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

[tateu]

No real difference on my ATT 5s at work.

After 3 or 4 tests on each

Before:
Signal Strength: approximately -107 dBm
Download Speed Range: 1.18 Mbps - 5.62 Mbps
Upload Speed Range: 0.48 Mbps - 2.26 Mbps

After
Signal Strength: approximately -107 dBm
Download Speed Range: 0.88 Mbps - 7.64 Mbps
Upload Speed Range: 0.52 Mbps - 0.89 Mbps

Anyone on sprint and are trying this

Yep. I'm on Sprint. iPhone 6. Just did this, and it seems to have helped.

I live in the middle of nowhere and admittedly yesterday (before hack) I caught my first LTE signal at home whereas I normally got a useless 3G or 1x signal. Played with speed tests all day yesterday/last night/this morning and looking at my signal, the best I could get was -113 with download test maxing around 5Mbps.

Just installed the new carrier bundle and I'm showing -103 and 13Mbps. Multiple tests in the same spot in the house before and after. I'm happy! I can ditch the useless Airave now.

Also just want to say, it seems that user shane1982 is either a shill or just a cocky know it all. Wow. Dude needs to calm down if it's the latter, and gtfo if it's the former. LOL

I am debating if i should try it or not.

I get 4-8mbps in my house for some reason and sometimes slip into 3g


Edit: Just applied this to my 6+ and I have 4-5 bars of LTE and getting 15mbps-18mbps in my home. I was able to revert using the link below to make sure it was reversible and got back to Verizon 18.0 with the same PRL I had before. Now I am re applying the hack once again.

Thanks!!

What method did you do to go back and how do you check the PRL?

Just wondering if this hack overrides the dreaded 5gb limit throttling on Unlimited ATT plans?

Alright guys I need some help. Pretty sure this isn't related to the carrier settings though. All I did was insert my sim from my nexus 6 into my 6+ as I was going to use my nexus as my primary device today. Well, both of my accounts have unlimited data and are LTE, obviously, so I shouldn't be throttled. Speed test on sim 1 gives me normal LTE speeds on my 6+. Sim 2 gives me very abnormal speeds on my 6+. Here's a picture of the speeds I am getting now. Something isnt right lol.

Never got an answer to this myself, just ignored. Hope someone answers this.

Throttling is carrier side. We can't override that.

No.
That's done on the carriers side of the network.
You cant bypass or hack it on the customers end.

Well makes sense. Any idea if it's worth it for ATT users? The topic has a ton of posts and I'm stuck with the baby today

for me, my signal strength went up, and my download speed improved. some say, it's illusion and nothing has changed at all...

but i'm happy...

Might give it a shot then. Any steps I should take before I got for it? Saving the current or have to restore it. Call me paranoid lol

The instructions in the first post? Because I'm just as panicky about this as you lol

i certainly wasn't panicky, just careful.

just read thru the whole thread, get a sense of what you're getting in to. then, if you're sure you want to proceed, proceed.

I think I'm careful but most I know call it panic lol. Guess I'll read this and give it a try when I get home.

When wil; there be carrier profiles for the UK networks, eager to try this out on O2/GiffGaff

Has anyone gotten this to work with the iPhone 5 on Sprint?

I ran the terminal command and selected the ipcc file, a window pops up saying "updating carrier settings" for about 1 second and disappears. When I go to settings, it still says Sprint 18.0, not 20.x.x like others are saying it should. I have followed the directions exactly and tried it with my other backup iPhone 5 with the same results. What is going on?

Did you install the commcenter patch? It will not work without that.

[kalirob99]

Alright doing this in a little for US ATT

 

[exizeo]

How do I do this?

Holding shift then hitting restore doesn't open the menu.

EDIT: Ok. 1.2mbps -> 1.8mbps, 2.5 bars -> 3.5 bars (with Bars tweak)
