Is it possible to ENABLE 3G ONLY Network on iPhone 4 Jailbreak? How to do that?

Like we all know, iOS on iPhone 4 only have featured Enabled Network (GPRS, EDGE and 3G) and one another checkbox to enable 3G data.

My Question is how to make my iPhone 4 only work on 3G Network? So when my location did't coverage 3G Network.. our Data Network will be disable.

Is it possible?

I remember that there is some file you change a setting in that forces the iPhone to only use the 3G network. This was on 3.X though and I don't remember the file or how to properly edit it.

You need to try a little harder.


My method is similar to that mentioned in post #4.
1) Install "iFile" from Cydia (you can find it under "Featured packages")
2) browse to /var/wireless/Library/Preferences/
3) Select csidata, and choose "text viewer"
4) Scroll to the bottom of the file and find GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1
5) Select "Edit"
6) Change:
FROM: GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1
TO: GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x2
(FYI: 0x0(GSM/EDGE ONLY), 0x1(GSM/EDGE + 3G), 0x2(3G ONLY))
7) Reboot the phone.
You're done.

To return it to GSM+3G (normal.) Simply go in to iPhone Settings>General>Network. Select "Enable 3G" to "OFF" (wait a few seconds) then turn it back ON. This will reset "GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1" (normal again.)

Note, if you don't see the line "GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1" in the csidata file. Do the Settings>General>Network and toggle "enable 3G" off and back on. This will print the line to the settings file for you to go back and edit.

I have iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 and jailbroken. I wish to force 3G mode on my iPhone. But when i go to csidata file, i do not have any entry like...

GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=

I did toggle 3G as mentioned in the above post here.
Any help?
