hello everyone,
i've tried searching for methods to enable carrier settings working on my t-mobile (USA) phone unlocked to 1.1.2 firmware. so far the only guide i have found is listed below from http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17185
Has anyone been able to get carrier settings working on their phone? i tried the method below and it doesnt work for me...i'm not sure if i am doing something wrong in the editing process tailored to t-mobile settings. i plug in my att card and carrier settings show up, but doesnt work for my t-mobile. anyone can help?



Carrier settings *optional* (For those who wanna sexy up that iphone )

- Winscp to your phone and put ls and bash in /bin
- Click on "more", set both permissions to 0755
- Check here for your carrier's MCC and MNC (it's not as hard as it sounds)

e.g MCC = 334 MNC = 02, the number we'll need is 33402

- Open the Telcel.plist in UltraEdit or wordpad and modify accordingly (Don't forget to rename your .plist file & change the supported sim section)
- Use winscp to put the modified .plist to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/
- Open putty and connect to your phone
- Type bash at the prompt
- Type cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
- Type ln -s NUMBER YOURCARRIER.plist

e.g ln -s 33402 Telcel.plist

- Remove your sim and put some other sim in it to reset the carrier settings(maybe that unactivated att simcard lying around? )
- Remove the sim card and put back in yours after the phone detected it
- You should be set, no reboot needed

I think the command should be

ln -s Telcel.plist 33402

I was able to easily get it working....

Modify a .plist file of your choosing and save it to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/TMobile_US.plist
(I used the TMobile_Germany file as an example.)

Create a symlink to your file

ln -s TMobile_US.plist 310260
(in the above directory of course)

swap in an at&t sim, remove it and swap in the t-mobile sim.

Both files in /var/root/Library/Preferences should link to your modified .plist
ls -la in the above directory will show you what they're linked to.

You MUST use the correct MNC/MCC, everything I read told me it should be 31026 which is NOT correct it is 310260 for me in SoCal.

There is also a supported sims section in the new plist files you must add the correct number there as well.
<key>SupportedSIMs</key>
<array>
<string>310260</string>

I can post my TMobile_US.plist file if you want, but you will still need to make sure you're using the correct MNC/MCC.

There is a good list on Wikepedia as well as many other pages on the net.
