iPhone Carrier hack patch, get better service/bars from your carrier.

[rick snagwell]

This is an utter farce. Before and after tests using a dock so the phone didn't move even a cm. Same test server. You all can believe what you want, but there's no logic to the carrier file giving you bars where bars don't exist, not "boosting" the amount of signal received. I laugh at the comments "it increased the signal" ... apparently the hack has a way to tap into ATT's transmission tower and crank up the power. LOL

I guess it's like arguing with someone who says the bible is real and god exists. There's no amount of logic you can throw that'll disprove them if they believe.

Maybe in some markets the carrier file is limiting speeds, but certainly not here in the SF Bay area. This carrier hack does absolutely NOTHING here except modify the ability to change the voice\data to 2G 4G LTE, etc.

didnt work for you i see, not everyone sees difference. but go ahead, throw some logic at us.

i for one saw a change in my stuff and no expense to the everyday use of my iphone, so why not i thought. then i just shared with others.

Wrap the back of your phone in aluminum foil. It works for me. No expense for you. Why not?

As I reported earlier, this patch works great for me. I stay on LTE during phone calls and I get 1-2 more bars in my office. Plus the call connects extremely fast. I can often hear the phone ringing before the phone even pulls up the normal on the call screen. This biggest benefit is staying on LTE during a call. I was dropping calls pretty often when switching to 4g in my house. Now, not a single dropped call.

Jailbreak?

Do I need to jailbreak to install the hack?

 

[AppleFanatic10]

If I update to iOS 8.1.1 and jailbreak with this hack still work?

 

[solo118]

Do I need to jailbreak to install the hack?

Yes it requires a download within Cydia.

Overall yes I would say it worked for me. I can't complain, its a free tweak and did not change my iphone experience at all. I thank the developer as it did help an issue I had.

Mine now tells me what carrier I'm on in the settings. Sometimes I get 3-5 bars in my dorm instead of 2.

Here's windows instructions.

C:\Users\busa2009>C:/Program Files (x86)/iTunes then type iTunes.exe/setPrefInt
carrier-testing 1
'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\busa2009>

You have to do it this way.

It's not one command.
Go to the command prompt in Windows and enter "cd C:/Program Files (x86)/iTunes" hit enter and it'll change that to the main directory.
Then copy and paste or manually put "iTunes.exe/setPrefInt carrier-testing 1" and hit enter. That simple.

FROM c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\

INTO c:\program files (x86)/iTunes

There is nothing with QTMovieWin.dll in the directory

After applying this patch I couldn't activate LTE. Had to go 3G for things to work. How can I revert to my original file? I have a Verizon 6.

LTE is turned off after you first apply the patch. You have to go into your cellular settings an re-enable it. There's revert instructions on the iTweakiOs site.

Waiting for Wind Mobile carrier hack. How can I contact the developer of this hack?

 

[HankHowdy]

Its much easier to install the file with ifile.

No need for iTunes or terminal.

How so?

 

[HankHowdy]

How so?

Make a back up of the original plist.

Place the new hacked plist here.

Then reboot.

To return, delete the hacked plist and copy paste the original back in that same folder as pictured.

Then reboot.

Much easier. And no computer needed.
