Ahh, the fun of trying new things is creating new problems by accident.
I will just dive in: Hi hi, how are ya.. etc..welcome..
Okay, Carrier .plist. Nothing is ever small.
My old backup has a bloody p.list entry problem in it, I figure. This backup is my unfortunately my MAIN backup.
I want to know what programs are out there, used by other jb'ers to strip my contacts, and various .var's and inject them into a new 'bundle' to be
sewn into a new IPSW.
A while back, I got rid of Ultrasnow altogether. I use a modified p.list in carrier bundle instead tailored to the specific sim card.
The service provider runs on the shirt tails of another (Chat-r is a Rogers Child service) so 8 digit prefix (89302720) but the suffix is different.
Connecting one and one, I set out to doctor the Rogers plist, to accept the chatr sim.
...No I didn't have any idea what I was doing. How else am I going to further knowledge then to experiment with it....
I devised a strategy where I could mod the p.list entry and tailor it to the exact sim I wanted to use, INSTEAD of just opening it wide up using ultrasnow.
I figured this out by looking closely at a couple of old sim cards I had, I was putting the numbers together and just, trial and error. It took about 4 hours of
dorfing around before I got it.
Before the p'list mod, I would slide the Chatr sim in the phone, and no service. After modding the p'list, entry:
I got bars. I "theorized" that I used the built in Rogers carrier settings, hacked up the plist and set it up to accept the chatr sim.
Now this is where it gets fuzzy. I am starting to believe that the work I did to the Rogers plist, was actually pointless. The reasoning behind:
is upon discovery of the 'UNKown Carrier Plist' file, I have no idea what carrier plist settings the phone is using. I restored the device back to its original settings and after
restarting the phone, I was mystified to find out the chatr sim worked, anyways....running the stock p.list settings. Which to me makes no sense, because it didn't just blink-in work beforehand?
I have modified something. Its not a question, but a statement. Did the phone auto correct? I'm looking for someone to explain to me in depth how exactly this occurred.
Because now I can definitely USE the chatr sim, however NOW I am trying to get iMessage to work, to no avail. and there is something going on between the
phone activator and the plist entry. I can get in to modify the plist no problem.. but I cant figure out WHICH plist is being used?
Anyway, If you know of anything that may help, or perhaps its in a cydia repo or something, or a desktop program. I run Win7, Most current Itunes, WINSCP, and plist editor pro. Software
for the phone is: 5.1.1, BB 05.16.05, activated with an old Rogers Sim, Cydia --> Absinth. SBS settings, OpenSSH, SSHConnect, Tetherme installed. Its a 3GS, 16GB. Built by me from 3 other
wrecked phones.
AND just to let you know, I will be STILL be scouring the search engines for anything, the NATURE of the problem makes it hard to find any results for.
