[TUTORIAL-MAC] Enable MMS & Tethering on SMART/SUN 1 Year, 2 Months ago Karma: 145  
This is the MAC version of Tulisan's tutorial posted in this thread for Windows users. Karma up to Tulisan for this. Try the short version first, then try the long version if it doesn't work.

Short Version (No Jailbreak Required):
1) Re-enable ipcc uploading on your iTunes 8.2
Open Terminal
copy/paste this:
Code:

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

Close Terminal

2) Download your carrier's ipcc file.
Download SMART ipcc file
Download SUN ipcc file

3) In iTunes, Hold down Option key and Click the "Update" or "Check for Update" Button in the iPhone Summary Panel. Then look for the ipcc file you downloaded in #2 above. Click it, then click "Open".
iTunes will upload the settings to your iPhone.

4) Reset Network Settings (Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings)

5) Dance. Unless it doesn't work, then proceed with the long version. Read my note at the end.
------------------------------------------------
Long Version
Things needed:
1. Jailbroken iPhone 3G (factory unlocked or ultrasn0wed)
2. OpenSSH installed on iPhone 3G via Cydia
3. Fugu
4. Terminal
5. CarrierBundlehack.zip file
File Attachment:
File Name: CarrierBundlehack.zip
File Size: 3150

Instructions:

Note: If you are using a custom profile that you got from help.benm.at/help.php, you should remove it first to avoid conflict. To remove it, goto Settings, General, then scroll to the bottom and look for the Profile. Click it and choose remove.

1. Unzip or unrar the attachment to a folder. It should contain Smart_ph.bundle and Sun_ph.bundle files.

2. Using Fugu, SSH to your iPhone (root/alpine) via WiFi. (How to SSH on MAC)

3. In Fugu, go to /System/Library/Carrier Bundles folder. Drop the two bundle files into that folder.

4. Just as a precaution, check that the folder's permission is 0755 and the files inside the bundle have permission 0644 (should be by default). Right click and Get Info to check permissions. Don't quit Fugu yet.

5. Now, you have to create a symlink for the folders. Open Terminal and SSH into your iPhone
Code:

 ssh  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  


Enter the following command in Terminal after you've logged in:
Code:

 cd /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles 


Your prompt should look like this:


Enter the following commands:
Code:

 
ln -s Smart_ph.bundle 51503 
ln -s Sun_ph.bundle 51505



6. Quit Terminal. Go back to Fugu. Reload the Carrier Bundle Folder that you were in. Check if double-clicking the newly created symbolic link files 51503 and 51505 will bring you inside the bundle for that carrier. If it does then you're good to go.

7. Reset Network Settings. (Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings). This will reboot your iPhone. /end of tutorial.

After doing the above, the network settings for SMART and SUN will be loaded automatically when you insert a SMART or SUN sim. Remember to do a reboot when switching SIM cards so that the right settings will be loaded (and for MMS to work).

Tulisan's Note:
These settings are only for postpaid SIM (Sun that uses minternet) as APN. If you have other SUN SIM, you can try to edit the APN for Cellular Data. This should work on pospaid and prepaid Smart SIM.

doblezeta's note:
If you previously used an ipcc file, delete or rename the Carrier Bundles folder in /var/mobile/Library/. If you don't delete or rename this folder, the phone will get the settings from this folder instead of in /System/Library/Carrier Bundles.

Nice one ZZ!

@kikz
No, it will not overwrite your globe tethering. It will only add Sun and Smart profiles in your Carrier Bundle list so it will load up the proper settings if you change SIMs (assuming you have a factory unlocked iPhone)

whoah...been looking for something like this last night (after i saw tulisan's windows version)

i followed tulisan's tutorial last night (but i was using a mac)..i didn't do the step where i have to create 'symlink' as i was using diskaid and cyberduck...i wasn't able to find the option

i even went out of my room to use a windows pc...but after restart (i also did the custom carrier logo)...i checked and i already have the MMS option under settings

tried sending a msg to myself, was able to send and receive it. tried sending a msg to someone else (same carrier - smart)..and she was able to receive it as well

may i ask, what is the symlink for? will there be an issue skipping that part, esp that i am now able to send/receive mms?


Thanks so much for this

I think having a symlink will make your phone know or identify the carrier bundle you placed since originally it doesn't exist in the list of carriers. 51503 (Smart) and 51505 (Sun) is i think some carrier code for those networks when you placed a Smart or Sun sim in a factory unlocked phone that helps the iPhone identify which network that sim connects to.

This is how I understand it but it somehow makes sense to me.

jAyTriXz is correct, without the symlink, I don't think the phone will load the proper network settings after you insert the SIM. The symlink number corresponds to the Carrier code.

I'm not really sure about its exact function. Have you tried changing SIMS (bet Sun and Smart) and see if the proper settings load?
