Troubleshooting:
Those receiving the 0xE800003D error: Did you install a carrier theme from Cydia? Like the AT&T logo or MakeitMine? If so remove that and try again. It seems that others before were getting that error because of this.

On Windows I get this error in the command prompt: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." Anybody else getting this error? Im running on Vista 32 bit.

Try it again, Make sure to copy and paste the command exactly as you see it. (Include the quotations)

This didn't work for me or my wife's 3GS. We had the BenM ICC profiles on our phones for tethering. We tried applying the MMS ICC without uninstalling the BenM ICC, and while we had the option to send MMS now, it fails each time with a red !. We then uninstalled the BenM ICC and tried sending each other MMSs, and it still fails.

We're both JB 3.0.

BTW, the ICCs were applied in iTunes with no issue on a Mac, but MMS just doesn't work.

Can't wait to get out of work and give this a try. Thanks man!

On OS X.5.7, iTunes 8.2.1 and iPhone JBed 3.0 I am not able to select either the .zip file downloaded, nor the bundle extracted in the file dialog in iTunes. They are both grayed out.

Do I need to upgrade something?

whooot =]

[savior1974]

For the people that it's not working for, Where you guys already using another hacked ipcc? Maybe you have to find a way to reinstall the original ipcc and then upgrade that way.

Just did it on my 3GS and my girls 3G. Both are sending MMS just fine

There shouldn't be any zip folders downloaded. There's just the ipcc.

No ive never modified any of the carrier file settings.

is 5.5 the offical carrier file or is it another hack job?

Trying to replicate the error on my end. What iTunes are you using? Windows, or Mac? Also what phone do you have? After installing the cmd prompt, did you guys restart itunes?

Getting this same error but I'm trying this now from my work pc which I've never synced my iphone to.

I'm assuming this only works on the PC where you sync your phone to. Has anyone successfully done this on a pc that they never sync their phone to?

I'm doing this from my PC that I always sync to and I'm getting this error. I think this error is unrelated to what PC you are on.

just wanted to say, works perfectly....

i dunno if anyone else did this...but when i first cut and paste the command line, i didnt copy the first " which messed up running it....noticed it and did it again with the " in the begining, works perfectly..

Now swirly MMS is acting weird....it shows up as there is a new message, but when i open it up, it says the message is NOT found...even though its in my stock SMS app.

Using Mac, iTunes 9.0.1, 3GS and restarted itunes..still get error

[Skystar]

Does the official carrier file kill the benM tethering also?

[rotobadger]

Windows XP, Jailbroken 3GS running 3.0. Worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the help!!!
