    Hi Kanchan

    I downloaded the ipcc file & tried those commands in C:

    but could not succeed in doing Shift+Restore after opening itunes. Actually after opening itunes I could not find Restore. so no open window pop up came.

    Can you throw some light on this.

        Hi all
        I have created custom ipcc for mms and tetharing. Recently I have installed it on my iPhone 3g 3.0 using latest itune(don’t remember version) and it’s working fine.
        If anyone needs that ipcc drop me a mail on kanchankjha @ gmail

        best

      Hi Kanchan

      I finally succeeded in getting the ipcc file into my iPhone.

      What happened after that are mentioned below;

      1) this changed my Vodafone logo to red Vodafone.
      2) it activated my cellular Data Network option.

      But Tethering is still not activated.

      do you have other file for tethering. If yes Please let me know.

      Regards

      Anil Pardeshi

    Will this work with Iphone 2g?

    1. deepaknl says:

      If your 2G is running OS 3.0 then this will work.

  21. Nemo says:

    Thanks, but why did you change the carrier name.? Can you create a file without the carrier name change?

    1. deepaknl says:

      I have made the changes to the file. You can reload the file and apply. Now it will not change the carrier name.

      1. Nemo says:

        Thanks a lot.
