and I want to install Snow Leopard on Friday when it comes out.

I plan on buying a copy, but first I want to make sure I can upgrade somehow.

A co-worker of mine has a new uni-body MacBook, so I decided I should try putting my HDD into his MacBook and booting it today, just to make sure it goes without a hitch, and that way I could use his DVD drive to install the upgrade to Snow Leopard…

Well, here’s what happened when we tried booting.

Also note, there’s no Apple logo when it boots with this HDD?!?

The first time we tried it, it was stuck at “waiting for root device” and a reboot fixed it though, and it did the following.

Shutdown is weird too, also shown in the video.

I cannot get photos off my iphone anymore, this just recently started happening, and only happens on my computer, I can get them on my work PC just fine. This is Windows Vista Ultimate 64, and at work I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32
