Last week Apple released iOS 4.0.2 which was merely a patch to block the recently created http://jailbreakme.com, however, interestingly enough, they did not fix the redsn0w exploit for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G. So if you own an iPhone 3G or an iPod 2G all you need to do is simply use the lastest release of Redsn0w 0.9.5-b5 beta. This release will also hacktivate your iPhone 3G on 4.0.2, if you have not already been activated using iTunes.

If you require an unlock simply install ultrasn0w.

How To: T-Mobile iOS4 MMS Fix

Posted by Austin on Aug 7, 2010 in Apple, Cydia Apps, Featured, Guides, iPhone, iPhone & iPod Touch | 33 comments

Many people are having some issues with iOS4 and getting the T-Mobile USA MMS to work. This is something that I did on my own phone and worked for me. I hope it works for you also.

First thing, you are going to need to add a new repo to Cydia. Add http://cydia.pushfix.info, this is the repo that has the needed fix for T-Mobile MMS.

To add this repo to Cydia, get on Cydia go to Manage, tap on Sources, tap Edit, tap Add. Type in cydia.pushfix.info. Allow Cydia to reload the sources.

Go to Sources and find PushFix.info, scroll down and you should find ” T-Mobile US MMS Fix for iOS4” install that. Once you have installed the fix, you are now going to go back to the iPhone settings.
