It works.
Im on 3.0 not JB.

I had the benm hack for Tethering and MMS

Use the file posted by the gentleperson from LV

My settings were updated...still can do everything I did before this update but now I'm a bit more official. LOL

I didn't have the MMS hack, only Tethering on 3.0 from BenM. Now I'm on 3.1 but the tethering hack still works. Do you think if I update my carrier I will lose tethering?

Why are people not wanting to update to 3.1? That makes no sense unless your jailbroken...

Umm, even people I know that aren't JB don't have much good to say about 3.1 Crashing is the big issue-I need the JB/Unlock, but even if not, I probably would not have upgraded yet.
 
MMS is nice to finally have. Took long enough. But absolutely positively no doubt about it - DO NOT upgrade to 3.1. Apple will not allow you to downgrade to a previous version. Many people have experienced lower battery life after 3.1 - including myself.

Ok, so I guess I have to decide if I want to keep my exchange account for work, or be able to use MMS.
(3.1 is required for MMS. 3.1 on the IPhone 3G breaks exchange active sync.)

Thanks for putting me in that situation Apple!

It only breaks Exchange Active Sync if hardware encryption is turned on on the server side. Oh, and it doesn't break it, it actually fixes it by enforcing the encryption. Not sure why the old 3G phones don't support that level of hardware encryption though.

Only true for 3G-old 3G can be downgraded but it is a pain and if you installed 3.1 without using pwnage tool then you can't unlock anymore 🙁

Yes, you can downgrade to 3.0.

I have a 3G and an MS Exchange account for work email.

So, I guess I get to either have MMS and no work email, or work email and no MMS.

This isnt a bug, if your exchange server requires device encryption it wont allow a 3g to connect anymore, it was a bug in 3.0

network won't crash because only about 25% iPhone users have upgraded to 3.1.

Mobile ad firm AdMob today released a bit of data that provides an interesting glimpse into operating system versions being used on the iPhone and iPod touch. According to a survey of ad requests received during the week of September 15th-22nd, just after Apple's release of iPhone OS 3.1, 23% of aggregate users of the iPhone OS had already updated to iPhone OS 3.1. An additional 51% of users were running iPhone OS 3.0, with the remainder running earlier versions of iPhone OS.

So can I get my email or not?

Nope, can't get it with 3.1

I guess it's broken.

iphone 3GS with version 3.0 with tething (non-jailbroken) with this morning's new 5.5 carrier file. sending MMS with no problem. (average send time 25 seconds) This is great! MMS also working with wifi on or off.

Really, mine sends within 10 secs... hmmm. Guess it depends on where you live? Pensacola, FL here.

are you sure the tethering is still functional? your the first person I know of many that it still works with 3.1. the menu will stick but it will not give you internet.

As someone on 3.0 with the benm.at tethering enabled I can say that .. rightclicking this link posted above and selecting "download linked file" .. then subsequently option-clicking in iTunes (9.xx) and selecting the downloaded .ipcc file will result in the carrier settings be upgraded and any jailbreaks/hacks not being affected.. then everyone enjoys a great friday, no?!?

My 3Gs isnt jailbroken, but I wasn't willing to go to 3.1 and lose my tethering just for some MMS. but now i can have my cake and eat it too. kinda.

I can say that after downloading the .ipcc. installing it. rebooting. i have MMS and benm.at still works.

thanks guy/gal who posted this carrier file
 
non all my anti iPhone friends can **** about me not being able to get proper MMS. The phone is ALMOST up to par for being the best smartphone. I just need Flash and Tethering (although I probably never used tethering, but still). Flash is desperately needed. It's ridiculous they don't have this yet.
